Chapter 3 "The Underground Railroad"

Tom was a great kid,” Mack started to preach at Tom’s funeral. “He was a friend to most of us and a best friend to George.” Once the sermon was over, George walked up to the coffin and placed a rose on it. His mom set a rose on next, then Mack, Lewis, and one more man. George couldn’t sleep that night. He was thinking about all the fun times he and Tom had when they weren’t working. “George, what’s wrong?” George’s mom asked. “Just thinking about Tom,” George said. “Tom was a good kid.” His mom said. “He was also a loyal friend.” George said. “Well, try to get some sleep,” his mom said. “Master Lewis is probably gonna be pretty stressed.”

When George woke up he found himself in a wagon riding away from the plantation. “Mom, what’s going on?” George asked. “Mr. Mack is taking us on the Underground Railroad,” “Mack!” Lewis screamed. “Get back here now! I don’t want to hurt you!” Bam! Gun shots were flying past the wagon. “Get down!” Mack ordered. Guards jumped on their horses and chased after the wagon. One guard jumped off his horse and on the wagon. Bam! George shot the guard with Mack's gun. "George!" There's four muskets in the back of the wagon. Give one to yourself and the rest to those three men!" Mack ordered. Bam! Mack killed the last guard with his pistol. "Alright, we're safe now," Mack said.
One hour later, they ran into a southern army. “Get out of the wagon,” General Robert E. Lee ordered. He was pointing a gun at Mack. “Where is the slaves' plantation?” “Back down south,” Mack answered. “Southeast in Virginia.” “But these slaves aren’t going anywhere.” Click, Lee cocked his handgun. “You’ve got three seconds to turn this wagon around,” Lee said. “Three... two... one!” Bam! “Mack!” George screamed. “Don’t worry about me and run!” Mack said. “The gunshot was the northern army general! There’s gonna be a battle!” Mack screamed. Bam! Bam! Bam! “Get out of here!” The northern general, Ulysses S. Grant, said . Mack, George, his mom, and the three other men booked out of there. “Keep running!” Mack screamed. Bam! Bam! Bam! All three of the men dropped dead. “No!” Mom screamed. “Mom get back!” George screamed. George ran and pushed his mom on the ground and, BAM! “OW!” George screamed. George was shot in his right leg. “Mrs. Tucker! Get up and help me carry George!” Mack screamed. “Ah! Take it easy! George demanded. Bam! The northern army was pushing through the southern army. Bam! Mack dropped George. “Mr. Mack!” Mom screamed. Mack was hit right on the spine. Bam! “That’s all of them, we’ll give you shelter at our camp,” Grant said.
