He was deep in thought.%u201cI know its forbidden, but I hid a firearm on me when we boarded the flight here.%u201d Norman said.%u201cSame here. I%u2019m not leaving before I have enough money to buy my farm which my pension was to pay for,%u201d Kyle said.%u201cHow will you accomplish that?%u201d Plum asked.%u201cI%u2019m going to create an army of the best fighting men from the soldiers sent here; an army of say, six to eight men.

I was only caught when I surfaced for food.%u201dAs they spoke, outside in the sky above the city, a small ship was coming into land.
