We all made a run for it! We ran to the gate, and as we ran, I tripped. Then I heard the roar of a shotgun! We all scurried toward the barbed wire fence, but Jem got caught in it as he tried to go under. His pants were caught and he couldn’t get them free, so he kicked his pants off and started running in his underwear!
After resting for a minute, we realized that because of the shotgun noise, the whole neighborhood was standing around in the Radley’s front yard to see what was going on. We realized that we had better show up or else people might start to realize that it was US sneaking around in their yard!
When we got there we saw Mr. Nathan Radley (Boo’s older brother ) standing with a shotgun by his side. Atticus was there, and Miss Maudie, Miss Stephanie Crawford, Miss Rachel (Dill’s aunt), and Mr. Avery.
