Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen
Chapter 89
Chapter 89
The weather was scorching hot, and water was scarce.
Newbie Lucas and celeb Eddie, were running on empty, having not had a drop of water for over fifteen hours.
“You okay?” Eddie grunted as he pulled out the last crumbly biscuit from his backpack and offered it to Lucas, “take this.”
Leaning heavily against a hefty tree, Lucas tried to keep his balance. He looked at the biscuit, his voice raspy, “No, you keep it.”
Eddie insisted, “No, eat it. It’s been too long since you’ve had anything.”
Lucas didn’t respond.
Eddie felt bad, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have hurt your leg. How’s your leg now?”
Lucas shook his head, “It’s okay, I’ve been through survival training before, this injury isn’t gonna stop me.”
They fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Eddie split the last biscuit into two and said, “We’ll share.”
This time, Lucas hesitated a moment before accepting his half.
They finished the biscuit.
Eddie felt bitter.
A single biscuit had to feed two people.
The taste of the biscuit didn’t even linger for three seconds before it was gone.
The atmosphere between them grew heavy again.
Suddenly, Lucas looked up, staring at the tree top, “Is there something hanging up there?”
Eddie squinted, “Looks like a green ribbon? Can’t really tell.”
“It’s a ribbon!” Lucas started to gauge how high the ribbon was and eventually shook his head, “I can’t reach, it’s too high.”
The tree was massive, the ribbon was tied at the very top, nearly five stories high.
No ordinary Joe could climb that high without safety gear, and if anything went south, the fall would be disastrous.
Eddie sighed, “If we miss this green ribbon, we’ll lose another clue. The last blue ribbon was tied to a freaking crocodile, that was
nuts…”
“Crocodile? What kind of crocodile? Where’d you see it?”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, scaring the bejesus out of Lucas and Eddie!
They turned to see a camouflaged, pretty young girl perched on a tree not far away, swinging her legs, watching them.
