The Trap... Part 2

February 28,1944

Corrie went back upstairs after the talk with this man. After awhile she fell asleep because being sick just takes s much out of you. Inher dream she said she kept on hearing a bell ringing, but when she woke up it definately wasn't a dream. She had no idea what was going on. She didn't think there was a drill today. It wasn't a drill sadly enough. As she opened here eyes she could see the Jews rushing themselves into the secret room and going as fast as possible to shut the door.
The door flew wide open adn a man stood in the doorway.
"What is your name?"
"Cornelia Ten Boom."
"Get up. Get dressed. So your the ring leader, huh? Tell me now! Where are the Jews?"
"I am sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Let me guess...you have no idea about an underground ring either. Well, we will just have to see about that!"
She stumbled down the stairs wondering if the prayer meeting had ended and was also wondering if Willem, Nollie, and Peter had all gotten away safely. Then once she rounded the corner she saw Father, Betsie, and Toos all lined up against the wall sitting in chairs. A Gestapo named Kapteyn took her into the front room and slammed her against the wall.
"Where are the Jews?"
"There are no Jews here." Then the man struck her aggressively across the face.
"Where do you hide the ration cards?"
"I don't know what you are..." Then the man struck her again.
" Where is the secret room?"
" Lord Jesus," she cried, " protect me!"
" If you say the name again I'll kill you!"
)Thsi surely didn't get any better. Just worse.
