The Year of the Hangman (Post 4)

"It's General Arnold! Peter replied frantically. He's gotten himself into a duel" (131).

Since the last time Creighton had visited his uncle he learned a lot for the British cause. He had secretly decoded secret Patriot letters being sent out to the rebels. But his uncle was still not proud because he remained in bondage and he needed Creighton to steal a pistol from someone. So Creighton remained low on the scope until he could get his hands on a pistol. It was just then when Peter walked in and talked to Mr. Franklin about Arnold getting himself into a dual. But the best part was that Peter had Arnold’s pistol strapped to his waste. So the gang went and watched the dual but Mr. Franklin ended up stopped the dual by threatening to with the other people put to death. After the dual they headed home and Creighton pretended to fall and snatched Peter’s pistol from him without him realizing. So that night, Creighton stepped out of the house at like three in the morning and headed to bust out Mr. Gower from his captivity. When he got there Creighton realized that the pistol wouldn’t fit through the hole. So when Creighton tried to push the gun through the gun went off and the guards started attacking the prisoners. So Creighton busted down the door and tied up the Spanish Guards. Once the prisoners were untied Creighton tried to bargain with them into letting him go with them to where ever they are going. At the end Mr. Gower disagreed and hit him on the head with a pistol.
