The Murderess from the Grunewald (18): “Preparing for War” (1)

“Berlin - View to the Brandenburg Gate and to the Red City Hall” by Interculture01

Jamie left the prison through the main entrance. He meant to walk on clouds. Yes, everything seemed to be floating. Although he had said goodbye to Claire ten minutes ago, he still smelled her hair and deodorant. Closing his eyes for a moment, Jamie knew that he would recognize that smell everywhere and under all circumstances. She allowed him to comfort her, let him embrace her. Secretly, since their first meeting, he had wished to touch her, let his hands slide over her hair. But he had not dared to hope that it would ever happen. It seemed to him that the sudden fulfillment of this wish had opened a whole new dimension of life to him. 'She becomes my wife. She will be my wife! I will share my life with her.' The words ran like a mantra in an endless loop through his head and he felt as if not blood, but pure adrenaline rushed through his veins. Shortly thereafter, he unlocked the door of his BMW. When he sat down and started the engine, he was tempted to drive the car to the nearest highway to drive its engine out unto its speed limit. That would help him to come down from his adrenaline rush. But no, today he would resist that temptation.

He would have done so before. Jamie had not always been the disciplined, thoughtful acting person he had become in the last fifteen years. There was a time when he had lived aimlessly and recklessly. His father was a respected, even famous lawyer, his family had money. What could happen to him? The world just waited to be explored by him! But the painful experiences that life had allotted for him forced James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser to take time to reflect on his life's path. The first heavy blow that hit him was the unexpected death of his mother Ellen. It was a Sunday just a few days before her 52nd birthday. While the family spent the bright summer afternoon together in the garden of their country estate near Potsdam, Ellen collapsed abruptly next to one of her favorite rose bushes. Jenny, who was setting the table for the afternoon coffee on the terrace, was the first to realize that something was wrong with her mother. She saw her stumble and then fall. Without thinking, Jenny pulled her smartphone out of her pocket and called the emergency call center. Then she called for her father and brother. When her husband appeared on the terrace, she yelled at him to keep the children away from the garden and keep them occupied in the house. Ian did not know what had happened, but he knew his wife well enough to know that her wish would have a good reason. As Jamie and Brian came running into the garden, Jenny was already kneeling beside her mother. But all attempts to help her were in vain. Before the ambulance arrived, they had lost her. Since Ellen had been an otherwise perfectly healthy woman and the emergency doctor didn't find a natural cause of death, he certified an unnatural death. Two policemen came and questioned the family members. Then the corpse was brought by an undertaker to the Brandenburg State Institute of Legal Medicine. There, according to the order of the public prosecutor, the autopsy of the deceased was to be performed. Five days later, the family was informed that Ellen Fraser had died of an (as yet undiscovered) brain aneurysm. Ten days after her sudden death, Ellen Fraser was laid to rest in the Fraser’s Family Mausoleum at the Old Potsdam Cemetery. Although Jamie was already 25 years old at the time, he needed years to process the loss of his beloved mother.

“Cemetry - Potsdam” by PeterBe

But his mother's death had not been the first major loss the family had suffered. Jamie's brother Robert had not completed his first year of life. The doctors diagnosed sudden infant death syndrome as the reason for the sudden demise of the third son of Ellen and Brian Fraser. Jamie, who was still a teenager at that time, tried to outplay the grief he saw and experienced in his parents' life. But in his soul, it all left deep traces. For the first time in his young life, he began to wonder what meaning life could have if it could end anytime. Two years after the loss of his mother, another accident hit the Fraser family. Jamie's brother William, the first born of the family and his great role model, was killed in a car accident. He was only 32 years old. They never came to knew whether it was really the icy road, that caused his car to crash against a tree, or whether William might have chosen that kind of death by himself. Only days before, his fiancée had separated from him. He had met Annabelle a few years earlier in Paris, and for William, she had been the woman of his life. Annabelle's love did not seem to go that far. She did not even appear at William's funeral. After William's death, the family finally hoped to come to rest and for almost three years this wish seemed to come true. Looking back, Jamie was grateful that his family had used every opportunity to spend time together. However, when one morning - he was working on case files in his office - that call from Mr. Schaller reached him, time seemed to stand still. The steward told him that he had found Brian Fraser lifeless in the hall of his mansion. The hurriedly summoned doctor could only determine the death of Jamie's father. The doctors later explained that a severe stroke had affected Brian so badly that he died of it. Everything that happened then, Jamie experienced it like through a dense fog. Brian's funeral. The opening of his father's last will. The assumption of management responsibility at the law firm. He was grateful that at least Jenny was alive. Ned Gowan's help in the professional and business challenges that Brian's death brought upon the last son of the Fraser family had been invaluable. Jamie knew, he probably would not have made it without Ned's help. Brian's death triggered a feeling in Jamie's soul that he could hardly describe. He felt as if his life had come to a point where it could come to an end. He was not tired of life, but in a way, he was fed up with life. Brian Fraser had always been as a big, supporting pillar in the house of his life. He never pushed himself upon his children, but he was always there when they needed him. Jamie always looked forward to working with his father for many more years. Maybe one day he would marry and start a family. He imagined his father playing not only with Jenny's but also with his own children. After Brian's death, this all seemed meaningless to him.

