In Hiding pt. 8

It is about 10:30 and Trace still hasn't left. I am still sure that he is going to go but it is a wait that seems to take forever. We are just out side the city and an air raid is starting, but Trace is determined. We are going to make a bolt for the jail and try and find a way to get Riley out. It took us a few minutes to find the keys for his cell but we finally got him out. As we were running through the woods back toward our camp we heard quiet voices outside of the cave. We dropped down and looked, there were soldiers getting ready to through tear bass into the cave. Riley shouted a warning to the family and Trace and I ran out to try and distract the guards. The gas was thrown but 2 of my cousins made it out and we ran but the rest of the group was taken. Luckily Eric (on of the cousins who made it out) had grabbed our hatchet so that we could get some fire wood to stay warm. Our new place is smaller but that is ok since there are only 5 of us now. It is a small hole dug in the ground with rugs as the floor and wood planks for walls. There is a loft in the corner for sleeping and there is ever a small kitchen with a wood stove, and a lot of canned food. We think it is an abandoned bomb shelter. So our new spot has quite a few advantages to our old one but the first thing we are going to do is to dig a second door way and try and camouflage the door better just incase we have  any more unwanted visitors.
