Chapter 5: Answers
Hochstetter yelled loosing his patience with all of this Sasquatch talk. "I want this subject dropped. This creature does not exist."
Hogan squatted down to look Eva in the eye. "You okay?"
She gave a slight nod. "I am fine now."
Hogan picked up right away what she was really saying. "It might have something to do with their migration patterns."
"Hoooogaaaaan!" Hochstetter yelled. "I said enough about that topic! I will personally shoot the next person who mentions this creature. NowFraulein Hoffman, I want you to tell me all you know about this man." Hochstetter pointed to Hogan.
Eva looked at Hochstetter and shrugged. "He has creamy brown eyes, black hair and he is tall. He is an American Colonel and his name is Robert Hogan."
"Go on. Tell me more." Hochstetter demanded.
Eva looked Hogan up and down and smiled. "Which barrack do you stay in?"
Hogan smiled, I really like her. Better not tell Tiger that could pose to be a dangerous mistake. "Two. Are you planning on dropping by for a night cap?"
"Colonel, the only place she is going to be dropping by is solitary confinement and Gestapo headquarters in Berlin." Hochstetter said through gritted teeth.
"Major," Eva spoke up. "I know something else about him. He stays in Barrack two."
"BAH!" Hochstetter yelled loosing his patience. "That is not the information I want to know about him. I want you to tell me that he is Papa Bear and that he is responsible for the underground activity in this area."
Hogan noticed a twinkle in Eva's eye as she asked him "Colonel, are you this Papa Bear and are you responsible for the underground activity in this area?"
Hogan wanted to roll on the floor laughing at the game Eva was playing with Hochstetter. However, he had to remind himself how dangerous of a game it was to keep from laughing. "No."
Eva looked at Hochstetter "Sorry Major, I cannot tell you that. He said it isn't him."
Hochstetter's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "You are not suppose to ask him for the answers. You are suppose to tell me what you already know. I know a person that is as important as you are in the underground would know about Papa Bear."
"Major, I know that the Gestapo will torture a person until they get answers. It doesn't matter that they are the truth. Whoever it was that said I was this Sleeping Beauty was only telling you that to get you to stop. I suppose that when you take me to Berlin, that since you believe I am this Sleeping Beauty, that you will torture me until I give names of the entire underground. Since I don't have the names, I will have to just start naming people." Eva got a devilish grin "I wonder what would happen if I named you as a member of the underground."
Hochstetter drew back his hand to slap her, but stopped when Hogan stood between them. Hochstetter lowered his hand with a scowl. "I believe you are Sleeping Beauty and you will give me the names that I want."
Hogan looked Hochstetter in the eye. "Major, has it ever occurred to you that you might be barking up the wrong trees?"
"Never. The Third Reich is never wrong. Maybe Hogan you will go ahead and confess and save this lovely fraulein from the pain she is going to endure."
Hogan shook his head. "This is a never ending obsession with you isn't it. First you do everything you can to prove that I am Papa Bear and now you are doing the same thing to Ms. Hoffman."
"Scared Hogan?" Hochstetter had an evil grin at the thought of Hogan being scared."Are you afraid of what fraulein Hoffman will tell me? I know I am right about…"
"Waaaarrrrrrah!"
Hochstetter started to turn red. "Not a word about that sound. I know I am right about the both of you and I will get the truth. When I do Hogan, I intend to make you wish you never..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots were heard in the compound. Everyone in Klink's office ran out to see what the shooting was about.
"Was ist los?" Hochstetter yelled
"Herr Major, I saw something large moving around in the woods. I didn't get a good look at it." The guard answered.
I wonder if Newkirk got the costume ready yet? Na, the guys should be getting back with the hair and fur though. No, I pray that it wasn't any of my men they were shooting at.
