Dragon Wasps Page #4

and all the bugs

within a few miles

should feel it

right away.

Perfect!

All right, let's get

the hell out of here.

Come on,

let's find the others.

Hey!

Jaguar!

What the hell is this?

I told you you

owed me four souls.

That was the price for our

protection and your assistance.

All right!

All right, fine.

This is the way

you want to do it?

All right.

But these are my men!

And nobody touches

my men but me!

Give me the knife.

Okay.

Complete the sacrifice.

Appease the hunger

of Los Bichos Diablo.

Beastman,

you're taking too long!

Don't worry.

Fire!

What have you done?

No! No!

No!

Gina!

Gina!

Meet us at the far side

of the compound!

Go! Go!

Rhonda!

Gina! Where's Rhonda?

I don't know.

She was right behind me.

Come on.

All right.

I'm almost

out of ammo, man.

What if they kill her?

They're not gonna kill her.

We're gonna get her back.

I'm know where the stash is. Follow me.

Let's go.

Okay.

Yes!

God, looks like

they're preparing for war.

Favorite pastime.

What do you want me

to do?

Uh, start filling up your

bag with that C-4 right there.

Meyers!

What else?

That's it. Go.

Come on.

Go!

So tell me

how you get these, uh,

glands here

to start working.

They've been working ever

since we took them out.

And the longer they stay

out, the worse it's gonna get.

Listen.

Is that what that sound is?

The C-4 all set?

Set and ready to go.

Beastman!

Release the girl!

Give me one good reason!

'Cause if you don't, I'll

blow up your whole operation!

I got the entire perimeter

rigged with C-4!

You're bluffing!

Oh, yeah?

What's this, huh?

Release the girl

and you can keep your

village and your cocaine!

But if you don't, it all goes

up in flames, I swear to God!

And you'll leave

this place?

You'll never see me again!

Oh. Hey, Jaguar!

Eat this!

Let's go! Move!

Los Bichos Diablos!

Beastman!

Ocupado!

I never said I wouldn't

still blow the place up.

Rhonda!

Damn!

Gina, you okay?

You hurt?

I already lost my father

to this damn place.

Now I've lost

my best friend, too.

Hey, hey!

She would have never come here

if it weren't for me.

And now she's gone,

and so is

your entire team.

I'm still here.

This is all my fault.

It's not your fault!

That's what we're here for.

We're trained

for this type of crap.

What?

Yeah. Mansquito, megashark,

sand sharks.

Any kind of shark really.

Cut it, Meyers.

We know where Rhonda is.

We located the hive.

We're gonna save her.

We're gonna save my team.

Beastman!

You think he's

still coming after us?

Hell, yeah.

He's not a live and let live

kind of guy.

More like

a live and let die.

James Bond.

It never ends.

Voodoo priestess?

What are you doing?

Gonna take the C-4

and set the bridge.

No, no, no, no,

we can't waste it.

We gotta find

something else.

Here! Here!

Nature's napalm

from the bug.

It'll work.

Oh, it better work.

Go! Go!

Yeah!

You're going to suffer

a fate worse than death!

All right,

we got two options.

We can take the jeep

over back to base camp

for reinforcements

or go it alone.

John, we got men

on the ground.

And my father's

out there and Rhonda.

Plus very little time.

All right,

we go it alone.

What the hell's that?

Coca leaves

courtesy of the Garinagu.

Aw, Gina, I don't think

that this is the time

for that kind of thing.

Don't you remember what kept

the wasps away from the village?

The essential oil

of the coca leaf.

Yeah, but don't you

have to chew that?

No, just crush it

and rub it onto your skin.

It'll work, trust me.

Won't that

still get absorbed?

Maybe. We've got

a long way to go,

and those things

could come at any time.

Trust me, it's

the lesser of two evils.

All right.

Hey, this stays off

the report, too, got it?

Oh, yeah, got it.

At least if we die,

we'll die happy.

Paulo!

Gather your men.

Today,

we are going hunting.

Meyers, how much further?

Just under six clicks.

We're halfway between

boogie man and the hive.

All right, time to get

you strapped up, Gina.

What does that mean?

Means you get a gun.

Hey, that bug repellent's

working.

You got some more?

Nature's remedy.

Meyers, check the rear.

You ever used

a gun before?

No.

All right.

Well, first thing is,

grab a hold of it.

Go ahead, grab it.

Do I have to?

Do you want to live?

Here, take the gun,

all right?

This is very easy.

This is your safety.

There's already a bullet

in the chamber ready to fire.

Go ahead, try

and pull the trigger.

See? Nothing happens.

I take the safety off,

if you squeeze

that trigger now,

a bullet's gonna come flying

out the barrel of this gun

and kill whatever's

in front of it, understand?

So safety on,

doesn't fire.

Safety off, kill

whatever's in front of you.

Simple as that. Got it?

That's it.

You know, I've been

trying to figure out

what it is with you

since we've been here.

It's like an intense sadness

or profound disillusionment

or both.

Is this you talking

or the coca?

Probably both,

but maybe

it's the jungle.

This place can drive

a person mad.

You know that, right?

Look, you've been

in this jungle long enough

to know that it can do any manner

of things to a man or a woman.

So what did it for you?

Obviously, this isn't your first

time with Jaguar and the Garinagu.

Nope. And by the looks

of today,

it won't be

my last, either.

But, uh...

you know,

a lot of men,

they were lost

on my watch.

It's my responsibility

to get them back

or stay here with them.

What do you mean?

Look, I don't really know

if I'm supposed

to leave this jungle,

or if I want to leave

this jungle.

Come on, you can't really go

from days like today

to shopping

at your local 7-Eleven, right?

I mean, uh...

My transfer papers were up.

I was supposed to go home

day after tomorrow.

I didn't want to.

And when I saw you,

well, I realized

I wasn't gonna have to.

Right. Well, from my end

as a scientist,

I only believe

in empirical realities,

things that you can see.

Yeah, you spend

enough time out here,

you see a lot of things

that make you question

what's real and unreal.

But I still don't believe in any

of that hoodoo-voodoo bullshit,

and I never will.

Well, don't tell me it

was the cocaine, either,

'cause no cocaine in

the world is that strong.

Just ask Tony Montana.

Hey, hey, Scarface!

Tony Montana'd be proud.

I'm learning.

You know how to handle

that thing.

Boss, we got a problem.

We got company.

All right,

well, let's move out.

I think I

hear something up ahead.

Well, besides

six-foot-long wasps,

there's about a dozen critters

in this jungle

that we don't want

to run into.

Maybe it was a howler monkey.

No, it was

a Maya coral snake,

the most deadly snake

in Central America.

Unh!

Let's move out.

This is it.

Finally.

"Transgen Tech. "

This is where my father

was three days ago.

This is why we're here.

Transgen Tech.

Careful. You may not like

what you find in there.
