Under a War-Torn Sky part 2

When I left off of my last blog post, Henry had just fallen out of the sky with the most of his crew. Many of his crew members were shot down by German planes after they pulled their chutes, but Henry made it to the ground. When he lands, he is alone and in severe pain because he hit the ground very hard and may have fractured his ankle. Henry hobbles into the direction of the sunlight until he finds a dirt road to follow. The road leads him right into a small town with few pedestrians on the street. A bicyclist stops and helps Henry toward an old school building were he can rest and explains that Henry is in the German controlled part of France. He explains to Henry his hatred for the Germans and tells Henry he will help him get to neutral Switzerland. The man and one of his friends put Henry on a boat to Switzerland. The boatman carries Henry into a town and leaves him outside a hospital unconscious. He was found by two Red Cross nurses. When Henry wakes up, an American man is there to tell him what to do after he is let out of the hospital. He then leaves the hospital and is escorted by a Swiss guard onto a train. He is told to sneak off the train at a certain stop and is given instructions in creative ways to do so. He goes to a cafe in which he will pretend to be washing dishes as a disguise until another train leaves. On his way to get the next train, Henry is given a book that he should read on the train so that the next person in-charge of giving him instructions can recognize him and do so. So far this book is very exciting and I cannot wait for more.
