- Shauzia hides in a Taliban transportation boat that is going to Pakistan but she soons runs into an issue, She has no access to food or water where she was hiding on the boat. Shauzia decided her best bet was to wait until all the men went to sleep and ten try to steal some food. Night came and she quietly sneaked out to look for some food. She stupidly assumed that they were all asleep but she forgot about the captain. The captain caught her and woke the other men. The People on the ship wanted to kill her but they decided on taking her to prison in Pakistan instead.
- Shauzia was taken to prison in pakistan and most of the people there were grim and mean. She quickly made friends with her cellmate named Emily. Emily told her that they were the only two people in the cell because there was recently an escape and they didn't think the girls would be smart enough to figure out how. Then Parvan noticed a poster on the wall. There isn’t a poster in any of the other cells is there? Shauzia asked Emily. Not that i can recall Emily said. Shauzia had an idea. She tore the poster down and bust dust filled the room. After alot of coughing from both girls the dust cleared and a tunnel was revealed behind the poster. I knew it! Shauzia exclaimed. Suddenly she heard guards yelling from down the hall. Quick! Shauzia told Emily. They both climbed into the hole to the sound of their cell door opening
- They crawled through the dark tight hole in silence until a terrible smell arose. What is that? Emily said. Shauzia took in a deep breath. Sewage im guessing. They continued to crawl until the tunnel opened wide into a vast cement cavern. What do we do now? Emily said, Jump said Shauzia. She jumped and although the drop wasn’t far she tripped when she fell. She was surprised to find the ground was water (kinda). Are you ok? Emily asked. Yeah she called back. The ground is a weird mush that cushions my fall, I also think I know where the smell comes from. Shauzia said. I really wish you didn’t tell me that, Emily said. Emily jumped and landed right beside Shauzia. We need to get to the surface soon Shauzia said. I agree, says Emily. We will have to be sneaky, we’ll be wanted fugitives. Atleast im out of that god awful prison, said Emily. They continued to search for a way to the surface.
- Shauzia and Emily finally made it up to the surface. Thank god we are finally out of there, said Shauzia. Agreed, said Emily, I was getting sick from the smell. Suddenly the girls heard barking and shouting from behind them. We should probably get a new pair of clothes, said Emily. Really? Said Shauzia sarcastically, I thought it was a good idea to look like a criminal. They started running in the opposite direction from the noises. In the distance they could see a clothes line hanging in between two buildings. Maybe some of those clothes would fit us exclaimed Shauzia. Worth a shot, said Emily. As they approached the building Shauzia noticed a ladder leading to the roof. I’m gonna try and climb onto the roof said Shauzia. Ok, said Emily, be careful. Shauzia started to climb up the ladder. The clothes line was just in reach. Shauzia reached for it and barely managed to grab hold. She pulled it in and managed to get a shirt, a pair of shorts, and a hat for each of them.
- Over the course of the next month Shauzia and Emily made money for themselves in the markets in Pakistan. They found a nice old woman who lived on her own who was more than happy to let them stay with her. Shauzia and Emily found themselves in a routine of waking up, having something the old women prepared for them, going to work in the market, coming home for lunch, and then going back out to the market until dinner. One day Shauzia decided to tell Emily about her story from Mazar up to this point. That’s sad, said Emily, I wonder how your friend Parvana is doing? Good, I hope, said Shauzia. What’s your story? Emily hesitated before answering. There isn’t much to it she said, I grew up in Baba with a poor family. We didn’t have enough money for food so I tried stealing from the taliban. I got caught and ended up in Prison here. Don’t know why. Do you know what happened to your family? Asked Shauzia. Emily started to cry. No I don't. Shauzia gave her a hug and they continued their business in the market. But Shauzia started to form a plan
- A couple nights later Parvana told Emly her plan. We have to go find your family, Parvana said, they must be worried about you! Emily looked at Parvana with glassy eyes. You would do that with me? She said. Of course I would! You're my friend, My dad used to tell me stories about how you are nothing without the people around you, and I believe it. Emily wiped the tears from her eyes. We need a plan Emily said. I already have one, Shauzia, I've been saving money and bought us both food, a backpack, and a change of clothes. How will we get to Baba? The same way I got here, replied Shauzia, Via boat, another Taliban boat leaves tomorrow morning. Didn’t you get caught the first time? Asked Emily. Yes said parvana but i'm more prepared this time. Ok…… EMily said Sceptily. The two girls rolled over and fell asleep.
