Chp14 head of the hyenea

The flashes of bombardment to the south indicate the Russians are closing the noose on Peenemunde Main complex. I stand on the water tower at Nevenkirchen to the north of the haloed island. The small research center for the A-A wasserfall (guided air to air missile) Rockets. I shake with the dread of the coming evacuation to Thuringia and Sangerhausen. The new research center. I look down at the small Child bride of mine. Children having Children, Detra would have said with horror. I'm just sixteen and a wunder-kinder of the Modern man. Rudigar my old cousin in the SS would have said Aryan race, except I'm short, skinny, brown hair brown eyes and everyone before my wedding would have bet homosexual. Since my world is books, math and physics, gentle manners and quiet Selbstbeobachtung volksmarches the wilds. Today, I must be a man. Sarah the fourteen-year-old maid of the boarding house here in Nevenkirchen, my very pregnant bride. Must hide her Jewish past. She small, petite, brown hair and enormous blue eyes. She grabbed my heart and soul the first time we met. She must get out of here before the Russian arrive or the SS find out.

I see the light of the sedan coming, Rudigar is here. He wormed his way into the evacuation to Sangerhausen. His job in the hell hole of Wifo mine and Dora dead camp is finished. His expertise and experience assembling the V2 is to be translated into the Wasserfall. A wasted mechanical engineer in the brutal SS. I climb down and gather my wife. Rudigar has gotten a pass to bring his girlfriend the Fifteen-year-old Frida, the very picture of Aryan perfection without a soul or heart. She claims to be pregnant too.

Sangerhausen is a brief stop on the way home to Eichen, but that is gone to allies bombers. The harrowing 396km trek through the line and hills to Aunt Annie farm at Odental in the relaxing hills of the Bergisches lands, outside the ruins of Cologne. My motherly relatives who raised me, take us in. My Aunt Anastasia and her cousin Aunt Anna, poor Aunt Detra died with Cologne in her house last year (allied bombers), right after I transferred from Gessen university to Marburg- Philipp University do to the leveling of Gessen by the same allied bombers. I miss the Alter bolanischer gardens and the might Schloss on the hill.

The war ends with whimpers in the hills around us. Were in the French zone, lucky Sarah speaks French, mastering several languages. Rudigar arrives on Christmas day 1946 with Frida very heavy with child. He lost a lot of weight, is very sick, soon to die, but he's cut a deal with Americans. I, Sarah, Werner my son and Frida go to America. I will work on the American Missile program. The American military arranges for us to die, so the Russian won't know we've escaped to America. The let me keep my first name Thomas and a change my last name Gehrman to Thomland. I don't see the issue, but we are getting out of here. I say good bye to my Aunt. I will try to bring them to America as soon as I can.

I dump Frida and her son Werner in Tacoma, Washington. While Sarah and I with our son Werner land in Redstone Arsenal Alabama as the Gorman family. Frida changes her name to Townsend, keeping the fiction that I'm Werner Von Stadt Senden y Townsend's father. Rudigar boy is as evil and morally broken has was his father. He hates me, the reality of his SS heritage, i married a jew. His mother dies from social disease after he's leaving for college.

My son Werner Isiah Gorman is a brilliant lad, small like me and his mother. Sarah dies giving me a second son William Ezekiel. I cannot handle the two small boys, I arrange to have my aunts come over. The army men are confused by Anastasia Gehrman and Anastasia Von den Eichen. I so wish my Aunt Detra Hessdorfer had lived to see my sons. Happy days in youth spend swimming in the Dhunn lake above Odental farm with her. I live to see my son off to college at MIT in Boston at sixteen, I'd already earned my master in math and physic by that age. The chemical and fumes my passions for rockets, end my life in the arms of my loved one. Sarah, I will soon join you in heaven.

Diary of Thomas Gehrman born 1929 Eichen Westphalia Germany, died 1965 Redstone Arsenal Alabama

I read granddad's diary again, looking out the car window as I speed thru the Tennessee landscape. The family is with Abby in the hospital, she found a donor. I wonder what she like this A. Steele, the family phone is strangely silent. Everything is going to voice mail. I dread what will happen if she dies. I reflect, the nagging question of our lives where is Rose.

