With one hand on the knot and the vine tied to the tree, Tan-ha untied the man's torso while leaving his hands tied. He loosened the vine around the man's neck, the three started walking. In thirty Hansa minutes they were at a gate. Tan-ha whispered, "Which gate do customers enter? Show me." The man walked down the fence to the right to an unguarded gate in the fence. The three entered in single file. Cooly walked up to a small window. The words "Five marks" came from a voice behind the window. Tan-ha placed a silver bar in the open slot. The voice said, "Your change will be here when you leave." Gertrude assumed the lead. The three walked on approaching a central building. Gertrude pointed to the left door. The building was long, low, and maybe fifteen meters wide with two doors. Gertrude entered the left door. The Georgian's heavy boots thumped down a long corridor to stop in front of a curtain Gertrude indicated.A plaintive voice cried out, "Leave me alone, goddammit." It was Elise. Tan-ha pushed Cooly inside the room. Elise was on her right side on a bed. It smelled to the Princess. He kicked the man to his knees to tie his neck to the bed frame. "Squeal man and you are dead."Tan-ha picked up Elise to place her on the floor. She was naked in the fifteen degree room, there were no clothes evident. Her pale skin reflected the moonlight through the cracks in the walls. He could see her fear. Tan-ha stripped the man of tunic, trousers, and boots. He then tied the man face down on the bed with Gertrude holding the vine on his neck while he tied the man's hands and feet to the bed frame, spread-eagled upside down. Tan-ha growled, "Open your mouth." The man shook his head. Tan-ha stuck the man in his right buttock with the blade of his flip knife. When the man opened his mouth to scream Tan-ha forced the small, filthy, pillow inside his teeth. The resulting sound Cooly made resembled a woman being sexually assaulted. Tan-ha placed two silver bars on the pillow by the man's nose and near his watering eyes.When Tan-ha turned around he was startled to see Elise dressed in the man's clothes and standing. Gertrude was scared, shaking while holding Elise up from behind with her arms around Elise's chest.
