NSC English FAL Grain of Wheat: [General R and others leave Mugo

Question

[General R and others leave Mugo's hut.]  
'Forget?' General R asked in a deceptively calm voice. 'No, my friend.  
We must find our traitor, else you and I take the oath for nothing. Traitors  
and collaborators must not escape revolutionary justice. Tomorrow you must  
back to Githema and see Mwaura about the new plan.'  
The other three delegates walked some distance from Mugo's hut  
before anyone spoke.  
'He is a strange man,' Wambui commented.  
'Who?' Warui asked.  
'Mugo.'  
'It is the suffering,' Gikonyo said. 'Do you know what it was like to live in  
detention? It was easier, perhaps, than labelled hard-core.  
But Mugo was. So he was beaten, and yet would not confess the oath.'  
'It was not like prison,' Gikonyo went on, surprised at his own sudden  
burst of feelings. 'In prison you know that you get out.'  
'You know that you get out,' Warui said,  
as Gikonyo checked himself. It seemed to him that he had only spoken to empty air.  
'Sleep well,' Gikonyo called outside the house he had recently built.  
Warui and Wambui went away without answering. The empty silence  
harrowed Gikonyo.
