Attack on kamator

The rebels attack Kamator, surprising everyone in the village. They go so far as to take the village imam hostage and demand he tell them where in the forest the other villagers are hiding. The imam refuses to answer and is bound and burned to death by the rebels. His body is left in the village square as a warning. Beah escapes into the forest at the first sign of attack. He manages to find Kaloko, but loses Junior in the chaos. Kaloko and Beah return to the village after the attack, but can find none of their friends.
