Waking up in an unfamiliar place is always unsettling, but Anna was used to it. So, when her dark green eyes peeked open to find herself no longer in a whorehouse, but rather a church-she was only slightly thrown off.

Troy's head shook at her as he stayed perched on the kneeler. He hadn't asked her to come, but she had anyway. His large hands stayed folded together as the woman stood.

The empty Roman Catholic chapel was empty, and classically decorated in a way that Anna could only assume all churches were- elaborately. With its stain glass windows and statues of saints with names she could no longer recall, the woman felt neither welcomed, nor did she sense any kind of presence, divine or otherwise, from anything other than that of Troy. But, since he must have, she kept quiet as she wove in and out of the pews.

The minster was a… distant relative of Renee, and the trio had often found themselves sleeping in the church's attic in the colder months. Levi had been a tad uncomfortable about it in the beginning, but after some reassurance from the older man, he adjusted easily.

The young man in question was still at the brothel, completely overwhelmed with what was going on around him.

"You're…" He shook his head as he shrugged, "early?"

"What?" Aldo quirked a brow as he wandered down the stairs, brushing past the prostitute was a breezy air, "We said three days."

"It's only been two days." Levi glanced at Donny as he followed his leader down the steps. "Troy's not here."

"What about Anna? Anna here?" The lieutenant turned on his heel, looking up at the boy from the lower steps. A head shake answered his question, and Aldo swore quietly. Donny, on the look hand, wasn't quite as tactful with his disappoint.

"Fuck! Well, where is she?"

A surprised laugh came from Levi as he blinked at him. "I thought ya didn't like her?"

"I don't." Donny glared slightly, tone menacing as the boy smirked, sharing a look with the superior officer.

"Mhm."

Blue eyes rolled at them before Aldo spoke, "When're they s'posed t'a be back?"

"Could be hours." Levi said, not paying Renee any mind as she closed the door, darkening the stair way almost completely. "Maybe all night."

"They leave you alone often?" The man asked, turning to move down the stairs as the boy answered.

"No, but Anna's been lookin' for a chance to get out, and Troy just supplied a way."

"And what way is that?" Aldo looked around the basement. It was well lit, warm, a large bed in the corner. Why the hell would they go back to the woods if they had this? His eyes dropped to the floor a moment as he watched Donny drop onto the bed.

Levi crossed his arms as he rolls his eyes, "Church."

"Church?" The Boston man chuckled, picking the discarded white robe up. He fiddled with the silk between his fingers a moment, before letting it slip to the floor.

"Yeah, Troy goes every once an' a while." The Canary watched the material hit the floor with a bored gaze. "Sometimes she goes along."

Aldo scratched his scar awkwardly, still taking in the sight around him. "And the congregation doesn't mind?"

"They go after hours, it's easier for Troy that why." He looked on with mild interest as the man picked through a few of their belonging. None of them were personal, just some discarded clothes mostly, so he didn't mind really.

"Well," Aldo cleared his throat as Donny laid back on the bed cracking his knuckles carelessly. "I guess that puts you in charge then."

"Huh?" Levi's brows shot up as he shook his head, "What? No."

"'Course, you are." The Bear Jew scoffed as he smirked up at the ceiling, "Since you know so goddamn much anyway, what's the harm in makin' some decisions?"

"Exactly." Aldo nodded, mimicking Donny expression. "Now, we wanna welcome y'all back but there's some things we need t'a discuss."

"Damn right there is." Donowitz muttered. "How the fuck'd you ever find that camp, anyway?"

The prolong silence caused him to sit up, and the newcomers stared at the boy. His face was pale, and brown eyes suddenly exhausted as he shook his head roughly.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" Aldo raising a brow as those eyes narrowed at him.

"That's what I said, okay?!" Levi snapped, jaw clenched as his hands curled into fists at his sides.

The man nodded, "alright, son, calm down."

Donny ran a hand through his hair, wincing when the grease hit his open sores. Aldo ignored his plight, deciding instead to speak to the young man. "How'd you meet those two, anyhow?"

"I was stationed with Troy, Anna was a nurse."

"Well, I know that. I meant how'd y'all end up killin' Nat-zis?"

Levi let a long breath escape his lips as he looked up at the ceiling. "What's it matter?" He pulled a carton of cigarettes from his pocket as Aldo answered; "Humor me."

"I got put in Troy's troop, in December maybe. It might've been January, I can't really remember." The boy lifted the Zippo to his lips, lighting his smoke, "We'd been there about a week, maybe two when we ran into Anna."
He held up the carton to the men, and Donny accepted it. Taking a cigarette from the package, he listened as Levi went on. "It'd been evacuated a day or two before we reached it, but they'd left a lot of them behind. Some were sick, some were just too weak to move."

Aldo offered the boy a sympathetic glance, "So you were at a camp then?"

"Mauthasen." Levi said, his normally soft voice numb in the warm air of the basement. "It's just of easy of a town called Linz, in Austria. I hear it's started back up since we left."

"Yeah, it has." Lt. Raine confirmed, watching as the young man drew smoke into his lungs passively. "S'why y'all went AWOL?"

