We were cutting through the bush when we heard an explosion. We looked to the left and saw smoke coming up. We moved in that direction quickly in hopes of maybe finding someone who could help us. When we got there it was a boat that had crashed into the rocks as I got closer I could see it was Livingston's boat

"NO, NO, NO COME ON MAN!" Cole screamed

"What the hell happened?" Mitchell asked

"LIVINGSTON!" Tran called out but got no answer

"Here we go he got drunk and fell off the bloody boat!" Jack snapped

"YOU'RE FRIEND! YOU'RE FRIEND! NOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO NOW!" Cole screamed at Bill

"Search the wreckage, and hope to god there's a phone." Bill instructed

In the wreckage we found a few flashlights, a container of gas, a map. Cole tried to get a signal on the radio but got no response. I found a first aid kit, a thing of water, and we found a flair gun.

"No phone?" Bill asked when we were done

"No." Everyone answered

"Couldn't get a signal on the radio." Cole told him. That's went I noticed Tran sitting on the river bank. Bill and I went over and the rest followed

"What's going on?" Cole asked then made a face at spoiled fish left in the sun

"Where'd did these come from?" I asked Tran

"Lopaks." He answered

"Who?" Cole asked

"Local tribe. Descended from headhunters."

"What?" Cole asked again

"Been in this region for thousands of years." Tran continued

"Headhunters?" Cole said

"There's still some villages around here."

"Yeah and this must be one of their fishing spots." Bill finished

"Hold on excuse me. Did you say headhunters?" Cole asked again Tran smiled at him

"There haven't been practicing headhunters in Borneo for a century." Tran told him

"Just because they ain't practicing don't mean they don't remember how." Cole said once again freaking out. This guy needed a valium

"They must be along this branch of the river. If we can find their village maybe they can lend us a boat." Tran said then started to lead us in the right direction

"Wait a minute we're just gonna walk towards the headhunters not away?" Cole asked this time I just ignored him and walked away

"Yeah." I heard Bill say.

We started moving again with Tran leading us to find the Village. When Bill cut through a bush Livingston's body fell from the tree. He was hanging upside down and was covered in something. Of course they screamed

"Is that..." Sam started

"Livingston." Bill cut her off

"Oh my God, what the hell happened to him?" Cole asked

"Anaconda." I answered as I started to feel my stomach turn. Bill cut Livingston down, covered his body the best he could and we walked a little ways down so we wouldn't have to look at the body

"If he was eaten by the snake why is his body...?" Sam started with that crying bullshit again

"LISTEN! LISTEN!" Bill shouted finally losing his temper with them

"These things are at their weakest when they digest. But if threatened, they will spit up their food and attack again." Bill told them

"So you're saying there a snake out here with an empty stomach?" Cole asked

"Yeah." I answered

"The same one that got Ben?" Sam cried

"No, no, there's no way that snake could've gotten to Livingston. There had to be another one."

"Another one? You said their wouldn't be another one for miles!" Gail snapped

"THERE WOULDN'T! Unless…."Bill and I made eye contact and I knew what he meant

"Oh my God." I said burying my face in my hands

"Oh God what!" Cole snapped

"It's mating season." I said looking up

"Mating season?" Mitchell asked

"Yeah. The males are territorial but when they smell a female in heat, they come running….from everywhere." I said

"Females find a nice, wet, muddy pit and they all go after her a once. Forming a giant mating ball." Tran said

"You tell us there's some snake orgy, out in the jungle!?" Cole snapped

"Yeah something like that." I told him

"Look we're losing light we got to get to that village. So please pay attention. Do not stray from the group. Let's go." Bill said and we started our hike again. About an hour later we found the village. Tran led us past some statues

"Sacred burial ground stay quiet." Tran told us. When we got to the main part of the village there was a giant anaconda laying dead and gutted with two human leg stick out of its stomach

"I thought you said that anaconda was the biggest you'd ever seen." Sam said to Bill

"It was." He told her

"Well this one's…"

"Bigger." He said as we stared at the giant snake

"The males must've come through here looking for the female." Tran said and nodded in agreement. Moved away from the snake and the smell. We waited for Tran who was looking around.

