Sami's turn! But first a little note from Estee:
"Rae (Sukiangel) I love that you are so protective its a family trait I truly love, but please save your rants for your reviewers and not ours. We realize we aren't getting everything right but this is just a fun little fiction we wanted to write and every one has their opinions about it and we welcome them all.
Anon, I apologize for my cousin's rudeness for she some times believes she truly knows everything.
And for your comment about the language yes its a bad translation I know that better than ever but the translator I have on my phones were only to be used for Swedish because I adopted a dog trained in Swedish. But did not know this till i contacted his old vet for his records. I needed the translator to talk to my dog not for writing purposes. But Maci found it and demanded we try it out and trying to convince her other wise is like telling a toddler not to touch something. Lol she's a little on the stubborn side. I'm sorry if the bad translation offended. And we will take your advise. It was getting to be a little bit of a hassle to translate everything anyway. But we have to say we tried! We are still keeping the translations for the code names though.
And Rae, I'm not named after Oma Esther. I'm named after mom's favorite high school English teacher who's name was actually Estee Bakker. Yeah just an interesting fact! Lol and I'm not just Dutch and Russian. I'm also German and African American... Remember that's the reason I'm allergic to the sun you used to call me albino when we were kids because I'm so fair skinned. Just sayin."
Thank you Estee for that little note. Rae I love ya but I swear the family protectiveness you and Estee's family has is crazy some times.
And to all the other reviewers thank you so much for reviewing, we promise to keep Rae at bay. I think she's a little tough on the reviews on this fic because Estee wouldn't let her join in on it then let Liz. But Estee had words with her and she promised to only review when it comes to our writing and not what you all review so don't be scared to review! Believe me, Estee may only be a month older than Rae but Estee's family also believes in seniority. No matter the age difference. So Rae sort of has to listen to Estee or be disrespectful. So please
BRING ON THE REVIEWS!
Oh and the stashed radio bit in this chapter was my doing. I wasn't 100 percent sure how we were going to get a hold of Easy company and well we kind of were avoiding this part of the story in our conversation today so I came up with this idea. I'm sure Estee will kick my butt when she reads it and then tell me how we really could have done it but history isn't my forte. And I'm sure we'll get some reviews on the matter so my apologies ahead of time! But if you do have a better idea let us know so I can change it before Estee has a chance to read it hehe.
The girls went back to their rooms in silence. When their door was shut they sat on their beds almost daring each other to say what they were all thinking.
"We just lost our commanding officer." Sami said finally breaking the silence. "She had all the plans, the code words we were to use if something happened. How the hell are we going to contact the men!"
Liz bit her lower lip. "Um actually, I know them too. Because something like this was one of the plans. If we were found out, Estee would give herself up so we could continue. She didn't tell you because she knew you guys wouldn't let her do it if you knew."
"Damn right we wouldn't have!" Diana demanded. "We don't know what those bastards could be doing to her!"
"We have to stay calm. And remember when all else fails speak Dutch." Maci said. The girls smiled and laid back down. When Liz was sure the other girls had finally fallen asleep she slipped out of the house and raced down the road a couple miles where Estee had stashed a radio. She at once did what Estee had tough her and a very familiar voice came back in response.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Luz looked at his radio confused. He didn't remember the last time something came over it. But he knew that voice well. But what he didn't understand was the message coming over it.
"Nixon! Nixon! Please come in." Liz's voice said in a hushed, frightened voice. "Nixon! If any friend of the fabulous five can hear this I must talk to Nixon."
"You're coming in loud and clear Sugar." Luz replied. "Nixon is on his way."
Luz threw a shoe at Toye and woke him up from a deep sleep. Toye sat up at once and almost fell off his bed.
"What the hell Luz?" Toye demanded as he rubbed his eyes.
"I have Liz on the radio and she is demanding to talk to Nixon." Luz said. Toye gave him a confused look. He didn't understand how Luz could be talking to Liz, till he heard her frightened voice.
"Please hurry. I don't have much time." Liz almost seemed to beg. Toye got out of bed at once and raced out of the room.
