CHAPTER XXII
LOST IN THE FOREST
Lost and too caught up in the Amazon forest in Colombia, and the eight young Peter now must struggle for survival. None of them are armed. They need water, food and lucky for them to survive. All are walking in the same direction where everyone ran before.
- Pedro! We're lost, we're not? (asks one of the young).
- Probably! (Sergeant Brazilian responds).
- Would not it be better in returning to camp? They have already gone by this time! (another young Colombian imagine).
- When the army is the dwelling place of a cell of the FARC, they destroy everything they burn everything they bomb and they turn everything in a place impossible to be used again. Thus the military reduce possible points of future new encounters us.
- Do they managed to kill most of the guerrillas there in the camp? (a third young man asks curious).
- If we can escape, many others also managed (Peter declares and he keeps walking in the woods looking at all sides and it is closely followed by eight young).
- We could run away... enjoy! The guerrillas would think we die and they do not disturb us more (young fourth comment).
- We can not endanger the lives of our families...! (the fifth teen group declares wisely). There are more fighters in this region than Colombian military...! They end up finding ourselves again... and then we would all die.
- The best thing we have to do now is to rediscover the coronel Conrado... and other guerrillas who survived the attack (Peter informs). He told me that the new meeting point... was straight through the woods... following the flow of the river to the Brazilian territory.
- But that... is far from where we were!?!? How we'll get there... walking through the woods? (the young man who was just behind Peter asks).
- The second meeting point has to be away from the first... so that the military can not find us easily.
- I'm hungry and thirsty... and the river is too far away! (one of the teenagers complain).
- There is a vine... this kills... that has within it a lot of water accumulated. Is drinking water with a mild taste... bush!
- The hungry, my friend... I can offer you some... worms, maggots... or possibly some fruit... if we find them! (Peter suggests). But this is not our priority.
- Pedro! If you could kill Coronel Conrado... would you? (asks one of the young).
Sergeant Brazilian continues walking while he thinks the answer on this.
- I need the FARC to complete my revenge! (Peter tells the young man).
- So you did not here the cause?
- No! I'm Peruvian! I'm not Colombian! My cause is another! (Peter responds when he sees a fruit tree in your way). Watch! This is a foot of acerola! Pay as much as you can, but only those that are well red and soft. Otherwise it will be more bitter than it usually is!
Young people surrounding the tree and a dove flies away.
- Look...! There is a dove's nest here! Let's get the puppies and bake them?
- No! (Pedro negative). We will not have time to prepare a lunch! The longer we delay for us we reach our destination... the greater our chances of having that sleep in the woods! We need to find the meeting point before nightfall. Take the acerolas and you leave the puppies alone!
Young people begin to get the best fruit while one of them asks Peter:
- If you allow me a note... I think you do not look like a warrior! You care about the forest, with animals, with us. I do not see the same care with your other fighters, particularly with respect to the most violent.
- You do not know what you mean, boy! (Peter declares while standing guard, looking everywhere for signs of danger).
- I agree with him! (another young man says, speaking of his colleague over remarks about Peter). I also do not think you look like a warrior! And so I suspect that his revenge is not revenge upon which you comment! I think you are after something else. I do not know what it really is!
- I want to get revenge on the people who killed my family! (Peter declares, speaking half mad with youth). People important to me and they died at the hands of a ruthless killer coward! Therefore, never you doubt what I want or I intend to do here! I'm where I wanna be! I'm doing what I prepared myself to do!
- All right! You do not need to be nervous! It was just an observation! (the young states, eating another acerola).
