Retrieving Carlos’s AR-15, I hand it to Leslie, who straps it over her shoulder. I grab his passport and the rest of his personals and stuff them into the pockets on my bush jacket. The last item to salvage is his video camera.

“How would you like to do the honors now?” I say, holding out the camera for her. “After all, media is your specialty.”

She grabs hold of the camera, fiddles with its buttons and controls like she knows what she’s doing. And as a former Columbia film school student, she does.

“Good. It will take my mind off Carlos,” she says. Then, while shouldering the camera, “What about the guide who was behind us?”

“He’s gone,” I say. “My guess is he ran off at the first sign of trouble.” But what I’m thinking on the inside is that he’s probably as dead as Carlos.

“Wasn’t he carrying food?”

“We’ll have enough in our packs. After all, we won’t need as much now and we’re only here for forty-eight hours.”

“Let’s hope so,” she says.

Rodney whistles to get our attention.

Leslie and I turn, focus our eyes on him.

“We got a go from Keogh,” he barks.

I nod, knowing full well that the danger we just encountered is not a one-time-only deal.

“Let’s go get this thing done and then get the hell out of here,” I say. “Keep your eyes and ears open, everyone.”

“Open wide,” Leslie says, her confidence brewing despite the death that weighs heavy in the air, like the thick jungle humidity.
