Vendettas for the dead and the damned
A/N: I do not own Codename verity and only my OCs any reviews will be appreciated
As the C47 dakota started to shudder the pilot tried to pull up out of the line of fire and the right engine finally gave out and blew up and the mixed contingent of the devils brigade and the SOE and OSS decided it was time to go and lt. Christian Davidson who was a brown haired, grey eyed 19 year old with a chip on his shoulder he yelled
"Hook up and out the door you sons of bitches and you know what to do" and he jumped out right as the plane started to dutch roll and crash as both pilots and the jumpmaster had died under the volley of fire and he sang
"The days he lived and love and laughed kept running through his mind he thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find" and he rolled when he hit the ground wrapping up his chute and then buried it along with the others chutes just like he was taught during training. As his mind flashed back to the training he remembered the hazing that he suffered and he muttered
"well damn the brits are total dicks" as he felt the pack of high explosives slamming into his ribcage and he moaned and muttered
"Damn it I hope I didn't break any ribs you limey bastards" and his second in command, a Canadian by the name of Richard murphy said
"brother if you can talk your ribs are still intact so for the love of god quit your bitching because we have a lot to do so lets get started" and as he nodded Christian found a note left for him by the resistance that they were to meet and it said
"Perseus my boy I have a bit of very bad news as it involves your cousin" and he recognized the picture of Julie and he just hung his head and said with the british accent he practiced for when he would go to the family reunion at the castle and he said
"ma lady the kraut bastards will be burning in hell before you are interred and I plan to make it to the funeral" and as he wiped tears from his eyes he grabbed his suppressed Johnson LMG and his V42 combat knife as well as his personal suppressed .45 1911 and a length of garrote wire he had wrapped around extra parachute cord and he wiped the tears away and said rose
"Come on boys we have huns to kill" and they all knew what he was doing that for and they all said "yes sir" before the split off to go their separate ways and he opened his jacket and saw the rose that ulie wanted to hold at her wedding which would never happen and he muttered
"cousin its going to be the damned huns who will join you before I do so know I still love you" and he dropped to his belly as he waited for a convoy of axis generals to approach to be taken out for the first operation in preparation for D-Day and his men all saw that their commander who was usually jovial even when it came to behind enemy line operations this time was stone cold serious and said
"boys as soon as the convoy goes down we will hide let the shit die down and then another assassination and wire cutting then we help take the war to them" even though they didn't realize what would await them when they thrust into the Reich. Right as he went to get the radio man to abort the mission and go back to the farm which they had with the rest of the resistance near Orleans and they all had bumped into Maddie who was shocked that Julies cousin was willing to die liberating the French and make sure their ancestral homeland remained forever free.
"Well boys I think we should grab Wendy, which was Maddie's codename in the crew over the radio, and make a run for it don't you think-never mind I hear that son of a bitch coming so get ready" and the unit who had acquired Wehrmacht uniforms and made a walk out from a nearby tavern and started to stop the convoy as the civilians from Orleans resistance cell as well as the Parisian cell asked for smokes and shot dead the other guards as Christian yelled
"Now light them up boys" and the devils brigade sent stick grenades sailing through the air in a slow sinking arc and even Maddie got involved spraying the convoy with a MP40 as did the rest of the resistance with even a MG42 that the unit never asked how the resistance acquired it along with the anti-Nazi Germans helping and he said to the group
"It is time to go because we stirred up a fucking hornets' nest now it's E&E so let's go and good thing we all know French and German as well as Italian" and they all met up and they knew enough to blend in as a Frenchman or German but that was all then they ran back to the farmhouse and as they hid their weapons in trapdoors in the barn the units second in command Richard 'Dick' wilms panted and said
"Just like stealing corn out of old man raymers field eh?" and Christian was back to his usual fun loving self and said in French
"putain, oi passer la alcool merci" and Richard replied as he handed the beer hearing footsteps
"Merde chienne off" and they both knew the fear in his words but neither wanted to die so all they did was slide the knives out for if they were captured they might as well die fighting. Nodding to each other as the footsteps creaked the wood right over them and a orange tinged liquid poured down and Chris bit his lip to keep from laughing as Freddy got pissed on but the laughter stopped as they heard a officer say
"Some of our men will sleep in this barn as well as their motorcycles and the trucks" so the boys kept their voices down and prayed for morning hoping they wouldn't get caught.
