The Jigsaw Puzzle

"Quickly, you must hide!" he said. "Get inside the house. The soldiers are coming!"
Edmund's father ran inside.
"Quickly!" shouted Edmund. "We must help my father to hide. The soldiers mustn't find him."

As often happens, the children are in some danger here. Will the soldiers kill them

if they don't reveal Edmund's father's hiding place? The soldiers are checking the floor and the walls. Will they find Edmund's father anyway? Is there any way for him to get away?
