They hailed him and let him and his family cross the border. They also urged him to be careful, vigilant and alert as the enemy (FG militia) are hell bent on destroying the people Western Jakapa. Thomas complained of being hungry likewise Benita and Jake. The official offered to take them to the military camp where they could atleast have something to eat as his wife was preparing a delicious meal. On their arrival to his apartment, the wife came out to exchange pleasantries with her husband and eventually the visitors. His husband did the introduction urging her to make them feel at home. After much discussions and conversations, food was dishes and they all ate to satisfaction before the official answered a call and opted for him to excuse himself as duty calls. He assured everyone that everything is fine that he would be back soon. He picked up his Ak47 automatic rifle and left the house. From his facial expression and disposition, it was clear even to the blind that there is a problem as danger looms. There was a pin drop silence as everyone was pondering in thoughts within themselves and the kids have already slept off. All of a sudden, sounds of explosion rocked nearby and followed by gun shots.
