James looked away: “Um, this is an open question, to tell the truth.”

“What do you mean?”

He cleared his throat: “Sophie... this is the first time we meet, but Amanda has told me quite a bit about you. I know you wouldn’t do anything to put us in danger. I know that if we gave you a chance to leave you would go back to living a quiet life as you always have.”

“Except that I can’t, can I? Now I’m a fugitive. Is that what you want to tell me?”

“Not just that. There is, indeed, the problem of your identity, which is now compromised, but I don’t think it would be difficult to give you false papers and a new identity in another part of Europa, where no one knows you. No, this problem can be easily overcome,” James sighed. “I mean that some of the people here... well, they think it would not be safe to send you back home now. They think that would expose us to the medical police.”
