___PREFACE___ 2 minutes that is all I had to get pass this solider. Maybe he wanted to flirt with a pretty Mexican girl or for her to flirt back, but only 2 minutes. Hola I said with a friendly smile. ¿cómo está? Of course I did not want to know how he was doing but I needed to keep him distracted from the bag. If I made one slip up he would probably kill me with in seconds. I can't mess this up or everything I worked for, everything I dreamed for would be a waste. He put a hand on my shoulder and said estoy muy bien as if we where old friends. I learned early on from my dad to not to smuggle anything in my coat or sleeves. You can only be stupid once and the game was over. That's all there is to it. Today my goal was to pass this solider and sneak in potatoes into well... No time to tell we need to go! He is already unsure of me! He frowns and asks why are you so young? I say I am not I am 14, I am just small for my age that's all. That was totally a lie but I can't let him know my true identity. Or... Or I will be shot dead before I can blink one last time. He is still unsure but he let's me through. I then quickly walk through not looking back and I focus on handing out as many potatoes I can before I run out or if someone sees me. I finally finish and I sigh with relief. This is no game its fighting for your life and that is it!
This book is for my dad who always keeps going even when things get tough very tough. Notes I will write as many chapters as I can each week. Please comment if you like it so far :)
