Crispin: Cross of Lead Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Crispin scrambles back into the garden and bursts through the back door, where he finds John Ball, Bear, and six other men meeting.
He yells that the soldiers are coming, and the meeting breaks up in a hurry.
Everyone runs out the back way, and Bear takes charge, lifting everyone over the wall; Crispin is the last to go.
Once he lands on the other side of the wall, Crispin stops to listen and hears Bear being taken prisoner.
Unable to leave Bear to his fate, Crispin scurries back over the wall. Everyone is gone, though, and inside, everything has been overturned.
At the front door, Crispin runs into a soldier, who unsuccessfully tries to catch him. Either Crispin is really wily, or all the bad guys are really inept. Just sayin'.
Crispin runs off, wondering how to free Bear.
