Chapter 2
Leaving the café as quickly as possible, Aldo walked into a street alley. Knowing that the two officers were still following him, he quickened his pace. Turning right onto another back street, he heard one of the officers yell, "STOP". That's when he started running. Lucky for him he knew his way around town.
"Aldo Raine, we know who you are! If you keep running we will shoot." Yelled Major Dieter Hellstrom.
Aldo of course did not listen, and kept running. Following pursuit was the Major.
"Major Hellstrom, forget about him we can just get the girl. I will make her tell us everything, just give it time." The Colonel said.
Alice stepped out of the restroom and looked at the table Aldo was suppose to be at. Noticing that he wasn't made her a little concerned. Also taking note that the two Officers she had "bumped" into earlier were nowhere to be seen, made her heart beat even faster. Walking to the table Alice looked up to see the Officers walking down the street toward the Café. Thinking nothing of Aldo's disappearance Alice sat down and waited. After about 10 minutes of waiting, Alice thought maybe something came up with the Basterds. So she decided to go home.
Her home was about a 30-minute walk from the city. Noticing that it was looking cloudy Alice took out her umbrella. Just in the nick of time she thought, right as rain pellets fell from the sky. Hearing a beeping sound coming from behind her, she turned around and found herself looking at the same car as the one from the Café. Oh great she thought I am in trouble. Turning around she pretended not to notice the car and continued walking home. Now that it was raining harder, Alice had to slow down her pace because the ground was getting muddy and she started to slip. Loosing her balance Alice fell smack dab in a big pile of a pool of mud and gravel and rock.
Hans Landa saw the girl he met earlier fall in the rain. Quickly getting out of the car he ran over to help. Rapping one arm around her tiny waist and using his other arm to pick her up he carried her to the car and gently placed her in the back seat of the car. Running back out in the rain he picked up Alice's pocket book and umbrella. Sliding into the car he lifted Alice's head off of the seat and placed it into his lap. Seeing that the girl was unconscious and checked the part of her body that was not covered by clothing for any scrapes or bruises. Taking note of a new gash on the back of her neck, some bruises, and scars everywhere else it seemed she most of taken a nasty fall.
"Hermann, take us straight back to the house. I can not just leave this poor women at home without any medical attention." Hans ordered. Looking down into his lap, he looked into Alice's face. She looked like an Angel, sleeping peacefully. Not having to worry about anything in the real world. Well all of that was about to end soon. But in the mean time he would take care of her, and gain her trust and slowly he would start to get the truth.
Alice's POV:
The sun was blinding. Oh it hurt so bad to open my eyes. Quickly I closed them only to feel a brisk pain shoot through my head.
"Ahh I see we are finally coming around."
Turning my head to see who was talking to me I realized it was the man from the café.
"Where am I?" I asked looking straight into his blue eyes.
"You are in my home. I brought you here after you fell in the mud and rocks. Before you fell you didn't want anything to do with me, but now faith has brought us together once again." The colonel said with an evil smile on his face.
"I see, well I am just going to be on my way then." Sitting up and swinging my legs over the edge of the bed I stood up and started walking to the door. Feeling very fatigue and light headed all of the sudden I lost my balance and practically collapsed into the man's arms.
"Well my dear it looks as if you're not well enough to leave without assistance or leave at all." Lifting Alice into the bed and placing a soft kiss on her forehead, making Alice stiffen.
"Merci sir, I am so sorry for all of this."
"It is alright, now get some sleep, we have a lot of catching up to do."
Hans Landa's POV:
Walking downstairs to his office, he met up with Major Hellstrom.
"Well Colonel how is she?"
"Major Hellstrom have you ever heard of a perfect angel?"
"Why yes sir I have, I consider my fiancé my perfect angel." Major Hellstrom replied looking onto the distance thinking of his to be bride.
"Well I have found my perfect angel and she has found me, she just doesn't know it." Hans replied with a smirk.
"Speaking of Alice, she awoke in my presence and I told her a brief summary of what occurred yesterday. She didn't seem to mind being here, but maybe that is because she was still waking up. But, she told me thank you for my hospitality and she said that she would be on her way. So she stood up and walked about 8 feet towards the door. I of course was falling very close behind and caught her when she fainted. I placed her back in bed and she fell asleep right as her head hit the pillow. When she wakes up again I wont be here so I must ask you to assist her in any way possible. Is that clear Major?"
"Yes sir! I will bring her lunch and if she is well enough she can come downstairs." The major replied with a suspicious smile plastered on his face.
Alice:
Slowly waking up again, Alice made sure to not make any noise. She did not want anyone to here that she was awake. Looking outside of her window from the bed she saw outside. It was a gorgeous sunny morning. The house she was out had a beautiful yard. A large backyard full of perfectly and newly cut grass. The grass was so green! Alice found herself looking at a gate the house was surrounded by. A tall black colored fence aligned the house. Great Alice thought if I am going to get out of here I have to find a way through that gate. From where she was sitting she could only see part of the yard. She did not see an opening so she assumed she was facing the back yard.
"How am I going to get out of here? I cant let anyone see me leave. I remember the man in the bedroom told me when I woke up again we would do some catching up to do. I don't know what that means, but I don't want to stick around to find out" Alice thought….
