Chapter 8

Mexico - The Recent Past: Reese and the group of escapees meandered through a small jungle creek in the opposite direction of the cartel camp.

“Do you really think walking in the creek is helping?” Tom said, as he tried to dislodge his left foot from thick mud. “This river must be filled with snakes, and god knows what else.”

“Trust me buddy, the poisonous snakes are the least of your worries.” Reese said. He shook his head.

“What are the chances that we’re making it out of here alive?” Jessica asked.

“You mean you don’t want to talk about the local wildlife like Tom?” Reese asked. “I’m sure we can spot some rather interesting species along the creek.”

Tom finally pulled his leg loose and let out a huff.

“No way to sugar coat this one Jess,” Reese said. “It’s not looking great.”

“Great,” Tom said. “More good...”

Tom was interrupted by the chopping blades of a helicopter in the distance. Reese signaled aggressively for everybody to get out of the creek and underneath the thick leaves of a giant tree.

“It looks like Hector is in that helicopter,” Reese said to the group.

“That man is a grade A bastard,” Jessica said.

“I truly get sick to my stomach just thinking about him,” Kate added.

The loud helicopter swooshed over the tree they were hiding in. Reese knew it was only a matter of time before they were spotted.

“What are we going to do?” Tom demanded. “Maybe you shouldn’t have rescued us.”

“Let me tell you what Hector Chavez is going to do to you if he catches us,” Kate replied evenly. “Just last month, a family of a local official that had the gull to stand up to Hector Chavez was found burnt alive in their house. There were three small children under ten in the carnage.”

Tom looked pale.

“She’s right,” Jessica said. “We don’t stand a chance if he catches us. Shut up Tom, and do exactly what Reese said. He’s our only hope.”

Reese nodded his head at Jessica, and then looked up in the sky at the helicopter.

“The three of you stay here, and under no circumstances are you to come out of this hiding spot until I get you,” Reese ordered.

Kate put her hands on her hips, and leveled her gaze at him. Even under stress, she was one sexy lady…

“Bring me with you,” she said. “You’re not fighting them alone. I won’t let you.”

The leaves several feet above their heads fluttered rapidly. The helicopter was practically close enough to touch. By some miracle, they weren’t sighted.

“All right, Kate,” Reese replied. “You can join me, but you have to follow my directions. If I say get down, you don’t ask why, you just do it. If I say shoot over there, you don’t stop to look, you just start firing. Do you understand?”

“Sir, yes, sir,” Kate replied with a trace of insolence. Reese found himself smiling. He glowed inside every time they talked.

“Now somebody give me one of those machine guns,” Kate said. Her voice shook.

Jessica wrestled herself up from the ground and hugged Reese tightly.
