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

It was just two minutes after three when Sam decided to check their food situation. 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

A black Mercedes 4matic pulled up just in front of President Jeffery Robinson’s summer house in Lansing, Michigan. The woman that stepped out of the car wore a red clean cut gown that revealed a modest part of her legs and added more to her figure than necessary. She was beautiful, and she walked with such grace that made her look forty years younger than her fifty-nine.She walked into the over large summer house which was guarded heavily with agents in black suits. It made them look like spies in action movies. They were all too formal for her. To her, she was the classy girlfriend of the President of the United States, and he just couldn’t get tired of her. She had him wrapped around her finger, and they had managed to keep their relationship hidden from the press and the eyes of the people. It was safer that way.The inner walls of the house was decked with flowers, spanning from the top of the ceiling to the bottom of the floor, and expanding across th

 Something sinister was going on in the mind of Major General William Robinson, and Colonel Martin Parker couldn’t help but wonder what it was. He watched the General lock his fingers together in a tight grip. His attention was on the paperweight that sat on a bunch of blank papers.The Colonel had never seen the General like this  before. He was calm and collected, even in the face of death.Both men went a long way back. They had been cadets when they were about eighteen at that time, and they were best friends. About two years later, they were into the infantry units together, going on missions in several countries until fifteen years ago when William was given the post of Major General. It was only four years later that Martin was promoted to Colonel.Colonel Martin Parker understood the General almost better than any other person, and looking at the General now, he knew the man was cooking up something, and was going to be bad for the victim
