| It was apparent the joint mission had failed when the troopers rushed toward us, weapons drawn. I knew all was lost, but I grabbed the girl by the hand and made a break for it anyway, because that was my nature. Fortunately, chaos was on our side, and casualties fell in our wake as we fled past the barricades and flashing lights. But then I heard the beating of the helicopter blades and saw its spotlight cutting through our cover of darkness. Quickly I pulled the girl behind a large shrubbery as the war machine passed overhead, its betraying light tracing the wall above us. Capture seemed inevitable. "We'll have to lay low here awhile," I told my terrified companion, then pulled her mouth to mine and placed my hand over her racing heart. It was a shame the plan to rush the coliseum gates did not succeed for us and the other teenagers? it would have been great to see the rock concert. I guess I could have bought us a ticket ... but everything worked out fine after all. |
