As Ren and his mother were having breakfast there was a knock on the door.
Rebecca had to be cautious, no one knew that they were there, she peeked through the spy hole and saw Pete standing there with two other men,
he looked comfortable, not edgy or scared so it was safe to let them in.
Good morning Rebecca Pete greeted her as he walked in, morning to you as well, Rebecca said.
Now these two gentlemen are from the resistance in France this is Phillip and Jean
as Rebecca looked at Phillip she noticed an abnormally large nose and a strong jaw he was skinny but his hands said he had worked all his life, he couldn't be more than thirty five years old he had long brown hair that went to the bottom of his neck.
Jean was a little bit more round and had a chubby baby face, he had very curly brown hair that reminded Rebecca of a French poodle.
Well to get to the point these men need your help,
what do you need Rebecca asked, well we need a distraction so we can infiltrate the SS building we believe that they are holding a prisoner from France and its Phillips brother , how do you suppose we do this ,Rebecca asked as she led the men to the dining room table, as they sat Rebecca offered refreshments, and the Frenchman asked for wine, she obliged and asked if Pete wanted water of milk.
Milk please Pete answered, now getting down to business, as Rebecca returned with the drinks we need some one to lure the SS out of their headquarters and keep them busy for an hour, for that we need a vehicle Rebecca told them, ah yes I was getting to that said Pete, we have a vehicle that we " borrowed " from a couple of towns over , well we have to get all of the soldiers out of there or as many as we can,
These two men will infiltrate the building and look for intel and find Amistad.
I hope he's worth all the trouble of breaking him
out , oh he is Pete interjected, he's second in command of the French resistance.
They need our help Pete said.
So will you help, I need to talk to my men ,
I can't vouch for them, they follow me as a personal favor, I can't tell them what to do.
Fair enough when will you have word on their decision, come back tonight when it gets dark.
I should have an answer for you.
Tonight it is, Pete said, thank you for your hospitality Phillipe and Jean said.
And they were off.
About an hour later Rebecca and her boys were sitting at the table, she explained what was said earlier with Pete, and what was asked,
Ex said what, I hope you didn't say yes,
no I said I had to talk to you guys and see what you say .The war is new in France they have only been fighting for a few weeks.
Ex exclaimed they can find another second in command, maybe someone who won't get captured.
I agree with Ex we can't give up our position even if it is just a diversion, you know statistically hiding is better than out in the open.
Casper said I will do it I am in if you are Rebecca,
Ex and Jerry looked at Casper why ?
Why risk it you are endangering our mission to find the twins, Ex yelled at Casper.
Casper calmly explained that they already found one maybe helping someone will give us some luck for a change, Jerry got up and said he needed to clear his head so he was going for a walk. Jerry wanted a drink but the pub didn't open for a few hours, so whiskey at the general store it is.
Jerry was looking over a small collection of booze when he heard something, it was the shopkeeper and he was talking to his brother
the shopkeeper asked what happened so the brother had said that lady Hazel had been killed by someone along with two of her guards.
That hit Jerry like a ton of bricks the SS had killed Hazel, and his eyes narrowed and his face had turned red, Jerry then calmed down put the bottle back and walked out of the store and went back to the hideout as he entered the others were still discussing the situation and Jerry slammed his hand down on the table and said I'm in .
The others were flabbergasted by his decision so quickly, but in his mind he wanted revenge.
His body was trembling from the hatred,
I want revenge, I am going to get those bastards and make them pay, calm down, calm down
I would like to contribute my services for the cause, Jerry said, everyone looked at him inquisitively, what's wrong with him why all of a sudden a change of heart.
Now it was two to one , Ex are you in he looked at his friends faces and said you guys know I don't have a family this unit is my family, I just don't want to make the wrong decision and have something bad happen to any of you.
You know what FUCK IT I'm in.
Now what fearless leader, Ex said as he shook hands with the other two.
Well supposedly they have a plan and we go along with that.
Ren had just walked in the room and everyone was dead quiet, Ren then asked if they wanted to look at the back yard it was huge he just caught some fish in a pond out back and Spot ate them.
They laughed as they all went to the backyard, everyone but Rebecca if anything should happen to her what will happen to Ben and Ren.
Ben where are you why aren't you here with us .
There was a knock on the door Rebecca opened it after he showed her the high sign, it was a messenger, from the resistance Heim was spotted in Seoul Korea a week ago.
No further news, why did you give me this message Rebecca asked, the man said it was intercepted from the SS and Pete wanted her to know, thank you Rebecca said and closed the door, Let's see Seoul if they flew they would be here by now , train or vehicle no not by car not to many roads around.
It must be by train you can lay low on a train.
