The sweltering humidity dripped from t= he broad green leaves of the huge trees that blocked out the sun,=20

yet did nothing to block the heat.

=20

 

=20

Even the cries of the Macaws and the m= any species of monkeys, seemed tired and worn.

=20

 

=20

A dugout canoe,

=20

old, patched and battered..

= =20

drifted slowly into shore...=20

None of it's three occupants bothering= to paddle...

the native guide,

Gre'gorycolmantz...

=20

a tribal elder from the Wa'syatchoo tr= ibe,

=20

still very isolated in the deep Ecuado= rian jungle...

=20

held his carved wooden paddle in the w= ater,

=20

just to steer it to shore.

= =20

 

=20

When the canoe slid quietly into the n= arrow inlet....

=20

silence rained momentarily...=20

 

=20

As if Mother Nature,

=20

Herself....

=20

Had temporarily suspended all motion o= r sound...

=20

To observe the coming events.=20

 

=20

the other native guide....

= =20

Umbikutiz...

=20

In the front,

Stepped carefully into the shallows...=

=20

Warily observing everything around him= ..

Especially in the water...

= =20

 

=20

The snakes...

=20

 

=20

Huge...

=20

 

=20

one of the village children,=20

swimming carelessly past the ruled bor= ders...

=20

Had been snatched suddenly by a huge a= naconda...

=20

Never to be seen again...

= =20

 

=20

He dragged the canoe halfway up the le= af shrouded bank,

=20

And tied it securely to the closest tr= ee.

=20

 

=20

Then the second occupant...

= =20

The only Caucasian...

=20

Stepped gingerly onto the bank.=

=20

 

=20

"How long will we be here.. Umbik= utiz ?

=20

 

=20

"Not know...up to Kandosnell...

=20

 

=20

He say..never travel river in middle o= f day..

too much heat...

too much dangerous animals...=20

too much enemy tribesmen on river...&q= uot;

"Well,

can you ask him how long he plans to b= e here, and what he plans for us to do...

I would still like to make up some tim= e on our journey..

=20

 

=20

"Kandosnell no here...

=20

Umbikutiz turned to the last man in th= e boat,

bent over,

=20

seemingly unconcerned,

=20

"Gre'gorcolmantz...

=20

que planes tienes ?"

= =20

 

=20

The addressed, just looked up slowly..=

=20

then continued what he was doing...

=20

 

=20

"He say nothing..senor..."

=20

 

=20

"I saw that....does he ever revea= l his plans?"

=20

 

=20

"Not too much..senor"=

with that..

Alex Leavandonkee...

a tall, lanky young man...

now headed by his widowed mother,

The Majority shareholder.

= =20

 

=20

shouldered his way through the screen = of drooping leaves...

=20

already wet before he had gone eight s= teps...

=20

Walked behind a big palmetto,=20

and untied the buttons on his khaki sh= orts...

=20

 

=20

His urination bringing a long sought r= elief...

=20

 

=20

he pulled a faded cloth, from his back= pocket,

=20

and swiped at his dripping head and ha= ir...

=20

The cloth not helping much.

= =20

 

=20

Again...

=20

for probably the sixth time today..

=20

He tried his Sat Phone...

= =20

No reaction at all...

=20

Like all the other times...

= =20

 

=20

Frustrated,

=20

he shook the phone vigorously and trie= d again...

=20

 

=20

To no avail...

=20

 

=20

He placed it back in his pack...

=20

 

=20

Over two days and no contact...=

=20

didn't satellites work around here?

=20

 

=20

"Bossman...

=20

Gre'gorycolmantz want know if you want= eat...

or rest...

we wait here for rest of party before = move ahead"

When they get here...we know"

=20

Gre'gorycolmantz say...

=20

I make fire...

=20

if you no hungry...

=20

we need to keep away biting bugs.

=20

I will unload all else later"

=20

 

=20

Once the goods where laid out,<= /p>=20

in the shade,

=20

around the canvas "tent",

=20

and a small smokey fire...

= =20

doing it's best to stay alive with the= quantity of damp green leaves constantly replenishing it...

=20

Was sending its smoke off to be lost i= n the damp shadows...

=20

 

=20

The three men squatted around a small = box...

=20

sipping at the banana flavored stout t= he Ecuadorians called beer...

=20

 

=20

"Bossman...

=20

why you come all the way out here...

=20

By yourself...

=20

You not regular person travel jungle..= "

=20

 

=20

"Right now...

=20

Umbikutiz...

