He awoke to the noise of gun fire. He was groggy and incredibly uncomfortable. As he lay on the ground, he realized he was in the back of a moving vehicle. Upon reviewing his surroundings, he realized he was in the back of a truck with a canvas top. His hands and feet were tied together and his head was throbbing. He gingerly touched the back of his head and felt a goose egg of a bump. He had definitely been hit over the head, probably with the butt of a gun.

He continued to hear the gunshots and felt the vehicle come to a sudden stop. He could hear the doors to the vehicle open and yelling. It was at that moment that the back flap of the vehicle was lifted and there was the face of his partner, "Danny?"

Relief washed over Steve, as Danny yelled, "He's over here."

Danny crawled up into the back of the vehicle and helped Steve sit up. Steve was woozy from the hit to his head and Danny steadied him, "We got you buddy. We are going to get you out of here."

Danny focused on the rope around Steve's hands, working to undo it. Eventually, he pulled out a knife and sliced the rope off Steve's wrists. As he moved onto cutting the rope off of Steve's legs, Steve remembered everything, "Danny, there's a girl."

Danny looked at him and helped him towards the flap of the truck bed, and he hollered at Joe, "Tell Chin to look for a girl."

Joe helped Danny lift Steve out of the truck. As they helped him stand up, he stopped them, "Guys, I'm fine. We need to find the girl. She's in bad shape. We have to get her out of here."

"Son we gotta go, Chin found the girl and he is carrying her back to Tangerine." He started walking away from the truck, Steve and Danny following him. "We need to get out of here quickly, I don't know how much longer we will be safe."

Joe led the pack, as Danny followed on Steve's six, keeping a lookout for any possible problems. Joe looked back to Steve as they jogged through the rest of the jungle towards the open field, "How you doing, son?"

"I've been through worse." He yelled back, "Thanks guys."

Joe, Danny, and Steve approach the helicopter and Steve settled into a seat. As Danny looked over Steve's wrists, Chin approached the chopper with the woman in his arms, Gutches keeping guard behind them. Joe turned to help Chin lift the unconscious girl into the chopper, "Son of a bitch!"

All eyes turned to Joe. It didn't take Steve more than a moment to realize that Joe had known about the girl all along. Steve looked to the girl and back Joe, "He knew about her and I had no clue. Tell me everything."

It wasn't a request, it was a demand. Joe knew the day of reckoning had arrived, but now wasn't the time as shots started ringing out of the forest. Gutches and Chin jumped in, avoiding the girl lying on the floor of the chopper. Frank lifted the bird into the air, as Gutches and Chin returned fire.

As soon as the chopper was out of firing range, a sense of normalcy returned to the interior of the helicopter. Danny had turned his attention to the young woman, asking Steve "How bad is she injured?"

"He wailed on her, Danny. I think she has some broken ribs, but other than that, I don't know." He paused, "She needs a doctor."

"We can't get medical attention here. We have humanitarian supplies on the plane. We'll patch her up as best as we can until we get stateside." Answered Gutches. Steve started to protest but Joe spoke up, "He's right son. WoFat is too well connected. It isn't safe for any of us to be here any longer."

Danny handed Steve a bottle of water, "Drink up buddy, you're probably dehydrated."

"Thanks Danny." The rest of the chopper ride was silent until they landed near their plane.
