Chapter 9 - A narrow escape

Henry tried to put up with the situation that day since it was nearly late and darkness was approaching. He went on with the training for that day because he didn't knew routes to follow after the escape. The day ended successfully though he was very tired after the day's activities. He took his supper from the kitchen and went straight away to his room to take the meal from there. He made this choice with a reason that immediately after food he was going to sleep. These were just preparations here and there to have enough energy to run away.

In the military school, it was a routine that after meals there was a meeting before going to sleep but Henry went against it. During the meeting, the sergeant on duty wanted to know where Henry was but he was told that maybe Henry was feeling tired after the training since it was something new to him. The meeting went on and immediately after there, a group of people was sent to confirm if Henry was in the room. They knocked the door but no one was responding. After some moments of knocking, Henry responded . He got out of the house to find out what was going on at his door. His eyes were too heavy filled with some sleep. The people at his door just told him to go back to sleep since they only wanted to know if he was in the room.

Henry quickly returned in the house, closed the door, clicked and went back to sleep. He was well organized ready to leave the next day. His plans were in position just waiting for the day to come. As usual, early the next day, the daily routine took off. A bell was rang very early in the morning for the trainees to go for training. Henry deep in sleep, he heard it though it seemed he was just dreaming because he had not slept for a long period time. His head was still heavy not to wake up at that time. He raised up his head slowly to listen and just heard a clear sound from the bell indicating time for training had come.

Henry went back to sleep for some minutes because he was still feeling sleepy. He was just resting but keen to respond to any sound from outside. He left the door open just incase the commander could come for him it was to give him an easy pass way. Outside were deep voices and shaking of the grounds originating from mascular men who were on their daily routine. Henry heard voice from the commander asking if everyone was in the training. This is the time he decided to take his hand bag and decided to run away. He first went out of the house to check if anyone was around. He quickly stretched his hand to take the bag after clearly confirming that there was nobody around. He started moving towards the direction that had alot of darkness. He successfully moved some steps without anyone noticing what was going on.

Suddenly, Henry reached at a point and just on crossing he saw a mass of light around him. He looked around and saw a security light. It was a sensitive light system that it could sense anything crossing around it and it just give out light. Henry knew he had been seen by the security officer and without wasting much time, he quickly ran towards the loophole he had seen the other day. Henry noticed that the light system was connected to a server in the office since immediately the light got on, it was accompanied by a bell rings indicating danger. Henry took to his heels and behind him were some voices.

Up to that time, Henry had not been seen. He went on running until he reached at that point where there was a loophole. He didn't even have time to observe the place he was to pass through. He quickly threw his bag at the other end of the compound and lied down. He moved down on the ground by the use of his stomach to pass through that loophole. In the middle before he wholly crossed to the other side, he heard other bell rings and this time it prolonged. Henry quickly crossed and just upon crossing, He heard pop sounds from the fence.

Henry knew it was an electric shock that was immediately set after the security bell rang. "I am lucky enough that I have crossed safely. What could have happened if the shock had found me still crossing? I would have died," Henry said to himself. He rushed quickly to pick his bag where he had thrown and ran away. Little did he knew the security officers were on operation to investigate what was going on. They followed Henry's footsteps though they were not sure of who ran away. The officers reached at a point where there was that hole and noticed that the footsteps entered through there. Henry on the other hand was on the run.

The officers ordered the power to be switched off due to the shock that was installed and just used the same route to investigate the matter. The all group of trainees were called from the field to confirm if anyone was missing. "Where is Henry, the boy that came here two days ago, " a no nonsense commander roared. There was no response. The commander called the names of all trainees just to find out that Henry was the only trainee missing. The commander called the officers who were on the investigation. "Hello, he must be the newly registered boy, Henry, who escaped as others were on the field training. Follow that boy and bring him to me live. He doesn't know the people he is joking with. " The commander hanged up the call and instructed other trainees to go back to the field and procceed with the training.

Henry was on the run though fearful of the dangerous monsters and other wild animals. The officers increased their speed to follow Henry as ordered by the commander as they conversed. " We must teach this boy a lesson. He can't make us to suffer this way. I know he has not gone very far. He is just around. Let us follow him." Henry while running, he sensed danger and decided to look back. His first sight was welcome by strong light from behind which immediately went off. It was followed by a rough voice, "Henry, just come back here. Don't force us to do something bad to you. " Henry incredibly inreased his speed and took to his heels towards a forested mountain. The officers also followed him at a supersonic speed with a beam of light.

As they moved closer to Henry, he decided to branch into the mountain forest. Since Henry lacked light to use in the forest, he just guessed the pass through. When the officers reached at the place Henry branched, they were fearful of entering the forest. This was one of the most dangerous forests in Miho. The forest had been inhabited by most dangerous wild animals like wolves, lions, Hyenas and many other.

As darkness engulfed Henry deep in the forest, he decided to use his analog phone as his only source of lighting. The officers decided to apply other techniques to find Henry. They ordered trained dogs to use them in finding Henry out of the mountain forest. It didn't take long before the two well trained dogs were brought. Henry in the forest was struggling to find the way to the other end. The dogs were instructed to follow the footsteps and arrest Henry. The dogs quickly jumped into the forest and began their duty.

Henry heard the barking of the dogs in the forest following him. He knew it was a counter attack from the angry officers. He decided to climb on the trees and remember it was around dawn and some light was in the forest. Upon climbing the tree, a branch he was touching on broke making him to fall down. Immediately he felt down, he saw a wolf running towards him. He gained courage and energy and ran towards the mountain slope. The dogs on the other side were almost approaching. Henry couldn't cry or laugh at the same time, he increased his speed down the mountain slope. Before the wolf closely approached him, he saw a hole between two large stones. Since the wolf had moved closer to him, Henry decided to enter this hole without inspecting what could be living in.

Henry entered quickly and pushed the stones closing the entrance. There was only a small hole left for air penetration. The wolf reached at the hole and started digging with the legs. Before the wolf moved a step inside, The security dogs arrived. The war turned from fighting Henry to a fight between the two dogs against the wolf. The wolf started chasing the dogs leaving Henry inside the hole.
