One of the spoke. "We can't. If we run, they will kill us, they'll kill our families."Crys debated the issue for a few precious seconds, but they would not budge.  Finally she gave up, and shifted gears.  "I met a little girl named Gortie -"A woman in one corner gasped. Crys pulled her out into the open. " can take you to your daughter.""No- I-is she safe?""Screw this," said Crys under her breath.  She quickly cast a charm on Gortie's mother. "Follow me.""Of course," agreed the woman, following Crys out.Crys and her new friend fell back, stopping to help Ulric while Eli brought up the rear, still shooting down any soldiers that got too close.The soldiers did not pursue, seeming satisfied to have reclaimed the station.  And the heroes limped back to their hideout.Later, they heard an amplified voice calling out to the entire town.  Gortie's mother started to cry.  Crys reached over and touched her shoulder, casting Tongues one more time, and she was able to understand what was being said."Citizens of Selinka, we have tried to avoid this, but you leave us little choice. Today the terrorists and criminals that call themselves the Polish free army attacked the Selinka train depot and killed at least twenty of the brave soldiers helping to liberate your country from the depravations of the Russian Empire.  Now, with so many of the heroes of the Reich dead, you know that we have no choice.  The Fuhrer has declared that for every German soldier killed by partisans ten civilians will be put to death.  "But I will show you that I can be merciful.  Tonight only twenty will die.  Tomorrow, at noon, another twenty will die, and twenty more at sundown -- at noon and sundown everyday twenty more will die until two hundred have died and the fury of the Reich has been satisfied.  That is they will die unless the Partisans responsible for this cowardly attack turn themselves in, or are turned in."But tonight, some must die for the sins of others.  How many more will die?  Only you know."</blockquote>