“Preussischer Kavalleriesäbel aus dem 19. Jahrhundert ” by Silar [CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)]

Of course, there was the law firm that had to be run - now by him and Ned. Jamie was not an irresponsible person. He would fulfill his duties. On the day of his father's funeral, the family saber had been handed to him and now hung in a display above a dresser in his bedroom. The first Prussian-born Fraser to carry this weapon had been an ancestor named Simon Frederick William Fraser. This one of his forefathers had fought in the Prussian Wars of Liberation between 1813 and 1815. Since then, the weapon had been handed down from one generation to the next. For over 200 years now, it had been the indelible symbol that generations of Frasers had done their duty and that this was now expected of him. But without the day-to-day meeting with his father, their shared jokes, and the earnest conversation about the development of individual cases, he had lost the joy of his past work. In the morning he arose out of a sense of duty, drove to his office out of duty, read and edited his case files out of duty, went to the court out of duty, defended his clients out of duty and drove home again. Several times he had thought that - had he been born in ancient Greece - he would have made a good Stoic. If there was no other kind of motivation, one had to remember that everyone was responsible for fulfilling his duties. "Happiness" or "becoming happy" could not be a life goal. First, there was no standard for what "happiness" was. Everybody had a different understanding of the word. And second, most of the time what people saw as "happiness" was dependent on external circumstances and therefore always temporary. The fulfillment of duties, however, for Jamie, arose from an inner conviction. Therefore, unlike many others, he did not regard the fulfillment of his duties as a compulsion, but as an integral part of his honor. Of course, there was Jenny, his sister. But Jenny had her own family, her own duties, her own worries. In addition, his sister had changed so much since the death of her father. Their relationship had lost its former easiness. But then he had met Claire and it seemed to him that for the first time in nearly four years, the sun would break through the dark cloud he had been living under. He had instantly fallen in love with her and today he had come one step closer. He would not waste the power that was released in him by this experience in a ride without a speed limit on the highway. He would use this power for more important things. Now it was time to prepare for the "war", to inspect "the weapons" and "the troops".

Jamie drove the car out of the parking lot of the prison and to his house, adjusted to the speed of city traffic. There he let Bismarck take a short trip to the garden and gave the dachshund some petting. Afterward, he put a frozen pasta dish into the microwave and while the machine was humming, he and Bismarck climbed the stairs to the loft. Ten minutes later he rolled a dusty silver suitcase into the kitchen. "We'll clean it when I've eaten," he told Bismarck, putting the food out of the microwave and on a plate. Bismarck jumped on the bench and looked expectantly at Jamie, who had also taken a seat. "No, you will not get anything, you little greedy monster. You'll get some dry food later. " The dog, who had recognized the rebuke in Jamie's eyes, rested his head on the cushion and let out a loud sigh. "Character traits like a frustrated human," Jamie thought but avoided looking at Bismarck. A look out of the eyes of the little black sausage and he would give him a noodle. And of course, it would not stay with one noodle. In the end, the devoured little guy would eat half of the pack and if he returned late at night ... Oh no! In addition, ready meals were unhealthy for animals. All these spices, salts, additives! No! No mercy. Not today, dachshund!

“The look of the dachshund” by Brummeier

When Jamie had finished his meal, he cleaned the suitcase. Then he filled Bismarck's water bowl and poured dry food into the feeding bowl. Wherever Bismarck was at the time, he had heard the sound and had returned to the kitchen, apparently at the speed of lightning. While the dog ate, Jamie stroked his back. Then he put a bovine chew bone in Bismarck's doghouse and left the kitchen. He stowed the suitcase in the trunk of his car and drove it to Claire's apartment. Having arrived at Candestrasse, he carefully opened the door as usual, and when Adso did not appear immediately, he entered the house. He parked the suitcase in the living room and then went to the kitchen. Here he cleaned the cat's feeding bowl. Then he filled the drinking bowl with water, took out a can of cat food, and the moment he put the opener on the can, Adso appeared. This time he did not jump at Jamie but sat down expectantly next to the bowls. "It seems you have learned your lesson, old boy. Well. As a reward, you get a can of 'Chicken Royal'. He filled the contents of the can into the bowl and the cat began to eat immediately. "Enjoy your meal!" Jamie took the door hook from the cleaning cabinet and went to the first floor. There he opened the hatch that led to the loft and slowly pulled down the retractable staircase. When he reached the top of the stairs, he turned on the light and looked around. Then he let out an audible sigh. Nothing had changed. Everything was just as he had left it. Nobody had been here. He walked over to Claire's desk and grabbed all the books that contained personal notes in a large plastic carry bag he had taken from the kitchen. Then he opened the desk drawers and took out everything that looked like personal papers. He also put these documents in the big bag. Finally, he took the laptop with the cable and put it on top of the books and the papers. He then placed the screen behind the leather sofa so that nobody would take notice of it. With a duster that he had also brought from the kitchen, he wiped the dust from the small table and from Claire's desk. There was no longer any sign that there had been a laptop or books in these places. Carefully he went down the stairs. The bag was heavy and he did not want to accidentally drop it. Back on the first floor, he closed the roof hatch and went down to the ground floor with his heavy cargo. There he opened the suitcase and packed the books, papers, and the laptop into it. When he was almost done, he heard a whining sound from the kitchen. He had shot the door behind him and locked it because he did not want the animal to follow him to the loft this time. Jamie went and opened the door. He expected Adso to come out, stroke around his legs and then follow him to one of the sofas. Inwardly, he had already adjusted to the thought that he had to cuddle the cat for at least a quarter of an hour. But Adso shot past him, jumped up the stairs, and then Jamie heard that the animal pushed open the door to the bathroom. Obviously, there was something more important to Adso than being cuddled. Jamie packed the last things into the suitcase and closed it as quietly as possible. He would clean the litter box the next day. Today there were more important things for him too. From Claire’s house, he drove to his office. Once there, he greeted Tessa Lüttgenjohann and asked her to bring him a pot of coffee with two cups. When the secretary arrived at his office shortly thereafter, she carried a tray on which the desired items stood. She set the dishes on the table in the sitting area and Jamie asked her to take a seat. He poured coffee for her and him. As he sat down, he began to tell Tessa about the contents of the silver-colored suitcase. She immediately agreed to keep it safely in the basement of her house. Jamie had not expected otherwise. When he first met Joe Abernathy and his wife Gail, he had wondered if Claire and Joe's relationship resembled the relationship that linked him to Tessa. Professional yet friendly, not too tight and yet trusting. Everyone knew that this relationship would never go any further, but everyone would give the last shirt for the other. Jamie was grateful that he had found someone like Tessa, someone he could trust one hundred percent. Since the death of his father and everything that happened after it, there were not many people he trusted. His colleagues were among them, especially Ned Gowan and Ben Hombach. Tessa Lüttgenjohann and the Schallers. David de Koning and his brother-in-law Ian. Ian was more than a brother-in-law. He was a true friend. Jenny had met him during a stay in Scotland, fell in love with him and convinced him - in her very own way - to marry her. Ian left Scotland for her, and together they lived with their growing band of children at the country estate of the Frasers near Potsdam. By diligence and inventiveness and of course by the knowledge he had acquired in the context of his studies of agriculture, Ian had changed the former run-down farm estate into a flourishing company again. At first, he had started to order the fields and meadows belonging to the estate. Then he created a management plan for the forest, which also belonged to the estate, and leased parts of it. Ian also started a small animal breeding business, which he expanded a little more every year. First, he bought pigs, then cattle and two years ago he started to build a small stud. In the meantime, Ian's work also bore fruit financially. Jamie, who, like his father, Ned Gowan, and several others had supported the project with a generous financial investment at the beginning, received a slightly higher return each year. He used to visit his family in Brandenburg almost every weekend. He loved being outdoors and spending time with his nephews and nieces. It had always been a pleasure to talk to Ian about his latest plans, and about the visible growth and prosperity of family estate. But Jamie had not been there for nearly four years. For almost four years he had not seen Jenny or the children in person. Jamie sent gifts to the children for birthdays and holidays. Jenny and Ian got their gifts too. Of course, he also got gifts and card greetings in return. But the only personal connection he had to them was Ian. Jenny, however, knew nothing about it. Her husband had set up an e-mail address she did not know. Through this account - [email protected] - he communicated with Jamie - [email protected] - and also provided him with current photos of his nieces and nephews. Only now and then was it possible for Ian to come to Berlin. Then he combined business with private affairs and met with his brother-in-law. Although Ian had tried several times, he had failed to persuade Jamie to visit Potsdam. Too deep and too fresh were the wounds Jenny had dug into his soul. Ian wondered if they could ever become the family they once were. After the short coffee break, Tessa reminded Jamie that the next day at 10:30 am, the telephone conference with Prof. Dr. Nerz was scheduled and that she had reserved for him and David de Koning a table at the Ferenc’s for that evening. He had three hours left by that time. However, he should plan at least half an hour of driving time because the traffic news had predicted a traffic jam for the inner city. Just another visit of just another foreign head of state in Berlin. Nothing new. Nothing important. Then Tessa took the tray and turned to go. Jamie thanked her and sat down at his desk.

