And why haven't we been told the delivery location or time?

When the night barely turns into the morning, I'm no closer to answers.

I need to talk to Andre and see what information Interpol has sent.

I need to go to the bathroom, but before I leave the tent, I glance at Emilia, who sleeps peacefully, her perfect lips slightly open, and her chest rising and falling.

Her chest. Visions of the bruises Santiago and his thugs put on her perfect breasts enrage me. Her flat stomach was swollen with an arm mark. And her back was almost rubbed raw, I'm assuming from when she tried to fight back.

Anger rushes back from the memory of her freaking out when I barely touched her breasts. It surprised me when she said she would let me in the first place. But then, she surprised me again when she sounded desperate for me to finish.

There's a war in her head. I can see it. I want to break it up and destroy it for her. But I don't even know what's happened to her.

I take a pen and paper out of my bag and write a note to her.

Ma belle,

Do you want to have breakfast together?

Malin

PS - I'm outside the tent and will show you the bathroom facilities when you come out. Don't get excited...they consist of trees and more trees.

Her hand is open,so I fold the note, put it in her hand, and close her fingers around it. I sneak out of the tent.

Dirk, Axel, and Ryker are talking. Hunter is near the edge of the jungle.

"Good morning." I nod.

"Pretty sure it's better for Hunter, since he got laid last night," Dirk says.

I freeze. "Really?"

Everyone nods.

"With all of you in there?"

"Yep. Complete with his grand finale groan," Ryker grumbles.

I chuckle. "Well, I'll be. See you in a minute."

I walk over to Hunter. He's peeing. I unzip my pants. "Good night?"

He shakes his head. "Not you, too."

"Relax. You can't do that and not take some banter from us."

He groans.

"No, it was more like this." I loudly groan, and he elbows me.

"Did Andre say when he's finding out the drop-off point for the ladies?" he asks.

So he's worried, too. First Ryker, now Hunter.

These guys aren't stupid.

I scratch my face. "No. I didn't get a chance to talk to him last night after we got back. But he doesn't know the coordinates yet?"
