Nyayang gets up and walks to the gate. Chuol sees this and says, “What business do you have at the gate at this time of the night?” Nyayang walks back to the compound quietly. Chuol rises from his chair. He goes to the gate and sticks out his head. Four men and a girl pass the gate. To someone else it might appear that the girl has been arrested, but the one who witnesses their passing knows something else is happening. "
