Alice was sitting at a Café table waiting for Aldo Raine. Aldo was part of a Jewish-American soldier's team that called themselves the "Basterds". The "Bastards" liked to kill Nazis and leave no one alive. Aldo was to meet Alice at the Café and pick up a delivery, other wise known as a note. She had a message for the Basterds. She did not read the note, but she knew what it was about. Once a week Alice was to pick up a delivery at the post office that was sent by a German Soldier. She did not know when it would come so she had to check the post office everyday.
"Hallo Aldo," she greeted. "About time you arrived".
"Yes my dear, so sorry for making you wait, I ran into some German soldier's and had to take a different route. But I am here and you have something for me."
"So impatient, but yes I have a delivery." Alice reached into her pocket book and handed Aldo the note. He took it and unfolded it carefully. Looking around to see if they were being watched, seeing that they weren't Aldo read the note. Waiting for Aldo to finish, Alice looked over the menu.
"Bonjour mademoiselle, Que puis-je obtenir pour vous?" The waiter asked with a smile.
" May I have the croissant s'il vous plait, and a glass of water"? Alice asked.
"Oui, and for you sir?" Turning to face Aldo, who by now had safely tucked the note away in his pocket.
"I'll have the same, and a glass of bourbon." Aldo replied, looking into Alice's eyes. The waiter walked away with their order.
Alice was about to ask Aldo what the note said when she saw a military car pull up to the curb. Aldo seeing that Alice was focused on something turned around in his seat to see what was happening. Getting out of the German car were what appeared to be two soldiers and a Colonel.
Aldo turned back around and starred hard into Alice's eyes. Alice knew what Aldo was telling her for she got up and told Aldo to excuse her but she had to use the ladies room. Turning around Alice started walking into the Café but bumped into someone. Looking up to see whom she had walked into she found herself starring into a German Officer's eyes. Alice backed up only to find herself backing into another person. Turning around to see who it was she saw that it was another German Officer. Great she thought I'm stuck between two German Officers. The two men enclosed the space between Alice leaving little room between them.
" Excuses-moi, I am so sorry." Alice said looking down.
"Ah, madam that is all right. May I ask you of your name?" The officer asked with such a smile it made Alice blush.
"Oui Monsieur, I am Allison." Alice said looking away from the man's death stare.
"Well Allison I would prefer your full name, if that is alright with you." The Officer said looking up to see Aldo star ring at him.
"Sorry sir, Allison Frankfurter. But if you will excuse me I was on my way to the ladies room." Alice told the officers trying to get passed them, but failing.
"Well I see that you are uncomfortable in our presence so I will let you leave." The officer said taking Alice's hand and kissing it. Making her blush once again. Stepping aside he let her pass.
Alice tried not to walk quickly but those men made her nervous. She remembered his fierce blue eyes piercing through her own as if he were searching for something. She just realized that the man she had talked to was not that all tall. He just seemed so tall and projected. He was taller then her by a couple of inches, but the man that had stood behind her was much taller than herself. Walking into the ladies room she glanced up and saw the two Officers still looking at her. She quickly stepped inside trying to escape their gaze.
Aldo had just processed what happened in his head when he realized the two men that Alice had talked to were walking over to his table. Pretending not to notice them Aldo rose from his seat and left the café.
