We were ready to go back into the woods where we were safe. I packed up camp and grabbed our leftover box of supplies. I told Exo to go down the stairs while I made sure we had everything. I grabbed everything and was on my way down when I heard a scream. "Exo!" I dropped everything that was in my hands and ran down.
I looked down and saw that there was North Korean soldiers beating Exo. "Stop hitting him!" I got to the end of the stairs and kicked one of the soldiers in his stomach. He moved back while the other two came at me. They took out their guns and pointed at me.
"Alright. You got me." I rose my hands up while using my eyes to tell Exo to grab one of their guns. He got the hint and pointed the gun at them. They looked toward him and I grabbed the other two soldiers' guns. They were helpless. I went back up and grabbed our stuff, Exo still pointing the gun at them. We kept the guns and headed out. Exo was walking slower than normal. "Exo. You okay?" "They just beat me up a bit. I will be fine."
I lifted up his pant leg and saw blood covering his huge gash. I grabbed some rubbing alcohol and tried to lessen the pain. "Okay. I think you will be okay for now. We have to stay out of sight." I saw a shadow move to the right of me. "If it's you short guy, I'm in." He came out the shadows and said, "Good choice."
