Gumball came to a rude awakening a few hours later in a jostling moving vehicle. His head pounded at the back of his skull, his eyes felt like they were about to bust out of their sockets. He opened his eyes and scanned the inside of the moving vehicle. He was in a what appeared to be a trains boxcar. It was like a small wooden prison cell, a small ray of light filtered through a barred window and his ankles had shackles around them that were attached to a metal bar that was bolted onto the wooden floor of the boxcar. All around him there were people of various different races, a man in a Russian uniform was asleep in the corner of the car, another man in what appeared to be striped pajamas was fidgeting and rattling the shackles around his pitifully small ankles, in fact it seemed as if all of the rattling was going to snap them in half. Most of the people in the boxcar were american pilots including the person next to him.
"Hey" Gumball whispered to the soldier next to him "Do you know where we are going?"
The soldier glanced over to him, his eyes were sunken into his face and he looked as if he were in an entire different dimension.
"It doesn't matter, we'll all die anyway" he mumbled as he turned his attention towards a picture in his hand that gumball hadn't noticed was there.
It was a picture of a handsome tall young man, Gumball assumed it was a healthier version of who was sitting next to him, and a pretty young women in a white dress.
"The Germans are ruthless and will trample anyone who stand in their way, I doubt anyone here will survive wherever we are going" spoke the Russian.
"Well thats reassuring" muttered Gumball.
He stayed silent for the rest of the trip until the train came to a stop and the door slid open. Three Germans jumped into the boxcar all armed with submachine guns. Two stayed at the entrance with their submachine guns making sure that they didn't try to run. The other soldier unshackled their ankles from the bar.
The germans herded them out of the cart and onto the hard dirt. Gumball glanced around him to take in his surroundings and noticed that they were surrounded by large barbed wire fences and rows of small wooden shacks and one visible large concrete complex.
"Jews and gays to the right! Everyone else to the left!" yelled a man with a megaphone.
Gumball followed behind the large crowd of people gathering towards the right. All around him people were beaten with batons if they strayed too far from the main group.
A gunshot was fired and the man next to Gumball dropped to the ground.
"Run faster you mongrels" yelled the man wielding the gun, he fired again and again someone dropped, this time it was the skinny american soldier that had sat next to him on the train.
"I said faster!" He yelled
Gumball didn't hesitate he ran along with the other people around him at lightning speed until they were ordered to stop in front of the large concrete complex.
"Get in a single file line!" yelled the Nazi that had been firing at them.
He shuffled into a single file line behind the Russian an in front of a scrawny American pilot.
Soldiers walked up and down the line inspecting them as they slowly walked into the facility. Gumball finally got to the inside of the complex and saw guards patting down people and directing them to one of two doors, each one was labeled, Shower/Duschen.
"Next, hurry up!" he yelled.
Gumball stepped up and the German patted him down and inspected his throat and arms.
"Alright, head to the showers on the left, hurry go!" he ordered.
Gumball stepped into the shower room with the others and stripped out of his clothes.
He was extremely nervous, Gumball had heard of what the Nazis did in their prison and concentration camps. This shower could very well be his last. He was almost confused when actual water hit his skin washing the dirt off of his body.
He sighed in relief, and began to wash himself.
Hospital in England
Darwin opened his eyes and it took him a while to realize where he was and recall the events that had happened.
"Ah its good to see you're awake now" said a distant female voice.
Darwin strained his neck to see who was speaking and saw a very pretty female nurse standing at the edge of his bed.
"Where am I?" he asked trying to sit up.
"You're in London, and we have arranged you to be flown home" she said.
"Why? What happened?" Darwin asked.
"You had some pretty bad burns on your body, it took a lot of surgery but we managed to prevent infection and repair your skin" stated the nurse.
"When am I going home?" said Darwin.
"We have your flight back scheduled in three days"
Darwin laid back down on his bed.
"Does my family know I'm alive?" he asked staring at the ceiling.
"No, we had already notified them of your death so its going to take a while for the letter to get to them"
"Okay good" said Darwin.
The nurse was puzzled by his statement, however she let it go and left to attend to other duties she had.
Meanwhile in Darwins head a plan was hatching, a plan that would get him into Nazi Europe so he could find Gumball. Darwin knew that it was a long shot but if Gumball was alive it was his duty to go find him, no man left behind.
