"It's a trap, Henry. We've lost."
Lyn walked up to the door.

"I uh...didn't think about this part!" Henry told her as the began to descend into the streets. Cars were driving by fast, but there was a large truck that made its way down the street with a large bed filed with...something. "Okay! Let's aim for that, ya?!" Henry asked Lyn even though he adjusted their route so they were going ahead of the truck.
-
"Great plan? Try not to miss." Lyn dangled unhappily below Henry.
-
"Your confidence in me is overwhelming Lyn!" Henry told her sarcastically as the two got closer and closer to the truck.
-
"Sorry if you jumping out the window like a fool made me question your ability."
-
"You know what I-actually that's a good point." Henry admitted as the two parachuted further. Then, they approached the truck. Lyn saw her legs dipping into the truck, and as she was landing she saw its contents.... People. Her feet hit the wooden bed of the truck and Henry landed beside her. The parachute landed atop the heads of the occupants who seemed to be in a ruckus from the sudden arrival.
-
"Shhh! Calm down." Lyn hushed the people in the truck.
-
"Who are you people?!" Asked a ragged looking woman. Henry looked around and then went close to Lyn's ear. "They're slaves." He whispered to her. "We are resistance fighters, but we need you all to calm down." Henry told the packed truck of people. They began to whisper and rustle about.
-
"We're actually about to set you all free within the hour...err...well...two hours. Within the next two hours."
-
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Exclaimed one of the prisoners as they all almost began to cheer. Henry quickly hushed them however. "Yes, we'll be trying to save you within the hour." Henry told them. "But we need to get to the Coldbourne slave camp in Yorktown." "Then good thing you're in this truck." Said the ragged woman. "You're on your way there." [spoiler]End of Chapter 19[/spoiler]
