She barely got the word out before the pain hit her again. The shock was longer and more powerful than before. Elizabeth felt like every cell between her legs was exploding. Her back arched with her hips in the air and her whole body shacking. If someone had seen her, without knowing the circumstances, they might have thought she was vigorously engaged in passionate sex with an invisible lover. That is, if they could not hear her continuous, guttural, animalistic scream. Suddenly, the power was cut and her buttocks thudded back onto the table. She lay, gasping for air and soaked in sweat as Kreuzer leaned in over her.
“Well, schatzi?”
“There’s an engineer. He’s working on radar in a lab in Prague.” Elizabeth spoke quickly, before they could shock her again. “He is willing to provide information on the newest German radar, but only if we can get him and his family to safety. I was sent to arrange it.”
“Who is this engineer?”
“I don’t know.” This statement was immediately followed by another jolt of electricity. It was a short jolt, intended to goad her into providing information.
“I wasn’t told!” Elizabeth shouted, “If I knew his name I might give it up if I broke under torture so I wasn’t told.”
“But,” Kreuzer asked, “If you don’t know who he is, how are you to make contact with him.”
“I am to wait in front of Saint Nicholas Church every day, from the 17th to the 19th between noon and 3. A man will approach me wearing a green bow tie. He will ask me if I know the time. I’ll tell him that my watch is broken and he will tell me he knows a good repair shop on Nerodova Street. I will tell him I only have two Marks and he will say that’s enough. He will then take me to meet the engineer.”
“And who is this man?”
“I don’t know...I wasn’t told!”, Elizabeth shouted before they could shock her again, “I only know his code name is Seagull. For all I know it could be that tailor.”
“And how is he supposed to recognize you?”
“I am to be wearing my blue beret.”
Kreuzer took hold of Elizabeth’s face and looked into her eyes, “Why would they send you on this mission?”
“I studied electronics at university before joining the SOE. The engineer was going to show a sample of the documents he’s going to turn over. I have the technical knowledge to be able to tell if they’re legitimate. Plus, I lived in Prague as a child, while my father was assigned here on business, so I speak the language and know the city.”
“I see. And how were you going to get him out of the country?”
“Seagull’s people were going to help. I would escort him and his wife and children to Bergenz, in Austria, where our agents are waiting to get us all into Switzerland.”
Kreuzer stared into Elizabeth’s eyes intently. Perhaps she was weighing Elizabeth’s words and looking for some sign of falsehood in her face. Then, she turned and walked toward the back of the room. Elizabeth could hear her speaking to the man back there and him replying, but other than the occasional ja, jawohl and nein from the man, she could not make out the words. Then she heard the chair scrape on the floor, a pair of heels click, and the man walked past her. She noticed he was carrying a pad of paper and realized he must have been there to write down her responses.
Kreuzer returned and, with a surprising gentleness, removed the electrical clips from Elizabeth’s aching pudenda. She then began rubbing the injured organ. Elizabeth could not stop her body from responding to the stimulation. As her body quivered, she squeezed her eyes shut and tried to fight this humiliating arousal. Tears began to trickle from the corners of her eyes.
kreuzer stroked her hair with her free hand and leaned in close. “You did well, liebchen,” she purred, “You held out longer than most men. London can be proud of you. But, everyone breaks, eventually.”
She kissed Elizabeth on the forehead and stopped her stroking.
“We’ll be keeping you here for a while,” said Kreuzer, as she wiped Elizabeth’s juices from her hands on a handkerchief, “In case we have more questions for you. But, for now, you can get some rest.”
Elizabeth lay weeping, her body still trembling, as she listened to Kreuzer leave and felt Fritz and the guard untying her.
