They've invaded us. We are alone. Our friends have fled or been shot. The British abandoned us, the Americans won't come. Italy owns us. Germany owns us. But we are fighting back.
The young Frenchman sat in the woods, loading rounds into an ammunition clip. "May you all find your mark." He prayed. It had been several months of vicious fighting and the resistance had been all but exhausted. The German troops that were occupying France had been ruthlessly efficient in brushing aside the army that defended Western Europe, pushing them all onto the islands of Great Britain. Now only a few struggling militiamen remained to battle the Nazi's. The young Frenchman was the leader of his cell, all of whom had survived so far. He didn't expect any of them to be alive much longer. His only hope was that they could hold on long enough until his homeland was freed.
"Felix, it's time." A broad shouldered man stood at the doorway of the cabin that served as a hideout. He was Felix's right hand man and a good fighter.
"Bring everyone out Kaja." instructed the young leader. "We have some weapons to collect." The cell had been on their own for some time and supplies were running short. However a turn of good luck had come upon them in the form of a weapons smuggler who went by the codename of Sunshine. With new supplies and weapons the resistance could keep the fight going as long as the Germans controlled their homes.
The eleven men in the cell piled into two vehicles and drove to the rendezvous point. Sunshine stood out in the road with his vehicle sitting sideways to the road's path. The resistance stopped and got out of their vehicles to approach Sunshine. Felix and Kaja stood in front and stopped six feet away from the smuggler who looked as though he was in shock. "I'm so sorry. They found-"
A bullet tore through Sunshine's forehead and he collapsed to the ground. Other shots began ringing out. Kaja took a hit in the arm and other members dropped, guns firing in their hands at the unseen targets. Felix had left his rifle in the car and now could only shoot with his handgun into the woods. A shot grazed his hand and knocked his pistol away. With only a grenade in his pocket he looked back to see that everyone else was dead or running. Grenade in hand, he ran.
Out of Sunshine's car stepped two German soldiers who were hiding in wait there. Felix tossed the grenade in and jumped down for cover just as it went off, knocking down his pursuers. Running into the woods he didn't see that everyone else had been shot down. He was the only one left and had only one place to go where he could be safe. Assuming he could get there in one piece.
From behind a tree stepped a blond haired blue eyed Lieutenant Colonel who, along with his task force, stepped onto the road where the fallen resistance members were bleeding out. "Not a bad haul today." he smiled. Coming upon Kaja's body he noticed that the old man was still alive, even after six holes in his chest alone. Kaja tried crawling and took out a knife. He brought it down but missed the Nazi officer's foot. The officer took out his pistol and aimed at Kaja.
He muttered, "Bastard." just before the gun went off.
Pleased with his kill the German holstered his Luger and said, "Actually my name is Isaac."
