Her father and brother would normally go, but today they have a different mission. So, Jana disguises herself as a boy, tucks a gun into her waistband, and rides off on horseback. When she returns just before nightfall, her family's campsite is deserted. There are signs of a hasty exit. She suspects that they were moved on, or arrested, by the local police or Slovakian fascists. She can't ask questions of the authorities, or she may also be arrested, so she contacts Otto, their Prague liaison with the Czech Resistance, for help. He sneaks across the border, and together they locate her family. Her father and oldest brother are in prison. Otto arranges to be put in prison with them, and they break out together. Then, they pick up Jana and the rest of the family, who have been forced into a nearby Gypsy slum, and try to flee the country.
