Excerpt:

"There; that's the lot hidden;" Sean heard his father say.

The other man whose voice Sean couldn't recognize replied; "We might need them after the big bomb on Wednesday; Kevin.”

"Aye; maybe Johnny. Come on; let's head down. I have a meetin' tonight to finalize plans fer Wednesday."

Sean saw them move off and was relieved. But instead of heading off in the other direction; he grew curious. Looking left and right he slipped over to where his father and his companion had been bending.

He studied the ground carefully. Searching around he found a piece of broken branch and began to scratch hard at the ground. Soon he had exposed a piece of thick cloth. He bent over and pulled hard on it; falling back. He righted himself and took a look; shocked by what he had unearthed; guns; bullets and what looked like bombs. Some long rifles lay below these wrapped in oily black cloth.

Guns and rifles! What does my Da want with guns?

He glanced about; then quickly began to bury the cache back up again; doing his best to leave the weapons as he had found them.
