Chapter Seven

The 12th century "Letter of Prester John" about a legendary Christian prince who lived somewhere in Ethiopia or the Far East, also mentions the fountain of youth:

"The miraculous spring is located on an island in the extreme meridian of the world, where long-lived people drew from its waters enjoying lasting health and renewal of youth."

The History of the Fountain of Youth

With Mario out of the picture, whether permanently or temporarily, Carlo was the one to take charge. He had been backup to Mario for years and he was ready to take his shot at being in charge. He wasn’t in second place because he wasn’t skilled; he was in second place because Mario was better. Mario was the best of the entire organization of Los Carnívoros. The fact that he had disappeared had Carlo on edge. If Mario had screwed up, then there must be some serious shit involved.

He had acted as though he was interested in renting the particular boat that he had seen the Americans leave in and easily gained information concerning the destination of the group. His informant hadn’t been able to tell him how long the party had intended to stay on Ile Moyenne, but was informed that particular boat and its captain would not be available for several days as he and his craft had been very well paid in advance to remain on call until the group left the island. He was subsequently directed toward another boat and captain which he accepted and soon had two other members of the gang on board with him speeding out toward the island.

As luck would have it, they met the boat that had dropped the Americans off as it was leaving the island. Carlo lined up the probable location where the boat had been beached to unload and directed the captain toward the spot. Once they were dropped on the beach, they spread out and looked for tracks. They weren’t hard to find on the deserted beach and within moments, the three of them were plunging through the dense foliage along the easy-to-read path of the four Americans.

When they came adjacent to the trail that Peter had discovered not more than ten minutes earlier, they picked up their pace.

“They will be taking their time, thinking that they are alone or perhaps they are even searching. We should be able to make up a lot of ground and catch up to them,” he told the two that were with him.

In no time at all they could hear the voices of the group as they continued along the trail in front of them. He motioned to the others to remain silent and kept an eye on the one slender, nerd-like guy bringing up the rear. He stopped for a moment and whispered to the other two.

“Let’s grab the nerd on the tail end. Move up on them quietly and wait until the others drop over that rise and then we’ll nab him.”

The other two nodded their understanding of the plan.
