Echoes of Revolution
You lean just far enough out of the alley to yell, "They're making a break for the docks!" before quickly retreating into the darkness. The soldiers pause, exchanging glances, before pivoting toward the waterfront, giving you a brief window to move unnoticed.As a group of soldiers hurriedly passes by, a satchel slips from one of their shoulders, spilling some papers onto the ground. Seizing the opportunity, you crawl forward, grab the satchel, and silently retreat to your hiding place, eager to examine its contents when it's safe.You notice a precarious pile of barrels teetering at the alley's edge. With a swift push, they clatter noisily into the street, obstructing the soldiers' advance and causing enough commotion to let you vanish deeper into Boston's twisting alleys unnoticed.As you scan the alley, your eyes lock onto a pile of wooden crates stacked beside the soldiers' supply cart. You pick up a burning stick from the fire and toss it onto the crates, igniting a fast-spreading fire that compels the soldiers to divert their attention, buying you precious moments to make your getaway.