"He will be here any moment know. Liz are you ok?" Luz asked trying his best to keep Liz calm.
"I can't say." Liz said in such a soft whisper that he barely heard her. "I can't wait for him any longer. Luz please write this down."
Luz quickly grabbed a pencil from the desk between his and Toye's bed and then grabbed his note pad.
"Ok Sugar, what is it?" Luz asked feeling a little nervous at the sound of Liz's panicked voice.
"Problemen discovered. Market Garden ASAP." Liz replied. "I must go. Please make sure he gets that at once."
"Sugar what's going on?" Luz asked getting eve more nervous. But Liz didn't respond. "Sugar?"
Nixon practically busted into the room but froze when he saw the look on Luz's face. Nixon looked like he had been woken from a restless sleep. His hair was tousled and he had heavy bags under his eyes. "Did you loose her?"
Luz nodded and handed the note over to Nixon. Luz could tell Nixon had to read it a couple of times before the meaning sunk in. He looked up at the men wide eyed.
"I want no word of this to any one." Nixon demanded. "Not about any of this. As of know, you know nothing about getting contact from Liz. Understood?"
Toye and Luz nodded and Nixon rushed off. He had to go find Sink. Waking up the man was a little tough but when he realized what the situation was he got up immediately.
"So tell me this again." Sink said a little confused. He could have sworn he said Estee had gotten herself captured.
"Estee has been captured by the Germans and the girls seem to be a little freaked." Nixon replied. "Liz seems to want us to attempt to move up our attempts to drop into Holland and take control of the bridges. But they haven't sent us any entail on them. We have no clue what the Germans are using to protect the bridges or if they even suspect an attack."
Sink sighed heavily. "I have faith in these girls. I know they are upset about Estee at the moment, Liz more than the others. Liz hasn't realized that Estee seems to have a bad habit of getting captured or getting into trouble. Wait till they contact us again then I will get a hold of General Taylor. Good work Nixon."
Nixon nodded. "Thank you sir."
He walked out of the room with a heavy sigh. He just prayed Estee was ok. He knew about what happened to her back in France. She was a strong girl as long as she didn't let the fear of what happened before get to her. He just wasn't sure how he would be able to keep such a thing from Winters.
Nixon went back to his room and sat down on his bed.
"What's going on?" Welsh asked from his bed. "Any thing I need to get out of bed for?"
Nixon sighed heavily. "Estee has been captured."
Welsh shot up in bed. "What!"
Nixon hushed him then sighed heavily again. "I know what your thinking. And i thought the same thing. But this has to stay between us. Dick doesn't know where the girls are. Just you, me and Sink."
Welsh shook his head. "Are we sure she can handle this? I told you we should have worked with her. What happened to her last time still affects her."
Nixon nodded. "I don't think she'll ever forget being captured then her Ex and Liebgott finding her. Let alone that boy getting shot to protect her."
Welsh shook his head. "She still hasn't told any one has she?"
Nixon looked up over at him confused. "What happened?"
"A lot more than getting slapped around is all I know." Welsh replied. "But she did tell me more happened. She just didn't say what."
Nixon groaned and laid down in his bed. He knew sending the girls to Holland was a bad idea. They should have stayed with them. Safe and protected with the Easy men. The army gave the girls too much credit in his opinion. In reality the girls were simple small town girls that had been sheltered from the world their whole lives. And know they were thrown into this war. They may. Have been in their twenties, but they had the life experiences of young teen girls. He had seen that first hand from time to time when they became giggly over the simplest things. But then again, that could be his overly sober mind talking. Maybe it was him not giving them enough credit.
What ever the case was he hoped the last part was the truth.

Sami woke early the next day just before the sun. She looked over at her sleeping friends and sighed as she remembered what had happened the night before. She knew every one would be worried about Estee, but they still had a job to do. She put on one of her dressed and snuck down stairs so the other girls wouldn't wake up.
"Good morning Sanne." Oma said with a sad smile. "What are you doing up so early."
"I need to take a look at the bridge." Sami replied. Oma nodded and handed Sami a whicker basket.