=20

I am not at all sure...

=20

 

=20

I was supposed to be on a fact finding= exploration to find out if there truly is such a creature as the three hor= ned Yak..

=20

and bring one...or hopefully a mating = pair...

=20

if they exist..

=20

Back to our Odd Animals of the World P= ark...

=20

 

=20

we hope to preserve and protect specie= s of animals nearing extinction...

=20

 

=20

And we have also converted it to a bit= of a park...

=20

where families can view these seldom s= een rarities...

=20

Before they do become extinct."

=20

 

=20

"why you want do this?

= =20

why you not just leave animals in jung= le..

=20

better chance to live longer.."

=20

 

=20

"Well...

=20

I don't...

=20

Never did..

=20

I think like you...

=20

But mother wants to have this rare spe= cies included in our protection...

=20

So she sent me...

=20

probably as a test...

=20

 

=20

but she promised me a back up team and= constant communication...

=20

you know...you can always talk to her = by using phone.

=20

 

=20

Now, truly...

=20

 

=20

I have no idea what to do next...

=20

 

=20

Wait until I can talk with her...

=20

Or the team finally joins up with us?&= quot;

=20

 

=20

The stillness was ruptured by the snar= l of a leopard...

=20

very close...

=20

It didn't seem to bother the others...=

=20

 

=20

But Alex had read too much about hungr= y leopards,

=20

not to feel queasy deep in his gut.

=20

 

=20

seeing the look on his face...<= /p>=20

Gre'gorcolmantz began to chuckle, and = spoke to his tribesman...

=20

 

=20

"Bossman...

=20

Gre'gorcolmantz say...

=20

why you so worry?

=20

Cat not hunt us...

=20

we hunt cat."

=20

 

=20

"NOW?"

=20

 

=20

"no, no...

=20

when tribe need skin or tooth or claws= ,

=20

or big cat come around village...

=20

Not hunt now....

=20

we only wait..."

=20

 

=20

A shifting of the slight hot breeze bl= ew the "smoke" right into the middle of the men.

=20

 

=20

again...the tribesmen seemed unaffecte= d...

=20

but Alex began coughing uncontrollably= ..

=20

 

=20

suddenly,

=20

a loud buzzing sound permeated the are= a...

=20

 

=20

"THE PHONE...THE SAT PHONE!!!!...= "

=20

 

=20

and Alex ran quickly to get it before = it could "die" again.

=20

 

=20

"Hello...hello...who is there...<= /span>

=20

Hello...is anyone there..."

=20

 

=20

A brief burst of static was followed b= y the clear voice of his mother...

=20

 

=20

Alex...

=20

This is your mother...

=20

How far have you gotten?"<= /p>=20

 

=20

"Mom...

=20

What the hell..

=20

this phone hasn't worked for over two = days...

=20

And now...deep in the jungle...=

=20

You call me?

=20

 

=20

why? and how?"

=20

 

=20

"Alex...

=20

the phones have been working all along= ..

I just had nothing to tell you."<= /span>

=20

 

=20

"WHAT....

=20

YOU COULD HAVE ANSWERED ALL MY CALLS..= BUT YOU DIDN'T

How did you know they were not distres= s calls...

=20

In fact, I am in a bit of distress rig= ht now.

=20

 

=20

I have no clue where we are...<= /p>=20

What we are going to do next..<= /p>=20

=20

I am at the mercy of a tribal elder wh= o not only can not speak a word of English...

=20

He will not even allow me to know our = plans...

=20

 

=20

And I know the begger is always laughi= ng at me.

=20

 

=20

When can I expect the rest of the team= ..

=20

and supplies...

=20

And how long am I supposed to look for= this mysterious yak?

=20

 

=20

"If you listen carefully,<= /p>=20

"then..

=20

=20

 

=20

 There is only one way you will w= ake up when at war. The sound of gunfire and detonation was what woke Asa. = Men in uniform covered in ash and dirt tramped through the mud past her cot= Sergeant Brooks barked orders to Asa's squadron as they marched.&nbs= p;

=20

Asa sat up in her cot, contemplating t= he situation. She hesitated, then stuffed her wrapped feet into her boots a= nd slipped on her dull green jacket. Positioning her battle helmet on her h= ead, she stumbled to the staff sergeant. As she approached him, he looked h= er up and down.

=20

?Private Miller,? he said with furrowe= d brows. Asa stood up straight and saluted. 

=20

?Sergeant Brooks. I happened to notice= the diminishment of our squadron. It occurred to me to suggest??=20

?You will not be joining the squad, Pr= ivate Miller.?

