Vendettas for the dead and damned ch. 2
A/N: I do not own codename verity only my OCs. Any reviews will be nice
Looking up at the beams of the light dropping through the slats of the wooden floor above them Richard whispered
"Mate I swear to god if they don't move on soon I will kill them myself" and Chris punched his shoulder and in a soft yet sharp tone snapped back
"Yeah and do what get us all killed?" and as pissed off as Richard was he knew that Chris had a point and he just hung his head and started to sharpen his knife as he looked up and heard a rustling and yelling and the boys looked at each other Chris saw the crazed look in Richards eyes as it reminded him of the time their family farm which was near Christian's, was burned the ground by some white Klansmen as revenge for his trying to date a black girl and his out spoken opinions as well as his dads hiring procedures. Grabbing his best friends wrist Chris growled as they heard the audible CLAAACCKK of the mp40
"Don't do it I know what you are thinking but they will kill us all if they catch us and you want to ruin our lives cause damn it I have a wedding to go to" and Richard said in a tone he instantly regretted
"Don't you mean a funeral and you know those bastards pissed on me" and as Chris was going to punch him Richard smiled and said
"Also too fucking bad Im doing it anyways" and pushed the trapdoor to the resistance hideout up and locking his hand around the closest soldiers neck as Chris decided to join him and wrapped the garrote wire, as that was what he had been messing with at the time, around another troopers throat and rammed his knee into the man's back and pulled back slicing into his skin pouring the crimson liquid onto the dirt turning it into a dark mud which reminded them of home and he whispered
"Julie sends her regards you kraut fuck" and snapped his knee into his spine with more force and they were rewarded with an audible crack as his neck snapped. Hiding the bodies which was an unceremonious drop into the hog pen and Richard said
"Hey L at least he now smells like he looks" and they saw that Chris cracked a smile then flashed his middle finger to his friend before saying
"Come on we have a job to do" as they had just seen the blood so easily covered with sawdust and hay. Looking at the Partisans who had put their lives on the line Richard looked at them and said
"Thank you for the help you gave us and we will never forget and are in your debt" and was stunned to hear the leader say
"You both can repay us by liberating our country and lieutenant know your cousin didn't die in vain" and Chris said solemnly
"I know and again we thank you for all you did now boys let's get a move on those bridges wont sink themselves" which got the group smiling as they all were itching for a fight and without so much as another word to betray their final destination they all slid into the inky black darkness of the night anticipating the kill count to grow before the night was done. As they smiled into the night they all waited for the trucks in the barn to blow up as the man who owned the barn and the farm was leaving and would make it to the city and from there to a smuggling route for French partisans to England. As the boys turned around they were met with a bright flash and the audible screams of the Wehrmacht on guard detail as they blew up the barn sending up a mass of secondary blasts as the fuel and ammo cooked off turning the night into day. Taking advantage of the light that he was given Chris had his friend David, who was carrying the radio and the best map they had, check the map for the target and David looked up and smiled sadistically saying
"we are a couple of klicks away from the target and the area's flak guns then the next landing force will arrive hopefully with less fire than we had and we can do more hunting and end the war quickly". Hearing that they all adjusted their packs and grabbed the dark brown packs of explosives and they slowly lowered themselves into the water and slithering like water snakes they pulled up under the bridge and slammed and tied the bags and even sank a couple like stones into the murky water and as they were finishing up a wrench dropped into the water with a sickening splash and Chris said
"Hurry up we have to go now because we will have company soon then the shit will hit the fan" which got the whole unit into the shadows and Chris who was good at acting like a lost citizen said in perfect French
"Excuse me sir but I seem to have lost my way I'm trying to find the chateau detorie" and as the man went to yell but then provided instruction on "where to go to get your lazy ass back to work" Chris growled like a wild animal and the last words that man heard were
"Merci now die you bastard swine" and the pistol in his hand made a sharp chuff as the man fell backwards with his skull blown all over the countryside and the boys didn't care if they were spotted and they took off running and as Chris was bathed in light and the MG42s started opening up he yelled
"Showtime you dumb bastards" and clicked the detonator causing a tremendous flash of light and a ungodly roar like a dragon of old was trying to free itself then silence as the bridge fell into the water Chris signed
"that's done now I have a little hunting to do" as the man he had killed had a paper regarding the Nacht und Nebel and Chris had silently vowed revenge.
