... my rifle is jammed, and I can't get it working again. So I take my pistol and fire a couple of rounds, I don't know how many for sure, but I think it was three. We pause there, and I don't even think to reload because I'm trying not to throw up. Anyway, we get the order to charge again, and here I am with a busted rifle and what I assume to be three bullets in my revolver. So me and the guys jump into an enemy trench, and now we're fighting up-close and personal. I see one German and put a round between his eyes—no offense."

"Some taken."

"I see a second, and pow, right through the heart. I get the drop on a third and pull the trigger, but all I hear is a click. It turns out I had fired four shots earlier from that pit and didn't realize it. Anyway, the German soldier points his rifle at me, and I'm sure I'm about to die, but one of my guys shoves me out of the way and ends up taking the bullet in my place. I grab his gun, kill the enemy soldier, and then try to help him, but he's dead.

I wasn't paying attention to my ammo, and someone got killed instead of me. Since then, I've had this nervous need to always know exactly how many bullets I have in my gun. Before I go to bed, before I get up, any time I'm alone, I just have to be sure. If I don't, my stomach twists into a knot, and I get overcome with dread. That click of an empty gun echoes through my brain. It's the sound of death. Speaking of death, do you think this thing really can be killed?"

"Hopefully ...

... not yet."

"Wait, you still want to take him alive?"

"Of course, this is the find of the millennium."

"That's insane. We're literally dealing with a monster of Hell. This beast can't simply be captured like some animal from your jungle safaris."

"Don't you understand what Danut is? Living proof of the ethereal, of the divine, that this world goes beyond what the five mortal senses can perceive. Imagine being able to put an actual demon under a microscope, imagine being able to study the psychology of a man possessed."

"Danut isn't simply a deranged man or a mindless beast. He is pure evil. Nothing good can come of letting him live."

"Regardless, I have to take the risk."

"Why? What could be worth it?"

"This isn't merely about the institute. I may not have seen the horrors of the Great War, but I am living in the nightmare of its aftermath. Germany is starving. The Treaty of Versailles has left my country gutted like a fish, and if we are ever to recover, we'll need a valuable resource. Whether it's utilized as a research subject, a weapon, a trophy, or a chained pet, having this monster in Germany's possession will help us regain authority and prestige, even if it's just a little."

"I spent plenty of time in Germany after the war, and I know things are terrible, but if you let him live, you risk dooming your homeland and the world in the process."

"Well this is all assuming we can get him into the cage."

Despite Volker's drive, the night ended ...
