They'd only lose it. Or run up implausibly large bills on calls to international numbers. Or both.

He is mentioned twice, so he must be important...

All the universe is a hologram, and all the men and women merely hallucinations of each other.

Woohoo! Lunch! (sausage, cheese and barbecue sauce on a couple of rolls)

Cheers,

Harv awakened slowly and hoped that he'd been dreaming, or, failing that, hallucinating. He tried moving his arms. Nothing. So far, not too different than a typical Sunday morning. Legs, nothing. A little more concerning. Eyes -- the eyes could definitley funtion and fluttered open. He found that he could lift his head and immediately regretted that he could. At least this time, there was not an upside down vision of Vivaldi staring him in the face.

What he saw, however, was not a great deal better. And the noise was horrendous. That had to do, he supposed with the fact that he was tied to a mill stone which was slowly grinding it's way toward what had to be described as a farking big grinding stone. And he was tied down. Quite securely. Damned Nazi henchmen! Why couldn't he have fallen in with the "Oh just loop some twine around his feet, I'm sure that will hold him," crowd?

Above the din of the mill stone, he could hear Biggles complaining.

"You bloody pikers! This is inhumane! First I'm going to have to watch that stone flatten Wallbanger, and then I'm going to have to wait until it turns around to me! Be merciful and just shoot me!"

Harv was left to ponder why Biggles hadn't said "us."

"You will be quiet, Herr Colonel!" said a voice from out of Harv's sight. He imagined a monacle and fencing scar.

"We must get going, Major!" said Frau Miyatake. "We have work to do!"

Von Schlepwig answered in German. Harv was thankful for the time he'd spent in a German POW camp in the Great War at that moment. "I don't wish to discuss this openly in front of these two. If we are to get the fishermen to plant the mines, we need to be at the coast by midnight."

Frau Miyatake answered in French. Harv was gald once again that he'd been a part of the Lafayette Escadrille. "But we must also see to the American woman."

Von Schlepwig switched to Italian. Good old Luigi, the town barber back in Wonomowoc, Wisconsin! "Is there a plan for how we are going to get past the gaurds surrounding her?"

Frau Miyatake switched to Swahili. Damn!

As they continued their discussion, Harv tried again to get out of his bonds. He heard a door slam and the voices were gone. With nothing else to do, he started to calculate how long he had before he had to start watchin his future family prospects get ground into hamburger. About an hour. He didn't know what process called for a mill stone to grind this slowly, but he was at least somewhat thankful.

Frau Miyatake buffed her nails with vigor. She had Wallbanger where she wanted him, and all she needed for her revenge to be complete was Vera, as well. That and Vivaldi to take back to her children. They were always screaming, "What did you bring us?" at her whenever she went home from an assignment. This time, she was going to hve something more than a used road map and a candy bar she didn't eat on the plane. Little heathens.

There was a knock at the door. "Kommen sie!" she cried out.

A large dog walked into the room. "Hello, frau!"

"Ah, Mr Slite! It's about time you showed up again! We were beginning to wonder where you'd got off to."

"Just setting things up for the Taxi Boss' untimely demise. What is happening here?"

"Mmmm... Nothing much. We have captured two of the American Woman's compatriates. We are going to use them to bait her into our trap. Then we are going to get the explosives to the fishermen on the coast to set up the sinking of the Pacific Fleet."

"Dull, ordinary, and every day, then."

Frau Miyatake continued to buff her nails.

"You seem rather agitated."

The emery board snapped and flew across the room. "Why do you say that?"

"Just an observation. Anything wrong?"

"It's just that, every time we think we have this Harv and Vera in our clutches, they manage to get away. There was this time in Colombia... Well, it seemed impossible, especially with the appearance of that moose and polar bear. There is just something uncanny about these two."

"You could give him to me. I am getting the Taxi Boss to work with the American Woman. Having this Harv might benefit my plans."

"Nein! There have been too many harrowing escapes!"

"Ah, it was just a thought. I must go, now. There is an inexplicable explosion that is about to happen at the Taxi Headquarters and I must make my alibi airtight. Good bye!
