Chapter 1
It was then after Lt. Aldo Raine had given his speech to the basterds that he and his second in command, Sg. Donny Donowitz, had a private meeting in the house that they stood in front of only a minute ago. As Aldo put his hands on his hips he said."Donny, theres somethin very important that I'm about to tell you and you're gonna play a very important part in it."
"Whats that?" asked Donny standing with the same look on his face he always had whenever he was in front of his commander. The look that read he would do anything his commander told him to do because he knew that whatever it was, it would be beneficial towards his country and the Jewish race.
"I've heard of this girl named Gretel Landa from a Jewish family who she helps. She actually helps a lot of Jews out. Her daddy, Hands Landa, is an S.S. Officer who kills Jews. I need you to borrow her for me so she can help us catch him. If we can catch this sucker, it will lead us toward ending the war. I'm sure that since this girl is against killing Jews, it would bring her joy to help end this war."
Donny was taken out of what his commander was saying. Whenever anyone spoke of killing Jews, it made his blood boil.
Aldo inclined his head at his sargent knowing exactly what it was that was distracting him, "Donny?"
Donny head abruptly went up again.
"Can you help me with this?"
Donny composed himself again, "Uh, yeah. Sounds like some brave girl for having a daddy like that," said Donny his voice changing to something that was softer as his hands were behind his back.
"I'm sure she is, Donny. Its hard going against what your own people believe in," said Aldo looking down having the same feeling he knew Donny was probably feeling.
"Where can I find her?" asked Donny regaining his intimidating posture along with his dignified way of speaking to his commander.
"Here in France. She and her daddy are temporarily living here since Hans had to come here to France in order to do some Jewish killin," said Aldo also regaining the same posture and way of speaking.
Just hearing Aldo say that made Donny's blood boil. He hated those natizs for killing his own kind. He so much wanted to beat every single of their heads with his baseball bat. Donny had such a passion for baseball. This is why he used a baseball bat to torture and kill Natzis. He was also the strongest of all the Basterds. He was the most qualified for the job.
"Think you can do it?" asked Aldo looking at Donny with a little bit of desperation in his eyes. If they could get their hands on this girl, it would be really good for them to finally bring an end to this war with Germany.
It took Donny a moment to answer because of being deep in thought about how much he hated Nazis. "Yes," he finally said.
"I knew I could count on you, Donny." Aldo strode to Donny and hit him on the shoulder before leaving him alone.
