It is late and so dark. People are home
in their beds in hopes they will not be disturbed by any sudden gunfire. There
are Union sentries all around. One could be behind any tree. Time is most
important can you make the difference? You know that the enemy can see in the
dark as well as you can. The shadows are thick all around. If one of those
shadows moved you have only one choice. You have to keep on moving and hope
that one of those hot mosquitoes doesn’t find their mark in the middle of your
back.
The message is important. It can keep
many Southern soldiers from meeting their Maker to soon. It is your
responsibility to see that the General gets the information that you have
gleamed earlier in the evening. If it is not delivered it is worthless. The
message is in code but the enemy would know that it is espionage.
Can you call-up your courage to make
this run? Yes, you are very young girl. The situation is bad. You are by
yourself and there are hundreds of Union soldiers in the area. Are you the
young girl that dedicated herself to helping the Southern Cause? Will you turn
your back on the Southern cause? Or are you willing to take the chance against
a large Union army?
