A most wanted man 110-164

The mysterious man who showed up at their house is named Issa. He won't tell them his last name, saying it is "immaterial"(147). This word comes up quite often, basically whenever Issa is asked a question he doesn't want to answer, or a question about his past. This deceptiveness leads us to a deeper thought that maybe he is a terrorist. Annabel Richter, a lawyer who works with a company that defends immigrants like Issa, has taken Issa as a client and has hidden him in an apartment where she used to live. She is communicating with Tommy Brue, the banker, to try and figure the problem out with the large amounts of money in the accounts. Issa doesn't want this money, because to him it is tainted by his father. Brue refuses to get involved further than being able to give him the money from the account. SO they are at a standoff, because the only help that Brue is willing to give is the help that Issa doesn't want. The police have become very interested in Issa, because they think he might be a terrorist. Even if he wasn't they would be interested because of they way he came to Hamburg. From what the Police have told us, Issa escaped from a prison in Sweden, rode in a container on a cargo ship with a few other escapees to Copenhagen, where they were captured. Issa escaped again and got on a train to Hamburg. He is an illegal immigrant, so the police are trying to arrest him. Annabel Richter knows that whoever is chasing Issa from Russia will kill him if he is sent back, so she is trying to save him by keeping him in hamburg. This conflict sets the reader up for a number of interesting scenarios in the future. Will Annabel save Issa? Will Issa take the money and do something? Will Brue get more involved? any of these would be interesting, but we have no idea where this story will go.
