Resistance

Chaya proceeds to the designated place to meet her contact from Akiva and is surprised to discover that it is Esther. Esther informs Chaya that they are to embark on the next mission together and have to take the train to Lodz. Chaya panics a little, as she has heard that Lodz is one of the worst ghettos; everyone from Akiva had been forbidden to work there as it was too dangerous. When Chaya questions the orders, Esther informs her that Dolek is dead and the Draengers are in prison; the Gestapo found the Akiva bunker shortly after the attack on Cyganeria Café. Akiva is now being run by Antek, a high-ranking member from the very beginning who is only a few years older than Chaya. Antek hopes to start a resistance group in Lodz. Chaya and Esther walk down to the train station and Chaya purchases two tickets for them. After boarding the train, Chaya looks for a compartment they can travel in without suspicion and settles on one occupied by an elderly couple and a young mother with two children.
