Novus Ordo base at Pontebba 10:30 p.m.
A guard brought food to Luchese, Garth and Ruben in the test subject quarters. All three ate the cheese and bread that was brought to them.
Earlier, another guard had taken Rubenâs scanner, which was camouflaged to look like a radio, and Garthâs TMD device, which resembled a compass.
âWhat do you think theyâll do to us?â Ruben asked.
âMy sister has always been interested in science and experiments,â Luchese said. âIâm sure it will be horrible.â
âIt canât be as bad as what the Turks did to my people during the war,â Ruben said.
âYou donât know her like I do,â Luchese said. âShe dreams of ways to inflict pain on humanity.â
âAll this time Iâve known you,â Ruben said, âand you never mentioned her. Why is that?â
âI thought she was dead.â
âHold on,â Garth interrupted. âYou can be killed?â
âOf course, we can. Some of us have been lucky and cheated death through the ages.â
âThatâs good to know,â Garth said.
âWho wouldâve thought,â Ruben said, âon the day you and the others recruited me and my people in Turkey, that it would all end here.â
âHave some faith,â Garth said. âWeâre not dead yet.â
The door opened and Lilith entered with Pilo, Angelo, Rene and Bernadette. The children rushed to Luchese, who embraced them. âAre you two okay?â Luchese asked.
âHoly Shit,â Garth said. âWhat the hell happened? How are you two here?â
âWe grabbed them after we blew up Lavoniaâs apartment,â Angelo said.
âBastards!â Luchese shouted, and lunged at Angelo. Garth held him back. âThis isnât the time,â Garth said.
âListen to your friend, brother,â Pilo said.
Luchese faced his siblings. âThis latest scheme of yours, like the others, wonât work.â
âWe think it will, brother,â Lilith said.
âYou think using Patton and his Nazi forces to attack the Russians will work?â Garth asked. âAnd what about that V2 rocket? What are you going to do with that and the uranium you have mined?â
âThat would be telling,â Angelo said. He took out Rubenâs scanner and Garthâs teleporter. âYour radio and compass do not seem to work,â he noted.
âYour goons must have broken them when they took them from us,â Ruben said.
âPerhaps,â Angelo said.
âRubenâ¦â Pilo said, as noticing him for the first time. âAngelo, he was in Sicily with me and my brother, in 1860.â
âImpossible,â Angelo said.
âIs it?â Pilo asked, and stepped toward Ruben. âShow me your left thigh.â
Ruben pulled up his fatigue leg. There was a bullet-scar on his left thigh.
âThatâs where the sentry shot you when you and my brother escaped me in 1860.â He turned to Angelo. âWhat do you say now, Colonel?â
âI donât know what to say.â
âLilith,â Pilo said. âThe hypnotic conditioning therapy you did on Patton and his mistress⦠Do the same with Ruben and these others. I want to know everything they have in their heads.â
âIt will be done, Caesar.â
âAngelo,â Pilo said. âWe should notify the Suzerain immediately about this development. It could affect our strategy.â
âAgreed,â Angelo replied.
âThe hell you will,â Luchese said, and shoved Angelo to the floor. The scanner and TMD.
