Resistance

Chapter Eight

Hans had heard about the wedding through Kurt and he decided that he was going to take his revenge on Richard. He told his plan to Kurt.

“He took her from me, so I am going to take her from him.”

Kurt thought this was a very foolish idea.

“But they are married. There is no way that she is going to leave him for you.”

Hans laughed an almost evil chuckle.

“Who said I wanted her to leave him for me? I said I would take her and that is what I am going to do I am going to kill her and leave his life lonely and empty. If I can’t have her then no one can.”

 “Hans. Don’t you think that it is going too far? Can’t you just get over it, forget about her and him and find another girl. There are plenty that would do anything for you.”

Hans shook his head.

“No, that girl made a fool out of me and I am going to make her pay for it.”

He walked towards the door but Kurtmoved in front of him.

“No, it isn’t right we are not here to carry out acts of personal revenge, we are here to carry out the Fuhrer’s wishes and for the good of the Third Reich. Not to go about killing the locals, especially not ones who may have vital information and should be interrogated by the Gestapo. You should capture them all and bring them in it is your duty to do as such. I am not going to let you do this.”

Hans laughed again.

“Spending time with that French slut has addled your mind. I am stronger than you and I am a higher rank so you can not stop me.”

He pushed Kurt out of his way and opened the door.

“If you remember where your loyalties lie then get Brett and Dieter and meet me outside the house where they are staying. I am sure that girl of yours will give you the address. In fact bring her along for the ride I think it will be educational for her to learn what happens to girls who anger me.”

With that he stormed out of the door.

Hans got onto his motorbike and drove to the where he knew that Angelique would be. He kicked open the front door and stormed into the ballroom where all of the group were, still cleaning.

Angelique could see in his face what he wanted so she stood up, then she leaned over Richard and gave him what she thought would be her last kiss.

“I love you darling.”

Then she turned away from him and followed Hans out into the hall.

“Hans. Why do this? Why can’t you get on with your life and leave me to mine. I am a married woman, I am happy with him, I love him, why can’t you just accept that. You knew that I never loved you; you knew that I hated you in fact. Your ego is just too large for you to be able to accept it. You are an arrogant self-centred bastard and I hope the fact that you are about to murder two innocent people in cold blood will haunt you for the rest of your life.”

Hans laughed.

“Two people. Why my dear Angelique surely you don’t think I am going to kill him as well do you? No, I am going to leave him alive and lonely to suffer this loss till the day of his death.”
