Then we walked past our hidden fort in the woods. My heart sank.

There, in bright yellow paint, on a side of the hideout that used to be hidden, were these words:

WE FOUND IT!

CHAPTER 7

TRYING AGAIN

Our secret fort wasn’t a secret anymore. But Chad and I still decided to head back to the woods the next Saturday.

We decided that if we didn’t show up, it would seem like we were giving up. We wanted the older guys to know that we were serious.

So on Saturday, we walked together to the woods. There we were, right at the usual meeting place at the usual time.

At first, it was just Chad and me. We wondered if the other guys had chickened out.

Slowly but surely, however, they started to show up. James was next, and a few minutes later, Michael and Ray showed up together.

Three more of our friends walked down the path a few minutes later, giving us a total of eight. We waited a while to see if anyone else would show. Finally, we decided just to play with eight guys.

We threw eight bandanas into a bag, four red and four blue. Then we turned our backs to the bag, reached in one at a time, and each pulled one out.

Chad and I were the first two. We both pulled blue.

I breathed a sign of relief. It was always more fun when we were on the same team.

Then we set up the rules for the day. Each team would head off in different directions, and take 10 minutes to make a plan. Then the game would start at exactly 12:30.

We made sure all of our watches had the same time. Then we headed off.

We had each walked about five steps in different directions when the attack began. They fired and fired.

We were all out in the open on the path. That meant that we were easy to mark.

I dove for the bushes, but it was no use. I was marked right away. In about a minute, we were all lying on the ground, curled up like little balls.
