Dr. Silva had been wrong. The Auca guard didn’t leave the house to chase him. Instead, the Auca stood in front of the house. He shouted into the jungle.

Beth thought he must be contacting the other members of the clan. She knew she had to leave the house quickly. Dr. Silva might get too far ahead of her. She was afraid she would never find him again.

The guard now faced away from her. He was still looking into the jungle and hollering.

Beth took the white bag, leaving the ancient map behind. Then she sneaked out the back of the house. She stared into the thick trees and twisting vines.

Which way is east? she wondered. Since she didn’t know, she listened for the sound of water. She moved toward it.

Her heart beat louder with every second. Even her breaths sounded loud to her. She felt sure the Auca man would hear her. Surely he would capture her.

Beth tried to be quiet. But each step she took made a crunching sound. Certainly the man would be able to follow her tracks.

The cockroach in the bag wriggled and flapped its wings. It sounded way too noisy. Beth wished it would be still.

She noticed the rain forest had become much quieter. The Auca guard had stopped hollering.

He must know I’m gone, Beth thought.

The chase was on.
