Store skibe lå til kaj, og officere i ensartede uniformer gik målrettet rundt.

Large ships were docked, and officers in uniform moved around purposefully.

”Se de skibe, Freja,” sagde Mads og pegede.

"Look at those ships, Freja," said Mads, pointing.

”De har været her i årevis.

"They've been here for years.

Tænk på historierne!

He began to read.

”Det er præcis, hvad jeg ledte efter!

”Men netop som han var begyndt, hørte Freja fodtrin udenfor.

But just as he started, Freja heard footsteps outside.

”Mads, vi skal væk nu!

"Mads, we have to go now!"

”De gemte journalen under Mads’ jakke og skyndte sig ud.

They hid the journal under Mads' jacket and hurried out.

Sikkerhedsvagten kom tættere på, men de nåede ud og gemte sig bag en stor container.

The security guard came closer, but they managed to get out and hide behind a large container.

De holdt vejret, mens vagten passerede.

They held their breath as the guard passed.
