The man with no name or memory went to the window and lowered the blind; the room was dark. Washburn snapped on the projector’s light; a bright square appeared on the white wall. He then inserted a small piece of celluloid behind the lens.

  The square was abruptly filled with magnified letters.

  GEMEINSCHAFT BANK

  BAHNHOFSTRASSE. ZURICH.

  ZERO—SEVEN—SEVENTEEN—TWELVE—ZERO—

  FOURTEEN—TWENTY-SIX—ZERO

  “What is it?” asked the nameless man.

  “Look at it. Study it. Think.”

  “It’s a bank account of some kind.”

  “Exactly. The printed letterhead and address is the bank, the handwritten numbers take the place of a name, but insofar as they are written out, they constitute the signature of the account holder. Standard procedure.”

  “Where did you get it?”

  “From you. This is a very small negative, my guess would be half the size of a thirty-five millimeter film. It was implanted—surgically implanted—bneeath the skin above your right hip. The numbers are in your handwriting; it’s your signature. With it you can open a vault in Zurich.”
