"Well aren't you going to Wilkommen me back to France?" asked Isaac. "I had to go to great lengths to get back." Felix glared back and didn't answer. Isaac continued, "I must congratulate you on how well you've done in my absence. The resistance had been doing well to oppose my incompetent arschloch of a replacement. Would you like to hear my story?" Felix opened his mouth to deliver an insult but before he could Isaac began his story.
"So I was transferred to Russia in our opening days of the offensive there. I had been deceived into thinking my command would be worthwhile but really it was to stay behind the offensive front and do nothing. So I had to create something to do. All in all over thirty villages were burned to the ground and the people shot. It was very fun. For example I came upon this one house with a man, his mother, and his uncle. I think he was Pierce or something like that. Well this uncivilized young man decides to attack me so naturally I kick him unconscious."
"Then you shot him." quipped Felix.
"Not yet, I was in the habit of trying to save my bullets I crushed his head in with my boot. Well I assume his mother had a weak heart because now she collapsed and died leaving the uncle all alone. Well I felt so badly for him I just had to shoot him then. Well anyways, I went to another town a few days later where this old man was their leader I suppose. He called himself Maha I think? Anyways he was trying to convince me there were no Jews in his town. I hadn't even asked yet. Why say there were no Jews if you haven't been asked hmm? Well because there are Jews. We found them and it turned out this Maha was a Jew. Well we took him and his other Jew dogs and shot them, a sort of purification if you will like they used to in the old days of the first Reich."
"So if I were Jewish would you purify me?"
"If? I know you are Jewish." Felix froze. If this Nazi colonel knew than he must know his sister was as well. "I found out thanks to your sister. She is very sweet. She talk about you often and how you are her hero. Also you see, she insisted upon raising her baby as a Jew so it was obvious. Oh, you didn't know? She's going to have a baby. It must have been when I was on leave a few months ago and paid her a visit. Our interlude lasted only a few days but it sufficed. Now you will be the uncle to a Nazi's child."
At this Felix tried leaping out of his chair but was brought back down by Ivan who was waiting behind him with a rope. Though Felix struggled he was being suffocated. Isaac gave the signal and Ivan released Felix, whose neck burned from the rope.
"So now that you are calm I shall go on. I was transferred to the front lines and did very well there. Interesting fact, the Russians use women to fight they are so desperate. I came upon a pair who turned out to be sisters. I never heard their names, it's difficult to speak when you are shot, but some large man, I think he called himself Agatio, he was with them. Those Russians… Anyways, however great of a job I did, the Fuhrer, who is known as the Wise One by some, began to make some decisions that weren't all to wise. I saw the writing on the wall and asked Ivan here to assassinate my replacement. He had been doing so poorly that they would beg to get me back. Everything worked out and I made my triumphant return. Actually I've been keeping a low profile but I've been back for some time. Tell me, was it a friend of yours who lost his legs to a mine? We found one so we assume he lost the other as well."
Felix couldn't believe it. "You were responsible? You did that?"
"Oh my you overestimate me. All I did was order those woods be filled with mines, that's all. Someone else dug the hole and placed it in, don't give me all the credit. However it is getting late and I must report to my office. Let me tell you what will happen. I know that the war is lost for the third Reich. We've gone too far and too fast. I'm not very fond of the Nazis myself. Their propaganda is false and I never even read Mein Kampf. It gave me an excuse to kill, that's all. Besides, we will be unable to win by now so I've already made preparations to escape. I enjoy Canada very much, and my French is very good as you can hear so I should blend in well. I don't like to leave a job unfinished though. You want to kill me, and I want to kill you. I also want your entire resistance so I shall make you a deal. I will arrange to have a massive convoy go through the woods. Get everyone of your resistance movement who you know. We will be waiting in ambush but I assure you that I will be there. It will be your only chance to kill me. The odds won't be in your favor but regardless, the outcome will be fair no matter what. One of us will be dead. Do you accept?"
Felix did. The decision tore him apart but it was worth the risk of a few dozen resistance fighters for the chance of killing this man. This man had been responsible for so much and never seemed to frown. All he had done was destroy and he always bore a smile. Just a chance was all Felix wanted. They decided on a location and time, and took an oath that they would be there.
"Oh and Felix, now that you are willing we need to make it convincing that you struggled to find this information out, so I hope you can see the necessity of the next five minutes." Ivan and Isaac beat Felix severely until that time was up. When they departed Isaac said, "Until our meeting takes place, best wishes."
