As you hear the bell ringing, you look thru the peephole and instantly a cold shudder runs across your back.
Yes, even in civilian dress that khaki topcoat in the Arizona hot weather is unmistakable; three Se.Sta.Po. agents are waiting you out of the door.
Since the end of W.W.2, when the V4 nuclear cruise rockets developed by the Wehrmacht enabled the defeat of the Allied forces, a Vichy-style government was estabilished by Albrecht Schmidt-Hitler, the secret son of Adolph.
He cleverly studied and avoided the mistakes of his father, particularly during the Operation Barbarossa, so to subdue a huge amount of population like in America you have to mix your German officials with some local loyalists who have trust and power over the people.
Obviously violence is needed, but since we have need to reign and workforce not only destroy we can't kill everyone here.
So I came into play.
Se.Sta.Po., short fot Secret State Police, is the American branch of Ge.Sta.Po. with equal duties and powers with officiers recruited locally. You open the door, petrified because something inside you is already telling why we're here.
"Good morning Mrs. Brown, Dorothy Brown right?" I say while passing the door
"Y...Yes it's me..."
"Well, I'm Special Agent Mark Alexander and they are Special Officiers Connors and Smith of Se.Sta.Po. counterintelligence section, do you know why we're here?"
"No... Sorry I can't really tell....". You close the door
"Mrs Brown we have no time to waste" I say looking straight at you "so maybe the name Angelika Braun will help you understand what we're talking about?"
"Who...?"
"Mrs Brown stop pretending you don't know. We are overseeing the Digi-Luft comunication system (the Reich modern day Wi-Fi) and we know your nickname is HOTBLOND415, you're messaging with your German cousin in Hannover; we know your great-grandfathers were brothers, we know yours escaped in America during the war to avoid proceedings and changed his surname, and we know you are still bound with your German relatives."
While I say this, I lift the briefcase that I was carrying in my left hand and put it on the table in your living room. Noisily the locks click, slowly I open the case, your eyes are frozen on my movements. My right hand extracts a strange metallic implement, it seems an antique rusty tool with the shape of a pear but instead of the petiole it has a key.
I turn around in front of you, lift my hand with the pear at the height of your face and I say: "Are you willing to talk?"
(This is only an introduction; I made a mix between your name and locality, so both of you could feel involved in some way, and I apologize in advance for the possible grammar errors but I'm Italian and I hope to do a good text)
