Chapter 20 Chris
- My mind is foggy, my eyelids heavy, and a deep pain settles in the base of my skull. The coppery smell of blood is heavy in the air. Needle like pains shoot down my neck as I slightly move my body. I run my hand down, searching for the source. My fingers catch a thin object that curves at the end, which sends a sharp acute pain down my spine.
- I pull hard. The object comes free easily, leaving a dull throb. I hold a tranquilizer dart. What are the odds of been hit twice with one of these within the space of twenty-four hours?
- I inwardly kick myself; I am no longer behind the waterfall. I let my guard down. I should have got us out while I had the chance. We were so close, just feet away.
