The Daughter of the Führer

XXXIX

He nods at me to go ahead and that he will close the window.
So I climb onto the windowsill and as soon as I'm outside I sit on the roof, waiting for Alex to join me.
《Wow, what a little house your grandparents have, even a rooftop with a terrace!》
She whispers to me for fear of being overheard by some family members, who I don't think are more than happy to see Alex again, especially in their house, while they weren't home...
We hear footsteps rushing up the stairs.
《Well... now that we're here》 Alex starts talking, always in a low tone of voice, 《now how do we get out of here upstairs?》 he points out to me, and being honest the question is plaguing me too...
《Uncle Carlo, Aunt Angelica's room is open!》
I hear Antonio's voice, ringing from the corridor a few meters away from where we are.
《Those bastards and damn Germans! Nazi murderers and thieves too!》 I hear Uncle Carlo's angry voice in the corridor... and I see Alex's face frown from his uncle's offensive words... I put a hand on his shoulder, to calm him down for a moment, after all he still has a loaded gun in his hand! And no man is a saint to the point of not killing when irritated to his limit!
And I whisper in his ear. 《For me, you are not bastards, as uncle determines you, but you are men who are just doing their job with dedication to save your own life!》
And I see a faint smile appear on his face, which makes me relax more. But it only drives us away to the question... how do we get down from here! Since unlike cats who, if they fall, land on their feet and have seven lives to live, we humans have one and we land many times on our backs or faces. Only actors in movies manage to fall and land on their feet safely!
《I appreciate your understanding of our 'difficult' life, but...》 you freeze for a moment 《our main problem is that if your uncle pulls down the door, the two of us are more than dead!》
《Take it easy Alex Uncle would never enter my room, without my permission of course!》I reassure him, although given the events that have happened, I wouldn't be surprised if Uncle now kicks down the door and starts shooting at us! The idea makes my wrists shake!!!
《You take deep breaths!!!》I calm Alex down 《Now I'll try to get down from here by entering that house next door, as soon as I'm inside, I'll check if there's no one there and then help you get inside》 I nod and look towards the house in question.
After a few minutes, Alex climbs onto the windowsill of the house and manages to enter without much effort since the window was ajar, I wait for a few minutes to see him appear at the window when I hear noises coming from the door of my room.
I decide to at least leave a letter or notice for my grandparents and uncle....
I tear a page out of my notebook, and pick up a pen.
"Gasperoni family,
We have taken the child back and will bring her back to Berlin, where she is destined to stay, together with her father, our Führer, who has missed his presence for long years.
If you insist on taking her back or hinder her reunion with the German State, serious measures will be taken, so make up your minds never to see her again and forget her altogether, and only then will you all have your lives saved!"
And I place it back on top of the desk, just in time that Alex's hand, appears from the window beckoning me, I quickly exit the room, and close the window behind me and walk towards Alex, clutching onto his hand.
《Calmly! Or I can't catch you firmly!"》he says grabbing me by the hips and in a few minutes, he pulls me through the window and I'm just in time to put my feet on the floor that I hear a loud banging, coming from where we were standing not even half an hour ago...
《He's not there!》I hear Uncle's voice 《What's this?》I think he found the letter, and in a moment we'll hear him ranting in anger.
《CALL THE POLICE!!! THAT DAMN NAZI AND HIS BASTARD GERMAN FRIENDS, THEY KIDNAPPED LINDA!!》
Alex looks at me strangely, not understanding the reason for such a tantrum from his uncle.
