"There," Samantha said pointing to the area around her house in Colombia. Quyet and his guards had over taken her caretaker and tied him up as soon as they arrived at the house. Samantha was just happy that they didn't kill the man. "The money is about five miles north of here in an abandon mine."
"How do we get there?" Quyet said looking at her distrustfully.
"We walk, Colonel," Samantha said with a shrug. "Or are you so out of shape that you can't handle a five mile trek though a densely wooded area!"
"Lead the way, woman," Quyet said angrily as Samantha started out ahead of the Colonel and his two guards.
Luckily for her, Quyet didn't waste time looking around the property or he would have discovered an atv in the garage. Making him and his goons walk the five miles to where she'd hidden the money, just might give her enough time to figure out some way to escape. As much as she'd like to, Samantha knew she couldn't count on Stockwell and the rest of Richard's team to help her if they didn't know where she went. She had to keep her emotions at bay instead of thinking about her son or she wouldn't be able to do this. Every time she closed her eyes, she seen him fall after hearing the gunshot. After all her hard work to protect him from knowing who he was, the moment she came back into his life, he gets killed and she couldn't help but feel guilty about it. It really didn't matter to her anymore if Quyet decided to kill her, she had nothing else really to live for.
Stockwell was able to retrieve the location of Samantha's house from his computer as Murdock flew them to Colombia. BA and Frankie stayed behind at the house with Maggie and Ellen while Leo decided to tag along incase someone got hurt.
Hannibal watched his second in command watching Stockwell's every move and decided it was time to put an end to the tense situation before it jeopardized their mission to get his mother back. "How you doing, kid?" Hannibal said sitting next to him.
"You really need to ask," Face replied harshly as he pulled an ice pack away from his head.
"Look, I get it! You're pissed," Hannibal said with a wiry grin. "But, if you want to get your mother back, you're going to have to keep a level head, understand?"
"Yeah," Face replied slightly embarrassed. It wasn't often he let his emotions get the better of him but when he did, he could always count on Hannibal to rein him in. "Going after Stockwell can wait."
"Exactly," Hannibal said with a slight smile. "Beside's, we kinda need him right now."
"I know," Face said with a sigh. "I'll leave him alone."
"Good," Hannibal said squeezing his shoulder. "Try to get some rest, we'll be there soon."
"I'll try," Face said quietly.
Samantha stopped and looked behind her as Quyet and his guards struggled to keep up. The heat and humidity was oppressive but she was used to it, them not so much. "We should have brought some water," the Colonel rasped wearily as he stopped in front of her.
"It's not much further," Samantha said pointing up ahead of her. "There's a stream nearby where you can get a drink."
"Lets go," Quyet said eagerly as Samantha grinned.
The 'steam' was nothing more than a bacterial filled cesspool about a mile out of the way. But hey, who was she to tell them drinking the water would make them all violently ill!
Murdock landed the plane smoothly and brought it to a stop on the same runway as Quyet's plane. "Looks like they're here alright," he said opening the door to let the others out.
Face existed the plane and looked around. There was nothing but rain like looking forest for miles except for a little house off in the distance that he assumed was where his mother had been living. But the house was in to good of condition for a single woman to have kept up by herself. "Let's take a look around the house," he said pulling out his revolver from his jacket.
Hannibal and Murdock quickly followed as Stockwell and Doctor Aston brought up the rear. The doctor didn't like the thought of killing anyone but he was ex military so carrying a gun and shooting wasn't beyond his capabilities.
Face noticed the house looked deserted which made him nervous. If his mother and Quyet weren't here, where we're they?
"Face!" Hannibal said pointing inside the house though a window. "Someone's tied up inside!"
The conman tried the door and found it open. They rushed inside and quickly fanned out to secure the place before untying the man and taking off his gag. "Where are they?" Face asked excitedly. "Where'd he take my mother?"
"Senior?" the short heavy set Mexican man replied in shock. "Señorita Samantha has no children!"
"Look, I don't have time to explain!" Face said in frustration. "Just tell me where they went, we're here to help her!"
"I heard her say, the old mine was about five miles from here," he said pointing straight outside the house.
"What did they take to get there?" Hannibal asked as the man shook his head.
"Nothing, Senior," he replied in confusion. "Señorita told them the only way to get there was to walk but that's not true!"
"What do you have to drive?" Murdock asked as the man pointed to the garage behind the house.
"In the garage," the Mexican said pulling out a set of keys. "Please hurry!"
"Lets go," Face said grabbing the keys and tossing them to Murdock.
Samantha sighed in relief when she seen the water of the cesspool wasn't quite so green today. So, Quyet and his guards would never suspect the water was tainted until they had already drank it. "Here's your water, Colonel," she said taking a step back as the three men dropped to the ground at the pool's edge to drink. While they drank, she took the opportunity to run.
After Quyet swallowed the third large gulp, he realized something wasn't right when his stomach suddenly protested and threatened to send back everything in it. "What is this!" he yelled as one of his guards was already feeling the effects of the bad water. Looking behind him, he realized, Samantha had taken off. "Find her!" He yelled at the one guard still on his feet. "And when you do, bring her corpse to me!"
