"Baroness Schraeder you were not to come into this part of the house. A jail is no place for a lady" said Zeller as he caught site of her. Georg looked away hoping Elsa did not see him.
"I apologize Herr Zeller " Elsa answered " I have never been back here and I was curious." Zeller motioned for one of the guards to take her to the main part of the house. Georg breathed a sigh of relief. His relief was short lived when Zeller turned and again asked if they had met. Georg had to think quick. He remembered reading last week in the newspaper that Hitler had a big birthday party in Vienna.
Georg attempting to disguise his voice said" We may have met at the fuehrer birthday party."
Zeller thought for a moment and nodded '" ah yes it must have been at the party." Georg heard the guard yelling at someone to walk. Georg saw Rolf as he came around the corner. As he entered the room the guard pushed him. The guard took Rolf by the shirt and shoved him in a chair. Georg looked at him. He obviously had been beaten. His eye was black and blue and his lip was bloody. He looked up at Georg. Georg wasn't sure if he recognized him but Rolf gave him a puzzled look.
Georg turns to Zeller and says" Herr Zeller since the papers are in order I need to take my prisoner back to Vienna. As I told your Captain my superiors are very interested in him. They want to know the whereabouts of certain resistance leaders."
Zeller again stares at Georg and then at Rolf" he will be a hard one to get information from. My best interrogators have not been able to get him to talk. I hope you have better luck with him". Zeller motions for the guard to get Rolf. The guard ties Rolfs hands behind his back. He pushes him towards Gerhard. Zeller addresses Georg" Colonel there is someone I would like you to meet." Have your guard take Gruber to the car and tell the driver to come around the front". Georg tried to tell Zeller he had to leave but Zeller insisted. Georg agreed after realizing he did not want to make Zeller suspicious.
Gerhard takes Rolf by the arm and puts him in the car. Georg followed Zeller to the main part of the house. As Georg looked around he was saddened by what he saw. His house was now in control of the Nazis. As he looked up at the top rail of the staircase a Nazi flag was hanging where once his flag had been. He hadn't noticed that Elsa was walking towards him.
"Excuse me Colonel may I introduce Baroness Schraeder" Zeller said as he tapped Georg on the back.
Georg turned clicked his heels and bowed to Elsa" How do you do Baroness.
Elsa smiled curiously as Georg made eye contact with her" How do you do Colonel, I understand you are from Vienna. Elsa looks at Georg. She is looking intensely at his eyes." It's strange but you look like". Elsa stops and Georg realizes she knows. He looks at her and hopes she says nothing.
"Who does he look like Elsa?" questions Zeller.
Georg holds his breath. Elsa smiles at Georg and says to Zeller " Oh he reminds me of someone I met at a party I went to in Vienna.
Zeller looks at Georg and Elsa. "I remember a party in this house. You remember Elsa. Von Trapp owned the house. You were his guest". Georg looked at Elsa. Did you know Von Trapp, Colonel."
"No Herr Zeller I have never met the man" Georg said as he looked at Elsa again.
"Really?" Zeller says. Georg sees Zellers expression change. Something's up Georg says to himself. Georg reaches slowly into his coat. Before he can pull his gun Zeller pulls his.
"Enough of this game Von Trapp " Zeller says as he points the gun at Georg."Did you not think that I would recognize you. Georg steps back and looks at Elsa.
" Well Zeller when did you know it was me? asked Georg.
"I knew it was you all along". I just wanted to see if Elsa recognized you before I exposed you. Now Captain you will come with me" sneered Zeller. As Zeller turned Elsa grabbed a vase from a table and hit Zeller over the head. Georg grabbed Zellers gun and Elsa arm. Georg ran with her towards the door. Just as he was about to open it a guard shouted for him to halt. Georg shot at him and opened the door. Georg ran out with Elsa to the waiting car. Jon shouted for them to get in. As they sped away Zellers men were shooting at them. Georg pushed Elsa to the floor of the car. Zellers men were following them in a car close behind them. All of a sudden another car pulled out of a clearing and blocked Zellers men. Georg watched as the two cars collided. As they drove towards the rendezvous point Georg pulled Elsa up off the floor.
"Elsa after everything that has happened between us you still helped me? asked Georg.
