team stepped out into the jungle again. Helen was relying on the two local guides whom she had instructed to wait for their return to take them back to camp. But as they emerged from the dark passageway, there was no one in sight. She then turned towards the only remaining guide.
        “Do you think we can make it back to camp before dark?” He seemed uneasy but still nodded his head.
    “We should hurry. It’s not safe in the jungle after dark.”
    Jason stepped forward. He said, “what’s the matter? You afraid of the dark? Or maybe the jungle spirits might get you?”
    That instant before anybody knew what was happening, Jason took out his Colt and fired a shot at a nearby tree. The bullet hit its target, leaving a large hole right in the middle.
    “Nobody or nothing can survive a shot from this baby,” said Jason.
    Helen went up to him with a bewildered look on her face.
    “You crazy son of a bitch! You most probably gave away our location. Anyone close by will be heading our way now.”
    Danny shouted out to Jason, “put that away will you! We better get a move on before nightfall sets in.”
    Helen was right about Jason’s actions. The gunshot caught the attention of the two men, which were now heading their way, giving them the advantage of surprise. The men had reached the camp earlier, only to find it empty.
    The sun started its descent, causing shadows among the trees, putting everyone on edge. The local guide was not certain if they were going in the right direction. The jungle was silent as darkness set in. The hooting sound of an owl and the rustling of small mammals seeking food under the cover of the night could be heard rustling among the fallen leaves.
    They stopped to rest a few times to catch their breath, when Jason exploded.
    “For Christ’s sake! We’re going around in circles. This shit for brains of a guide has no idea where we’re going!”
    Helen came roaring up to him. “Oh is that right, Mr. Tough guy!”
    Jason went red in the face with rage. “I’m damn certain of it! We left base camp from the east. Which is the direction we should be going. This idiot here is taking us the wrong way. Every ten yards I marked a tree to make sure we used the same path by which we got here, and I haven’t seen one tree with a mark on it. Let me take the lead before we all end up ancient history.”
    Helen surrendered to Jason letting him lead them to camp. She handed her dimly lit flashlight to Danny, who walked side by side with Jason, checking each tree for markings. Jason’s flashlight was nearly drained of power, which he was only using to hide his ability of seeing in the dark. Nobody knew of his gift, not even his friend Danny. It was a secret he kept to himself.
     
    It was now completely dark as the two hired assailants were approaching Jason and the others. They walked through the jungle without a flashlight, carefully crossing over each fallen branch and rock. Now and then they would stop to listen for any sound from Helen and the others. They did not know Helen was being watched over by two FBI agents. They had no idea what they were up against.
    “I found one of the marked trees,” said Danny.
    Jason came to take a look, and then glanced over at Helen, saying, “this tree shows us the way back to camp.”
    His voice was heard by the two assailants, Carlos and Diego. They took cover behind a large boulder, waiting to see if the people approaching are Helen and her team. First, they saw Jason and Danny, then the guide and lastly Helen.
    Carlos the taller of the two said, “there she is.”
    Diego pointed at Jason and Danny.
    “Who do you think those two are? They look American. Maybe some friends of the woman.”
    “The big guy in front could be a friend of hers, but the other one looks like a cop,” said Carlos.
    They waited until Helen and the others passed them by.
    Diego, the short chubby one said, “better we wait until they reach camp. I say we shoot the three men while