“Victory column Berlin” by LoboStudioHamburg

He looked out of the large panoramic window towards the Great Star. Twilight had already set in and soon the illumination of the Victory Column would start. Anyone who knew the history of the monument knew that it was not just a monument of a victory after a war. It was a constant reminder of the wrestling of this nation for its liberty and its unity. First in the Liberation Wars against Napoleon from 1813 - 1815, then in the Wars of Unification between 1864 - 1871. For Jamie, it was also a synonym for the resilience with which this country had fought for its reunification the 40 years after World War II. He loved the view from his office because there was something encouraging about the monument. And that encouragement he needed very much. Right now, when he had to prepare a "war" - when it was necessary to "muster" his weapons and his troops.

Thank you for reading. Next time, read “The Murderess from the Grunewald (19): Secret Whitsun Holidays on Rügen (8): Sharing Joy and Sorrow (6)”

So because the bruins/leafs series seems to be a dating game show instead of a playoff hockey series, with the pairs being completely unpredictable if Schaller/Kapanen is anything to go by, I put both teams roster into a random group generator and let it decide which relationships would happen. I took out the four that have already paired off (Marchand, Komarov, Kapanen, and Schaller) and when players were paired up with their own team members i put them back in the generator. I also had to take out some players they were: mcelhinney, nick holden, kevan miller . Here are the results:

Brandon Carlo/Dominic Moore

Andreas Johnsson/Zdeno Chara

Anders Bjork/Freddie Andersen

Tomas Plekanec/Riley Nash

Auston Matthews/Sean Kuraly

JVR/ Anton Khudobin

Charlie McAvoy/Connor Carrick

Mitch Marner/Patrice Bergeron

Ron Hainsey/Matt Grzelcyk

Nikita Zaitsev/Torey Krug

Morgan Rielly/Rick Nash

Tyler Bozak/Tommy Wingels

Danton Heinen/Josh Leivo

William Nylander/Tuukka Rask

Jake Gardiner/David Pastrnak

Day 10,764

Russell B. Aitken Sea Bird Aviary, Bronx Zoo (No. 4)

In the late nineteenth century William Temple Hornaday, then director of the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo), carried out a direct-mail survey of wildlife conditions through the United States, and publicized the decline of birds and mammals in the organization's annual reports. In 1897 Hornaday also hired field researcher Andrew J. Stone to survey the condition of wildlife in the territory of Alaska. On the basis of these studies, Hornaday led the campaign for new laws to protect the wildlife there and the United States as a whole. In 1901, a small herd of American Bison were gathered in a 20-acre meadow just off what is now the Pelham Parkway roadway. Starting in 1905, Hornaday led a national campaign to reintroduce the almost extinct bison to government sponsored refuges. Hornaday, Theodore Roosevelt and others formed the American Bison Society in 1905. The Bronx Zoo sent 15 bison to Wichita Reserve in 1907 and additional bison in later years. The saving of this uniquely American symbol is one of the great success stories in the history of wildlife conservation. Hornaday campaigned for wildlife protection throughout his thirty years as director of the Bronx Zoo. Beginning in 1906, Hornaday featured Ota Benga, a member of the Mbuti from the Congo, in a zoo exhibit. In July 2020, the Wildlife Conservation Society apologized.

