Chapter 7: Death of The Traitors
And then the three dashed to report the surprising news. Brigadier General Marcus stammered, "It could not be... We'll search their quarters and then arrest them. ASAP."
The lieutenants, Brigadier General Marcus and Hawkins armed themselves and went to search. "Nothing." The first lieutenant said. "Neither do I have any evidence." Hawkins looked at the bed and noticed that there was something unusual in it and lashed out a combat knife and cut the linings open. He took a couple of parchments and showed them to the general. He glanced and passed them to an interpreter. The interpreter's faced became terrified and explained that the Nazis were about to assault their camp in 6 hours. "It's execution time for these two scumbags... Guards! Track them down and bring them back to camp for execution! I'll go and free Jim and you can join the team." But Jim halted the brigadier general for a while, "Sir, May I go and give him a little visit?" "All right then, you can go."
Hawkins went to the cell Jim was in, it was rather unfriendly with three solid concrete walls and only a small barred window and the entrance to the cell itself. Jim had a sullen face and was sitting there as if he was doomed for sure. Hawkins told Jim the good news that brightened his face. Suddenly he looked vengeful once more and gave Hawkins two bullets that were for a revolver. Hawkins was the last to go on board the truck, which then pursued the traitors. They were nearing a nearby town when Hawkins heard a familiar voice shouting, "It's them! Run!" And in a second Hawkins knew that voice was none other than the despicable Rick. "Lieutenant, mind if I can use your revolver?" "No problem. Here it is." To the lieutenant's surprise, Hawkins emptied the revolver and put in the two bullets that he had. The truck gained speed when the driver sighted the two traitors running away from them. Hawkins put his torso out of the window and aimed the revolver at them. He pulled the trigger once and aimed again and fired the second time. Joe fell first and Rick was the next to stumble to the ground with a groan after having their legs shot by Hawkins. The soldiers went down the truck and pulled the traitors up the truck without any sign of mercy. The truck sped back camp. Rick and Joe soon found themselves locked up in a cell awaiting their deserved execution.
At dawn, they were led to the execution grounds and they were blindfolded. Some soldiers especially Jim and Hawkins were there to witness the death of the traitors. The commander hollered, "Squad ready!" There were many "Ka-chunk" sounds. "Fire!!" The riflemen pulled the trigger and bullets were driven into the wretched bodies. The minds of Rick and Joe instantly swam into pitch darkness.
As soon as the bodies were dragged away, a panicky private came running and told Brigadier General Marcus that the weak defense spots that were waiting for reinforcements to patch up were being under attack by the Nazis. Several soldiers at the frontline were fiercely fending off the waves of assault led by Nazis.
People shrieked and fell when one or more bullets from the opposite side found its or their way into their bodies, leaving behind a mass of blood splattered in all directions. Some German Panzer and Tiger tanks successfully blasted their way through the borders of the American resistance, only to be blown to pieces by the anti-tank weapons.
After many long hours of nearly endless fighting, the last of the intruders retreated and disappeared in the horizon. The Americans gave a light-hearted cheer when the last few soldiers scampered out of view. The brigadier general gave a sigh and knew that Rick and Joe informed the Nazis about the "gaping holes" in their defenses as all the military personnel were told to cover up the "holes" when any assaults did happen.
"Well, I hope none of you all will follow their footsteps unless you want to have bullets in your bodies. Dismissed." The soldiers went in all directions to their quarters for a good night's sleep after a long fight except for those being treated in the medical camps. Jim lay on his bed with two hands on his head and thought about Rick and Joe framing him. It took him hours of tossing around in bed till he could close his eyes peacefully and dream of his family back in America.
