"Eli's" Pov.... "Okay Ezra, now we've gotta do something." I say putting a hand on his shoulder. "Without you getting caught.. Cause if that happens we're both toast" I tell him. "Okay... I think I have an idea." Ezra said sitting up. "You do? Alright tell me kid." I ask desperately. "You see that rolling crate?", he pauses. "Yeah." "When all the troopers leave the main headquarters, you can roll me in that crate outside and I can escape!" He said full of energy. "Ezra it's not that easy." I say slumping down. "Sure it is! I have faith in you Eli, And with a little faith you can do the impossible." He said looking in my brown eyes.

       "Your right kid.. I'll do it for you Ezra, but where will you go? I mean you don't have a home." I say reluctantly. "Wait... H-how'd you know that?" He asked with a worried expression. "I guess I just did? I don't know." I say trying to hide the fact that I was there. "Okay...." He says looking at me suspiciously. I look at the time, "It's about 7:00." "They'll be gone at about 11:35, Can you stay awake past then? Do you think?" I ask. "Yeah I'm a pro at this kinda stuff." He said. "Wait but.. You didn't answer my question.. Where will you go?" I ask. "I don't know Eli.. But I'll figure it out." He said. "Kid, I don't want you to be alone." I say. "It's fine Eli.. You've got your own stuff to worry about." Ezra said with a smirk. Well I trust him.. He's a strong kid... I hope.
