Jeannie thought her master was playing a very dangerous game, but she also knew not to underestimate Anthony. She made the plane appear in the place Master told her to, as well as altering Nelson and Healey's files and back stories to make it appear as if they were Russian spies. Now she had to do her most distasteful part of Master's plan, conversing with that dreadful Colonel Hogan.

Jeannie was typing away outside Colonel Klink's office when Hogan suavely approached.

"I Dream of Jeannie with the light blond hair..." The Senior POW Crooned.

Jeannie just rolled her eyes as she acted that she did not notice Newkirk take Nelson and Healey's files out of a cabinet on the other side of the room while Hogan attempted to 'distract' her. Jeannie only had eyes for one officer, and he was not an Air Corps Colonel.

Hogan persisted, "So Jeannie, when do you have a lunch break?"

Jeannie looked up and said, "I will be busy all day."

The Senior POW continued, "C'mon, I can have LeBeau whip something up. It won't take long..."

Jeannie then went along with her master's instructions, and allowed Hogan to believe that he was distracting her while Newkirk photographed the contents of the files. As soon as Jeannie indicated that some lunch might be good, Le Beau was bringing in the soup, followed by an entree and then finally, a mousse for dessert. The meal took over an hour, more than ample time for the British Corporal to replace the files. Afterwards, Jeannie returned to work- and Hogan went on to other duties.

After lights out, in the wee hours of the following morning, Hogan and his men were going over the photos recently developed of Nelson and Healey's files.

Carter broke the silent pondering, "There's nothing there."

Newkirk agreed, "Just the basic info... heck, they Gerry's have more info on me..."

Hogan observed, "That's just it. They have more info on all of us. We deliberately let the Germans have some misinformation on us, or they would think we are spies (which we are). The fact that Nelson and Healey's record is so lacking sets off alarms in my head. I think it's time I had a chat with the two majors. Kinch, wake them up and bring them to my office."

The Colonel and his men quietly made it up into the barracks. Hogan went into his office, while Kinch went to wake Nelson and Healey. But when Kinch arrived at the two Major's bunks, they were empty.

A voice in the dark said, "I think they are gone, Sergeant."

Kinch quietly hissed, "What?!"

Captain Alfred Bellows repeated, "I believe the men you are looking for have decided to leave our little camp, Sergeant."

Staff Sergeant Kinchloe then ordered, "Well, I believe Colonel Hogan would like to speak with you, sir."

Hogan heard a knock on his door. "Enter," He invited.

Hogan expected Kinch, but did not expect Bellows. The Colonel also did not see the majors he summoned.

The Senior POW looked at Kinch and demanded, "Where's Nelson and Healey?"

Kinch replied, "Colonel, the captain has information on that."

Exasperated, Hogan looked at Bellows and ordered, "Well man, Report!"

Captain Bellows came to attention and said, "Sir, about a half hour ago, Majors Nelson and Healey snuck out of the barracks. Well sneaking out is a generous term. They were so loud I almost think they were trying to get my attention, and Nelson actually bumped into my rack."

Hogan was trying to process all what Bellows was saying. This was bad. An escape would cause all sorts of unwanted attention on Stalag 13.

The colonel told the captain, "Go get Sergeant Carter, as well as Corporals Newkirk and LeBeau, on the double."

Kinch just looked at Hogan, dumbfounded. Within seconds, the rest of Hogan's crew was in the office. Hogan ordered Bellows to wait outside. Hogan then proceeded to explain to the others that their suspected Russian spies just escaped.

Carter said, "Well let's go get them!"

Kinch explained, "It's almost count time. We can't be on the other side of the wire, or it will expose us."

Newkirk contributed, "What about the resistance?"

Hogan replied, "We will need to use them, but I'm afraid they may just shoot our Soviet friends. No love lost between the NKVD and the Germans."

LeBeau muttered, "No big loss there."

The Colonel continued, "Maybe not. But we need our Russian friends for intelligence purposes. Not to mention the fact that a couple of bullet ridden prisoners on the other side of the wire might bring Burkharter, Hochstetter, and all sorts of other people from German HQ looking into the goings on here at little old Stalag 13."

Finally Kinch asked, "What were you thinking, Colonel?"

Hogan's answer surprised his men, "I think we are going to need to trust Bellows. Send the good Captain in, and alert the resistance to be prepared for a mission."

Bellows did not know what to expect when he entered Hogan's office. What the young captain learned that morning, however, exceeded his wildest imagination.

Hogan got very serious and said, "Captain, I need to know if you are willing to go on a mission vital to the war effort. I will not order you to go, and cannot go into detail until you agree to the mission. What I can tell you is that it is extremely dangerous, that you possibly could be under fire from more than one source. If you are captured, you will be totally on your own. Whatever you hear or see from this point on never happened. Do you understand?"

Alfred looked thoughtful, and replied, "Yes, Colonel, I will do whatever is needed for my country."

The Senior POW directed, "Good man, Red, I thought you would say that. Follow me."

The Colonel led the astonished Captain down a staircase under a bunk. There was a huge underground chamber with a radio. Kinchloe, Carter, Newkirk, and LeBeau were all down there.

Hogan explained, "We conduct intelligence and sabotage operation from here under Stalag 13. Some of the reasons that there never has been a successful escape from this camp is that it lulls the Germans into a sense of false confidence as well as warding off unwanted attention."

The young captain only was able to say, "Astonishing."

The senior officer continued, "We need you to lead a resistance group to bring Nelson and Healey back to Stalag 13 alive and unharmed before count. Somebody has to be with the resistance fighters to make sure the two majors come back alive. I or one of my men would go, but it could totally bring down our operation if we were caught up in an escape scheme. Not to mentioned what it would do to U.S. Intelligence operation if Healey and Nelson are Soviet agents and are able to capture one of us. Bellows, you are just another new prisoner to the Germans and Nelson and Healey. If you are captured by either the Germans or the Soviets, your story is that you saw the two majors escape and took the opportunity to free yourself from the Luftstalag. Understood?"

Captain Alfred Bellows came to attention, saluted, and acknowledged, "Yes Sir!"
