The boy was led to a small dark room that smelled of sweat and smoke. He was tied to a chair and his captors circled him, smoking their foul cigars. �Are you ready to talk, mein kampf?� one asked him. �Siel Heil, you ugly kraut,� said the boy. �You think you�re funny, don�t you, my friend?� asked Victor Galis. Galis had been searching for this child for more years than he could count. It had been harder than Victor had thought it would be at the start. The boy had some mysterious protector, who always managed to supply the boy with enough information to keep him from falling into the hands of Galis. Galis had no idea who the mysterious guardian angel of the boy was, but Galis knew it had to be someone who knew the program. Someone who knew the tactics that Galis and his fellows used. Because this mysterious man had always remained one step ahead of them, anticipating Galis� every move. Galis had gone so far to suspect that this man had once been a part of the program. Finally, however, the mystery man had made his mistake, just as Galis knew he would. And now the boy was in the hands of the Galis and his masters. It will take little effort to divulge the mysterious man�s name, Galis thought. Galis kneeled in front of his captive. �You know, we don�t really want you. It�s your friend we�re after,� Galis lied. The boy did not react. �Tell us his name. Just that, and you�ll be free to live whatever life you want. We�ll see to it that you are protected. What do you say?� The boy said nothing. Nothing at all. �You know me,� Galis said. �I have made quite a reputation for myself during my time in this business. You know how I treat my captives when they are uncooperative.� The boy smiled. Galis scowled. �After a while, it will be physically impossible for you to smile.� Galis reached for a scalpel.
Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey knew it was time to act. His shotgun blew the lock off of the door and he burst into the interrogation room. Galis� lackeys turned towards YYYH, guns drawn, but YYYH was on them before they could react, He knocked the two unconscious and turned to Galis, who held a scalpel to the boy�s neck. �Not another move. Who are you?� Galis asked. �If you were as intelligent as you think you are, you would know by now, � said YYYH, and he didn�t hesitate to fire. Victor Galis lost some of his shoulder in the ensuing shotgun blast, and he dropped the scalpel. YYYH used it to cut the boy loose and yanked him out the door. �Move it!� shouted YYYH. The boy moved. Once they were outside, YYYH led the boy to his black sedan and thrust him inside. �What do you want with me?� asked the boy. �I have need of you, Frodo83,� said YYYH. They drove off.
Victor Galis stumbled out of the building in time to see the car vanish into the distance. He went back inside and found a phone. He dialed a number, and listened to his new instructions.

Hmmm... siel heil, "speak, mein kampf"... should I offer German classes on the web?
No offense meant.

I retired Alice. I didn't want her getting hurt in combat, anymore
Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general,
YYYH

Allod: heh. Actually, people who didn't like Victor used to try to insult him in German, but they always got it wrong. Someone did actually say "siel heil". It was just my attempt at an in-joke.

A decent attempt. Yes there was once a newbie who called all veterans Nazis. "Seil heil" was his poorly worded attempt at... well you know what I mean. (Sieg Heil or Sid Heil would have been acceptable.)
This was at a time when YYYH set concentration camps in the I Club to imprison the Baron von Krypto Space Puppies. (We got tired of that one quickly.)

General Yo_Yo_Yo_Hey,
Good for Alice. She deserves a rest. It was plenty dangerous work looking out for you. She will always be welcome at the I-Club for old times sakes.
BTW, did you know both Bonny and Clyde favored the B.A.R.?
