"Cody, do you have Donovan's location?" Jake asked into his headset.
"Yea, you guys need to travel thirty miles east. " Cody relayed, "He's on the move."
"They escaped from the compound." Alex smiled. She knew Donovan would find a way out.
"Let's get moving," Tom ordered, "Sun's going down and so will the temperature."
"Why can't I go to South America when it's warm?" Jake muttered to himself. Alex couldn't help but laugh.
"Time to go to radio silence." Tom warned, "Say good bye to your loved ones. Cody, only contact us if you hear from Donovan or if he moves in direction."
"Got it. Jake, Alex any famous last words?" Cody asked.
"I deserve a raise for this." Alex stated, lighting a cigarette.
"I'd rather be trapped in a bank with a insane, pill popping maniac." Jake smirked.
"I'll make sure Donovan knows that," Cody laughed.
"Radio silence means no talking." Tom warned.
"Yea, yea, damn ghost." Cody muttered under his breath.
"I heard that." Tom smirked.
"What is with you guys? Super hearing?" Cody asked, embarrassed he got caught.

"I think we can rest here for awhile," Donovan said scanning the area.
"You say so boss." Christine replied trying to smile.
"We need to try and reduce the swelling," he said examining her wrist.
"I know," Christine sighed, "and before you lecture me on how stupid I was wondering away, I beat you to it. Besides, it's not like there's a convenience store to run to for ice."
"No lecture," he responded, "but I do know a better way for the swelling."
"What?" she asked, not sure if she should trust him.
"The river," he smiled.
"The river?" she questioned, "Uh, no. I'm not going in there."
"Can't swim?" he asked.
"No, it's called piranhas and snakes!" she exclaimed.
"Wrong country for the fish." he said attempting to sit down and take his shoes and socks off.
"And the snakes?"
"They'll be too scared of your attitude," he winced, slowly taking off his shirt, "The coldwater will help the swelling for your wrist, plus it'll help my ribs."
"Leave the jokes to me, you suck at them." she scowled, "You can't get me in the water."
"Come on, it's cold at first." Donovan said walking into the water. He walked over where a group of rocks and placed the gun in reach. "Stop being stubborn."
"What are you going to do? Carry me in if I don't?" she smirked.
"I have my ways. Trust me." he winked. "What was that?" Donovan looked around the water.
"What?" she asked alarmed.
"Something just brushed my leg," he stated.
"Well get the hell out of there." Christine yelled. Donovan slowly started to walk back to the shore when he went under. "Frank! Where are you? Frank!"

"I need to find a new line of work." Jake muttered, running through the jungle.
"And what would you do?" Alex asked behind him, trying to avoid the tree branch.
I have no idea." Jake replied, "When I signed up for UC never expected to be playing GI Joe in the jungle twice."
"You played with GI Joes?" Alex asked amazed.
"Yea, you played with Barbie's, right?" Jake laughed.
"Oh sure," Alex smirked, "My Barbie beat up GI Joe."
Tom stopped moving and just looked at the two agents and shook his head. "And Frankie willingly puts up with you two?" he asked.
"I can see it now," Alex laughed, "Donovan had his GI Joe rescue his sister's Barbie from the bad guys."
"If he has a sister." Jake pointed out.
"What the hell did I get myself into?" Tom asked himself.
"Ya know," Jake smiled, "I think Donovan asks himself that very question at least once a day."
"And to think I wanted to talk you into joining my outfit." Tom said, "Fun in the Sun, Women and the beach."
"I'm game." Alex said, "Well, all but the women."
"Hate to interrupt this fine conversation," Cody said over the headset, "but it seems like boss man stopped. He's about ten miles up river."
"Got it." Tom replied, "Let's get moving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh my goodness! Oh my! Frank?" she yelled scanning in the water for him, "You can't die on me now you jerk! How the hell can I get out of here? I get rescued and I'll get blamed for your death! Just like a man!"
Christine carefully made her way into the water. She made her way to the rocks where Donovan placed the gun. She was about to reach for it when she felt an arm wrap around her waist and her legs were knocked out from under her.
Christine fell into something solid and it pulled her under the water. Some how she managed to elbow whatever it was that had her and made her way back up. She turned and saw Donovan bent over holding his stomach. He was trying not to laugh and had a huge smile on his face.
"I told you I had my ways." he laughed, "My ribs."
"Oh God, are you okay?" Christine asked walking over to him. She finally noticed the bruising on his body from his beating. Damn, what a nice body it is, she thought to herself. "Wait a minute! You did that on purpose, you jerk! Making me think some snake or something attacked you!"
"Careful with your wrist." he warned, grabbing Christine's hand that wasn't hurt. "Tell me the water doesn't feel good on your wrist?"
"Fine, you win, it does." Christine seethed, "You can rest here, I'm going over there."
"You're not going anywhere." Donovan ordered, keeping his grip on her hand. "You can't keep out of trouble."
"Me!? Listen here you." Christine started to argue when Donovan pulled her close.
"Do you have to argue with me?" he asked.
"Do you always have to be bossy?" she asked.
Donovan answered her question by putting a hand behind her head and pulling her into a kiss.
"Yea, you guys need to travel thirty miles east. " Cody relayed, "He's on the move."
"They escaped from the compound." Alex smiled. She knew Donovan would find a way out.