"I need some supplies. Would you like to go get them for me?" Oma said with a smile.
"There are places open this early?" Sami said in awe.
"Only the best places." Oma replied then gave Sami directions. Sami nodded and headed out the door. She had no clue what she was getting her self into as she walked down the road. She let her self get taken away by the town. It reminded her of her home town back in Iowa. Before she knew it she was standing in front of the house Oma had described. She knocked on the door and it open slightly.
"Hello, I'm Sanne Bakker. Grandma sent me for some supplies." Sami said with an innocent smile. The door opened the rest of the way and Sami walked in to see a group of men and a few young boys in the front room.
"You are the American spies?" One of the men asked. Sami was taken back. She wasn't sure how she was to respond to the group know. They could be a friend or foe. The man seemed to since her uneasiness. "We are the German resistance. And would welcome any help the Americans can offer."
"I don't have much to offer at the moment." Sami said sadly. "But a friend of mine has been taken just last night. I need any entail you have about the bridges. The more I know, the quicker we can enter Holland."
The man seemed to consider this then offered Sami a seat. He and the rest of the men told her every thing they had at the moment. Even that Estee had been sent to a different town. They weren't sure where but knew she was no longer in Son. Sami took everything in that they said and and thanked them. Sami stood for a moment then stopped.
"Why did you trust me so easily?" Sami asked the man smiled.
"Your eyes. There was no lie in your eyes." He replied. "More of a since of urgency."
Sami nodded and quickly made it back to Oma's house just as the other girls were getting up. "We need to get a hold of Sink. He's going to want to hear this."
The girls stared at her then exchanged glances. Sami rolled her eyes and threw her pillow at Maci. "I got a hold of the German resistance and they told me everything they know. Even that the German's have moved Estee to the next town. So Liz take me to that radio Estee had stashed when she thought we were sleeping."
Liz blinked at the girl as she tried to comprehend what she was saying. Then jumped out of bed when if finally clicked.
"You two stay here with Oma. If any soldiers come just remember speak Dutch. No matter how mad they make you Maci." Sami said. Maci stuck her tongue out at Sami's back as she left with Liz.
"Do you think this entail will help speed things along?" Liz asked. "Because I'm starting to miss my uniform. These dresses can't hid to many medical supplies."
Sami smiled. "I hope so. Only gone. A day and I already miss the guys."
Liz found the radio. And got a hold of Nixon. Sami then took over and. Told him every thing she had been told.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Sink hung up the phone and smiled at Nixon. "Get the men ready. We will be in Holland in a weeks time. Tell the girls to hold tight. Stay low if possible."
Nixon nodded. He headed out to find Welsh. If he couldn't tell Winters about it. He could at least tell Welsh.
"So have they found Estee?" Welsh asked. Nixon shook his head.
"No, but they believe they took her to another town." Nixon replied. "We jump in a week. We need to pick five men to jump with extra gear. The girls will need there things. I'm going to volunteer myself."
Welsh nodded. "So will I. Better have Roe take Liz's. He knows better than any of us what she needs."
Nixon nodded. "I think Toye would be another good pick. Since Luz has the radio he doesn't need that extra gear. But since Toye has some knowledge of what's going on."
Welsh nodded. "I think you or I should take Estee's gear."
Nixon shrugged. "Or a replacement. I'll ask for volunteers. Randleman will pick a man if none of his replacements volunteer. We just wont let him know why."
Welsh nodded. "Good. The less men that know about the girls' mission the better."
"My thought exactly." Nixon replied.
The men were silent for a moment but Welsh had some thing on his mind and he had to ask. "So Dick still knows nothing about this?"
Nixon shook his head. "None of the guys who are involved with the girls know about their mission. We figured they'd walk into Holland with guns blazing."
"Who will walk into Holland with Guns blazing?" Winters asked walking in. His two friends fell silent and he was starting to thing his friends had just been talking about him.
"Dog. We're heading to Holland. And Easy is on the front line." Nixon replied. "Are you ready to be debriefed?"
Winters nodded. Nixon smiled and took a drink from one of his flasks. "Then lets go."
