Escape from Berlin

 Mark stood by the window, peering upon the busy street through lace curtains. From his vantage point on the third floor, he could see the police barricades and barbed wire traversing the road while armed sentries patrolled the perimeter with guard dogs. This remote border crossing had never been secured before, until now, which meant he had been betrayed. Releasing the curtain, he grabbed a cigarette and filled a glass with Scotch. Mark sat on the bed with his pistol on top of the blankets as he savored the vintage blend.

The fine hairs on Mark’s arms tingled, alerting him to the danger when he heard footsteps climbing the stairs. Finishing his drink, he set the empty glass on the night table, taking slow, purposeful drags, and making smoke rings while watching the only entrance, his hand on the gun, as he waited to learn the identity of his betrayer. He couldn’t believe his eyes when the door opened, and he recognized the double agent who entered the room alone, a final confrontation before meeting his fate.
