Disclaimer- Does anyone actually read these?
Summary- Colonel Hoffenwhaffer strikes again! (hehehehe)
Other stuff- Sorry I left you all hanging when I went to camp, but I had fun! Skiing rules! I'm gonna be writing a fair bit this holidays though because I sprained my ankle skiing and can hardly walk.

Newkirk could barely contain his excitement as he and Colonel Hogan marched smartly through the corridors. Hogan was obviously trying to make it so no one else was nearby as he had a particularly nasty snarl on his face. It was the type of expression the could make little children have nightmares for several weeks.
Finding LeBeau and Carter's door Newkirk waved his hand for Hogan to stop. He was apprehensive as he opened the door, worried about what the Gestapo might have done to his friends.

LeBeau stirred as the door swung open.
Oh rats, thought LeBeau, here we go again.
"Louis? Hey Louis, Andrew are you in there?" Newkirks voice came floating across the room.
"Newkirk? Is it you?" LeBeau called.
"No" came the sarcastic reply "it's a ruddy Gestapo man with a cockney accent, of course it's me. Now let's go, the colonels waiting outside"
Feeling rather dazed at this turn of events LeBeau followed Newkirk outside as he explained about the cover they were using.
"You got it all guys?" Newkirk asked.
"You bet you I do!" said Carter, not sounding worried at all. Why should thought LeBeau, he has complete faith in the colonel.
They began to walk down the corridor, towards the exit. Hogan had begun glaring at anyone who got in their way. He managed to empty whole corridors with a single look.
They were almost out when a Lieutenant came up and began to talk to Hogan.
~ "Excuse me sir." Hogan kept walking "Excuse me sir."~ Hogan turned around and glared at the young man. He looked a bit like a very angry bear.
~ "Look young man, I do not have time to sign autographs for just any passer-by. Don't you have something better to do?"~ Hogan turned the glare on again.
The lieutenant was beginning to look like he wished he hadn't come over but he persisted anyway.
~"Sir, I didn't want an autograph, I just needed to tell you that you can't take these prisoners out of here without orders."~
The look that Hogan had on his face changed rapidly to absolute indignation.
~"Are you telling me young man, that you a measly lieutenant are questioning the authority of Colonel Hoffenwhaffer!!!"~ Hogan thundered. ~"Let me tell you something, these prisoners are very important to the Gestapo in Berlin. There is talk of secret organisations operating. And you, you come here and question my authority to take them to Berlin. Young man, the success of the Third Reich could very well rest on this and you are standing here, making it so I cannot transport my precious cargo. You make me sick!"~
Newkirk was making an enormous effort not to laugh at the look on the lietanants face. He looked so scared Newkirk thought he might die of fright right there.
~ "I'm sorry sir" the lietanant mumbled, "I didn't realise how important your assignment was"~
Hogan didn't acknowledge the apology, he just swept passed with the other heroes cole behind.

Once they were outside and on the way back to home sweet home, Carter breathed a sigh of relief. He had known that Hogan was going to rescue them. He had just known it.
Suddenly an enormous grin jumped onto his face.
"Hey colonel?"
"Yes Carter?"
"Are we still on to blow up that bridge? I think I'll be well enough to tomorrow."
He sounded like a little kid begging his father to let him go somewhere even if he was sick.
"Yes Carter, we're back in business tomorrow night. And this time Newkirk, you'll have some company back at the stalag. We are not risking another sneeze!"
