Part 3, Chapter 8, of RFV.A Chapter by Danny Zil
EIGHT Roger came to in a small room which was lit
by a bare light bulb hanging from a cord in the ceiling. Apart from a metal desk
and two chairs there was no other furniture in the room. There were some hooks
in the walls at varying heights and the floor underneath them was blood
stained. There was an aura of evil about the place and screams and groans could
be heard from the next room. Groggily, Roger sat up and looked round. An SS Captain was standing watching him and
two uniformed heavies guarded the door. The Captain, who was smoking a
cigarette in a black holder, was a sadistic looking specimen. An old duelling
scar ran from the corner of his left eye down to the corner of his mouth. His
blond hair was razored close to his scalp. His blue eyes were cold and lifeless
as a snake’s. His tailored black SS uniform was impeccable, as were his highly
polished black leather jackboots. Roger swallowed nervously and hauled
himself up into a chair and looked round. “Where am I?” he asked nervously. “SS Head Quarters,” the Captain’s clipped
voice answered coldly. “Kapitan Kurt von Dorf at your service.” He bowed
mockingly then clicked his heels together. Roger trembled. He trembled quite a lot. “I
demand to see the Commandant,” he blurted. “Why?” Kapitan von Dorf asked curiously. “To give him a big wet kiss!” Roger replied
then clapped a hand over his mouth. The heavies laughed. Although thick, it was
obvious they understood english. “Interesting,” said Kapitan von Dorf,
sitting down at the desk. “I’m sure he’ll be The heavies sniggered. Roger edged his hand away from his mouth.
“It’s not my fault!” he bleated. “I can’t help it. I don’t want to say these
things, honestly. It’s just that every now and then I’m made to say terrible
things like Adolf Hitler was a kike f****t b*****d!!” he yelled, his eyes
widening in terror. Kapitan von Dorf stopped toying with his
cigarette holder and stared at him. The heavies by the door stiffened. The
screams and groans from the next room stopped. The very building seemed to
prick up its ears and listen. Roger swallowed. The Kapitan very calmly stubbed out his
cigarette then looked over at the heavies. “Rolf, Herman,” he said, a sadistic
smile on his face, “bring in the manacles and the electric prod.” Roger fainted and slid to the floor before
they left. The Kapitan stood up and slowly unbuttoned
his uniform jacket. He removed it and carefully draped it around his chair as
Rolf and Herman returned. He pointed at Roger. “Get some water and bring
him round,” he ordered. Rolf slipped out and returned with a bucket
of water and threw it over Roger’s face. The spluttering Fleet Pilot sat up and
shook his head. He hauled himself up on to the chair again and almost fainted
for a second time when he saw the electric prod and the manacles lying on the
desk. “You are fully awake?” the Kapitan asked
him. Roger nodded. “Good because I don’t want you to miss
this.” He picked up the electric prod and switched it on. He touched the metal
desk with the tip and there was a blue flash and some black smoke drifted up to
the ceiling. Roger recoiled in horror. “We’re going to knock this nonsense out of
you,” the Kapitan told him. “This saying things you don’t want to.” He glanced
at Rolf and Herman. “Begin the treatment,” he ordered. “Wait, wait, I’ve got something to say!”
Roger squeaked. They waited. “Come up and see me sometime,” he began. The Kapitan frowned. “I’ll have nothing on but the radio!” he
finished. “Enough!!” the Kapitan yelled. “Begin!!” Roger hid his face behind his hands and
started moaning. “Give me another chance,” he begged. “It’s not my fault,
really.” Rolf and Herman ignored his pleading and
moved towards him. “Come on you little jerk,” rasped Rolf. “Little b*****d,” rasped Herman. “Please, please, give me another chance. I
can’t--” Rolf and Herman moved past Roger, went
round the desk and grabbed the Kapitan. “Oh treat me roughly!” he pleaded. “Rip my
shirt!” begged Kapitan Kurt. “…control what I’m saying,” Roger finished
and watched from between his fingers with widening eyes. Rolf and Herman ripped Kapitan Kurt’s shirt,
dragged him over to the wall and manacled him to a couple of the hooks. Rolf
picked up the electric prod, switched it on and touched his bare back. “Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!” the Kapitan yelled Rolf and Herman looked at each other and
shook their heads in disgust. “Oooohhhh!”
screamed Kapitan Kurt in pleasure as the prod touched him again. “More!
More!” Roger couldn’t believe his luck. Relief
flooded through him and his testicles came out of hibernation. “More!” yelled Kapitan Kurt in ecstasy.
