Chapter 15

The group consisting of Tony's family and Doug and Sheila were gathered in the living room of Doug's house as soon as night had fallen.

"Alright," Tony said to them all. "Does everyone know what to do if we get separated? Chris?" He asked his youngest son.

"Head for the old sewage gate in the forest and hide in the tunnels." Chris answered

"That's right darling." Cori said, "And if for some reason you can't make it there then you head for Dwyer's Tavern. There's an entrance to the tunnels in his cellar."

"Yeah." Doug said. "I've already been in touch with ol' Dwyer and he knows what's going on. He's more'n happy ta help!"

"Alright." Cori said "I guess that's that then." She turned to her brother, tears starting in her eyes. "I'll never forget all you've done for us Douglas."

"Ah well." Doug said choking back his own emotions and enveloping his sister in a bear hug. "Tweren't nuttin."

"I've made ya some sandwiches for yer journey." Sheila said tearfully. "Please make sure that Douglas stays safe takin ya to the landing!"

"I promise." Cori said hugging her sister-in-law.

Hugs were exchanged all around until finally Tony said. "Alright, it's time. Remember to keep your heads down and to be quiet."

The group moved in silence towards the back porch door and crept out into the night. They spied the two jeeps of the Matucan brothers, who were taking them to the landing at the cove, out in the back yard. The brothers were each seated in them.

"There they are." Tony said. "Let's go."

They strode silently but quickly across the grass. All of a sudden lights blared and men dropped out of the trees seemingly from nowhere. There were guns pointed at them from all directions.

"Freeze!" An order was yelled at them. "Don't move!" Tony heard as he was grabbed roughly and shoved face first into the hard ground.

"DAD!' Timothy roared and ran at the men who were holding his father down.

"NOOO!" Cori screamed, kicking the gun out of the hand of the man aiming it at her son, a second before it went off with a loud bang and everything around her went black.
