I did n't think I could ever escape that man waiting for me below -- not even for an instant ... To-morrow , at this time , I may be dead ... or worse . '' `` Dead ? '' `` To-morrow , at noon , I 'm scheduled to blow up Axel Hilmer ... There will be five others in the party ... my wife and his among them . '' Her body was rigid ... only her lips moved . `` You are going to do it ? '' `` No . ''
