-HoTBoX- Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 ... a dusty fold of fabric jutting up from the rubble like a desert flower in a sea of sand. And then, movement... The maiden! She lives! I felt my courage surge through my aching limbs. Adrenaline was now my Master. Shadows shifted around the opening in the tavern. Heavy boots could be heard in the street. They were all around. I had to think fast. "Uuggghhh... p-p-please... is an-anyone there?" came the soft voice from the pile of rubble. Delicate fingers franticly searched for any sign of escape. That was all i needed. I had wondered why the Tiger hadn't finished me off with another blast from its mighty snout, but realized that the commander was saving it's more powerful attacks for bigger foes. Yes, he would send in ground troops to finish off whatever squirmed or called for help. And now they came! The commander pointed to various piles within the tavern, barking his orders in his halting language. My eyes went to slits and my hand went to a grenade. "Burn in Hell, you Nazi pigs!" I whispered through clinched teeth, "Your gonna have to work for this kill!" I pulled the pin and tossed it in the center of the opening. Immediately I reached on the other side of my belt for another. Soon, a puff of smoke started to sputter out from the first as I hurled the second more deadly grenade in the same direction. The Tiger commander immediately buttoned up, firing off a warning to his men as he closed the hatch... BOOM!!! I was off like a shot, I quickly reached the young maiden and began shifting the heavy boulders off her. I could hear german soldiers writhing in agony, apparently the warning came too late. I grinned. "I-Is someone th-there?" her voice was like an angels, my blood raced through my veins. Shadows again by the entrance... Something moved, a glimmer of metal... My trigger finger flinched, without thinking my rifle was at my cheek... "I'll have you out in just...one...sec." RAT-TAT-TAT...RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT He fell hard, blood gurgling up from a neck wound and spilling out over his polished boots. His eyes rolled back, his body went limp. Again I grinned. Seconds later, she was free. Cut and bruised, but none the worse for wear. Her creamy smooth skin though blotched and bruised, was perfumed and sweet. It made me think of all the suitors she probably had before the Reich imposed it's will on this small town. Her face exquisite, her body, young and firm. "Is there an exit in the back?" I questioned her with a furrowed brow. "No Monsier, o-only the stairs to ze'loft" she pointed to the back of the tavern. Again shadows at the opening... "Can you run?" my eyes looking her up and down. "I-I think so, Oui" her english was broken, but her message was clear. I pulled another pin and let it fly. "wait...wait...NOW! Go-Go-Go". BOOM!!! And off we went, scampering through the rubble and timber as quickly as two little church mice. As she dissappeared up the staircase, I turned in the doorway... RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!!! Through the smoke filled room. I backed through the doorway and up the stairs I went. When I crested the top I quickly assessed the room, the young maid was opening a huge steamer trunk in the back of the loft, she motioned with her delicate fingers... "Come here G.I. we have been storing these for times such as these". As I crossed the room my eyes grew big, for in the trunk was...
