Freddie's eyes smarted from the bushes that whipped his eyes from running. Leaning against a tree, he held his breath, to keep quiet. He heard footsteps, running not close behind. Sticking out a stick, he tripped the person then seeing who it was, saw it was Babe. She stood up and glared at him.
" Ow!" She said.
only to be muffled by a bandana over the mouth and then with some twine he had, started tying her hands, pulling her into a thicket. She mumbled loudly, he didn't want to harm her, She was a lady. And his father said to never ever punch a girl, that was forbid.

Then, making sure she was hid, slipped off to the beach entrance, it was buatifull. The moon was shimmering on the ocean. Soon it would become dawn, he ran his hand through his hair. He was a mess. he couldn't believe he'd gotten into this. If only he'd get some gas and he'd find Dot and Herbert and fly them to hawii. if only.

The sand looked smooth and white in the moonlight. He walked a ways and stopped, seeing a fire ring, that looked like it was just put out a half an hour ago.  A bag of supplies like some food and utensils and napkins, a chocolate bar and a thin blanket. The blanket was green, like the army color. and come to think of it, he looked at the bag, it had the USA army emblen on it.  He sucked in his breath. Did that mean...did that mean the US Army was on this Island? he heard a curnch behind him. looking behind him, seeing nothing, he turned around again. and heard a gun click. 

" Stop boy!" He heard.

Turning around again, he saw a army man pointing a gun at him. Freddie pretended to see something and then took him down, knocking him down to the ground. He didn't trust any one on this Island. Taking his uniform, he changed into it and saw on the beach there was a inflatable boat. If the USA army found him, they'd probbly most likely arrest him for mistaken identity of being a criminal on the Island. he hated to do it though. Taking the gun, only for safety, he sat down, and rested. auxhasted. When he awoke, the sun was peeking on the horizen..