"They took their boats." He said coming back

"Good them bad for us." I said

"Which one's the Mendranang?" Jack asked. This guy just didn't know when to quit

"On the right. The Tokut keeps going to the left, fastest way to Kotabaru." Tran told him

"How long?" Gail asked

"You'll be soaking in a hot tub at the Four Seasons in two days." Bill answered

"Bill we don't even have a boat." I said to him

"We're gonna build one." He said

As it started to get dark we lit plenty of torches to keep the area well lit. I was picking up a few sticks when I heard Cole

"Man you do that in my neighborhood and that's your ass." He said to Bill and Mitchell who had just pulled down a hut for the wood. We worked well into the night, I was surprised that everyone was doing their part. Also the complaining was gone! It was a miracle. Even Kong was helping. Everything was going good until Jack began going on about that damn orchid again. Once again they all got into an argument about it but this time they turned on Jack. I just stayed back helping Bill tie these boards together.

"Bill I think it's official that man is crazy." I said to Bill he just nodded

"It's not our business Lia. I'm just making sure he doesn't try to hurt anyone. I've seen guys like that in the war." He said looking down

Bill and I went back to work still half listening to the conversation at hand. Bill froze when Sam told them about the deal that Jack made with him. We all stopped when we saw him step in Sam's face. He said something to her then started shouting.

"I DON'T NEED TO CONSULT YOU!" He screamed in her face then turned to walk away

"We're in the middle of the jungle Jack. At this point your authority is what we say it is." Sam said using his own words against him

"Looks like you got a mutiny on your hands." Gail said to him as he stormed off

We had just attached the platform piece to the raft. When I decided to take a break, when to find Bill who was by the well, shirtless, and once again Sam was there. This time I was pissed I knew Bill would never cheat me, but I could clearly see that she was flirting. I decided to handle this now I walked over

"Hey." I said putting on a fake smile

"Hey babe." Bill said giving me a peck on the lips. Sam didn't say anything she just looked down

"Can I talk to you for a minute Sam?" I asked her and she nodded

"Over there. Alone." I said and she got up and followed me

"What's up?" She asked me

"I see the way you look at him." I said to her

"Who?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Bill. Look I get it he's a good looking guy. But understand something you will not continue disrespect me, when I have been nothing but nice and welcoming to you."

"Look Malia I-"

"Shut up! I'm talking now. Whatever little hero worship you got going on for him stops now. No more of the staring, batting your eyes, and flirting with him when I'm clearly only ten feet away. This is just a money trip for you people. But this here is our lives that you're messing with. Now I think I made my point pretty clear don't you agree?" I said to her and she nodded

"Good because I don't want to have this conversation with you again." I said then walked back over to Bill was still by the well

"Everything okay?" He asked me

"Everything is fine." I told him just as he cut himself trying to shave

"Ow damn it!"

"Oh babe don't use that. When was the last time you cleaned it? Or had it sharpened?" I said and got no response

"See?" I said

"Hold on I'm thinking." He said making me laugh

"If you have to think about it that long then it needs to be done." I told him taking the knife from him. He sat down on the side of the well, and held his arms open for me. I stepped in between his legs and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"What did you and Sam talk about?" He asked

"She had a crush on you and I was making sure that it stayed in her head." I said as Bill let out a small laugh

"She does?"

"Yeah she does."

"Well I didn't notice because there's only one women I got eyes for." He said then I kissed him

"Mmm Marry me." I said against his lips

"I thought I already asked you that?" He joked

"No, you dick. I mean once we get to safety I want to marry you. I want to be your wife." I said looking into his eyes

"Are you sure? I don't even have your ring yet."

"I told you I don't need a ring. I don't need a white dress. I just need you. It'll just be us. We almost lost each other more than once in less than 24 hours. Let's not waste anymore time" I said and he pulled me in for a deep kiss

"Let's do it." He said once we pulled apart then pressed our foreheads together

"I love you."

"I love you too Lia."
