As Brian and John started off the lights started fading in the distance but they could see the first set of lights. Yes, only 5 more to go. It went like this for awhile only talking at the checkpoints until they had one checkpoint left and they came to the roanoke river. There is a boat over there. I see it we will have to cross over by hand in the boat because there is no paddles.
Okay lets start.
So with tremendous effort, the two boys made it across the river. Their theme of not talking continued until their second river the Potomac. We can make it. C'mon you can make it, I see your family. When John heard this it gave him a burst of energy to make it across and had a wonderful reunion with his family.
