Peace

Just then, Joe stepped forward. "I need your help, I need my one wish to come true so that I can live a normal, happy life like everyone else." The Escapist looked quizzically at Joe, "What has been bothering your young man?"
Joe took a deep breath, "my family. I had to leave them to escape the Nazi's. I was the only one with the opportunity to leave, so I took it. Since then, I have sworn I would save them from that horrible place, but nothing has gone right. I'm making money, but not enough to get them back. Escapist, please! I must save them!" With that, Joe stepped back, in shock at his burst of emotion. What would The Escapist do? How was Joe's family going to be returned to him?
The Escapist nodded, "There is much sadness in your story, for I am The Escapist, prided in destroying Nazis, but I've been fighting them long and hard. They are a mighty force that I have been trying to reckon with. I did promise you one wish, and here you are with my golden key, so I must do my best to tear down the Nazi power and save your family."
With that, The Escapist disappeared, leaving Joe, Rosa, and Sammy, standing alone in front of the key-shaped mirror.
"Now what do we do?" asked Rosa. Sammy replied, "I guess we go back and just hope that The Escapist can win the battle against the Nazis."

The next week, Joe was back at his desk at work, as if the meeting with The Escapist had never happened. He didn't know what to expect. Would The Escapist go through with the plan? or had the Nazi force been too much for him? Joe couldn't concentrate. He could only sit at his desk and wait like he had before he found the golden key in the first place. He couldn't go back to that. Just then he heard people running behind him. He turned around just in time to see Rosa and Sammy, with a newspaper in their hands.
"Joe it's over! It's over! The Escapist has done it!" exclaimed Rosa.
"What?" Joe took the newspaper in his hands and read the headline.

PEACE
World War with Germany Ends