William Beebe, the first curator of birds at the Bronx Zoo, began a program of field research soon after the Bronx Zoo opened. His research on wild pheasants took him to Asia from 1908 to 1911 and resulted in a series of books on pheasants. Beebe's field work also resulted in the creation of the Society’s Department of Tropical Research, which Beebe directed from 1922 until his retirement in 1948. Beebe’s research in an undersea vessel called the bathysphere took him half a mile under the ocean floor off Bermuda in 1934 to record for the first time human observations of the bottom of the deep sea. The bathysphere is currently displayed at the New York Aquarium.

The war years marked the arrival of Henry Fairfield Osborn, Jr as NYZS president and Laurance Rockefeller as executive committee chairman. A best selling writer on conservation and son of WCS founder Henry Fairfield Osborn, Osborn soon embraced changes that signaled new thinking in the organization. Guests were allowed to bring their own cameras into the Bronx Zoo, while animals were grouped by continents and ecosystems rather than genetic orders and families, beginning with the African Plains exhibit in 1941.

After World War II, under the leadership of Osborn, the organization extended its programs in field biology and conservation. In 1946 WCS helped found the Jackson Hole Wildlife Park, which became part of Grand Teton National Park in 1962. In the late 1950s WCS began a series of wildlife surveys and projects in Kenya, Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Burma, and the Malay peninsula. In 1959 it sponsored George Schaller’s seminal study of mountain gorillas in Congo. Since that expedition, Schaller has gone on to become the world's preeminent field biologist, studying wildlife throughout Africa, Asia and South America. Conservation activities continued to expand under the leadership of William G. Conway, who became director of the Bronx Zoo in 1962 and President of WCS in 1992. Active as a field biologist in Patagonia, Conway promoted a new vision of zoos as conservation organizations, which cooperated in breeding endangered species. He also designed new types of zoo exhibits aimed at teaching visitors about habitats that support wildlife, and encouraged the expansion of WCS's field programs.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the WCS took a leadership role in pioneering zoological exhibitions by seeking to recreate natural environments for the animals on display. Under the leadership of WCS director William G. Conway, the Bronx Zoo opened its World of Darkness for nocturnal species in 1969 and its World of Birds for avian displays in 1974. Eventually New York City turned to WCS to renew and manage three city-run facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. The redesigned Central Park Zoo opened in 1988, followed by the Queens Zoo in 1992 and the Prospect Park Zoo in 1993. From 1994 through 1996 Archie Carr III of WCS helped establish the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, a reserve for endangered jaguar.

Today WCS is at work on some 500 projects in more than 60 nations around the world that are intended to help protect both wildlife and the wild places in which they live. The organization endeavors to protect 25 percent of the world's biodiversity—from the gorillas of Africa and the tigers of Asia to macaws in South America and the sharks, whales and turtles traveling through the planet's seas. In recent years WCS has actively worked in conflict areas like Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar, where agreements on wildlife resource have contributed to peace and stability. More than 4 million people visit WCS's wildlife parks in New York City each year.

Die Mörderin aus dem Grunewald (18): Kriegsvorbereitungen (1)

“Berlin - Blick zum Brandenburger Tor und zum Roten Rathaus” by Interculture01

Kapitel 17

Jamie verließ das Gefängnis durch den Haupteingang. Dabei meinte er wie auf Wolken zu gehen. Ja, er schien förmlich zu schweben. Obwohl er sich bereits vor zehn Minuten von Claire verabschiedet hatte, hatte er noch immer den Geruch ihrer Haare und ihres Deodorants in der Nase. Er schloss die Augen und wusste, dass er diesen Geruch überall und unter allen Umständen wiedererkennen würde. Sie hatte sich von ihm trösten, ja umarmen lassen. Insgeheim hatte er seit ihrem ersten Zusammentreffen gewünscht, sie zu berühren, seine Hände über ihre Haare gleiten zu lassen. Doch er hatte nicht zu hoffen gewagt, dass das wirklich jemals geschehen würde. Es schien ihm, als habe ihn die plötzliche Erfüllung dieses Wunsches in eine ganz neue Dimension von Leben eröffnet. Sie wird meine Frau. Sie wird meine Frau! Ich werde meine Leben mit ihr teilen. Die Worte liefen wie ein Mantra in Endlosschleife durch seinen Kopf und dabei hatte er das Gefühl, als ob nicht Blut, sondern pures Adrenalin durch seine Adern strömte. Kurz darauf schloss er die Tür seines BMWs auf. Als er sich hineingesetzt und den Motor angelassen hatte, war er versucht, den Wagen auf die nächste Autobahn zu lenken, um ihn dort bis an das Tempolimit auszufahren. Das würde ihm helfen, von seinem Adrenalinhoch wieder herunter zu kommen. Aber nein, heute würde er genau dieser Versuchung widerstehen.

Früher hätte er so gehandelt. Er war nicht immer der disziplinierte, überlegt handelnde Mensch gewesen, zudem er in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren geworden war. Es gab eine Zeit, in der er ziellos und leichtsinnig vor sich hin gelebt hatte. Sein Vater war ein angesehener Anwalt, seine Familie hatte Geld. Was konnte ihm schon passieren? Die Welt stand ihm offen und schien nur auf ihn zu warten. Doch die schmerzhaften Erfahrungen, die das Leben auch für ihn vorgesehen hatte, zwangen James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser sich zu besinnen.

