Midwinterblood Part 3, Chapter 3 Summary

  • The man tells the airman to wait. He's gone quite a while and the airman briefly considers trying to escape, but there's nowhere he can go with a broken ankle.
  • The man returns with his son. They've made a stretcher, and they hoist the airman onto it and carry him back to their farmhouse.
  • As they arrive, a woman rushes out and tells them to move quickly; inside, they set the airman in an armchair.
  • He introduces himself as Flight Lieutenant D. Thompson, 331st Fighter Squadron. Very impressive. They can call him David.
  • The man introduces his wife, Rebecka, and his son, Benjamin. His name is Erik. Because of course it is.
