Hold your hands up in surrender

From Create Your Own Story

You quietly surrender to the armed men. As they approach, you see they are civilians, although they have a somewhat hardened look and are carrying their pistols and rifles with the practiced ease of people who know how to use them. One of them, a bespectacled young man with a stubble, talks to you in French-accented English:

"You're the one who's bringing us the guns?"

"Yes," you answer. "They're in the hold."

"Glad you could make it. When we heard the artillery, we thought they had shot you down." He turns to the man who appears to be the leader, and they exchange a few words in French. Then he tells you: "Better hurry up, sir. The Germans will come to investigate the crash. We have to get the guns out of sight."

The resistants quickly unload the Sten guns and ammunition. There is not enough time or enough men to carry everything back to the Resistance's base, but what cannot be carried can easily be hidden until morning. In that kind of shrubland, the Germans will never find the cargo.

"Let's go," the young man tells you as soon as the task is done. "We're going to the headquarters."
