Soon Brue was called by Frau Richter to meet Issa. They met at Melik and Leyla's house. Having to be very secretive in how they approached. Le Carre foreshadows some later events when he says Brue noticed two older women and a yellows truck. These will turn out to be plain clothes protectors, or german federal police. Brue agrees to help however he can but urges that Issa must make a formal claim to the money for him to turn it over. Issa is hesitant to as he sees taking his father's dirty money as being un-Muslim. Brue and Frau Richter leave the meeting with the issue unresolved but Brue does lend 50000 euros to Frau Richter should she need to support Issa in secret, it is becoming dangerous to keep him at Leyla and Melik's much longer. Another development with Bachman. He is called to a special meeting by a Herr Arnold Mohr, a member of the protectors. Also invited are several other very high ranking protectors and members of various other agencies including representatives of MI-6 and the CIA. Mohr reveals that, going against Bachman's wishes, he has put Melik and Leyla's house under surveilance. Bachman is furious. Mohr thinks Issa is in Germany to plant a bomb or attack some target. But Bachman thinks he is an idiot who has way over read the situation and may now ruin Bachman's chances of flipping Issa as a live source.