Der erste schwere Schlag, der ihn traf, war der unerwartete Tod seiner Mutter Ellen. Es war ein Sonntag, nur wenige Tage vor ihrem 52. Geburtstag. Während die Familie den strahlenden Sommernachmittag gemeinsam im Garten ihres Landsitzes in der Nähe von Potsdam verbrachte, brach Ellen ganz plötzlich neben einem der von ihr so geliebten Rosenstöcke zusammen. Jenny, die auf der Terrasse gerade den Tisch für das nachmittägliche Kaffeetrinken deckte, war die Erste, die erkannte, dass irgendetwas mit Ellen nicht stimmte. Sie sah ihre Mutter taumeln und dann stürzen. Ohne weiter nachzudenken zog sie ihr Smartphone aus der Hosentasche und wählte den Notruf. Dann rief sie nach ihrem Vater und ihrem Bruder. Als Ian auf der Terrasse erschien, schrie sie ihn an, er solle die Kinder vom Garten fernhalten und sie im Haus beschäftigen. Ian wusste zwar nicht, was geschehen war, aber er kannte seine Frau gut genug, um zu wissen, dass ihr Wunsch einen guten Grund haben würde. Als Jamie und Brian in den Garten gerannt kamen, kniete Jenny bereits neben ihrer Mutter. Doch alle Versuche, ihr zu helfen, waren vergebens. Noch ehe der Notarzt eintraf, hatten sie sie verloren. Da es sich bei Ellen um eine ansonsten vollkommen gesunde Frau gehandelt hatte und der Notarzt keine natürliche Todesursache feststellen konnte, bescheinigte er einen unnatürlichen Tod. Zwei Polizisten kamen und befragten die Familienangehörigen. Dann wurde der Leichnam von einem Bestatter zum Brandenburgischen Landesinstitut für Rechtsmedizin gebracht. Dort sollte gemäß einer Verfügung der Staatsanwaltschaft die Obduktion der Verstorbenen vorgenommen werden. Fünf Tage später wurde die Familie darüber informiert, dass Ellen Fraser an einem bisher unentdeckten Hirnaneurysma verstorben war. Zehn Tage nach ihrem plötzlichen Tod wurde sie im Familiengrab der Frasers auf dem Alten Potsdamer Friedhof zur letzten Ruhe gebettet. Obwohl Jamie zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits 25 Jahre alt war, brauchte er anschließend Jahre, um das Geschehen zu verarbeiten.

“Friedhof - Potsdam” by PeterBe

Doch der Tod seiner Mutter war nicht der erste schwere Verlust gewesen, den die Familie zu erleiden hatte. Jamies Bruder Robert hatte das erste Lebensjahr nicht vollendet. Die Ärzte diagnostizierten plötzlichen Kindstod als Grund für das Ableben des dritten Sohnes von Ellen und Brian Fraser. Jamie, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch ein Teenager war, versuchte der Trauer, die er im Leben seiner Eltern sah und erlebte, zu überspielen. Doch auch in seiner Seele hinterließ sie Spuren. Zum ersten mal in seinem jungen Dasein begann er sich zu fragen, welchen Sinn dieses Leben haben sollte, wenn es doch jederzeit enden konnte. Zwei Jahre nach dem Verlust seiner Mutter traf ein weiteres Unglück die Familie Fraser. Jamies Bruder William, der Erstgeborene der Familie und sein großes Vorbild, verunglückte bei einem Autounfall. Er wurde nur 32 Jahre alt. Sie erfuhren nie, ob es wirklich an der glatten Fahrbahn lag, dass sein Auto gegen einen Baum prallte oder ob William diesen Tod vielleicht doch selbst gewählt hatte. Nur wenige Tage zuvor hatte sich seine Verlobte von ihm getrennt. Er hatte Annabelle einige Jahre zuvor in Paris kennengelernt und für William war sie die Frau seines Lebens gewesen. Annabelles Liebe hingegen schien nicht so weit zu gehen. Sie erschien noch nicht einmal zu Williams Beisetzung. Nach Williams Tod hoffte die Familie nun endlich zur Ruhe zu kommen und für fast drei Jahre schien dieser Wunsch auch in Erfüllung zu gehen. Im Rückblick war Jamie dankbar, dass die Familie jede Möglichkeit genutzt hatte, um Zeit miteinander zu verbringen. Als ihn dann jedoch eines Morgens - er bearbeitete gerade Fallakten in seinem Büro - jener Anruf von Herrn Schaller erreichte, schien die Zeit für ihn still zustehen. Der Verwalter teilte ihm mit, dass er Brian Fraser leblos in dessen Villa aufgefunden hatte. Der eilig herbei gerufene Arzt konnte nur noch den Tod des geliebten Vaters feststellen. Die Ärzte sprachen von einem schweren Schlaganfall, der Brian so beeinträchtigt hatte, dass er daran verstorben war. Alles, was dann geschah, erlebte Jamie wie durch einen dichten Nebel. Brians Beisetzung. Die Eröffnung des Testaments. Die Übernahme der Leitungsverantwortung in der Kanzlei. Er war dankbar, dass ihm wenigstens Jenny noch geblieben war. Ned Gowans Hilfe in den beruflichen und geschäftlichen Herausforderungen, die Brians Tod mit sich brachten, war unschätzbar gewesen. Jamie war sich bewusst, dass er diese erste Zeit ohne Neds Hilfe wahrscheinlich nicht geschafft hätte. Brians Tod löste in Jamies Seele ein Gefühl aus, dass er nur schwer hätte beschreiben können. Ihm war, als wäre sein Leben jetzt an einen Punkt gekommen, an dem es auch zu Ende gehen konnte. Er war nicht lebensmüde, aber er hatte in einer gewissen Weise das Leben satt. Brian Fraser war für ihn immer wie eine große, tragende Säule im Haus seines Lebens gewesen. Nie drängte er sich auf, aber er war immer da, wenn man ihn brauchte. Jamie hatte sich darauf gefreut, noch viele Jahre mit seinem Vater zusammen zu arbeiten. Vielleicht würde er eines Tages heiraten und eine Familie gründen. Vor seinem inneren Auge sah er seinen Vater nicht nur mit Jennys, sondern auch mit seinen eigenen Kindern spielen. Das alles erschien ihm nun nach Brians Tod irgendwie sinnlos.

