Chapter Three
Joe Liebgott was stonily silent for the drive back to troop headquarters. More then once he had seen Webster shoot him a glance but had ignored it on the whole.
When they parked in front of the enormous house Joe practically hurled himself out of the jeep. He stormed up stairs, until he and Webster reached their room, which they shared with Babe Heffron and Don Malarkey.
Once in the room, Joe frustrated with life to the point of insanity hit a spindly-legged table making it fly across the room and shatter into pieces. "Fucking Nazi's!" He yelled throwing himself on his cot.
"Wow!" Babe said sitting up. He looked at Webster who shrugged.
"What up?" Don asked.
"Nothing!" Joe responded aggravated with everything.
"Fine." Don said not really all that bothered.
Joe lay looking at the ceiling. It had been his pleasure shooting the commandant but he now wished his death had been a little more drawn out. Especially when he had heard what happened to Gabrielle.
What weird twist of fate made Joe be born in the United States and Gabrielle in Germany, who decided that she should have had to suffer that much. It made him sick. But it was something else that made her stick in his head.
First and foremost she had to be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Her hair had been even more brilliant when it was washed and it was wavy, her surprisingly big brown eyes were entrancing. He racked his hand through his hair. He was defiantly loosing it.
"Hey, you guys wanna go to the lake?" Joe looked up to see Frank Perconte's head sticking through their door.
"Who else is going?" Don asked.
"Me," Perconte said his face screwing up in concentration.
"No shit?" Don said sarcastically.
"Shut it Malark, Bull and Luz,"
"I'll come." Webster said standing up.
"Yeah, me too." Said Don. He got up and looked at Babe and Joe. "You too coming?"
Babe shook his head "Nah, gotta write to my mom." Joe shook his head.
"Okay, Luz wants to go to the nurses first to pick up Isabelle." Frank added. Joe sat up.
"Fine with me." Don said.
"I am coming." Joe said standing up and heading out the door.
"I thought you were going to sulk." Webster said.
"I lied." Joe said scowling at Web.
Once they reach the nurses station, three nurses practically barrelled out the door and threw themselves at Joe; it was Rebecca, Rachael, and Elizabeth. Usually he basked in their attention, but he wasn't in the mood. He tried to get into the station but the girls already had their arms in his.
Defeated he turned and walked in the direction of the lake. He turned in time to see Gabrielle turn from her window. Did he see him with the girls? It was kinda hard to miss. Like a dog that had been kicked he followed the girls to the lake.
