Running away and a swamp giftstore

My brother and I were hiding in a canyon behind some rocks. Suddenly some sort of armored car rolled up and stopped very close to where we were hiding. I wanted to stay still and hope that they didn't know where we were, but my brother shouted "They've found us, run!" and got up and ran away. I followed. We were running towards the edge of a cliff. We jumped and fell for about a couple of minutes. I yelled to my brother to spread his limbs out to slow his fall. There were pine trees growing from the side of the cliff that I could see as we fell past. We landed, somehow unhurt, in some sort of swamp. The islands were made entirely out of tree roots. Diving underwater, there was something silver and shiny in between the gaps in tree roots. My brother tasted the water and said that it was clean. There were no fish, but we saw some turtles. We were hungry and looking for food when I saw a landing upon which I could see some sort of shop. We entered it. I remarked to the cashier how a pin he was wearing looked remarkably like one I had. Somehow I was wearing my backpack, which had the pin, so I showed him.
