A of M 2

The boys reached land, fortunately no one was caught in the pine trees, but have lost each other. Stephen unmounts after landing, the parachute and then hides, ie on finding his friend Joe, Joe, where are you? asks softly, whispering in the dark forest. Take that something will be attentive. Joe is hiding behind a bush. -Stephen, is that you? asks Joe. - Yes, I do. comes the reply from the darkness. Joe comes out from behind a bush.


-Are you all right?  asks Stephen's anxious voice. - Yes. Only a few scratches. But I survive. You okay? asks Joe return. -All the branches scratched out. says Stephen. -Where are we? asks Joe. - You're the navigator, and you ask me? says Stephen. -The last position, so that we can be 140 km north west of the French border. But I think it depends, at least it landed five to six kilometers away. What do we do now?  Asks Joe.


- 150 kilometers from the French border, we can be, well, the walk will be good. We consider ourselves a crisis plan, go to the French border. We need to get over, because it does not come after us here to help. Only when not run into a German patrol. Stephen answered. Go to the French border.


Quietly, carefully go to the dark forest. Bach suddenly around, and an acoustic dread command, HALT! They ran straight into a German patrol.  They stop, do not see anything, the strong point of light into their faces light up. -Hell, now what?  Joe asked me softly. -We hold ourselves to the plan. Stephen is responsible softly. Raise their hands. A German officer speaks to them, but they do not understand a word. They searched, no weapons with them. And then tied their hands and subsequently loaded them into a truck.


The boys were taken to the nearby military base. -So much for luck. Stephen whispers. -Now what? asks Joe. - I do not know, yet I've never been in this situation. Let's do what you commanded, under the stand by our story, no matter what they do with us! says Stephen. All right. Joe answered. Stop the truck. Then the boys entered an office. German military officers take them around. German first asking the two boys, but they do not comply, looking for an interpreter.
