A most wanted man 165-219

Brue has gotten more involved with Issa. After they met, Brue realized that Issa had some serious problems. He was very skinny because he was so stressed, and he thought every man that wore a suit was a secret policeman. He also started liking Annabel. He is becoming an old man, and he is rich so that he decides he will just give Annabel some money to help Issa. He gives her thirty thousand euros, which is equivalent to about fifty thousand dollars, so she can check Issa into a clinic to help him get over his fear. One of Issa's most eerie quotes is when he says to Annabel "If I sleep, I shall return to prison"(132). I am not sure if this means that he thinks he is dreaming, and that if he goes to sleep he will wake up in prison, or maybe he has nightmares about what they did to him in prison. Either one has terrifying possibilities. Issa has been tortured, they know this, and he is very afraid. Brue has been trying to get Annabel to like him, so he decides to get more involved with the Issa situation, even though he knows that if Issa is arrested he will be in much deeper trouble for being an accomplice to whatever it is that Issa is doing. Then, right at the end, Annabel is captured by the secret police. They take over the situation with Issa, forcing her to make phony calls to him telling him everything is OK. After making the call and placing listening devices in the apartment where Issa is staying, she tells the secret policeman "that was the filthiest thing I have done in my life"(197). She is very angry that she had to lie to her client, who she was trying to protect. This shows her noble morals that she has as a lawyer. She could be working with some big, rich firm but instead she works to help out these charity cases and actually do something positive.
