Chapter 15

Angelica fought to break free. She screamed, begging anyone to come help. She struggled to get back to Taylor, but they showed no mercy. She was half carried/half dragged through the jungle for what seemed like forever. Eventually they contented themselves with prodding her with the barrel of the gun, letting her know in no uncertain terms that lagging behind meant death.

Not that going with them was going to end any better.

They would kill her. Here or later. It was going to happen.

She’d known that back at the compound, hence her escape. Except, why they hadn’t just shot her and left her body alongside Taylor’s? It was beyond comprehension. They should have. To force her to march like this was only holding them back. Surely they had better things to do with their time.

She shuddered to think what use they had for her.

It’d be better to make a run for it. Go back to Taylor. Die there. Go down fighting. Do anything but this.

It suddenly became too late. The trail they were following opened abruptly into a clearing. The helicopter waited. A moment later they were airborne. As the clearing fell away beneath them, Angelica leaned toward the window, trying to find the ridge they’d so desperately climbed together. Trying to guess where Taylor’s body lay. All she could see were trees, until she even lost view of that through her tears.

The journey felt short. What it had taken her and Taylor two days to traverse was a flight of no consequence at all. It seemed like only minutes before they were landing.

They exited the helicopter in a place she recognized. In the center lay rippling water, sparkling bright in the sunlight. A handful of waterfalls surrounded the water on three sides. Behind one of them was the space the panther had fled when Taylor had fought it to save her life. She wondered if it could still be hiding. She hoped it’d come out and attack the men with guns.

In the grassy space in front of the water, the helicopter landed. How long would it stay, waiting for them to return?

Her stomach turned. Would she be with them when it left?

They shoved her forward. If Angelica hadn’t been still so numb with shock she liked to think she would have, at the very least, made a stand here. Even the panther would have been preferable to this.

Outside the helicopter they tied her hands behind her back.

She realized suddenly that they’d brought her back to the river where the plane had gone down. There had to be at least a dozen men there now, a few watching the water and the shore with rifles nestled in their arms. She wondered how many were making trips under the water to pull out cocaine from the downed plane. As she watched, first one, then two men rose up from the water, wearing air masks and hoses, depositing bundles on the shore before heading back under.

The plastic had proven to keep out the water for the most part, though a few of the bricks were beyond salvage.
