184 Impressive Hideou

" The Japs are searching for us! They're all over Kabang down to Tikaban area and some are even above us, right now." Baldur just reported while tightly grasping his hand on his rifle.

It was enough and they both gathered everyone in the center after Albrecht and Sibaya threw some water on the furnace and covered it with a wet rag since Alexandra was about to cook some porridge for Magee.

" Everyone, let's all be careful. Up there, and any moment we'll be caught. So while they're on their feet to find us, our movement must be limited since they're keen to movements and noise, we all know that. Once we'll be traced, it would be the end of our fight, we'll be all dead! This is the reality, and so I want you to be courageous as you can. Once they'll find us, you choose in between being caught and be dead of their bayonets or use our. handguns and help each other to get back our freedom. Another thing,. suppose that extreme situation could happen, I want you to confidently hold your gun, pack up only the most precious stuffs in your life and we'll separate ways so they couldn't catch us in group.

" Sir...me and some of the civilians here are a little worried where...instead of getting away from our enemies, here we're staying too close to them."

" Would it be possible to transfer there in the cliff of that Makasido and Malti border, so as to divide our group into two." Seconded by Eunice who worry the same thing.

". Hmm... Isagani's family there had that hiding place but it's not really that spacious. Besides, it's a bit far from here and if you think of going there today, the soldiers above us I guess will have an overtime in searching for us. Aseko knew that we exist so they won't stop searching for us. Yes, the trail going there isn't safe, especially now that they're hunting us." George uttered.

" But Sir, it's more dangerous here, though its really spacious but now that we're all here, I think we"ll be decongested, see how we slept at night, and..." Eunice pressed her head while
