Ardennes Fury Page #3

---

You ain't French,

and this ain't

no orphanage.

I think you're

a desperate mother

who'd do anything

to save her kids,

and you suckered us

in here.

I am not a nun.

I am from Portugal.

My husband was

an American ambassador,

and we almost escaped.

No more lies!

And what about Sister

Mary what's-her-name?

She is a real nun.

Uh-huh.

She has been our savior.

And this, uh, orphanage?

No orphans.

I'm not gonna get my men

wrapped up in this matt...

Get down!

Rose, you see anything?

Not yet!

Pinned in

a goddamn orphanage

with goddamn nuns

and kids.

Private Griffin,

you okay out there?

Fine, Sarge!

Just enjoying the view!

Coming your way!

Grenade!

Shh.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's a hell of a time

to pull a John Wayne move,

you stupid bastard!

Shut up.

There's no need for

any further bloodshed!

Sounds like that Kraut officer

that killed those kids.

Griff, can you move?

I... Hurts pretty bad,

but I can move.

Okay.

If you surrender now,

I assure you

that you will be treated in accordance

with the Geneva Convention!

Oh, bullshit.

Claudette, get the kids

ready to move now.

I say we stand

and fight, Sarge!

It's not your call,

Private!

If you

are concerned

for the lives

of the children,

I promise you they

will be treated well

if you come out now

and surrender!

We're wasting time.

CK, damn it.

That's enough, soldier.

It's not too long

till the operation's bombs

start falling.

Grenaden.

Schnell!

Pierre!

Pierre!

Stop! Stop!

Stay with Amelie.

I will protect Pierre.

Nuts. Claudette,

you and Sister Mary

get those kids

ready to go now!

Okay.

CK, you go

with those kids!

Pierre has run away!

Aw, come on!

You gotta be kidding me!

Do it!

All right, let's go!

Come on. Let's go!

Move, move, move!

Move, move, move, move!

Come on.

Pierre!

- Come on!

- Pierre!

Pierre!

Sarge,

Griffin's been hit!

Come on! Come on!

Ahh!

Pi...

Pierre! Pierre!

Pierre!

Pierre!

Shut up.

Shut up, lady!

The Krauts are

gonna hear you.

Pierre went

in the woods.

Stop him, please.

Find him!

H-He's just a boy.

He's just a boy!

Oh, Pierre!

Oh, God, Pierre.

God in Heaven.

Pierre. Ohh.

CK!

CK, get your ass

back here now!

I could follow him!

Negative! We gotta go!

CK knows where

the tank is, all right?

He'll have to catch up.

You get Griffin,

and you follow me,

all right?

- Pierre!

- Shhh.

Sister, listen.

We can't run fast enough,

all right?

CK will find the boy.

He'll save your son.

I promise.

- Gotta go.

- Go.

Move, move,

move, move, move!

- Let's go.

- Go, go.

Move, move, move, move!

Move. Move. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

Kid, what the hell's

the matter with you?

Come on now, kid.

Come on now. Hey...

there's no need

for that, all right?

Oh, no, no.

Come on.

Ah, stupid!

We will find Pierre soon, okay.

- Damn.

- Sir! Sir!

I'm fine, Sergeant!

I'm fine. Just...

Just a minor misstep.

Let's take a minute

and catch our breath.

Said... I said I'm fine.

We're a few clicks

east of the tank.

- CK...

- Will be fine,

or they won't.

We've got a bigger

immediate problem.

Griffin's

not doing well.

Right. We don't

have the time

or the manpower

to go back.

CK and the boy.

It's not good.

No.

No. No.

No! No! No!

Oh, God.

No. No.

No.

My baby. No.

No.

No.

No.

Where were you?

Where were you?!

Where were you?!

Claudette, quiet.

Sarge...

She's quiet,

or we're dead.

My baby!

Shh.

Private...

German bullet.

I let my guard down.

Rose, you and Griffin

get them.

Get out of here.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. We gotta go.

We're gonna have to bury

the kid shallow.

That should have

been for me.

That kid just...

He just...

Let's just get this kid

buried quickly.

A.P. loaded! Up!

Fire!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Ha!

Reloading!

Load it up! Quick!

Do those help, Sister?

Heh. I never been much

for religion.

Starting to figure maybe I

should start thinking about it.

Thank you.

Merci.

Mercy?

Mer-ci.

Uh...

thank you.

- Merci.

- Oh.

Heh heh ho ho ho.

Merci.

Hey, CK,

looks like I finally got one thing right

in my sorry-ass

G.I. life.

Doesn't seem like a necessary firefight,

Sarge.

Let's find

another route.

We have to get

to the tank.

This is

the quickest route.

None of us are in a position

to fight right now.

We could find

another way around.

Might take a little

longer, but...

How much longer?

About 20 minutes.

That's time

we don't have.

That's time

Griffin doesn't have.

CK, you get Griffin

and the civilians.

Take 'em about 20 meters

in the woods.

You hide 'em

as best you can.

Then you get your ass

back here ASAP.

He's right, Sarge.

We got no chance of

making it through.

Let me draw fire.

You guys get the

civilians through.

Griffin, I am not sending a

wounded man out to get cut down.

It's for the best,

Sarge.

Griff, you been losing

a lot of blood.

You don't know

what you're saying.

It's the only way,

and you know it.

You all know it.

No. We stick to my plan,

and you go

on my signal. Move out.

All right,

let's go. Come on.

Come on. Griff,

you're with me.

Griff, let's go.

All right.

Hey,

keep your eyes open.

I gotta go

for a bit.

Buddy, I need you

to keep breathing.

All right?

Now hey. Hey.

All right, now you

see a Kraut helmet,

you just start

shooting, all right?

All right.

All right.

Yeah.

- Hey, CK?

- Yeah?

Get the hell out of here.

Can't you see I got

civilians to save?

You Okie son of a b*tch.

All right,

you wait here for me.

You copy me?

FIGMO.

I copy, man. I copy.

You stay here.

Wait here.

It's okay,

Amelie. It's okay.

Just look at the lights

playing

through the trees.

Look how beautiful

they are.

The hell with this.

Monsieur.

Damn it.

Get the civilians.

That was Griffin.

Yeah.

All right, let's go.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

On the double.

Griff.

Griff ain't there,

Sarge.

Gotta get

to that tank, soldier.

That's him, Sarge.

We gotta back him up.

He's saving our ass

right now.

Let's not let that

go to waste.

Let's move.

Amerikaner! Amerikaner!

Amerikaner!

Hande hoch!

Hande hoch!

Hande hoch!

Hande hoch,

Amerikaner!

Well, what do

you know, Sarge?

Looks like I had

one extra after all.

The operation's breathing

down our backside, Gunderson.

Only one real round

left, Freddy.

I don't like

the sound of that.

You finally

get to use Stella.

Load her up.

Run like hell.

Gunderson,

back inside now!

Hey, let's take a minute

and switch off.

Rose, stand guard.

CK, with me.

Thank you, Sergeant.

My daughter

needs a rest.

Get down.

Get down.

On the double, soldier.

Are you on board

with the mission at hand?

I'm sorry Griffin and that kid died,

I really am,

and I need you

thinking straight.

Do your duty.

Griffin did his duty.

This kid is safe.

We're done, hmm? Sir?

Don't call me sir!

I work for a living.

You need to get

your sh*t together,

because you are

compromising my team.
