Things In Perspective.

     We finally had a next step, and we knew what this whole cover-up was about. It was very exciting, but it was very threatening. These people had killed thousands of children by accident, and then to cover it up, they had been going across the country killing parents, and anyone who spoke out. Allen had been doing a lot of digging, So I was certain at this point he was on their new, revised list, probably with a big fat underline. It made me very anxious. But he was so excited to know something new, he was almost frantic, which was terrifying in a way, and also a bit of a relief. Allen had been so down since yesterday that to see his head spinning like that was a refreshing change. He seemed like he might be ready to see his friends again, so I mentioned it to him.
     He didn't like the sound of that at all. He felt he'd be putting them into more danger, and while I agreed with him, It seemed like they were in enough danger already. We spent the day discussing our next step, and reading through documents. Greg had done his research, and when we had the context of the article, we were able to really draw a lot more information from the paperwork. I finally convinced Allen that we should see his friends at the bank, and let them know what they had been fighting for.
     We drove for three days, and arrived in chicago, like a blur. I had never been to chicago before, so it was pretty exciting, but of course, we didn't get to do any sight-seeing. Instead, we charged straight for the bank.

(I'm sorry this post is so short, I'll make sure to give you a longer one soon, but I'm on the road right now, and haven't really had time to write more. It's really important to me to do Allen justice, so I don't want to write junk and send it out there. Thank you so much for reading so far! -Jess)
