Chapter Six
"Let's face it. There's something fishy about Britain's story. It's more realistic to say that he was murdered." His gaze swept across the room. But it landed dead on Britain. How did he know? Britain started trembling. "Well-well why would someone try to kill him? I mean-" He stopped in mid sentence. All eyes were on him.
"Well, obviously someone that didn't like him, right?" His glare unnerved Britain. I see what you're getting at, you bastard. He balled up his fists. "America and I may not be the best of friends, but I can't say I disliked him." He let every word leave his tongue with meaning.
Germany nodded. "I never doubted your innocence, did I? Unless, there is something you're not telling us." That asshole! Britain gritted his teeth. Damn him! But he calmly replied. "That's all I know."
After the meeting, Britain pulled Japan aside. "I think he knows," The Englishman breathed. Japan nodded. "We only confirmed his suspicions." Britain sighed. "What are we going to do?" Japan gave him a grim look. "There is only one thing to do. We must kill Germany."
Britain gasped. "But isn't he your-"
"Not anymore," Japan replied. He put his hand on Britain's shoulder. "It's okay. Anything to protect your secret. But I just wonder…what would America do?"
They stood there in silence. "You really looked up to him," Britain commented. "Yes," Japan agreed. "He showed me that the world is filled with surprises. Not that I like surprises. But he said to me that it's like an adventure. You don't know what to expect next." Britain was swept back into the past. America was little then. they were standing near the port.
"I love traveling, Mister Britain!" America cried. "There is always something waiting to be discovered. Everyday is like an adventure. You just don't know what to expect next!"
Britain chuckled. "Well then. That's an interesting way of thinking."
Japan tapped Britain on the shoulder, and he was in the present again. "Sorry I-" Japan nodded, his eyes full of understanding. "It's okay. Now, our plan is to strike tonight."
