"I cant believe that we got out of there" Tim says.
"We aren't out of here yet" Jesse interjects.
"Quiet!" Captain says, "We don't want the guards to find us."
"What do you want us to do now cap?" Tim asks.
"Those walls are at least 10 feet high, and that barb-wire would be too difficult to get through without disturbing the guards. What we need to do is find the key to the side gate!" The captain responds.
As they come around a corner Mack states "I'm guessing that it is probably through there."
"This day just keeps getting better" Jesse whispers under his breath as he looks at the gate encompassed by a laser web."These people are ridiculous!" Mack Curses.
"Ridiculous or not" the Captain responds, "We need to get through that door."
"It is probably just for show" Tim says cockily, as he walks towards the wall with a stick.
Captain seeing what Tim is about to do whispers quietly "Tim stop!"
But he is too late. Tim throws the stick at the lasers, and just like the Captain thought the lasers cut right through the stick without any difficulty!
"Just for show eh Tim?" Jesse says with a snicker, as Tim quickly retreats to the safety of the rest of the team.
"Ok boys there is no sense in waiting for the guards to find us here" The Captain says, "Its time to move forward. And Tim since you seem so ready to volunteer you can go first."
"I'm ready Captain" Tim says. And with that he moves towards the wall and finds the biggest hole that he can. After a brief pause and a muttered prayer Tim starts moving through the web. When Tim is almost completely through the web the team notices that the web starts to move!
"Tim MOVE" The Captain Shouts!
Tim knowing better than to question Cap in a situation like this, lunges the last couple feet, just as the laser passes by his head!
"No" Tim cries!
"Whats wrong Tim? Are you alright" The Captain asks fearfully.
"It burned my hair Cap" Tim responds with a whine.
"You have got to be kidding me" Jesse says putting his hand to his face.
"We don't have time for this boys, the guards are sure to have heard all this noise. We need to move now!" Captain states, "but be careful, that laser is fast."
With that the rest of the team starts to move through the web. Jesse goes and rather easily makes it through the web. Receiving an oh so welcoming look from Tim as he does so.
The Captain finding another hole waits for a split second and dives through.
"Be careful Mack the laser seems to be moving a lot faster than it was when we started." The Captain warns.
Mack coming up to the web hesitates for a split second. And starts to go through a hole. But he hesitates for a second too long! Mack screams in pain as the laser moving quickly hits him on his calf just as he goes through, leaving a large cauterized gash in his leg!
"I've got Mack boys. We have to move, now, we are sitting ducks right here." Captain says as he hoists Mack up and puts his arm around him.
Without a moments delay Tim kicks in the door and the team moves ahead.
Pause!

Captain and his team barely made it through that one. That laser web almost had them.
Like the laser web in this story our trials are dangerous and often very difficult to pass through. The trial is different for everyone and we often times cannot make it through unscathed. But with the love and power of Jesus Christ even if we make mistakes, even if we are wounded during our trials we can be healed.
Will Captain and the boys make it out? Will the team be captured and sentenced to death row rock? Find out by clicking here to read POW part 3 "The Wall!"
