“Dear Lord, Perry!” Krista gasped when they had repacked the campervan and taken to the road. “Things are much worse than we were led to believe. The people here are terrified.”

“That was some performance back there.” Perry too was shocked by their morning’s experience. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or applaud.” He leaned in to touch her shoulder with his. “I will tell you though. I would never marry a woman like you. I could never trust you!”

They laughed until they cried, releasing the tension they had been under.

They drove along, searching for a camping site for the night. Neither mentioned their orders of remaining in the same camping site for two nights. They neither of them wanted to return to the forest.

“It was brave of that old man to warn me away.” Perry had told her what he had said.

“His English was good. Maybe he was a soldier in the Great War.”

They talked for a while about this and that, each concerned for the other and their safety.

“Perry, how is Gisele to make her way to us if she is subjected to the kind of treatment we have received?” She looked over at him before returning her attention to the road. “We have each other for company and support but she is alone and scared.”

“What will be, will be.” Perry had no other answer.

“Yes, indeed … but I pity the poor woman.”

After a while Perry said, “Krista, do these roads seem superior to you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you are the one driving but they seem to me to be in excellent shape. In fact, they look almost new.” Then it dawned on him. “Dear God – of course – they’re for troop movement!”