“Preussischer Kavalleriesäbel aus dem 19. Jahrhundert ” by Silar [CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0)]

Natürlich, da war die Kanzlei, die es weiterzuführen galt. Er war kein verantwortungsloser Mensch. Er würde seinen Pflichten nachkommen. Am Tag der Beerdigung seines Vaters hatte man ihm den Familiensäbel überreicht, der nun in einem Display über einer Kommode seines Schlafzimmers hing. Der erste in Preussen lebende Fraser, der diese Waffe getragen hatte, war ein Vorfahr namens Simon Fraser gewesen. Dieser hatte damit in den Preussischen Befreiungskriegen zwischen 1813 und 1815 gekämpft hatte. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt war die Waffe von einer Generation an die nächste weitergegeben worden. Seit über 200 Jahren war sie das unauslöschliche Symbol dafür, dass Generationen von Frasers sich ihren Pflichten gestellt hatten und dass dies nun auch von ihm erwartet wurde. Aber ohne die alltägliche Begegnung mit seinem Vater, ihre gemeinsamen Witzeleien und die ernsten Gespräche über die Entwicklung einzelner Fälle - hatte er die Freude, mit der er seiner Arbeit in der Vergangenheit nachgegangen war, verloren. Morgens stand er aus Pflichtgefühl auf, fuhr aus Pflichtgefühl in sein Büro, las und bearbeitete seine Akten aus Pflichtgefühl, ging zum Gericht aus Pflichtgefühl, verteidigte seine Mandanten aus Pflichtgefühl und fuhr wieder nach Hause. Mehrmals hatte er gedacht, dass er, wäre er im alten Griechenland geboren worden, auch einen guten Stoiker abgeben hätte. Wenn jede andere Art der Motivation fehlte, musste man sich darauf besinnen, dass der Mensch in der Verantwortung stand, seine Pflichten zu erfüllen. “Glück” oder “glücklich werden” konnte kein Lebensziel sein. Denn zum einen gab es keinen verbindlichen Maßstab dafür, was “Glück” war. Jeder Mensch verstand darunter etwas anderes. Und meistens war das, was Menschen als “Glück” ansahen, von äußeren Umständen abhängig und daher immer nur temporärer Natur. Die Erfüllung von Pflichten hingegen, entsprang für Jamie aus einer inneren Überzeugung. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen, betrachtete er daher die Erfüllung seiner Pflichten auch nicht als Zwang, sondern als integralen Bestandteil seiner Ehre. Natürlich, da war Jenny, seine Schwester. Aber Jenny hatte ihre eigene Familie, ihre eigen Pflichten, ihre eigenen Sorgen. Hinzu kam, dass seine Schwester sich seit dem Tod des Vaters sehr verändert hatte. Die Leichtigkeit war aus ihrer geschwisterlichen Beziehung gewichen.

Doch dann war er Claire begegnet und es schien ihm, als würde zum ersten Mal nach fast vier Jahren die Sonne jene dichte Nebeldecke durchbrechen, unter der er bisher gelebt hatte. Er hatte sich sofort in sie verliebt und heute war er ihr einen Schritt näher gekommen. Die Kraft, die dieses Erlebnis in ihm freigesetzt hatte, würde er nicht in einer Fahrt ohne Tempolimit auf der Autobahn vergeuden. Diese Kraft würde er für Wichtigeres nutzen. Jetzt galt es, Vorbereitungen für den Krieg zu treffen, die Waffen und die Truppen zu mustern.

Jamie lenkte den Wagen vom Parkplatz des Gefängnisses und fuhr, den Geschwindigkeiten des Stadtverkehrs angepasst, zu seinem Haus. Dort ließ er Bismarck einen kurzen Ausflug in den Garten machen und verpasste dem Dackel einige Streicheleinheiten. Dann stellte er ein gefrorenes Pastagericht in die Mikrowelle und während das Gerät vor sich hin summte, stieg er gemeinsam mit Bismarck die Treppen bis zum Dachboden hinauf. Zehn Minuten später rollte er einen verstaubten silberfarbenen Koffer in die Küche.

“Den machen wir sauber, wenn ich gegessen habe,” sagte er an Bismarck gerichtet und setzte das Essen aus der Mikrowelle auf einen Teller, den er auf den Tisch stellte. Bismarck sprang auf die Eckbank und sah erwartungsvoll zu Jamie auf, der ebenfalls Platz genommen hatte.

“Nein, davon bekommst Du nichts, Du kleines gieriges Monster. Du bekommst später noch ein bisschen Trockenfutter.”

Der Hund, der die Zurechtweisung in Jamies Blick genau erkannt hatte, legte seinen Kopf auf das Sitzkissen der Bank und ließ einen lauten Seufzer vernehmen.

