Lora's question got everybody surprised in the forest. Jasper didn't care rather sat down on the ground still trying to catch his breath. However, Sarah herself didn't know what to answer her sister as she stood beside Benlo as if they had known each other for years. When the quietness lingered, Lora repeated her question in different way, "Sarah, how come you know Benlo?"
"I don't know him, i mean i didn't know him" she replied.
"But you know him now, right?"
Sarah remained quiet while Benlo interfered.
"Listen, Lora, there is something going on in the spiritual world. Your sister and i have never met except few hours ago but i believe we were meant to meet at the blue river after we expressed our feelings and thought"
"What feelings and thought?"
"It's obvious your sister and i have been having feelings and thinking about the blue river for years. We meeting here at the same time has a significant"
"What significant?"
"I don't know!" Benlo concluded.
They all remained quiet again looking at one another except Jasper who seemed uninterested. He was actually thinking about the gold he couldn't get in his hands. Benlo asked him, "Jasper, what are you both doing here?"
"Are you kidding me?" Jasper glared at him in a funny way. "I should be asking you what you're doing with a girl you've never seen or met. The most painful part of it is that, you were so carried away by her beauty that you didn't even notice the golds in the river"
"But i have one" Benlo brought out a gold.
"Wow!" Jasper stood up instantly and collected it. "I'm rich!!" he shouted and looked at him. "But I couldn't pick any, why?"
"I have no idea" Benlo answered.
Just then, Sarah remembered when her sister mentioned the name 'Benlo' as the man she wished to date. Therefore, she walked to her calmly. "Lora? I guess he's the Benlo you told me about. Please, don't take it as if.. you know.." she whispered to her ear. "there's absolutely nothing going on between us. He's still yours" she straightened up and looked at her with a smile.
"What was that?" Benlo asked.
"Nothing, women stuff" Sarah replied holding her sister's hand.
Lora looked at her. "I was actually worried about you and him, that's why we came"
"Thank you" Sarah smiled.
"Now, how are we gonna get out of here?" Lora asked looking at Benlo.
"I think we should be asking why those men were pursuing us and who they are"
"Are you guys talking about leaving?" Jasper interfered. "Do you think the blue river brought both of you here to meet each other and go back to poverty? What about the golds?!"
"I think we need answers for these questions; the gun men, the blue river, the gold and others" Sarah said.
"And who can provide the answers?" Benlo asked.
"I think my grandfather can" Lora suggested. Just then, they heard the sound of helicopter coming from afar.
"I guess they are back again" Benlo said looking up and looked down again. "We should remain strong, no matter what. Let's run!"
They began to run again without knowing where they were running to.
:
On the other hand, Ena stopped running. She sat down on a rock to see the injury on her leg created by a flying bullet. She tore her trouser from there to enable breeze enter into the wound. She took off her shirt leaving only an inner were like singlet which covered up her bra. As she used the shirt to clear the wound, she sighted the helicopter going from afar then ran after it believing that she might meet Sarah or see the blue river there.
:
There were many men who came down from the helicopter running into the innermost forest with guns.
Ena finally reached the blue river but didn't go close to it knowing that cameras were there. Therefore, she took another road which would make it easier to meet up with Sarah and others.
:
After running for a long time, Jasper stopped likewise others.
"Listen, if we continue running, we won't know anything about those men. It's better we let them catch us, from there, we know who they are and why there are chasing us"
"You won't be alive to know who they are" a female voice came behind a bush. All directed their eyes there to see Ena.
"Ena?" Sarah smiled.
Seeing her, Benlo recalled seeing the blue river at Rain Brian. "It's you"
"Yes, it's me" Ena walked forward. "You actually put me into this after trying to safe your life coz my boss wouldn't have thought twice before putting a bullet on your head if he had known that you know about the river. After they saw you guys through the camera, i was sentenced to death by him but luckily, i escaped"
"So your boss is the one who wants us killed" Jasper interfered.
"Yes, and he will never stop until he sees all of us dead"
They became quiet for a while.
"So, Ken wants us dead" Lora broke the silence.
"How do you know his real name?" Ena became surprise.
"Him and my late father have a history together" she replied thus getting them confuse and inquisitive...
