After seeing the soldiers in front of them, Kelly's initial reaction was to turn around, and that's exactly what she did, but she soon stopped as she realised something. There were more soldiers that were standing behind them.
'Were they hiding behind the barrier of cars?' Kelly thought.
It seemed to be the case, from the other side of the barrier all they could see was a gap, but the soldiers didn't reveal themselves. If they were to attempt to head back the other way now, it was clear that they would be suspicious to say the least.
"Let's just stay looking in this direction for now." Zain said, as he bent down and pretended to tie his shoe lace. There were quite a few others that seemed to be startled by the sight of the soldiers and weren't heading forward, so they were safe to think for a bit… for now.
