Loose lips sink ships

Ren felt a shock of electricity fo through his body as this happened his body stiffened like a board and he fell on his side, the shock wave was making his body convulse and his fingers knarl up into fists, in a couple seconds it was gone,

what in the world just happened, ouch my body is sore. I need to rest I'm probably just dehydrated, and my body is reacting weird.

Spot sat and looked at Ren for a second as Ren drank some water from a canteen then cupped his hand to give some to Spot, he drank a little and was still looking at Ren then Ren pulled out some bread and cheese, and shared that with the cub.

In town rumors of the murder of Mary's father were spreading like wild fire first it was the SS who did it then the resistance, then it was SS in cahoots with the resistance a constable was then blamed for taking a bribe for some reason,

it was all stupid small town talk.

No evidence to back any of that up ,

the only evidence was a shell casing that was accidentally kicked under a shelf by a good samaritan trying to help Mary's father.

As the chaos of the Baker ensued another rumor had started it involved Ren and Adam's uncle's house burning down, they said a boy was staying there girl mad at the old man and burned the old mans bedroom first and watched him burn to death .

All rumors no truth it happens in all small towns Adam said, but still I need to check on Ren,

Adam left in a hurry and went to his uncle's, he returned a couple hours later, grabbed Mary by the hand and told her to follow him outside, Adam was distraught and and almost in tears, Ren is gone and the house burned down.

I searched the rubble and found the burnt body of bear he had a bullet hole in his head.

But I couldn't find Ren or Spots body either they ran away from someone or Ren was taken and Spot took off.

We have to get ahold of the resistance and tell them what's going on.

The city drew closer Ren's mother got more nervous with every passing second, as she rode in the back of the truck hidden under some hay.

Two miles before they make town the truck is supposed to pull over and let them out.

Rebecca was silent most of the time,

uneasiness set in as she realized she's back in the old country, ex said almost there I think five more miles, the truck stopped at the destination and all four silently slipped out and into the forest, in the forest that was swarming with bears is a little unnerving and Jerry had been a little jumpy the whole trip maybe it was he's been inactive for a month or so , or maybe its the fact that he's going to see his little brother he hasn't seen since they dumped Ren into his lap .

Jerry's brother and his sister in law couldn't have kids so it was perfect for the situation.

They got Ren a home and no one knows that was the second half of the key.

Also spies would look for two infants not one .

Ot benefits both sides, yet he had an feeling something is wrong.

The walk through the mountains took a little time but the valley Jerry started to recognize in the morning sun.

In the distance where the house was, there was nothing but ashes and rubble, Jerry and the others ran to the remnants of the building and started to look around, any bodies Rebecca asked, everyone replied no.

Ok so there are no signs of bodies so that means they either buried them somewhere or they are prisoners, fan out Rebecca said, North, East, South, West, look for clues any signs of a struggle anything , found something Ex said , in front of where the barn stood was old coagulated blood, looks like three weeks,old .

Ren was heading to his old house or where it stood to try and at least get his bearings.

As he approached the sight he saw three men and a woman standing in front of where the barn was , he immediately got down and grabbed Spot so they wouldn't see him, who is that is that Hazel and her guard standing there then Ren saw guns and started to belly crawl .

Did you see that asked Ex, I thought someone was standing on that hill over there watching us.

Spies Rebecca said ex right flank Jerry left flank

Casper your with me up the middle wait until they get in position and then we go.

Ren lost sight of the people as he started to crawl back the other way Spot was running around thinking Ren was playing a game stop running around your gonna get us caught, too late the bear cub had attracted the attention of the men in the field Rebecca started to run up the hill as the crazy bear cub louder and louder,

then she saw the little boy and he saw her Ren got up with his hands in the air, and started to sob and said let my bear go free you can take me just don't hurt him, it took a second for Rebecca to remember German, her dialect was almost spot on . As she was listening to him his eyes and hair were different from Ben's but the face was a perfect match. What is your name boy Jerry asked, Ren lied and said his name was Tom and he lived in the woods about a mile back that way as Ren pointed North.

Dont lie boy Jerry said, then a tear went down Ren's cheek as he said it's Ren, please don't hurt my bear he's all I have, I love him.

We are not going to hurt him son Rebecca said, because I am your mother.

What ? You are, oh my goodness, Ren ran up and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

What happened here where is my brother Jerry asked, I up in the fields and saw the SS kill them in front of me, I buried them up there on the hill Ren pointed and Jerry was off in a flash, also the neighbor John is buried up there, he died in front of me, I watched as the light left his eyes and I mourned all of them.

Mother tell me, are you going to kill them, no I think Jerry is going to, a howl of pain could be heard Spot ran in between Ren's legs.

I want revenge for them we did nothing but they killed them, I miss them so much.

Rebecca pulled Ren close to her and gave a tight squeeze, don't worry as soon as we can get your brother, we'll get your revenge.
