The Tunnel: Chapter Two

Wolfgang Hochstetter was furious yet scarily thrilled. Not only had he just gotten a message that a secret munitions factory was blown up, He had found out that the saboteur had been injured in the explosion. He had finally gotten Hogan! All he had to prove was that Hogan had been/is injured and *BAM*! He had that arrogant American prisoner in the palm of his hand.

After he had dismissed the lowly private who had brought him the message, Hochstetter called the hospital and made arrangements for his driver to pick up a skilled doctor and take him to Stalag 13. As soon as he got off the phone with the hospital, the Gestapo major called his staff car up to the front of headquarters and directed him to the hospital. Operation Papa Bear was in effect!

Doktor Hans Mueller was horrified. Not only was he an underground agent, a doctor, and a father to two young boys, he was going with the Gestapo on a top-secret mission. The young 32 year old man had joined the Underground about a year ago, and had helped Papa Bear many times with secret missions. Colonel Hogan was fun to be around and Mueller liked helping the cocky American. When he was paged for a phone call with the Gestapo, he had prepared for the worst. He breathed a huge sigh of relief when he found out that the verdammen Gestapo didn't have his family. He lost his relief, however, when he discovered that he was on his way to Stalag 13, where the famous (among the underground) prisoners lived. So with much haste, Doktor Mueller grabbed his medical bag, throwing in items such as his stethoscope, blood pressure wrap, a few shots and vaccinations and the random dressing gauze. As hurriedly as possible, the underground agent ran to the front door as the Gestapo car pulled up to the front of the hospital. Trying to be a little dignified, the young doctor strode out to the front of the car and waited until the private opened the door for him. Major Hochstetter and Doktor Mueller made their way to Stalag 13 in silence. (The major didn't like doctors that much because he was afraid of shots.)

Corporal Louie LeBeau was keeping door watch in the infirmary while Wilson treated Colonel Hogan. He couldn't stand the sight of blood. It was so disgusting! Then something else disgusted him: Major Hochstetter had brought Hans Mueller with him and they were headed towards the infirmary! Kinch was with Wilson behind the curtain holding down Hogan, while Newkirk and Carter were listening in on Klink's office and starting to repair the tunnel.

"Kinch! Wilson! Bosch Hochstetter and Klink are coming this way with Hans Mueller. Hochstetter is looking very smug too!"

LeBeau had barely finished saying this when Hochstetter barged into the infirmary. "Bah! Where is Colonel Hogan! Heads will roll!!!!!!" he yelled, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Sergeant Wilson came rushing out from behind the curtain, trying to calm the belligerent man. "Major Hochstetter! Will you please calm down? I have a very sick man in here who I am trying to keep alive! Colonel Hogan was in a stuck in a collapsed tunnel for more than 3 hours and is in shock. Oh good. You brought a doctor. Wow, news really travels fast around here, doesn't it? Mr. Doktor sir, if you would, could you please look at the Colonel? I'm not sure that I can do everything to make him perfectly better."

"BAH!" Hochstetter screamed, before storming out of the infirmary. A moment later, everyone in the infirmary could hear tires' squealing as the car was sent into motion at once. Doktor Mueller just looked at Colonel Klink before shrugging and turning to the sink to wash his hands. At once he started working on Hogan. With a professional doctor helping the medic, Kinch and LeBeau were free to help their comrades in any way possible.

About forty-five minutes later, Doktor Mueller came out from behind the curtain. Sighing, he went over to the sink to wash his hands again. Then he faced Hogan's entourage. "Your colonel is certainly a lucky man. If he was hit with beams one more time, his appendix would have burst. I will need to take it out, but it can wait until he recovers some. He is slowly coming out of shock, and Sergeant Wilson has directions on what to do for that. I also gave Wilson medications and other necessary items to help for the colonel. You four better go get your things from the barracks. Sergeant Wilson will need some of your help tonight, so why not just let all four of you stay, no? I will tell Kommodant that I insist on it. Doktor's orders. Goodnight."

Hans Mueller then gathered his belongings and left the building, heading for the kommodant's office.

Later that night after roll call, Shultz came over to the infirmary bearing flowers and a chocolate candy bar. "Hello boys, I thought you all might like these candy bars and flowers for Colonel Hogan. Is he awake yet?"The kind guard asked.

"Yeah………Shultz, what do you……. want?" A weak voice came from the only occupied cot.

"Colonel Hogan!" came many surprised voices at once, as everybody tried to gather around their injured Colonel. Wilson, however beat the crowd. He got to the cot first and was taking vitals and his heartbeat by the time Shultz made his way through the crowd.

"Oh, Colonel Hogan, I am so glad you are awake. The big shot was getting so nervous, especially when the Doktor said that your crew should stay in the infirmary until you are better. Are you feeling better?" Shultz asked, while the 4 other heroes were still trying to get out of shock.

"I've been…….better. Stomach…hurts…..lots…."He wheezed out before drifting off to sleep.

"He's out cold again." Wilson reported, shaking his head. "He shouldn't have any infection, but I'm going to give him another shot of penicillin to be careful. Shultz, you better get back to your post before Klink catches you."

"Ja, ja" Shultz agreed, before waving in farewell and walking out the door, and closing it tightly behind him.

"You all should get some rest. You're going to have a long day ahead of you tomorrow, with repairing the tunnel, and all." Wilson said, "Get some rest. I'll wake you if he wakes up."

Grudgingly, the men obeyed. However, before they knew it, they were sleeping like babies. Wilson shook his head amazed, before turning back to his work.
