After receiving this news, James stared at the man once again. He thought to himself, "Who the hell was I just talking to then? Oh well, I am sure this man can relay the information if needed." James scrawled on a bit of paper he had in his pocket. He continued talking to the still intensely staring man.
"I apologize sir. I see that I have entered the wrong room and wasted your precious time. If you could tell the commissar my story when he returns I would appreciate it. If you cannot be bothered, however, this is where I am staying. I will be there for as long as I am welcome. Someday I hope to meet you again as a brother."
James placed the piece of paper on the man's desk. He gave a quick salute and exited the room.
