Quain Laroche#3

It's evening.

I've spent the entire day waiting and thinking.

Who killed that family in the farmhouse?

Where am I?

What 'appened to my parents?

It was useles, I know.

But there really isn't that much that I've could be doing.

I went back to the farmhouse to eat and drink. I really shouldn't go there that often.

Someway I get this feeling that the Farmhouse just isn't safe. Maybe it's where Boche 'as it's way with it's whores.

So the question is, should I care for what they do in that Farmhouse?

It still is warm and nice. Blessed be the France and 'er warm summers.

I see clouds. Is it going to rain?

I 'ope not.

Although it's better to 'ave clouds, that way the Boche can't see us.

I'm waiting near the Jacque's cafe.

I would like to go in but it's not safe, because of the Boche. But if Boche finds me near Jacque's Cafe then they just might take me away anyway.

I enter the Jacque's Cafe.

I feel disgust. It's filled with Boche.

I go to the bar and order a beer.

Jacque seems to be talking to a Boche. 'e seems 'appy. 'es wife is manning the bar. Atleast I think she is Jacque's wife.

Damn Boche!

Those filthy bastards!

Sitting around tables, drinking, lauhging, it get's in to my nerve! I just want to kill them, kill them all.

When will they leave? When will Jacque close for the day?

Time passes.

I drink my beer and try not to kill all the Boche.

It's not going well.

Thankfully none of them 'ave come to talk to me.

Finally Jacque comes and tells me to go in the backroom and wait till 'e 'as closed and send all the Boche away.

I go to the backroom.

There is just a big table, some chairs around it. A bookshelf. I start going through the books. Nothing that I would care to read.

When will the Boche leave? I go and take a seat and light a cigarette.

Ouside it's getting darker and cloudier. I sure 'ope that it's not going to start to rain.

Finally Jacque 'as closed and all the Boche are gone.

Finally.

Jacque comes and we start to leave.

We go through the backdoor.

Rene is waiting, so is 'es brother. Francoi's is not 'ere because 'e needs to sleep so that 'e would be ready for 'es day in work.

Me and Jacque get inside the lorry. The rifles are ready. I check mine. Jacque is nervous. 'e lights a cigarette. I sit and look at the other side. Rene tells us that we are going to ambush another lorry.

The lorry is moving. It's still clody.

Jacque checks 'e's rifle. I'm getting more anxious. I'll check my rifle, it's fine. I check my knife, it's sharp and ready to use, that is good.

Jacque is still nervous. I'm anxious.

I can't wait to find some Boche to kill, just so I can reduce they're number once again. Soon I've killed all of them, soon Jacque's Cafe will be empty from them. Then I can be there, 'ave a drink and relax. That's all I need to do – relax

The lorry 'as 'alted.

Time to come out. Rene and Auguste 'ide the lorry. Jacque end's 'is cigarette and check's 'es rifle. I'm calm but anxious. I can't wait to kill some Boche.

Rene and Auguste 'ave 'id the lorry.

They come back to us. Rene tells us our plan. It's the same as the last time: block the road, 'ide in the bushes, wait till the Boche comes out and then dispose them.

We block the road. Now we wait.

It's quiet. It's dark. We are 'iding in the bushes. It's still cloudy, but not raining. Good.

We 'ear a lorry. Boche are propably coming.

Finally.

The lorry 'alts on the roadblock. Rene tells them to raise they're 'ands and not to do anything stupid. We come about.

I can see the Boche. They are scared.

I'm anxious.

Those pigs are shaking.

Rene asks volunteers to finish the job.

I volunteer.

I take them away. I need some privacy.

Finally I get to do what I wanted to do all day.

Boche are tied and scared. I leer at them. I'm going to enjoy from this.

I take my knife. It's still sharp. I pick one of them and walk to 'im. I cut 'es ear.

Blood is everywhere and the pig is screaming.

But something is wrong.

I can't do it.

I can't do anything else to 'im.

The Boche is crying and screaming, the other is scared and screaming too.

I?

I'm stunned. I can't do anything.

Why?

I'm standing looking stupid yet doing nothing.

Why?

This is what I wanted do all day. But now. I can't.

Why?

I walk near the one whose ear I cut. I try to beat 'im up. But then I 'ear someone yelling at me. But it's too late I'm going to do it. I'm going to beat them up. The Boche killed that family.

They killed so many.

BOCHE MUST DIE!

Auguste takes me and turns me away and start yelling at me. 'es mumbling in panic. I can't understand a word 'es saying.

Why?

Then Jacque comes. 'e sees the Boche and Rene's brother screaming at me. Jacque goes between us and tries to calm Auguste by telling 'im that I was just doing what Rene told me to.

To 'ell with Rene.

This is what I wanted to do. I want to make them pay!

But now, with the perfect chance I cannot.

Why?

Then we 'ear gunshots. I turn and I see Rene. While Auguste and Jaqcue were arguing 'e sneaked up and finished them up. 'e then tells Jacque to get they're clothes and yells at Auguste for leaving 'es post.

When Jacque is done I look at the Boche and wonder.

Why?

I should 'ave been able to make them pay for what they did, but no. I cut one of the Boche's ears off and then I couldn't do anything.

What's wrong with me?

I go back to the lorry.

We load up all the suplies from the now captured lorry to our old one, then we clear the road and 'ide the captured lorry. Rene and Auguste will come back for it – if it's still 'ere.

While were cleaning up Rene tells me 'e wants to 'ave a talk with me tomorrow evening.

We are driving back. I still wonder why?

Jacque 'as light a cigarette. 'es still nervous. I light one for myself too.

Then it starts to rain.