“The whip! The whip too!” Herman took a small whip from his belt and
shrugged. He lashed the Kapitan half-heartedly across his back. “Harder!” Kapitan Kurt slobbered. Herman complied. “Ooohhhh that’s better! Oh the whip! Live
for it, live for it! Live for the whip!” After five minutes whipping and prodding,
Kapitan Kurt was un-manacled. He stretched luxuriously whilst Rolf patted his
back with a warm towel then he put on a clean shirt and his uniform jacket. He
took out his wallet and extracted some money. “Same time tomorrow, Kameraden?” he asked,
handing Rolf and Herman some notes. “Jawohl Herr Kapitan!” they replied,
pocketing the money, saluting and leaving. “Ah, I enjoyed that,” Kapitan Kurt
remarked, settling gingerly into his chair. “Oh, how rude of me " would you
like some of the treatment?” he enquired of Roger. The offer was politely declined. “ “Well, he was, “Roger began cautiously.
“Just a bit.” “Hmmm. He could be a b***h at times,”
Kapitan Kurt conceded. “But he wasn’t all bad. A greatly misunderstood chap in
fact. He had a lot of good points you know.” “Such as?” the emboldened Roger asked
sceptically. “Well, he was very good with his Great Aunt
Helga.” “His Great Aunt Helga? Who was she?” “Lovely old woman,” Kapitan Kurt mused, “or
so I read. Her family name survives to this day. One of her descendants gave me
this,” he said, holding up his finger. “What, that ring?” “No this,” Kapitan Kurt said, pointing to
his duelling scar. “Lovely family.” “So what did Hitler do for his Great Aunt
Helga that made him such a good chap?” Roger asked. “He made a lot of sacrifices for her. For
instance, there was a situation way back during “A bit,” Roger replied. “Well this situation happened just after “So what happened?” Kapitan Kurt sighed. “ “And did he?” “Of course. He left the entire German Army
poised on the edge of the Channel and rushed off to take care of Helga.” “You mean the Germans lost their advantage
of winning the war and thus ruling the planet because Hitler went on holiday
with Helga?” Kapitan Kurt nodded. “That’s correct. Then
when he returned Roger considered this. “Well what about
those millions of people who were killed on his orders?” he asked. Kapitan Kurt looked a bit uncomfortable.
“Oh that.” “What d’you mean, ‘Oh that?’” “Well it was just…just…it was just high
spirits, that’s all.” “High spirits!?” Roger mocked. “Don’t be
ridiculous!” Kapitan Kurt fiddled with the crossed whips
insignia on his uniform jacket. “ “Alright, so why did he do it?” Kapitan Kurt hesitated. “It was a cry for
help,” he said finally. “A cry for help!” Roger said incredulously.
“What was the matter with him?” “Everything,” Kapitan Kurt admitted. “He
wasn’t getting the recognition he deserved as a painter and Eva Braun, his
girlfriend, was threatening to reveal the intimate inside the Fuhrer Bunker
stories. Tell the world about the shouting and screaming and biting the carpet
stuff. The whole thing got too much for him.” “Well couldn’t he have gone to someone for
help?” “Not really. You see, they were amongst the
first to go up against the wall when he came to power. So he just started
taking it out on others.” “On millions of others.” “Oh alright!” snapped Kapitan Kurt crossly.
“Millions of others.” Suddenly the Kapitan’s pleasant manner changed and he
looked like his old sadistic self again. “You little s**t!” he said savagely,
slamming his fist on to the desk. Roger jumped. “Sorry, did I startle you?” Kapitan Kurt
sneered. “A bit.” “I was just killing a fly,” he explained,
flicking it from the desk. “Sorry.” Roger swallowed and nodded. “Look,” Kapitan Kurt went on, “let’s forget
about Hitler. After all you’re supposed to be here to answer questions.” He pressed a button on the desk and Rolf
and Herman reappeared. “And if you don’t answer the questions,”
Kapitan Kurt went on, “you won’t win any prizes in this weeks edition of
BLACK-JACK-BOOTS!!” he yelled, jumping up and throwing out his arms in a little
Jimmy Mormon type gesture. “BLACK-JACK-BOOTS!!” echoed Rolf and
Herman, grinning and clapping. Roger frowned. “Black jackboots? What’s--” “BLACK-JACK-BOOTS!!” echoed Rolf and
Herman. Roger cringed. “What is it then?” “It’s a Quiz Show!” Kapitan Kurt explained
excitedly. “And you’re on it! Take him to the next room!” he ordered. With great gentleness, Rolf and Herman
grabbed Roger by an arm each, lifted him off his chair, dragged him across the
room and threw him next door. © 2012 Danny Zil |
