We froze for a second after what just happened when Bill jumped into action

"Hell no!" He said running after them. I quickly followed with Sam and Gail behind me.

"COLE!" Bill shouted when we entered a clearing. The Kong screeched and pointed us in the right direction. We found him up in a tree with the anaconda squeezing the life out of him. Bill ran right up under him. Then threw his knife at the snake stabbing it directly in the head killing it instantly. The snake's grip on Cole fell apart and Cole fell to the ground

"Get up Cole. Get up man. Wake up man." Bill said frantically shaking him. I ran over and checked his pulse

"He's not breathing!" Gail said

"He's got a pulse." I said then started CPR. After a few breaths Cole took a deep breath. When he started breathing, he flipped out again.

"WHAT THE FUCK?! GET OFF ME!" He shouted and we calmed him down

"It's okay, Cole it's us." I said to him

"I'm okay?" He asked after he calmed down

"Yeah you're okay." Gail said to him. I wanted him to rest a few minutes before we got moving again. Bill glared at the anaconda then got up and grabbed his knife.

We found Jack about a half an hour later. We were looking down at him from this cliff.

"Son of bitch finally got his orchid." I said

"Yeah he can have them. All I care about is that raft." Sam said then we crept away from there. We found the raft on the edge of the river at the bottom of the hill we were on.

"Oh thank God" Gail said running to the raft. Sam grabbed the bags that Jack had left on the shore. Just then she held up the specimen jar that the stone spider was in….or it used to be.

"I think I know what happened to Mitchell." She said, when Jack walked out of the trees holding a gun.

"I can't let you take that." He said pointing the gun at us.

"You guys look like hell." He said with a smirk

"You don't know what hell is." Gail said

"Oh I'm sorry but you gave me no choice."

"Did you give Mitchell a choice before you killed him?" Sam spat

"I didn't kill Mitchell." He said

"No you just let him die. I saw the spider bite on his arm."

"What was I supposed to do Sam? The right thing?" Jack said sarcastically

"It's always a good place to start." She said to him just then he took a shot hitting Bill in the arm I was going over to him when Jack grabbed me and pressed to gun to my head

"Let's not be stupid about this. This is what you were worried about right Bill? 'your family' from the looks of it she's all that's left. So I trust you'll corporate huh?" Jack said

"Now come on let's get to the flower and we can all go home." Jack said

He made us walked ahead of him but he kept to gun pointed at the back of my head. When we reached the cliff. Sam looked down

"The mating ball." Sam said I could hear the fear in her voice. All of a sudden Jack hit Bill in the head with the gun. Knocking him out

"You crazy bastard." I snapped at him

"Give me the flare." He said pointing the gun at Gail. She handed him the torch he stuck it in the ground. Then grabbed the backpack and dumped it out, he grabbed the rope from the pile then tossed it to Gail

"Tie him up. Now!" He snapped then snatched the torch from Sam then tossed the empty backpack at her

"Fill it up."

"You've got to be kidding me." She said. Just then he grabbed me by my hair and pressed the gun to my head again

"DO I LOOK LIKE I'M KIDDING?! FILL IT UP!" He screamed at her and she started to cry. She put the bag on her shoulder. Then climbed on the tree that acted as a bridge, when she stepped on it the tree moved a bit causing her to fall on her knees. She slowly moved to the other side

"GET UP!" Jack shouted as she reached the other side

"NOW GET THE FLOWERS!"

"Okay!" She cried as she began filling up the bag with the orchids. When she was done she slowly crawled back on to the tree. When she was about a quarter of the way back the tree started to slip, causing her to scream. It slipped again and the bag almost fell from her shoulder. Jack pushed me down, and rushed over the edge

"Throw me the pack." Jack said to her. She held the bag out

"DROP THE GUN!" She screamed. He just took the gun and fired a warning shot in Gail and Cole's direction

"Throw me the pack." He said again very calmly. I looked to my left to see Bill slowly getting up. I was about to move over to him but he held his hand to his lips signaling for me to stay quiet I nodded. I looked up just as Sam screamed, I saw her dangling on the edge of the tree. Jack turned to leave when Bill jumped up and punched him in the face. Which took a lot of energy out him from the blood loss

"Get up Bill! Get up!" Cole cheered. Jack quickly got to his feet and knocked Bill to the ground, then kicked him in the ribs. When Bill tried to get up, Jack kicked him again. He now was holding him by his neck near the ledge. He was about to hit him again when he stopped

"Get up!" Jack growled and threw Bill on the ground. I rushed to side as Gail and Cole went to help Sam.

"Bill." I said

"We got to help him." Bill said meaning Jack. I rolled my eyes and we rushed over to the cliff. Bill was holding out his hand

"Spider." Jack said. I knew what he meant, the stone spider was still somewhere in the backpack and had bit him

"Give me your hand." Bill said. When Jack tried to grab it the paralysis took over and he fell into the mating ball. When I heard another scream we looked over to see Sam hanging by her feet over the water. Then to make matters worse the tree broke, causing her to fall into the mating ball. She grabbed a vine and started climbing

"Come Sam! That it you got it!" I said holding my hand out to her

"Climb Sam keep coming!" Bill called

"Come on!" He kept shouting then grabbed her hand and pulled her out. When she was on her feet an anaconda slithered out of the pit. We all jumped back, I was standing next to Cole

"Oh shit. Oh shit." He started chanting

"HEY!" Gail called getting the snakes attention

"OVER HERE BITCH!" She shouted, when the snake came towards her she tossed the gas can in its mouth. The snake bit into the can spilling gas everywhere. I saw the gun that Jack had dropped I grabbed it and tried to fire but it was empty. The snake was about to attack when it got hit in the mouth with a flair. It fell back into the pit causing an explosion, which triggered a rock slide. The orchids and everything on that side was destroyed. We looked over the edge to see one anaconda still alive, when another giant rock fell crushing it. We all let out a breath of relief

"Holy shit." Bill said then he looked at Cole

"Nice shot."

"What can I say? I'm a bad man." He said and all of us let out a small laugh

We walked back to the raft took some time to gather ourselves and for the rain to stop. Then we got on the river. Once the sun was out I was able to get a good look at Bill's arm. Cole was rowing, Sam was on the other side and surprisingly Kong was on Gail's shoulder.

"Wow you two look like you made up." Cole said with a smile

"He's not so bad." Gail said with a smirk. Just as I finished wrapping Bill arm

"How's that?" I asked him

"Much better…..I think I'll live." He said then gave me a small smile

"You better I need you around." I said smiling back he leaned in just as our lips were about to touch. Gail cut in

"So how much farther to my bath?" She asked

"Kotabuaru? I'd say another day downriver." Bill answered

"Whoa another day? I'm not rowing another day homeboy." Cole said

"Alright let's see we got this shortcut right up-"

"NO!" We said at the same time.
