Scene Sixteen – The Harbor

Alicia: What will you do now?

Renhart: For now, please do what we talked about earlier.

Alicia: Disappear, you mean?

Renhart: That’s right. Our opponent is the Chief of CIA operations in Europe. The man who used to be my boss. He’s ruthless and never off his guard. If something were to happen to you…

Alicia: I understand.

Renhart: I’m going to cool down for a while.

Alicia: ……

Renhart: If you’d like, you’re welcome….

Alicia: No, well, but that’s my way…

Renhart: Well then let’s walk a little.

Alicia: Yes.

Renhart: …..

Alicia: Your friend….

Renhart: An idiot. He had a hand in the black market, so being killed isn’t much of a surprise.

Alicia: But please don’t hate him. You’re only causing yourself pain.

Renhart: ……

Alicia: He was a good man to you, wasn’t he?

Renhart: Yeah.

Alicia: And isn’t that what’s important? That’s the meaning of his life. Not being a criminal. You’re the only one who can recognize that.

Renhart: … That’s true. But I can’t forgive Hume.

Alicia: Your former superior?

Renhart: Yeah.

Alicia: Aren’t you in danger?

Renhart: This is as much as I’ll do. The rest is passed on to the embassy, and they’ll give a report to the CIA home office. The only problem is time.

Alicia: I see.

Renhart: Before all this started, I was feeling defeated. How foolish. I guess people are.

Alicia: There are times when you think that way. And to be angry.

Renhart: …..

Alicia: When a nun starts saying things like this, she’s done for.

Renhart: May I call you by your name?

Alicia: Yes.

Renhart: Alicia, I’m glad I met you.

Alicia: Me too.

Renhart: ….

He takes her hand.

Alicia: Mr. Renhart.

Renhart: Jay.

Alicia: But, I-

Renhart: Quiet now, this is a thank-you kiss.

A muffled gun shot rings out. Renhart pulls Alicia quickly to shelter.

Renhart: This way!

Alicia: What? What on-?

Renhart: Quiet.

He pulls out the little gun he stole from Alexei.

Alicia: ….

Renhart: We’re being shot at.

Alicia: Eh!?

Renhart: Get down.

He tries to aim and fire, but the gun doesn’t work.

Renhart: Damn, Soviet-!

He tosses it away.

Alicia: …..

Renhart: We’ll escape by sea.

Alicia: Eh?

Renhart: Can you swim?

Alicia: ….

Renhart: Can you swim?

Alicia: Yes.

Renhart: Jump in!

Alicia: Now? Like this?

Renhart: Well, there isn’t exactly time to change into your swimsuit!

Alicia: Yes.

Renhart: Here we go.

Alicia: Wait!

He shoves her off the pier.

Alicia: Wait, what are you-? Let me gooooooooooo~

Renhart: At any rate, that was a quick response. Coming to kill me, does that mean they already know where the goods are? How would they know? How could our movements be leaking out? Who is it? Troilo doesn’t know about the guerillas. Meaning it must be…..
