The full moon shone like a silver coin on the forest road as the car sped up. David began talking the points of the plan. The Huntsman would take point on the balcony that overlooked the Hall which the party was taking place. He would watch for any movement of the guards and Herr Obertgruppen. Phil had to make the distraction, before I searched for Obertgruppen's private office. David was in disguise as a servant. He would try to pick up any conversations from the party goers as he served drinks, these conversations might be info that the Allies might want to know.
As he talked, I watched as the dark trees rushed past. Then, a glint of light off metal shot from between the trees. "Down!" I shrieked, as I ducked to the floor of the car. Bullets ripped through the windows, splattering glass in every direction. Shadows of the gunmen illuminated in the gun fire seeped through the shattered windows as David kicked the door on his side and rolled out. Phil followed after the Huntsman also leaped from the sedan. I crawled toward the exit as the gunmen slowly approached my side of the car. I heard David's pistol go off as the three raced into the dark, foreboding forest. I pushed myself through and slid into the foliage. I turned to spot the driver, slumped onto the wheel. I silently thanked him and apologized as I raced after my team.
