Episode 2 Part 4
Looking around from their position on the road, the group wondered what their next move would be. They had lost the trail and had no way of knowing where to go next.
"There's not a trail to follow now." Marko noted. "What do we do?"
Niko sighed and shook his head. "We need to think, where would this guy be?"
Roman shook his head. "It depends. If he's local to the area, he's likely to be holed up in some sort of farm house around the area. It's all farms, but there's not that many farms in all so..."
"If he's not local?" Niko wondered, worriedly.
"Then he's likely holed up in some sort of tent or something and could be anywhere." Roman remarked.
The others were worried even more now and all shared anxious looks. But Eli remained quiet, scowling as he was still angry with how things were going.
Unable to take it anymore he snapped. "We're wasting time, we should be getting back to the highway. There's nothing more we can do."
"That's not true!" Mara cried. "We have to help Misha, he's still out there and we can still save him, we can't just turn back."
Eli glowered, once again outraged at her answering him back, when she owed him her life after all.
But before he could say anything to her about it, Niko stepped up.
"We have to keep looking, Mara's right." He said firmly.
Eli rounded on him. "Are you out of your mind, we can't keep doing this, we're putting everyone at risk, not to mention we're running out of daylight hours, we need enough time to get back before..."
"It's barely past noon." Roman interrupted him. "We've got time for one more search at least."
Eli snarled at this, as far as he was concerned this was a lost cause, the brat was dead and so much the better, he couldn't get in the way then. They should just return to the highway and get out of the area. He was still all for going to the military base, it would be their best chance after all.
'But of course, no one listens to reason, they're all too sentimental.' He thoughts savagely. 'Wasting time looking for a brat who is more than likely already dead, lying in a ditch by the road or something...Or he got bit and is one of those things now.'
But then he was jolted back to reality by Niko.
"Alright then, we'll take one more search of the area...check the forest ahead of us, fan out to cover more ground, but not too far apart." He said.
Roman nodded. "If you see anything suspicious, let me know, it might be the trail starting up again."
The others all nodded and readied their weapons.
Making their way onwards they observed the ground in front of them for any signs of disturbance. But it was hard for any of them except Roman to tell if what they saw was truly natural or not. Still they pressed on, wondering what lay ahead and if they would indeed find Misha soon. Mara in particular was frantic and desperate to see Misha again. She gently touched the hat and scarf belonging to the poor boy in her bag. She was determined to return them to him once they found him. It was the only thing she could hold on to to keep her hopes alive.
'Oh please Misha, please still be alive, I just want to see you again, to make sure you are okay.' She thought worriedly.
It was amazing how quickly she had found herself forming a motherly bond with the boy. Thus this was sheer hell for her, every moment was spent with her worrying over Misha's fate.
"Wait a minute, what's that, do you think�" Zlata suddenly called out.
She looked up and realized they had all stopped, standing just outside the woods, at the edge of a farm, for there, some distance away, directly in their line of sight, was a farm house. Mara's breath caught in her throat as she remembered Roman's words, if the kidnapper was local, he likely stayed at a farm house. Could Misha be here, she wondered, was he in danger, would she finally be able to save him.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
