OOC: Title of this thread taken from the name of the song sung by the Andrews Sisters. Also, this thread will be written in first person. It takes place in the 1940s--for now anyway.
IC:
It was a day just like all the rest in Occupied Paris. The Resistance had handed off a tip that Johann Schmidt and his troop of Occultist maniacs were on the move to snatch something Hitler felt would win the war for the Nazis. Bucky and my squad were fighting in another battle, so this time out I was partnered with the Canadian operative who went by the name Logan and his buddy Eugene Judd.
If it hadn't been for the war, this little jaunt down the Rue Cassini might have been fun. Judd kept ribbing Logan about some singer at the club we were supposed to check out. A redhead. Apparently Logan had a thing for them. I'd gladly trade any woman in that club so I could have five minutes tonight with Peggy. God, I miss her.
"Gentlemen, I'm sure this singer will be very entertaining, even if she sings off key," I said as we got to the doorway of the nightclub and made our way inside. It looked like any of a hundred other clubs I had been involved in raiding in the past.
"Yeah, greenie, not this one," Puck replied as he looked at the door and seemed to cringe a bit. "Trust me. The Frenchies here have a really special something inside. So special our old pal Schmidt wants it. Now we need to figure out what it is and get it the hell out of there first."
"May not be a what, Judd. May be a who," Logan said as the trio sat down. He looked at the bottle that had been left on the table and snarled. "Can't even get a decent drink anymore."

I shook my head as Logan set down the bottle again. A young French woman came over to the table and put down some glasses and some place settings. This was apparently a supper club, and several of Paris' working girls were in the club plying their trade. The SS boys in attendance seemed to be very happy to see them. I'd be happy to get whatever we were looking for an leave.
"Either one of you have any trick of the trade up your sleeves so we can get the goods and skedaddle?" Judd asked as he poured whatever was in the bottle into the three glasses. "This place is giving me the creeps, and no fine French ladies will make that better."
"If it were easy, they wouldn't have asked us to help out the Boy Scout here," Logan replied as he pulled out a cigar, lit it, and took a long puff.
I kept looking around the room as Logan and Judd kept talking. The band members were taking their places on the stage, so this singer Judd mentioned would be coming out soon. "Gentlemen, is it possible the singer is the one we need to make contact with? They have guards on the stage door, and those are Schmidt's hand picked boys. And speak of the devil..."
I motioned to where Schmidt was sitting with a group of SS officers. This night was not going to be short or entertaining. It was likely going to turn into a nightmare.
