Part 10

By Rachel S


Dot and Herbert and Madison talked as they drank dark coffee as they reclined back, sitting, after eating breakfast. She was glad she was back with Herbert again. His hand found his way into her hair, feeling her smooth curls. She yawned. Madison got up saying she was going to do some writing.

There wasnt very many natives around, it was quiet, they were out hunting and fishing, the mothers were quietly playing with their babies.  It was a different place then Dot had decided they come to.

Herbert sighed, looking at Dot.
" Where do you think Freddie is?" Dot asked.
Herbert shrugged.
" I don't know, I'm concerned for him, like you said, he may be caught by the gang," Herbert said.
Standing up, feeling auxahusted from not sleeping , they took a nap in one of the tents made for them.
-----

Freddie felt odd with a USA army uniform. He was going to get into real trouble if he was caught. The man woke up with a bad headache, feeling a knot on his head, he had blondish brown hair, his blue eyes kinda watery and confused.

" Who are you? you stole my uniform! and who's clothes are these that I'm wearing?" he asked.
Freddie looked at him.
" I'll ask that myself, who are you?" He asked.
The man shifted, sitting up in the sand.
" Gerald Parks, a unit of the USA army, you know, I could get you in a lot of hot water for this," He said.
Trying to sound feirce but failed, feeling groggy and confused.
" Calm down, look, this Island is inhabited with criminals, theirs a diamond mine on it and theirs prisionors of inocent people like you and me on the Island, Why I did this was I was afried you were an enemy, sorry," Freddie sad.
Gerald forgave him, as Freddie told the whole story of how they came to the Island, he said he had come for backup to go to the army base. They decided to go the the base, through the thicket, watching out for the bad guys, creeping along the jungle.

They arrived at the base, met by their allies. Freddie told them everything when under them, heard a rumbling.
Gerald looked at his fellow army man.
" Whats that sound?" Freddie asked.
" The Volcano on the middle of the Island, about to erupt," He said.
Freddie's eyes went wide.
Did that mean...But what about Dot and Herbert?
