Highway Society Page #5

---

The suspect is about 30 years old

and is driving a brown Ford Combi.

All tips leading to his arrest

and safe return of the girl -

will be rewarded by the Dirbergs

with 100000 marks.

The dumb jerk.

He's ruining everything.

Don't get upset.

- What?

Don't get upset?

Are you nuts? Takes a runaway

to the Russian border.

Interpol will stumble on our loot.

Fantastic!

Let me take care of him.

- What's that supposed to mean?

Wait a minute...

What if we outrun the cops?

Your deal plus 100000 marks.

- Listen, Popo...

The plane leaves at 8:30 p. m.

You get the girl.

Then you'll put Jack on the plane.

Get going!

What now?

- We're staying the night here.

Not very inviting.

- Perfect. You don't have to come.

There's the shower.

- There.

Hi, Jack!

Still here, Detlev?

- Not for long.

Our suite.

- Just one bed.

And no restaurant.

- No five stars.

That's why so few women

make it in this business.

Men don't care where they sleep.

They only care about money.

That's funny coming from you.

Stop complaining or call

your mother to pick you up.

Say you decided to hitchhike.

Pretend to have amnesia.

Boring.

And I don't lie to my family.

You never lie,

just fib and fabricate.

Bend the truth to make life cozy.

That maybe fine in your circles.

But you come from

the planet of the saints?

Your father...

- What about him?

I know he had

a real estate company.

And that's a cut-throat business.

Of course he kept

you and your mother out of it.

You may think that

dishonesty can help you.

My father got where he did

on decency, integrity and brains.

I'm sure your father was as honest

as he could in his business.

But look at it this way:

If you try to play it clean

when everybody else plays dirty, -

you'll sit on the edge of the sandbox

with clean, empty pockets.

Learn the ground rules.

You have to go to bed with

characters you don't fancy.

Dad never cheated on mom.

He adored her.

It was a figure of speech.

Hey, come to bed.

This is Popo. We're screwed.

It was a no show.

- How's that?

No show here.

- What does that mean?

That they didn't show up.

- Sh*t...

Going north?

Come in.

We'll talk like two adults.

Much obliged.

- I'm appalled.

Your department is doing a lousy job.

We have leads.

It is only a matter of time.

How encouraging.

We're covering a larger area

thanks to Interpol.

Uli, my angel. Good morning.

This is Ulrich von Greeten,

my daughter's fiance.

I'm sure you've heard of his father.

- Afraid not.

Von Greeten Jr.

is better known in police circles.

Weren't you arrested for destroying

a hotel room in Berlin?

Don't remind me

of that dreadful place.

Berlin contacted us...
