Ethan reached the mangroves and pulled himself behind the roots.
The armed men heard the engine too.
They immediately raised their weapons.
A black patrol boat came around the bend.
Daniel stood at the front beside several officers.
He had received Ethan’s message.
Check the river crossing.
That was exactly what he had done.
The armed men scattered into the jungle.
Daniel jumped from the boat before it fully stopped.
Ethan.
No answer.
Daniel searched the shoreline.
Then a hand appeared between the roots.
Daniel rushed toward it.
Ethan pulled himself from the water.
Daniel grabbed him.
I thought I was too late.
Ethan coughed and looked back toward the river.
You almost were.
Behind them, the crocodile disappeared beneath the surface again.
Daniel stared at his brother.
How did you survive down there?
Ethan held up the bamboo stalk.
Long story.