“Charakterzüge wie ein frustrierter Mensch,” dachte Jamie, vermied es aber Bismarck anzusehen. Ein Blick aus den Augen der kleinen, schwarzen Wurst und er würde ihm doch wieder eine Nudel geben. Und bei einer Nudel würde es natürlich nicht bleiben. Am Ende würde der verfressene kleine Kerl die Hälfte der Packung vertilgen und wenn er spät abends zurückkehren würde … Nein! Außerdem waren Fertiggericht für Tiere ungesund. All’ diese Gewürze, Salze, Zusatzstoffe! Nein! Punkt! Keine Gnade. Nur Recht.

“Dackelblick” by Brummeier

Als Jamie aufgegessen hatte, säuberte er den Rollkoffer. Dann füllte er Bismarcks Wassernapf und schüttete Trockenfutter in den Freßnapf. Wo immer Bismarck zu diesem Zeitpunkt war, er hatte das Geräusch gehört und war - anscheinend mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit - in die Küche zurückgekehrt. Während der Hund fraß, streichelte Jamie ihm über den Rücken. Dann legte er einen Kauknochen aus Rinderhaut in Bismarcks Hundehütte und verließ die Küche. Er verstaute den Rollkoffer im Kofferraum des Wagens und fuhr er zu Claires Wohnung.

In der Candestraße angekommen, öffnete er wie immer vorsichtig die Tür und als Adso nicht sofort erschien, betrat er das Haus. Er stellte den Rollkoffer im Wohnzimmer ab und ging dann in die Küche. Hier säuberte er den Freßnapf der Katze. Dann füllte er die Trinkschale mit Wasser, holte eine Dose Katzenfutter heraus und in dem Moment, in dem er den Öffner an der Dose ansetzte, erschien Adso. Diesmal sprang er Jamie jedoch nicht an, sondern setzte sich erwartungsvoll neben den Fressnapf.

“Es scheint, dass Du Deine Lektion gelernt hast, alter Junge. Gut. Zur Belohnung gibt es dafür auch eine Dose ‘Hühnchen Royal’’.

Er füllte den Inhalt der Dose in den Napf und die Katze begann sofort zu fressen.

“Lass’ es Dir schmecken!”

Jamie nahm den Türhaken aus dem Putzschrank und ging in den ersten Stock. Dort öffnete er die Luke, die zum Dachboden führte und zog langsam die ausziehbare Treppe herunter. Als er das obere Ende der Treppe erreicht hatte, schaltete er das Licht ein und sah sich um. Dann atmete er beruhigt aus. Nichts war verändert. Alles war noch so, wie er es verlassen hatte. Niemand war hier gewesen. Er ging zu Claires Schreibtisch und packte alle Bücher, die persönliche Notizen enthielten in eine große Plastiktragetasche, die er aus der Küche mitgenommen hatte. Dann öffnete er die Schreibtischschubladen und nahm alles, was nach persönlichen Papieren aussah, heraus. Diese Unterlagen legte er ebenfalls in die große Tüte. Zum Schluss nahm er noch den Laptop samt Kabel und packte auch diesen ein. Anschließend stellte er den Bildschirm so hinter das Ledersofa, dass er dort nicht auffiel. Mit einem Staubtuch, das er ebenfalls aus der Küche mitgebracht hatte, wischte er den Staub von dem kleinen Tisch und von Claires Schreibtisch. Nun deutete nichts mehr darauf hin, dass dort einmal ein Laptop oder Bücher gestanden hatten. Vorsichtig stieg er die Treppe hinunter. Die Tüte war schwer und er wollte sie nicht versehentlich fallen lassen. Wieder im ersten Stock angekommen, schloss er die Dachluke und begab sich mit seiner schweren Fracht ins Erdgeschoss. Dort öffnete er den Koffer und packte die Bücher, Papiere und den Laptop hinein. Als er damit fast fertig war, hörte er weinerliches Miauen aus der Küche. Er hatte die Tür hinter sich geschossen und den Kater in der Küche eingesperrt, weil er nicht wollte, dass das Tier ihm diesmal auf den Dachboden folgte. Jamie ging und öffnete die Tür. Er erwartete, dass Adso ihm um die Beine streichen und ihm dann zu einem der Sofas folgen würde. Innerlich hatte er sich bereits darauf eingestellt, dass jetzt eine Viertelstunde Katzenkraulen angesagt war. Doch der Kater schoss an ihm vorbei, sprang die Treppe hinauf und dann hörte Jamie, wie das Tier die Tür zum Badezimmer aufstieß. Ganz offensichtlich gab es für Adso Wichtigeres als gekrault zu werden. Jamie packte die letzten Dinge in den Koffer und schloss ihn so leise wie möglich. Das Katzenklo würde er am nächsten Tag reinigen. Heute gab es auch für ihn Wichtigeres.

