Chapter 28 Last Minute Packing

Chapter 28 Last Minute Packing

Jonas is almost ready to go on the journey, the bad thing is is he must hide his bags and other items so that the community won’t know he is leaving until he is gone. Jonas is not going to tell Gabe because of the fact that he doesn't know what a secret is yet and therefor not be able to keep it a secret. That would be a bad thing to have happen. This is because if the town doesn’t want Jonas and Gabe to leave then they could keep them from going home.

In the other sense if the city people found out and were perfectly fine with them leaving, they might offer transport.