=20

?But there are only??

=20

?You will not be jo= ining the squad, Asa.? He gestured to her feet. ?You have trench foot, Mill= er. You can't go back into combat after only two weeks.?

=20

?But Sergeant, listen. We only have&nb= sp;eight troops left. And one of them is stuck in bed all day= with trench foot. Sergeant, it's been two weeks. My feet feel fine. I want= to help,? Asa paused. ?I need to help.?

=20

Sergeant Brooks chewed on her words fo= r a moment. He sighed. ?Fine. But Miller,? he rested his hand on her should= er. ?Please be careful. We need you.? He patted her shoulder and handed her= a rifle.

=20

Asa took the gun and smiled confidentl= y, saluting. ?Yes, sir!? She hurried to the support trench and found an ope= n spot at the very end. She clambered onto the firestep next to a man with = more blood than dirt on his coat and trousers. He wore his helmet unstrappe= d, letting sit loosely on his head.

=20

It was Kallon. 

=20

Long, shaggy hair curled out under his= helmet. Though his face was caked with dirt and ash, his bright grey = eyes were prominent through the grime. 

=20

He barely glanced at Asa. An instant l= ater, Kallon realized who she was and his face lit up. ?Asa!? He grinned wi= dely. ?Your feet . . .? His eyes dropped to her boots and his elated expres= sion faded to worry. 

=20

?Kallon, I'm fine!? Asa laughed and ra= ised her rifle to the parapet of sandbags. She could tell he was concerned = for her, but he managed to reduce his portrayal to a modicum and focus on t= he matter at hand. 

=20

Behind the support trench, a gunman hu= rried into the small concrete building that held a machine gun. Asa squinte= d under her helmet at their oppressors.

=20

. . .

=20

 

=20

 

=20

Asa laid unmoving in the mass of bodie= s, the stench of blood filling her nose. That smell was all too familiar.&n= bsp;

=20

The Keshi had had an unexpected advant= age in the War, and Asa's people were on the brink of defeat. How they'd ke= pt going was beyond her, but she would accept what she could get. She looke= d around with only her eyes, seeing conflagrations of bright red-orange spo= tting the distant battlefield.

=20

The night sky was further darkened by = black, endless plumes of smoke?the continuous gunfire and explosions that f= ed them destroying everything in their paths. There was no escape. Everywhe= re she went, the quiet moans of men dying rang war's harsh song in Asa's ea= rs, loud and clear.

 Asa had barely escaped the enemy= 's reconnaissance, finding a fair-sized explosion crater to hide in; h= olding a heap of crippled corpses, which she now laid in.

The corpses of Squadron Three. Her squ= adron.

She'd worked hard to bring a friendly spirit along when she join= ed the infantry.

Asa smiled, doing her best to push to = the back of her mind t= he fact that she lay with those same men, now dead and dismembered.

She remained there for hours on end?li= ngering, trying to portray that she was, in fact, dead. She waited until he= r muscles were relaxed and her breathing was slow.

Again = carefully glancing at her surroundings, Asa continued until she finally mad= e way to a small, crumbled stone building.

She climbed inside and held back a cou= gh. Only three of the walls were still remaining?two of which were also cru= mbling at the top. The structure didn't have a roof, and was covered in soot and scorch marks.&nb= sp;

Asa took the Armalite AR-15 rifle from= her back and began her crossing of the battlefield.

The battle was still in pursuit as the= soft glow of the mor= ning sun dusted the mountain peaks. It had only been an hour since Asa left= the small stone structure, but she still couldn't find what she was lookin= g for.

She had had to be extra careful. Getting herself caught wou= ld defeat the purpose of?

"Miller."

A deep voice sounded from the shadows behind Asa. It was lo= ud and booming, yet somehow soft and comforting at the same time. It was th= e voice of a commander.

Asa stood there and slowly raised her = hands in surrender. She closed her eyes and said a silent prayer that it wa= sn't who she thought it was.

Maybe I want to die, she thought.&n= bsp;This could all be over, I could just sleep . . . I . . . I could?

Just as quickly as she heard the voice, a mind numbing BANG filled the air around her. She flinched, looking down.

There in the shadows, she could see th= e silhouette of a man holding a rifle. An Armalite AR . . . =20

Asa immediately recognized the figure. It was in the way he hel= d the gun, the way he leaned on one leg more than the other, the way his he= lmet was carelessly placed on his head with the straps undone.
