⫷Between the war and my enemy⫸ (T-34)

Chapter 15: Negotiation

A noise a little rough was heard coming from outside, the door was being hit by a soldier who was trying to wake up the two present in those four walls to start with the interrogations; those two were deeply asleep but nevertheless one of them woke up by so much annoying noise, he looked first to the door and then to his side giving the German who was peacefully asleep on the Soviet.

- Shit Klaus, just now you have to look tender -shaking the opposite one he looked at the door in case the soldier came in-

- Mmh... Fuck you commie -he replied sleepily as he pulled himself together and wiped some dried drool from his mouth-

After a short while the door opened, revealing the soldier who had a face of few friends, with a little abruptness he grabbed Nikolay to later take him outside, taking him with him to a kind of tent in which the Russian was sure that there was a superior.
The minutes passed in silence after their arrival to that place, nobody spoke, they only kept serious and cutting looks but nevertheless they were interrupted by the superior of that place that cleared his throat giving to understand that he was going to speak.

- So, you say you are a fugitive tanker from a concentration camp in the southwest, am I right? -

- Yes sir, thanks to my comrades I managed to restore a tank that had been captured by the Nazis, who didn't know that there was ammunition in it, and with the help of Anya Yartseva, one of the prisoners they have in here, we managed to escape successfully as she provided us with maps of the camp and routes to take, sir.

Pov. Nikolay:

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, giving my report to a superior, what do you know.

- And from what I see you brought with you a Standartenführer who ran that concentration camp. Thank you very much for your service captain, we'll let you free but we'll keep the Nazi -

A feeling of joy invaded my body, we will be able to return home or much better, get away from the wa...

- What? -

- We'll stay with the Nazi, we'll get information and then we'll kill him like all the others... -

- No, you can't keep him, he's my prisoner of war, I'm going to get the information out of him, and I'll tell Stalin -

- Captain let me be frank, while we are here chatting, "your prisoner" is being interrogated by our soldiers. Your opinion doesn't interest me, and you should learn to respect the orders of your superiors -

- T-they can't hurt him! -

- Excuse me? Why can't I hurt that disgusting being? -

- Because... He's... He's... -

- He's what? Hurry up, I don't have all day! -

- HE'S MY STUPID BROTHER! OKAY?! -

Nikolay Ivushkin, shut your stupid mouth, you're ruining everything. Your brother? Really? Couldn't you think of something better? How he's sorry for his actions and wants to change sides but noooo there you go saying anything stupid. I heard some laughter, that worried me a lot, after all, who could believe that Klaus is my brother?
