What Secret

Noon, lunch time, after that Harry took Altair to the top of the highest building in the camp, there was 4 blocks and couple of small houses, the kids were enjoying the view, in a while Altair suddenly crosses a truck of military heading to the camp, he quickly went down stairs to meet Lara, by good luck she was in her room and Harry followed him asking what’s going on, Altair begged to Lara: “please Miss Lara the soldiers are coming to kill me, is there were I can hide?” she said stunned: “what?!”, Altair: “yes, I was running from them because they were trying to kill me! Sorry I didn’t told you”, Lara: “okay, okay, come with us”, Lara took Altair in a secret tunnel and asked him to wait here till she get back then she went to meet the captain, the truck arrived, the soldiers stepped in and Sam on the front, Lara faced him: “Captain Hawk, what a surprise”, Sam: “Lara, it has been a while, I’m looking for a young boy, he probably came here, did he?”, she answered: “I’m sorry but no new boy came lately”, Sam: “something tells me that you are lying to me to protect him, search the area boys, he’s here hiding somewhere”, Harry was afraid if they find Altair, he was pick looking behind a turn, then Lara reclaimed: “you don’t have the right to search our property?!”, Sam: “I’m a powerful man Miss Lara, and I do what I want anywhere I want”, after a while, a soldier came reporting: “Sir we found nothing, he isn’t here”, the captain got angry and started to think in something, then he saw Harry, he held him from his arm strongly and dragged him to the truck, Miss Lara: “No! Stop please, leave the kid, you don’t have to do this, take me instead”, he answered: “you’ll have him back when you get me what I want!” then they left and dusted the ground in their way out, Lara got much sad, then she get back to Altair, he got angry about what happened, then he told her: “this is all my fault, I shouldn’t never come here don’t worry, I’m going back to get him”, she tried to stop him but he insisted, he headed to his bed to gather his backpack, in the moment he was putting it on, his teacher’s diary felt down, he grabbed it, then he passed till the last page and read: “yesterday I found a little boy, a deferent one, so special that he could change the world, he was a…” Altair found the page taken off, he thought that the page surely will reveal the secret of why they are looking for him, he presumed that it will certainly be in the room the day he found it; a new destination was defined in Altair’s map, he took his 1887 and headed back home.