I don't remember being just two, any of the events of that night in 1989. Just mother was gone, and Rose was so small and happy. Nine-year-old Leilani was bossy, sad. Mildred the housekeeper/nanny was sad to. The South Carolina born African-American housekeeper of Granddad, and the Aunts now ours. It would be years before I could understand and feel the emotions of that night. I bear the scar on my chest from the gunshot that woke the house.

Early one morning about two months after Rose was born and Nixi, our mother had died. Two people broke into the house and stole Rose and shot me and Leilani. Dad managed to shot one, a man named Otto Kirchen. The other a woman escaped with Rose. I can remember standing at mother grave in the hill outside of Livermore California. Watching my father lowered into the ground, I was just four. The loss of mom and Rose broke him. Damaged Leilani and I forever. I visit the grave every year on my birthday. A promise I made till Rose is home.

I search every year for Rose, praying she alive and happy. We've never understood why she was taken or why we were shot. The only clue was an instruct sheet, spelling out the cold evil deed. I need to put this pain behind me, as the hospital grows in my vision. Abby need a happy aunt not a worried one.

I enter to a Security lock down. Not just the Lawrence normal crew. I watch as a blond hottie step up to me. "You must be Detra. Sawyer, Grey Security. We need to talk about Anastasia Rose." I nearly faint at the words. Race my CPO helps me to a chair. Mike Lawrence the leader of his Family joins us.

"What is going on Mike? Who is this and why Rose?" I ask afraid to hope, dream or even dare to believe in miracles.

"Well, Detra, Alex told you we found a donor for Abby, a nearly perfect match." God, he's drawing this out. I tall gorgeous mature woman sits next to me. "hi, I'm Mercedes."

"YES, GET ON with it please Mike"

"Well turns out A. Steele was Anastasia Rose Steele from Seattle, this is her step-mom-to-be. Your sister is home." I just sit stunned processing the information. My little sister is home and saving my niece, correction our niece's life. I jump up and do my Snoop dance, I Don't care. Not one frigging bit; it's not dignified or proper behavior for the wife of a billionaire. I dance to release the pend up angst and joy. I calm and re-sit down, bouncing with anticipation of my sister.

The blond hottie CPO push a cell phone with a picture of a petite brown hair woman, I don't think she my sister, the eyes to cold an merciless, evil tinted irises shine in the fake innocent face. Could it be? "This is Carla Maria Wilks, the woman claiming to be Anna biological mother." The bitch who stole my sister, I stare hard, nothing ring a bell or stirs memories, "Maybe Leilani knows?" they shake their heads no.

"We know that Werner Townsend is trying to kill her, she is a threat to his wealth and position." I digest the information on Werner the worm. Our very distance and evil cousin. I need help, I need my Merry. I pull my cell phone and call my Computer genius, former BFF roommate from MIT. "Merry I need a complete rundown on anything in the Rose file about a Carla Maria Wilkes, Werner the worm, and ("Frank lambert" blondie interject) Frank Lambert of Louisville" I look at everyone as Merry crunches the computer files.

"how did you know Lambert was from Louisville?" Mercedes ask.

"the Lambert's were neighbors when dad and mom lived in Redstone, Dad wrote Frank a letter to join the Army. Why?"
"Carla claimed Frank as Anna's biological father, that held till the Doc. Matched the blood types on the dog tags Ray wears and proved it wrong." Blond hottie says

"I'm confused who's the DOC? And Ray?"

Mercedes speaks with a light British accent, "Ray is Anna's dad, The DOC is Dr. Grace Grey, Anna's future mother-in-law. Before you ask. Ray is Carla second husband and raised Anna since the bitch prove incapable of doing it."

