The documents must not fall into the hands of the enemy. The soldier had traveled far and fought bravely to bring these documents across the front lines. 

Unfortunately, he was killed by mortar fire. His body was under a tarp in the old barn. 

The woman held the match in her hand ready to strike. She hesitated. If she destroyed them now, the soldier would have died in vain. 

She stuffed the documents into her corset and followed the map to the soldier’s final destination. Who would suspect a woman carrying a basket of fresh eggs? She needed to be careful all the same.
