Roger looked at Tony as he had finally lost his mind. Healey repeated, "Colonel Robert Hogan is conducting some sort of intelligence operation from within Stalag 13?"

Nelson replied, "Yes, I know it sounds crazy. We don't dare talk any more about this here." Tony then ordered quietly, "Jeannie!"

Jeannie appeared instantly, immediately apologizing, "Master, I am sorry about not telling you about filling in as Colonel Klink's secretary. But I felt it was a way to help you."

Tony interrupted, "We'll talk about that later. Right now we need to get out of here to talk, can you help us?"

"Yes, Master!" Jeannie blinked, and the three of them were instantaneously in a Persian tent. Roger and Tony were wearing the best silk robes from Baghdad.

Nelson sighed, "Really Jeannie, a tent? And these robes?"

Jeannie explained, "It is cold out master. Plus there is no reason not to be comfortable."

Roger, taking a sip of is coffee, agreed, "Wouldn't want to get frost bite."

Tony knew he wouldn't win this argument, so he started explaining, "I feel foolish for not seeing this before, but everything we've seen so far would point to Colonel Hogan running intelligence missions from the camp. When you think about it, it's the perfect cover. Plus look at Hogan vs. Klink and Schultz. I've read Hogan's articles about military intelligence. He is an expert in the field. I imagine Klink got his rank through political connections, and Schultz is a veteran whose time to retire has come and gone. Not to mention the fact that we know Hogan ended up running NSA, Kinch ended up being a high ranking intelligence officer, and the others kept close contact with Hogan. And yet nobody has ever escaped from Stalag 13."

Healey asked, "What does it have to do with Dr. Bellows?"

Nelson continued, "Think about it, Roger. How many times have we had to alter plans because of Bellow's natural curiosity? How many times were we walking on eggshells? It must be the same way for Hogan in the camp. Having Bellows snooping around must get in the way of Hogan's missions."

Jeannie wondered, "Why did Dr. Bellows walk and talk in his sleep after he reunited with General Hogan?"

Tony answered her, "I'm not totally sure, Jeannie. My guess is Hogan eventually got Bellows transferred to get him out of his hair. I doubt Dr. Bellows ever found out what was really going on here, but left with very strong suspicions that something was off. Captain Bellows had already reported to me about strange things going on. Upon returning home from the war Dr. Bellows finished his medical training and re-joined the service. Unfortunately, we have peaked the good doctor's suspicions over the past few years. And then seeing both Hogan along with Roger and I together over 20 years from now really stirred up his conspiracy theories."

Roger then inquired, "What can we do to fix the situation?"

Nelson thought about it a minute, then suggested, "Maybe we can try to somehow get Hogan to trust Bellows enough to let him in on what is really going on here. Then the captain would not be so suspicions, and Dr. Bellows may not talk in his sleep. I'm not sure how we can do that, but maybe if we all worked on it we'll come up with something. Jeannie you can remain Klink's secretary. Keep an eye on both Colonels."

Jeannie acknowledged the order, "Yes Master!"

Like most men his age, Hans Schultz had to get up in the middle of the night to relieve himself. The Sergeant of the Guard was wide awake and could not fall back asleep at 2:00 AM. He finished off the dessert his wife had made and figured he may as well do some rounds to make sure the graveyard shift was still awake. His eyesight wasn't as good as it was before, but he could have sworn he saw something in the woods several yards outside the gate. He decided rather than get a full patrol together, the Sergeant just grabbed his Mauser and hopped in a truck to drive out and investigate.

When Schultz entered the clearing, he could barely believe what he saw. It was a grand Persian tent in the middle of the forest! As he tried to quietly approach the canvas menagerie, Major Healey appeared in the doorway of the tent. The American was clad in Persian silk, and looked as surprised as the German!. Startled, Schultz reached for the Mauser. The rifle accidentally discharged, firing a round harmlessly into the ground. Almost instantly, Stalag 13's sirens pierced the night. Shultz looked back towards the camp, and when he turned back around- the tent was gone! There was no sign that it ever had been there!

Shultz just muttered, "I see nothing! Nothing! No more late night strudel!"

The Sergeant of the Guard returned to camp while the mandatory emergency count was being conducted. Schultz also came face to face with an unhappy looking Kommandant.

Klink demanded, "Sergeant Schultz report."

Schultz paused, "Ya vol Herr Kommandant. I was investigating suspicious activity in the woods my weapon accidentally discharged." The Sergeant cut his report short when he saw Major Healey, in uniform, standing in formation nearby. There was no way the American could get back that quickly. Colonel Hogan must have something to do with this. Schultz thought.

Klink then asked the tower guard, "Private did you see anything?"

The private crisply reported, "Nein, Herr Kommandant, I sounded the alarm and called for the emergency count when I heard gunfire near the camp."

The German Colonel commended his man, "As you should have. Very good Private, there may be a promotion in your near future." Then he ordered the Sergeant, "Schultz, get the prisoners back to the barracks. I'm going back to bed."

Schutz responded, "Ya vol!" Then to the prisoners the Sergeant ordered, "Raus! Raus!"

Newkirk used the confusion to inform Hogan that neither Nelson or Healey were in their bunks around 0130 when he checked.

Hogan asked the Brit, "When did they return?"

The RAF Corporal replied, "They just appeared right before count."

That troubled Hogan. It might be nothing, but it could be something bad. Very bad. Not many people have the skills to disappear in a Luftstalag and reappear just before an unscheduled emergency count, not even a camp as lax as Stalag 13. The American Colonel caught up with his communications NCO.

"Kinch!" Hogan called out.

"Yes Colonel," The Staff Sergeant acknowledged.

Hogan ordered, "Have CID and G2 do a deep background check on Bellows, Healey, and Nelson. I know we already had intel do a records check- but now I need boots on the ground to find out who these people really are."

Kinch did a two fingered mock salute, and rushed down to his radio to get the investigation underway.
