A/N: Warning for this one. It features Isaac as a Nazi. If that will offend you in any way, at all, ever, don't read this one. But I'll tell you now so I don't get yelled at. Isaac is working as an undercover agent. Plus, I don't think I could see him promoting Nazis. No offense is meant to anyone. This is an idea that just wouldn't go away.

Setting – 1940 – Germany
The man took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He knocked on the door in front of him, knowing there was someone watching him. The door opened and there stood an old woman of about seventy. She peered curiously up at him.
"Yes?" she asked, taking notice of the Nazi insignia on his arm. "Can I help you?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, for disturbing you" the man said, taking off his cap and exposing his blond hair. "My name's Isaac. I had business out in the country and I'm afraid I won't make it back to my regiment before the rain starts and night falls."
The old lady looked at the sky. He was telling the truth. There were some nasty storm clouds approaching. Plus, she couldn't turn him away. "Alright then. I'll let you stay the night. I'm afraid that I only have a couch for you," she said, letting the young man, Isaac, in.
"That's no problem at all, ma'am," he replied, stepping inside. The door was closed behind him. "Thank you for letting me stay, ma'am. However, that's not the real reason I asked to stay."
The old woman paled. No, she had been found out. She had to warn the family. She opened her mouth but was cut off.
"No," Isaac said. "I'm here to help." A questioning glance was sent his way. "I'm part of an undercover resistance. I could tell you were hiding a family. An associate of mine should be at the back window at two o'clock to help them escape."
"Thank you, young man," the woman smiled. "I had no idea how I was going to get them out of here. Should they come out?"
"The less I know about whom I help," Isaac began, "The harder it is to tell that I've been helping. But I still need to stay the night, it is rainy outside."
"Thank you," the old lady whispered as Isaac laid down on the couch for a night of rest.
Two o'clock found a shadowy figure by the back window.
"Come on," the figure, a man by the sound of it, whispered. "Out the window, we need to hurry."
The family of four, a grandfather, mother, and two children, slipped out the window. They then stole off into the night, guided by another figure.
Isaac gazed out the window at the first figure. "How'd you distract him?" he asked.
"Mia's vicious when she's riled up," the figure answered. "She knocked him out by hitting him over the head with a piece of wood."
Isaac flinched. Ouch. Mia was a cruel person sometimes. And she was supposed to be a healer and against fighting.
"So, where do you think we should head after this?"
"I heard there were a few people holed up over in Holland. Maybe that way."
"I'll see if I can get a transfer." Isaac nodded. "You might want to catch up, Felix. Or else Jenna's going to leave you behind."
Felix grinned. "You're probably right about that. Meet you at the usual spot. And don't forget this time." He then disappeared into the night after his sister.
Isaac yawned as he woke up the next morning. He just couldn't get used to waking up in the middle of the night. He sniffed and went into the kitchen for breakfast.
"Thank you, ma'am," he started. "But you didn't have to do this."
She just smiled and continued cooking. Isaac dug in. He was, after all, a healthy young man with a large appetite.
As he was finishing up, he asked, "Will you continue to hide Jews?" She nodded. "If you need our help again, put a candle in the back window and leave it there for three nights. Someone should show up on the third night at the same time."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because," Isaac smiled, "Who else is going to?"
With that, he replaced the cap upon his head and left through the front door. He headed back for Berlin.
A/N: This one turned out funny. It's all polite and blah. Plot bunny that would not go away. And I repeat, if anyone was offended by this at all in any way, shape, or form, it's your own fault for not listening to my warning's. A/N's are there for a reason.
I like Felix, but he keeps showing up in all my stories. The next will be featuring Ivan I think. And Felix will not be in it!
