Chapter Eleven
Lyons double parked the blue sedan just outside a comfortably large house. Without waiting, he slipped out if the car and walked to the front the house -better to be seen as a visitor than a thief. He pushed the button that was wired to the inside of the house -doorbell. He pushed two times more. The latch clicked and the door opened. Standing by the door was Mrs Jensen Parker, Colonel Martin Parker’s wife. Lyons took a quick once-over on the woman. She had on a pair of blue jeans and a loose white tank-top. In her arms was a child, just a few months old.
“I’m here to see the Colonel ma’am.” Lyons said, offering her a coy smile.
She assessed Lyons. The gum he chewed spoiled his formal appearance. She studied him for full ten-seconds, quickly analyzing his odd appearance. “My husband didn’t tell me he was having a visitor.” She said looking past him to the blue sedan. Something about him made her uncomfortable.

Thump. Thump. Thump.Sergeant major Sam Robinson looked down from the window of the chopper flying about fifteen thousand feet above the Brazil amazon forest. He watched the vast landscape unfold, as the military helicopter drop a few feet, like something out of a bad dream, a bad dream he was unfortunate to be part of. To him, and probably the other six men with him, this whole mission was bullshit and too crazy to be true.His attention shifted to the young rookie who sat across from him.

The walk was slow and painful for all seven men, and the supplies made trekking harder than it initially was. Painfully, they still had a few kilometers to walk before they met the Brazilian military waiting for them.“This is bullshit.” Kurt groaned. “Why weren't we dropped at the Brazilian camp?”“You’re to dumb to think so it’s not worth explaining to you.” Tyler replied him, taking a sip from the bottle of water she held.Kurt ignored her. He reached into his trousers and brought out his hands, empty.“Shit!” He exclaimed. “Shit, shit, shit!” He ran his hands along his entire body, digging into his numerous pockets.“What’s the problem?” White asked.Kurt looked up, his expression was alarming. “I lost our radio.”The entire group stopped walking, and all turned to face Kurt. Their faces was mixed with fear, anger and surprise. Wi

The morning came slow and steady, bringing with it the warm smile of the sun over the amazon forest. The trees swayed to the rhythm of the cold wind that blew across from the east.Cory was up, calculating their supposed distance from the supposed location of the Brazilian military. The grass he sat on was soaked with dew, and probably a few centimeters of rain- he could tell that by the muddy earth which they’d slept on.“Didn’t expect you to be awake.” Was the first thing Kurt said as he opened his eyes, looking at Cory.“The birds woke me.” he smiled.They both listened to the chirping of birds from the top of the trees.“well, lucky you, bird man.” Kurt said standing up from the mud. He looked at his khakis and groaned. Most of him was covered in mud. “oh shit.”Cory’s face gradually grew pink as he watched Kurt try to clean the mud from his khakis. His cheeks swelle

They had spent fifteen minutes wadding through mud, and over two hours washing and drying in the stream.Now, almost covered to the knees in mud and twenty minutes away from the stream, they felt their strength fading by the minute. They had to manage their consumption due to uncertainty and caution.As they sat on dirt and grass, each person reached for their bags, checking what was left of food. They rummaged through their bags, bringing out canned food and at least four bottles of water.“Well, I’ve got two cans left and a bottle of water.” Kurt said, putting each object back into his bag.“Just two cans?” Leigh asked.“Yeah, you got extra for me?” Kurt eased. “I gotta satisfy what’s here.” He slapped his midriff.Leigh shook her head. “I still got about six Heinz and four canned beef.

Leigh woke up in partial darkness. The rain had stopped, but the clouds still gathered tightly against each other. The air tasted somewhat metallic, it was thin and cold. Leigh coughed.As she sat up, she saw Tyler crouching beside her, smiling, more like she tried to smile. The fright was clearly displayed on her face. Leigh took a quick glance around. Except for Cory who looked out into the trees, they were alone. Tyler had her first aid box open, syringe in hand. Leigh felt the sting in her right arm, she cringed. Touching her temples with her left arm, Leigh coughed again and stared at Tyler.“you blacked out.” Tyler said.“yeah I figured.”Tyler closed the first aid box and returned it to her bag. She stood and went to sit with Cory.“Where are the others?” Leigh asked, standing.“Searching.” Tyler replied. “Sam said they needed to make sure. The wounds are still to fresh on them.&rd

The house felt tight, he’d managed to escape from his father, and now, sitting behind the door, head buried in his knees, he didn’t know what to do. He cried. Crying was a worse option than any other course of action at this point.The door banged open, hitting him hard. His father had heard him. Cory felt strong arms pulling at him, dragging him out from behind the kitchen door. He was flung halfway across the kitchen, landing on the hard tiles, tears pouring from his eyes.There was a clatter.Just a few centimeters from him was a butcher knife, glistening in the dim light. Cory reached for it. His father staggered heavily towards him, a bottle of alcohol in his left hand, and a belt on the other. He drank the remaining bit of alcohol and flung the bottle away. Cory waited, shivering. He was sweating.H
