Well here is the first of three parts...
Trouble in the Jungle...
Rick and Ian were not your average guys. They were faster, tougher and more deadlier. Each of them had been assigned to the same mission. To get into the Jungle, and destroy it. The destruction of the Jungle did not really matter to them. It didn't matter because if the mission was completed, they both would be a great deal richer. Their trek had begun in the early heats of the morning. Mosquitos and flies hung around them like poisonous gases, refusing to go away, and all the while they were being slowed down by the two, heavy parts that would create the bomb. The growth and vegetation got thicker and thicker the deeper they went. Rick pulled out a grubby map from his survival pack and pointed to the blue "X" - their destination.
"Were almost there" he quietly muttered.
And as he spoke those words, because he was not looking where he was going, he stepped into a gluey part of land. He instanly knew what it was. The quicksand would su.ck him deeper and further sown into the ground and he would become trapped and would suffocate if he was not helped. He called out to Ian for help and Ian instantly rushed over, picking up a large branch.
"Take this" he said.
Rick reached out and pulled the rough thing. He already had both of his legs su.ck.ed down and his waist would be next. Tighter and tighter he gripped, but he wouldn't budge. Beads of sweat formed and slid down his forehead as his chest slipped under, another minute and he would be gone. He silently cursed himself for not being careful enough and pulled with all his might. Snap! The branch Ian has stretched out to him had snapped. Rick knew not to struggle and panic as that would sink him deeper, but he couldn't help it and squirmed and kicked. His left arm slowly sank under with his neck and his mouth was aimed at the sky, suc.king in all the air he possibly could. Ian looked on in despair and knew what he had to do. He turned his back on the struggling Rick and ran off into the concealing undergrowth leaving his companion and his death sentence behind...
