"Jillian." He put his arms around her and pulled her close against his muddy body, stroking his hand over her wet hair. "He's dead. I give you my word." Martim's skull had broken open like a ripe melon on the rocks below. There was nothing they could do for him, and he didn't want Jillian to see the body.

"Then we have to get his body."

"We can't. The ledge wouldn't hold up even if we had the equipment we'd need. It would take a team of experts to get him up."

She was silent for a minute, but he felt the fine trembling of her body and held her closer. "We'll come back for his body?" she finally asked.

In this case, he had to tell her the truth. "There won't be anything left to come back for." The jungle would have destroyed all traces of Martim's body by the time they could get back.

"I see." She squared her shoulders and pushed away from him. She did see. If she hadn't been so shocked and upset, she would never have asked such a foolish question. There was nothing they could do for Martim. All they could do for themselves was to continue on the expedition.
