9:00 PM - Saturday, September 7, 1940
Eddie led the way back up the stairs and outside, escorting the German prisoner Leutnant Friedrich Kurtz. Accompanying them were several people, including Story and his companions Elizabeth and Brook, Lord Rufus Colville, Seamus O'Leary, and Eugene Thomson. The bombing had tapered off and grown more distant, thought it could still be heard in the background.
Eddie did know of a nearby police station in Limehouse not far out of the way on the route to the warehouse, on Commercial Road. Seamus knew of it as well, though he had never been there before, being careful to avoid the place. Finding it in the pitch darkness with the once-familiar city disfigured by bombs might not be so simple, however.
