After a few minutes re-preparing his uniform Eckhart made his way back to the party. His dealings with Marie had sufficiently pissed off General Straab to the point that Eckhart liked. He passed the steaming general without so much as a second glance. His power was much more than Straab could ever have and maintain. As he re-entered the room Eckhart noticed that Marie was no where to be found, if she had left a guard would have informed her. Eckhart's inner paranoia began to flare up. She could be doing any number of things.<em>'Contacting the resistance? Discussing details of my order with other officers?? Wait, maybe she is just in the washroom...'</em>Thought Eckhart as he rounded a corner approaching the women's restroom. He wouldn't dare enter without knowing no one was in there, but he knew people would have to come out eventually.<br/><br/>He waited by a nearby column and waited for the inevitable opening of the door. Several guards became nervous as Eckhart's demeanor changed suddenly from happy and cordial to quiet and plotting. He didn't know what was going on, but he had a fishy feeling about all of it.