"Ok" "War, what's good for absolutely Nothing" Merry's ringtone blares. I grab the receiver hoping for news. "Well spoiled brat, Frank and Carla were married, Carla's Mom was Theresa De Young of LA. Ring a bell. Werner's cougar in College. Seems Carla married Frank and had a very mysterious birth in Ft. Bragg a week after the snatch. Showed up couple of days after the supposed birth at home to registry one Anastasia Rose Lambert, Frank filed the same day for a hardship discharge the same day, died the next in a parachute accident, seem he was too stoned to pull the cord. Werner's been paying her a monthly 5 grand to an off-shore account. Her DNA match from an arrest in Vegas shows she Worms daughter. I'm looking to find the girl, she' probably in Georgia near the mother."

"No, she here with us, saving Abby. She from Seattle." I say proudly to my BFF.

"What? Wait a moment, Anna Steele of Seattle, THE ANASTASIA STEELE OF GEH, the Princess of GREYVILLE! I'm sending you the Monte-Carlo pic's. She bagged your Husbands main competition Christian Grey. Wait till Yagi hears this. Wait you both bagging Billionaires, No fair, BFF not Fair at all"

"Merry, please I need to go a meet the girl. Besides Yagi need the competition to keep him honest and happy. I wonder if we can merge. Bye." I turn to a very deep looking Mercedes. "Your married to Yeager "YAGI" Howard, CEO of Bright Star Enterprise, the Tony Stark of America"

I nod, "yea?" "enough of the family shit and threats, Sawyer run the ball, Christian and Ray will want to drive the stakes in, but I still don't understand why Townsend is so scared of Anna, you all are alive. What would her death mean?" she says

"Uncle William died in 2000 he left his fortune to us girls provided we all three marry. Not one or two, but all three. Otherwise the fortune is Werner's, he's leveraged his whole company on the wealth of that trust fund going to him. After all, three billion dollars in gold bullion, Wasserfall Hedge fund in Bonn is nothing to sneeze at."

"why not kill her then?" Sawyer ask

"IF Rose died in a crime or we could prove Worm's involvement, the hedge fund diverts to charity, nobody gets it."

Walking down the hall I scan the pic's Merry sent me. WOW my Sister is HOT. I walk into the Prep op ward, Abby is cuddle up to a brown hair copy of us in bed, Leilani sit next to them. There watching TV, A Muppet rerun, Big Bang must have just ended. I just crawl into bed and hug my found sister. The tears flow as I have fulfilled my promise to my parents. my sister is home, happy and loving.

Friday one full week since I left Seattle, six days since Anna found her family. The negotiates are going slow and rough, Anna's in Memphis with her found family, I'm relieved that Carla is not my future in-law. I want to rush to her, but she demanded I stay a finish this. Merce and Ray have the new family in hand and the information makes the war nearly won. Carla has skipped to a non-extradition country; Townsend company is coming apart as his finances are evaporating has my pending marriage dooms him. I revel in the knowledge that by next week, we will be free of him and only the evil Mr. Hyde remains.

"Gentlemen, the offer is good for exactly five minutes. Roz finish the signing or packing up. I'm heading home to Anna."

"Christian she in Memphis." Roz corrects me.

"Where ever she is! It home. An I will always need to be there with her."

I walk into a tea party on the Lawn. I shake my head at the sight of three Anna's, no make that four: the little one is bouncing on a giant's shoulders. I walk up and my Anna rockets into my arms. Kissing me to the ground and heavenly bliss. After the Jeers and cat calls she introduces me. i waltz her to a distance fence lined pasture of furry horses. "their medieval walking ponies" Anna chimes, as I take her lips. She shines under my love, I explode in happiness. Families forged, found and cherished, I am so lucky to have been blackmailed by this girl.

Christian kisses against the fence is heaven, I feel bliss and belonging. I catch in corner of my eye ghostly figures from the painting in the living room. My true parents, Werner and Nixi, grandparents Thomas and Sarah, the aunts we're named for and even uncle William all smiling and wave happy greeting to me, leaving us to youthful lust. here in Chris arms. I have my future, present and past. I belong, I matter, I am loved for who I am. How lucky I am to be blackmailed by this good man.
