Narrative Writing (blessing in disguise)

Jumping over from the log in their way & after regaining their pace Tom & Jack continued to ran after the leader of the gang. He was nicknamed by his fellas Slip Gun because of his extra ordinary avoiding the chase abilities. Surrounded by dense forest they were following the track leading to now here.

Jack was suddenly troubled by a thought which made him halt at the spot, Tom turned back to question his younger brother & was tripped by a rock which came in his way & was not noticed by him. Jack questioned "what if he is leading us to his hide out? there we will be out numbered by his gang". Tom replied that their priority should be that they should not let Slip Gun escape.

Reluctantly Jack proceeded to follow his brother who was more athlete type. This time they were just following the fading foot prints of the criminal. Tom noticed that the path was gradually becoming more rocky and rough & foot prints could no longer be seen! The boys were in the middle of dense woods & the only thing their family know about their positions was that they were out.

"Our only chance to catch that Slip Gun is that dad should come this way in search of us," Tom exclaimed with fear in his tone. After few minutes of running on the track the path came to a dead end & there were no traces of Slip Gun. This filled the boys with the feeling of horror as they realized they were being trapped. Group of men emerged from their backs pointing rifles at them & one of the broad shoulder man stepped forward ordering the boys to kneel down with hands at the back. "We meant no harm" Jack claimed "We will see about that," Slip Gun replied who was tan faced and heavily breathing.

The boys were taken to a hut which was just few steps back from the passage between the trees they just missed. As soon as they were taken there they heard whirring sound above them more like a helicopter and their eyes twinkled. Suddenly a group of people slammed through the door and took all the criminals present in the room by surprise then a recognizable figure steped into the room & stretch his arms with full length & the boys delightedly ran into their father.

Their father later explained how he was able to track the boys after seeing their bike parked outside the forest & then deciding to take the aerial view of the place & spotting the empty space between the trees. He rewarded his sons with thrice their pocket money as they had helped to catch not only Slip Gun but spotted his hideout & his other partners.

So running into the hideout proved to be a blessing in disguise for them.