Von der Candestraße fuhr er zu seinem Büro. Dort angekommen begrüßte er Tessa Lüttgenjohann und bat sie, ihm eine Kanne Kaffee mit zwei Tassen zu bringen. Als eine Sekretärin kurz darauf in seinem Büro eintraf, trug sie ein Tablett, auf dem das Gewünschte stand. Sie stellte das Geschirr auf den Tisch im Sitzbereich des Zimmers und Jamie bat sie, Platz zu nehmen. Er goss für sie ihn und Kaffee ein. Als er sich gesetzt hatte, begann er Tessa vom Inhalt des silberfarbenen Rollkoffers zu erzählen. Sie erklärte sich sofort bereit, den Koffer im Keller ihres Hauses sicher zu verwahren. Jamie hatte es nicht anders erwartet. Als er Joe Abernathy und seine Frau Gail kennengelernt hatte, hatte er sich gefragt, ob Claire und Joes Beziehung wohl jener Beziehung ähnelte, die ihn mit Tessa verband. Professionell und dennoch freundschaftlich, nicht zu eng und dennoch vertrauensvoll. Jeder wusste, dass aus dieser Beziehung nie mehr werden würde, aber jeder würde für den anderen das letzte Hemd geben. Jamie war dankbar, dass er in Tessa einen Menschen gefunden hatte, dem er hundertprozentig vertrauen konnte. Seit dem Tod seines Vaters und allem, was danach geschehen war, gab es nicht mehr sehr viele Menschen, denen er vertraute. Seine Kollegen gehörten dazu, insbesondere Ned Gowan und Ben Hombach. Tessa Lüttgenjohann und das Ehepaar Schaller. David de Koning und sein Schwager Ian. Ja, Ian war mehr als ein Schwager. Er war ein echter Freund. Jenny hatte ihn während eines Aufenthaltes in Schottland kennengelernt, sich in ihn verliebt und ihn - auf ihre ganz eigene Art - überzeugt, sie zu heiraten. Für sie hatte Ian Schottland verlassen und gemeinsam lebten sie mit ihrer wachsenden Kinderschar auf dem Landsitz der Frasers in der Nähe von Potsdam. Durch Fleiß und Ideenreichtum und natürlich durch die Kenntnisse, die er im Rahmen sein Studiums der Agrarwirtschaft erworben hatte, hatte Ian aus dem zu DDR-Zeiten heruntergewirtschafteten Landgut wieder ein florierendes Unternehmen gemacht. Zuerst hatte er damit begonnen, die zum Gut gehörenden Felder und Wiesen zu bestellen. Anschließend hatte er für das Waldstück, das ebenfalls zum Gut gehörte, einen Bewirtschaftungsplan erstellt und Teile davon verpachtet. Außerdem begann Ian mit einer kleinen Tierzucht, die er jedes Jahr ein wenig mehr ausweitete. Zuerst schaffte er Schweine an, dann Rinder und vor zwei Jahren hatte er damit begonnen, ein Gestüt aufzubauen. Zwischenzeitlich trug Ians Arbeit auch finanziell Früchte. Jamie, der, wie sein Vater, Ned Gowan und einige andere, das Projekt in der Anfangszeit mit einer großzügigen finanziellen Investition unterstützt hatte, erhielt jedes Jahr eine etwas höhere Rendite. Früher war er fast an jedem Wochenende hinausgefahren und hatte seine Familie besucht. Er liebte es, in der freien Natur zu sein und mit seinen Neffen und Nichten Zeit zu verbringen. Es war für ihn immer eine Freude, wenn er mit Ian über dessen neueste Pläne sprechen konnte und nicht zuletzt ermutigte ihn das sichtbare Wachstum und Gedeihen des Familienbesitzes. Doch seit fast vier Jahren war Jamie nicht mehr dort gewesen. Seit fast vier Jahren hatte er weder Jenny noch die Kinder persönlich gesehen. Jamie schickte den Kindern Geschenke zu den Geburtstagen und zu den Feiertagen. Auch Jenny und Ian bedachte er. Natürlich rhielt auch er im Gegenzug Geschenksendungen und Kartengrüße. Aber seine einzige persönliche Verbindung zu ihnen war Ian. Jenny wusste davon jedoch nichts. Ihr Ehemann hatte sich eine E-Mailadresse eingerichtet, die sie nicht kannte. Über diesen Account - [email protected] - kommunizierte er mit Jamie - [email protected] - und versorgte ihn auch mit aktuellen Fotos seiner Nichten und Neffen. Nur hin- und wieder war es Ian möglich, nach Berlin zu kommen. Dann verband er das Geschäftliche mit dem Privaten und traf sich mit seinem Schwager. Obwohl Ian es mehrfach versucht hatte, war es ihm nicht gelungen, Jamie zu einem Besuch in Potsdam zu bewegen. Zu tief und zu frisch waren die Wunden, die Jenny Jamies Seele zugefügt hatte. Und Ian fragte sich, ob sie jemals wieder die Familie werden konnten, die sie einmal gewesen waren.

Nach der kurzen Kaffeepause erinnerte Tessa Jamie daran, dass am nächsten Tag um 10.30 Uhr die Telefonkonferenz mit Prof. Dr. Nerz angesetzt war und dass sie für ihn und David de Koning an diesem Abend einen Tisch im Ferenc reserviert hatte. Bis zu diesem Termin hatte er noch drei Stunden Zeit. Er sollte jedoch mindestens eine halbe Stunde Fahrzeit einplanen, denn die Verkehrsnachrichten hatten wegen des Besuchs eines ausländischen Staatsoberhauptes Stau im Berliner Stadtverkehr angekündigt. Dann nahm sie das Tablett und wandte sich zum gehen. Jamie dankte ihr und setzte sich wieder an seinen Schreibtisch.

“Siegessäule Berlin” by LoboStudioHamburg

Er sah aus dem großen Panoramafenster in Richtung des Großen Sterns. Die Abenddämmerung hatte bereits eingesetzt und in Kürze würde sich die Beleuchtung der Siegessäule einschalten. Wer die Geschichte des Denkmals kannte, der wusste, dass es sich nicht nur um ein Monument des Sieges nach einem Krieg handelte. Es war eine fortwährende Erinnerung an das Ringen dieses Land um seine Einheit. Erst in den Befreiungskriegen gegen Napoleon von 1813 - 1815, dann in den Einigungskriegen zwischen 1864 - 1871. Für Jamie war es auch ein Synonym für die Resilienz, mit der dieses Land 40 Jahre nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg seine Wiedervereinigung betrieben hatte. Er liebte diesen Anblick, denn er hatte etwas Ermutigendes an sich. Und Ermutigung konnte er gut gebrauchen. Gerade jetzt, wo er einen “Krieg” vorzubereiten hatte, wo es galt seine Waffen und seine Truppen zu “mustern”.