Nodding, he went on. "Troy was a bit higher up, so we just had to clean bodies out. I think Anna got the worst of it." Levi let another puff of cloudy smoke slip from his lips. "It's probably harder to deal with the survivors."

"What?" Donny chuckled, "that's the stupidest thing I ever heard."

"No, it's not." Aldo shook his head, casting the burly man a condescending look, "It ain't like watchin' Nat-zis die, Donowitz, that was a labor camp. It took time, and she probably had t'a sit 'round and watch it happen."

"The first week was the worst, the soldiers thought they were helping, but usually they just made it worse." Levi stomped his cigarette out before taking the pack from Donny and lighting another one. "Anna said a lot of the people left behind had been experimented on and left for dead."

"S'that why you snapped?" Aldo asked, "Killed those guards?"

Donny's brown eyes drifted back to the boy as he struggled to get his lighter going. His hands shook subtly, and after a few moments he addressed the question. "Yeah, I guess. Anna tell you that?"

"Troy."

"Hm. They were left behind to. Supposed to finish the job or somethin' I guess." The cigarette was finally lit and he inhaled eagerly. "Went off on 'em, Troy approved. One night we were gettin' ready to leave and caught Anna…doing what she does best."

"Oh god," Donny winced, "she wasn't fuckin' a guard was she?"

"What? No." A scoff slipped from his lips as Levi rolled his eyes, "she-"

A noise was heard just outside the cellar's hatch, and the men froze. The shed which kept the entry to the basement sealed was opened, and soon the sounds of voices came closer. As they became more pronounced, the men relaxed and soon found themselves in the company of allies. Troy gave Levi an impressed glance as he looked at Aldo. Donny stood, looping his arms around Anna as he dropped down on the bed.

"Hiya."

"Fucker!" She growled, pulling at his wrist as her back hit his chest. "Let go!"

Chuckling, he did, but only after Aldo told him to. The woman crawled off his lap, glaring at him before giving him a swift kick in the side. He grunted, grabbing her leg as the officers spoke.

"We want'cha t'a come back." The Apache said, his tone simple and to the point as he locked eyes with Troy. There was a moment of silent contemplation on Troy's part as he turned his head to watch Anna and Donny, now quiet but still bickering, on the bed. The man was being playful, the woman somewhat vicious. He knew damn well what would go on between him if he went with them.

Troy's dark eyes went back to Aldo's light ones and he smirked. "We'll go…"

"Great!"

"If Hirschberg apologizes."

A reddish hue came onto the Lieutenant's face as he set his jaw, "what was that?"

"Hirschberg. I want him to apologize to Anna."

"Aw," the woman cooed, nudging Donny in the gut as he ran a calloused hand over her shoulder, "you do care."

"Shut up, Connelly."

"Heh, better seen and not heard, Connelly." The Bear Jew teased.

"No one asked you!" She snapped, shoving him against the wall. The force behind it wasn't strong but Donny leaned back regardless.

"Now, I ain't gonna order my men to 'pologize to nobody." Aldo shook his head, "He wants t'a 'pologize, that's his business, but I ain't tellin' 'im to."

"Fine." Troy crossed his arms, "then I want control over my own men, and the right to withhold any information I choose."

"Fine. But I want to know their location at any given time."

"Only if I have the right to put your men in there place when they give us attitude." The man ran his tongue over his lips as the other answered.

Aldo shook his head, "No can do. You tell me if my men give you any problems and I'll sort it out with the proper discretion."

A hand slipped from Anna's knee to the inseam of her pants, and she gasp. "Donowitz!" Shoving it back up, her hand froze as she noticed the state it was in. "Goddamnit, Donny, haven't ya ever heard of gangrene?!"

"You callin' me stupid, Connelly?" Her concern amused him as her green eyes shifted back up to his face.

"Damn right I am! Jesus Christ!" Taking his large hand in her smaller ones, she sighed at the redness of one of the deeper gashes. Anna looked over at Levi, "be a doll and get my kit, will you?"

Nodding, the boy moved over to the pile of clothes Aldo had been digging through earlier.

"I'll keep my men, you keep yours?" Aldo offered, raising a brow, "on the condition that y'all give us some warnin' before ya go runnin' off int'a the woods like a couple'a fuckin' bats outta hell."

"You gonna mind your men?" Troy countered, "We'll share when we're ready. If we wanna include you, we will."

"Fine."

"Fine." The two shook hands as Levi put the box on the bed. Anna popped the lid open, ignoring the hand the slid back down to her inner thigh for a moment. His thumb once again brushed her inseam, putting just enough pressure to remind her what he was hovering over.

"Donny!" The man's head whipped to his superior officer.

"Yes, sir?"

"Knock that off, we're goin'."

A moan of annoyance slipped from the man's lips, but he stood regardless, a flushing Anna following after a moment's hesitation.

It was a lot more fun having his hand between her legs.

A/N: Huh. This one turned out better then I expected; again, thanks to my awesome beta Boondocks, and if you enjoyed the chapter review. I think y'all are really gonna like the next one.
