A Most Wanted Man 5

Annabel is visited by two member of the protectors office. They have begun actively asking after Issa. No longer trying to hide it. But Bachman will still try and get his hands on Issa another way. Herr Werner and Herr Dinkelberg visit Annabel and ask some pointed questions. Accusing Issa of being a terrorist and accusing Annabel of helping him, even guiding him to his "Terrorist paymaster"(176). The German protectors are still convinced that Issa ia a terrorist there to attack a target. But Annabel and her boss at Sanctuary North believe otherwise. After the meeting with the protectors her boss Ursula tells her she better hurry up. Annabel works up a plan to send Issa to a clinic outside Hamburg with the money Brue gave her. It will successfully hide Issa and also see if there really is anything mentally wrong with him. Bahcman however intervenes "You get quietly into the car, the second woman explained, her lip in Annabel's ear. You sit in the backseat center, please no fuss everything friendly and normal"(183). Bachman has decided that if he can't get to Issa he'll flip Annabel and get to Issa convincing her its the best for both of them. And it probably is. The protectors are in this investigation for a high profile arrest, something to make them look good in front of the international community but Bachman is there for the facts and the fact is that Issa is not a terrorist. He wants to live quietly as a doctor helping people and practicing a non-violent cersion of his religion.
