I felt this was going to end badly for us. We ran by the fishermen and I saw the light coming from fishermen hats reflecting on Abba’s bald head. I knew that they were watching us because of it. The light got bigger. The helicopter was above us and was flaying slowing behind us. It scared me more. We kept running and running. I was thinking in my head, we can’t escape from a helicopter. So, I stopped and Abdul stopped with me. Cody and Abba kept running!
