Which sentence from this passage contains details that should be included in a summary?
Capture the Flag
The borders were agreed upon and easy to see. Sycamore Street divided the purple team's side from the green team's side. Leaving the neighborhood would be out of bounds and considered a disqualification. Flags had to be placed in visible areas at mutually agreed upon locations. Margot, who was on the green team, and Patel, who was on the purple team, let their yards be the home bases for their respective teams. It was going to be the biggest game of Capture the Flag the neighborhood had ever seen.
The children scurried around the neighborhood the weekend before asking permission to play from neighbors who were more than agreeable. The community was tightknit—having block parties, sharing celebrations, throwing birthday parties for each other—so everyone was okay with the decision. In fact, some families set up chairs on the edge of Sycamore Street to watch the game unfold. A good hour passed before Mitchell yelled, "The purple team has taken the flag!" The green team members came running back into their territory to trap the thief who stole their flag. Little did they know Margot was hiding in the bushes clutching the purple flag.
