Not with the death of Tallon and Bartsch, not with the egregious Krebs, but only with the protection of the whole Moonraker project from its possible enemies.

Bond followed Krebs to the door through which he had entered, he saw the other two with Drax in the lead make for the double doors at the end of the room which had opened as Drax finished speaking.

As in the case of Walter and Krebs their heads were close-shaved, presumably, Bond would have thought, to prevent a loose hair falling into the mechanism.

But who said Krebs had heard a noise or done anything about it if he had?

Bond told her of his discovery of Krebs and of the scene in his bedroom.

Every now and then Krebs would grasp the starting-handle and crank it hard and a feeble stutter would come from the engine before he went back to his tinkering.

The lights changed and Drax was over the crossing and away again, but not before Bond had seen that Krebs was beside the driver and there was no sign of Gala except the hump of a rug over the narrow back seat.

At first Krebs had occupied himself with the machines, talking to them in German in a cooing baby-talk.

She had struggled to get to her knees and scream, but Krebs must have felt her movement because his hands were suddenly at her ankles, strapping them to the foot-rail along the floor, and she knew that she was lost and suddenly the tears were pouring down her cheeks and she was praying that somehow, somebody would be in time.

He held the car steady as a rock as Krebs, with bare feet, went over the windscreen and scrambled along the shining bonnet, his knife in his hand.

He got into the front seat and while he turned the car Krebs leant over from the front seat and busied himself with a long piece of flex.

Despite a growl from Krebs he paused on the stairway and looked up at its glittering nose.

Then he started his patient journey back to where Gala was sitting at the corner of the desk on which Krebs had left the blowlamp.

Then the door burst open beneath him and Krebs was calling urgently to the leader of the guards.

The man doubled smartly back to his troop and Krebs, the sweat of anxiety on his face, turned and disappeared back through the door.
