A Surprise For Newkirk
One morning after roll call all of the men where in the Barracks after a very trying week of sabotage and espionage, depending. Hogan was in his private quarters and the rest of the men were hassling Lebeau over what he was making them for lunch.
" 'ey Lebeau what in bloody 'ell is that stuff?" Newkirk said while lying on his bunk,
"Be quiet Newkirk it's better than what you British eat, anyways how am I supposed to make anything when I don't have the proper ingredients?" Lebeau responded in a sarcastic manner.
"That looks like it was scrapped off the side of the road."
As Lebeau gave Newkirk a dirty face and mumbled something in French Hogan walked out of his quarters to see if he could help solve the problem, "Newkirk stop picking on Lebeau…" as he said this he looked down into the pot and had something else to say," Lebeau what is that, Road kill stew?"
"Mon Colonel I thought you were defending me" Lebeau said in a defeated manner, and Hogan responded, "Well I was until I found out that you're trying to feed us something you wrestled away from the dogs." This little remark made the Barracks burst out in laughter.
"Okay, alright everyone that's enough…", just then the barracks door opened and Shultz walked in with Klink who was looking quite smug, 'Hello everyone isn't it a wonderful day?", he asked happily
"It was until you showed up" someone said
"Well Hogan you don't look so excited to see me." "What do you want from me now Klink?" Hogan asked quizzically
"Well Hogan I do have a special surprise for one of your men. "Klink explained
Then Newkirk spoke up," Well I 'ope it's not me sir, ya know too much excitement in one war could kill a man."
"Well Newkirk that is an interesting theory, now if you will just come with me."
"What do you mean…it is for me?" Newkirk asked surprised
"Well of course it is, I wouldn't want to disappoint you."
