Chapter
Eight
Laura watched out the window as the Nazis drove her somewhere. From time to time she would bang on the window and shout. "Help! Help me!" But no one paid any attention to her, much less, tried to help her.
She sighed. She knew that they were afraid of the Nazis and were not about to interfere with what they were doing.
Laura looked at the beautiful blue sky. It had been three days since she had last felt the wind of seen a tree. Even as a prisoner, it felt good to see the outdoors again.
After driving for about an hour they pulled up to a newly built building in the country. Laura was led to a nicely furnished room and then locked in.

"Where's the girl?" Von Ran asked.
"This way, sir." a solider said leading the way to the room where Laura was being kept. They found Laura pacing but she whirled around when they entered.
"Where's Dr. Jones?" She demanded. Von Ran reached forward and stroked her cheek.
"You are most beautiful when you're angry." He said. She moved away from his hand. "Here." He handed her a white box tied with a maroon ribbon. She took it warily, wondering what it held. :Put this on then knock on the door when you are done."
He and the officer left, shutting the door behind them.
Laura opened the box and inside was a magnificent maroon colored dress. The dress had frilly straps and a full skirt. Another frilly strap hung down each shoulder with sheer cloth sewn to it that flowed down her arms like sleeves.
She slipped out of her warn blue dress and pulled on the silky, new one. She then used the ribbon from the box to tie her hair back into a half pony tail.
She knocked on the door to let them know she was done dressing. This time only Von Ran entered.
"My, my... you look absolutely ravishing! Well, we must go now." She went to pick up her old dress but he stopped her. "Leave them." He said. "Fallow me." She did. "And," he added, "don't try to escape. This building is guarded at every entrance." Laura had just been thinking of escape but now she just fallowed him.
"Where is Dr. Jones?" She repeated.
"You will see him shortly." Von Ran said. Laura thought he sounded excited. They came to a wooden door and Von Ran opened it. Laura gasped when she saw what was just beyond the door.
In the room were devices that Laura knew the Nazis used to torture prisoners. In the middle of it all was a small cylinder shaped room, Laura's face paled.
"A gas chamber..." She whispered breathlessly.
