After the last close call the two decided it was important to move quickly and carefully out of the country. The good doctor spent the night plotting their escape on amp while his sister regained her strength. When she awoke he was bent over the maps and charts. Sitting across from him at the table she examined his work.
“The red X’s show the two border checkpoints” he explained “They’re fairly close together and once we get through we’ll be home free. No one will question a doctor transporting a patient and will let us through quickly.” He continued “All you’ll have to do is lean on me and play along when we reach the check points.”
She agreed and they went to packing a light bag because she couldn’t be seen carrying one. Inside they tucked their maps a coats and some food for the day of walking before they hit a town in the hills where they could blend in and slip over the border unnoticed.
With the plan confirmed the two mad their way out of the village and after walking a few miles they found themselves approaching the first checkpoint. Doing as they agreed she placed her arm around her bother and leaned limply on him looking weak and in pain (which was in no way difficult since she was) as the guard approached they were holding their berth.
“Where are you two headed doctor Fang” the guard questioned
“I’m transporting her to a specialist friend in the country” explained the doctor “and we must make haste so we can save her strength.”
“I’ll need to see your bag” the guard demeaned
The good doctor dropped the pack and the guard began to sift through inspecting each piece of its contents. Finding nothing he suspiciously allowed them to pass. They were safe for now
