Die BrotchenStelle is Sergeant Jürgen Detweiler’s daily first stop. Inhaling fresh coffee and warm baked goods, he nods curtly at the familiar faces waiting in line. “Please respond to a one ten about bodies at the Frauen Helfen Zentrum.” The shrill alert quiets the café, a woman stops sipping tea, a suited businessman slowly lowers his newspaper. Stern faced, Detweiler unhooks his belt radio. “I’m on the way.” Customers step aside as he hurriedly leaves the line. Their curious faces follow his Polizei cruiser zipping past the café’s window with lights flashing. “Is that an abortion clinic?” the businessman asks. “Yes, it’s by the Red-light district.” the woman answers. Anxious hushed conversations sweep through the café.
