“It’s unlocked”, said Leon. “Well, what are you waiting for, go in!” said the man. Leon opened the door a crack and saw what must have been 20 guards and soldiers all conversing. Leon peeks in, but is worried one of the guards will see him. “HEY!” yelled one of the guards, seeing Leon peeking in from the outside. Leon quickly closes the door and turns around to tell the man with him. As Leon turns, the man in black was nowhere to be seen. “What, where did he go?” said Leon. The door handle starts to shake as Leon realizes he should start running. As the door opens, Leon had already been able to hide himself in a group of people and protestors by the wall. Leon hopes that none of the guards saw him run into the crowd, and just as Leon thinks he’s safe, one of the guards yells “Hey, that’s him!”. Leon, panicking, starts running in the opposite direction in hopes of escaping. As he is running, he gets pulled into a nearby ally way. It was the small man in all black that he had been talking to before. “Hey man, what the hell! Is this some sort of set up?”, exclaimed leon. “Shhh!”, whispered the man. “Their going to hear you!”. Leon and the man in black hide behind some dumpsters as the guards and soldiers run past them. “Lets go, none of the soldiers are in the guard post.” said the man. He an Leon run back to the guard post where they had originally met, and sure enough, the door was open. They walk in and see two soldiers guarding the exit door to the other side. “Great, what do we do now?” said Leon. “You hide, I got this”, said the man. Leon hid under a table while the man in black walked over to the guards. As he walked towards them, he took off his coat and had been wearing a general uniform the whole time. “öffne die Tür” said the man, and the guards opened the doors willingly. The man walks back over to Leon and grabs him by the arm. As they walk through the door to the other side, the man in black simply said “He's with me”, and the guards let him by without an issue. As Leon and the man cross onto the other side, Leon is filled with joy and relief. “Thank you, thank you!” said Leon. The man said nothing, and walked away. “Wait, what is your name?” said Leon. The man simply turned around, winked at Leon, said “Manfred”, and continued on his way. Leon never got a chance to properly thank Manfred, but he is grateful for him everyday. Leon is now back reunited with his wife, his 2 daughters, and his new baby boy, named Manfred.
