"No thanks. I think I will read instead."
I pull out a book and start reading. I don't like cards, though playing poker with Sakari might be mildly entertaining.

"The two of us can play. But watch out, I play a mean Crazy 8." Heikki says as a joke, but it just comes out sounding odd. He bites his lip and shakes his head in embarassment. "My mother taught me how to play Crazy 8s. It's the only card game I know how to play." Heikki says, changing the topic.

"Of course. Nobody will be forced to stay here if they don't like how this country is governed or run." Frederick replies, then smiles cordially.
"And as I'm sure you're aware of, we won't be attending the next United Nations meeting."

"My main concern is America's interests. The UN is sure to pass a strict sounding resolution though." Vance says as a bit of a joke. He looks at the time.
"Well then, that is all for now. We will continue trade and diplomatic relations for the time being. It is our position to remain neutral about Germany at the present, since you were elected fairly and, but for some minor human rights concerns, we see no reason to at this time take any measures against your government. Good day, sir." Vance shakes Rommel's hand again and leaves, feeling good about the meeting. The United States will keep an eye on Germany, but for now, will do nothing.
He meets his driver and is taken to his hotel. He has other meetings this week, but the most important is over.

"Well there has to be another political group that doesn't like the idea of that bastard in office. Why dont we find out who they are and contact them and see what they are going to do. Maybe it can be a joint effort." Nea folds her arms over her chest as she tries to run idea through her head. She doesn't like seeing Antero like this, she wants to comfort him in both ways but she only allows one. She feels he would be uncomfortable if she tried to comfort him like that. "Maybe the socialists. I can talke to Linnea and Garret."

Linnea looks up and smiles at Garret, she likes to think she is useful to him and she loves the time she can spend with him. "Sure I'll help you out. I dont actually remember if he speaks english or not."

"Yeah, that's a good idea Nea. Let's get out of the apartment. I need to go for a walk anway." Antero says, still fuming about the situation. "Thanks for putting up with me. But sometimes I just get so mad. I can't believe that the German people are so stupid that they would elect a f.. nazi." He doesn't mean this, but the were elected and it does make him angry.

"Cool, let's head out then." Garret puts on a long sleaved shirt and heads out the door with Linnea. They head to the branch office and Garret looks around to see if Niilo is in.

Nea smiles. "I dont just put up with you. I enjoy being around you." She spoke the truth, she couldn't say anything else to him. So she got up from the chair and followed Antero out of the apartment. "Well why dont we head over to the studio to see if Linnea is there."

Niilo happened to be in the office when Garret and Linnea stopped by. He knew Linnea right away since her gallery is the most popular in Helsinki and because she is an active democratic socialist. "Hello Linnea. It is nice to finally meet you. I have visited your gallery on many occaisions." Niilo says to her. He looks at Garret and smiles pleasanly.

Antero and Nea walk the short distance to Linnea's gallery, but when they arrive there, it appears that Linnea is out. "That's too bad. I guess we can just hang out here until she gets back." Antero suggests. He takes a seat in an artsy silver and red chair.

Garret is impressed that everyone in the city seems to know Linnea. It is cool hanging out with her, since she is so well liked. He decides to let Niilo and Linnea talk before he talks to Niilo about politics. That would just bore Linnea anyway.

"Right on." Sakari says, as they play their game. Heikki ends up schooling Sakari in the first game, though Sakari's not a sore loser.
"Ah good game Heikki." I say, smiling, though feeling a little sore about losing as badly as I did...

Ever since Heikki left, Zivon has ignored me. So, I go back to Ernie's pub to drink away my woes.
Whatever happened to Ernie? Where'd he go? Did he forget me again? I ask as I lean over the counter. I spill my drink on myself.
I don't think Ernie ever cared that I came here. He doesn't even know my name.
Well that's okay, I don't need ya either Ernie!

"And a good day to you as well." Rommel replies, as Mr. Ashland sees himself out. Frederick decides to take this opportunity to walk around the Reichstag and see the rooms he hasn't seen yet, and maybe even finally talk to Christian.
