Ben finally returns from being sick and asks if he missed anything exciting. He’s surprised to hear Anna is still telling the same story but disappointed to know that it hasn’t included any battles. Mark is irritated that Ben is back and wishes he could have stayed home a few more days.

Heidi was awoken in the night again and told she had to leave with Fraulein Gelber. Fraulein wasn’t sure where they were going, but it was clear that the enemy troops were on their way, and thus Heidi was no longer safe. Three cars arrived, two to guard and one for them to ride in, and they drove through the night with no headlights. They were headed toward Berlin. Planes zoomed overhead but didn’t see them, and Heidi eventually fell asleep.

Heidi and Fraulein Gelber were taken to a bunker in Berlin and ate small rations, endured the cold, and listened to countless bombs fall. Heidi could feel the walls vibrate constantly. One night, Heidi awoke to find the Fraulein gone, and Heidi was alone.
