Lea to the Rescue Page #4

---

Pretty sure it was a bird.

Okay.

What if Zac is already...

Don't say it.

He's fine.

But what if we never

get to see him again?

We will.

You were right.

We should've never come

into the rainforest alone.

HEY,

we're not alone.

We have Aki,

our own personal guide.

I guarantee she knows the

Amazon better than anyone.

Better than those men.

I just wanted to help.

I know.

When we got to the river,

I was ready to go back.

It took guts to keep going.

He's my brother.

He's lucky to have you.

Oh. You're not so bad either.

Gee!

Thanks.

Hey, Paula?

Did you see that thing

scurry across the ceiling?

Wanna share a hammock?

Yeah.

Sun up! Sun up!

Five more minutes.

Hurry. We go.

Zac!

Any sign of the truck?

Did they find him?

We head east.

Thank you.

Who's that?

Babysitter.

I don't know what else to do.

Still no word from Lea.

Paula's phone keeps

going to voicemail.

You want me to have someone

check her apartment?

Yes, thank you.

Oh, I got this.

I stole it from Zac's office.

What is it?

This expression he wrote.

What does it mean?

"What one finds is not stolen.

Finders keepers.

Exactly.

This is a receipt.

From five days ago.

Let's go.

No move.

Hey.

Excuse me?

Um...

I was on a jeep tour

with my parents,

and I got mad and stormed off.

And now I'm lost.

Can I use your phone?

Do you speak English?

Lea, run! Lea!

Lea, run!

Take that!

You little...

Where's my brother?

I said, where is my brother?

I don't know.

Where is my brother?

They've taken him

away to the city

and sent him off with

all the other animals.

I've no idea

where they'll end up.

Hold on.

Just a second.

Hello.

Lea, where have you been?

Mom, I was right.

Zac, he's tracking the poachers.

What are you talking about?

He's in Manaus.

He's here?

Where?

I'm not exactly sure about that.

But I'm...

Okay, listen to me.

Lea Clark,

listen to me very carefully.

I have barely slept

in the last 48 hours.

I need you both to get to

Zac's apartment immediately.

The last thing I need is to

worry about you, tom, okay'?

Mom, we're safe.

No, no, you go to his apartment,

you call me when you get there,

and you stay put.

Fine.

But it might take us

a while 'cause...

No, no!

You go there and you stay there.

And when I call,

you pick up the phone.

You understand?

Mom, we're in the Amazon.

Mom?

Mom?

She hung up.

They're okay?

Yeah.

Whoever said

having kids was easy?

Absolutely no one.

What's the sign say?

It's the edge of

the protected tribal area.

What does that mean?

It's okay.

I go with you.

Are you allowed to

go past that sign?

It's not safe.

I go to city.

Uh-uh! No way.

You said your tribe has to

stay invisible to survive.

You could be

exposed to disease or...

You're like my mother.

I'm sorry, Aki, but I can't

let you come with us.

I can't, either.

I could never forgive myself

if something happened to you.

Handsome boy.

He shopped here.

We have many customers.

Well, we're asking everyone

to keep eyes and ears open.

Well, anything I can do to help.

Do you have a restroom?

Sure, it's down there.

Thank you.

We're here.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

My name is Lea.

My name Aki.

Friends forever.

So this is it.

Your spirit will

be always with me.

And yours

with me.

There's no way I'm getting

this through airport security.

Thank you, Aki,

for everything.

Lea!

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Boo!

Boo who?

Boo hoo, don't cry.

It's all okay.

Go find your brother.

Hey!

Go.

We need to get back to Manaus.

Could I get you to

charge my phone, please?

Okay.

He's hiding something.

Agreed.

But I can't go in

without permission.

No.

But I can.

Okay.

Hi, again.

I'd like to see

what's behind that door.

It's just storage.

So, you don't mind

my taking a look?

Excuse me?

There you are, Gatinha.

I'm sorry.

That's coming

from my son's office.

The truck!

He followed us.

Go, go, go!

Ah!

We've gotta find out who was on

the other end of that phone call.

Lea. Lea, let's go.

We need to follow him.

He's our only way to Zac.

Come on.

Get down, get down.

Okay?

Hey, hey!

I'm in charge of bringing

you back in one piece.

Take the sidewalk,

you'll find him.

Okay,

somebody in this office

had better start talking.

Luis?

Where's my son?

I can do it.

What?

No!

Uh-uh!

I don't think so. No way.

Climbing is climbing.

If you fall from that height...

I'm gonna try

really hard not to fall.

Lea, listen to me, okay?

I really don't

think this is a good...

I know,

but I can do it.

Okay.

You go slow, okay?

You remember

what Aki taught you.

Visualize.

Just keeping you on your toes.

Okay, please be careful, Lea.

Mmm-hmm.

Hello?

Is someone here?

Zac!

Lea.

Zac!

I'm over here, come...

Zac!

I'm over here.

I'm over here!

- We're coming!

- Paula!

Zac!

What are you doing here?

How did you find me?

We've gotta go.

You've gotta go.

These guys are dangerous.

This is no joke.

We're not leaving without you.

No, this isn't a joke.

Come on.

Come on.

Your bag...

What are you...

Anything you know. Names,

places, routes they take.

They never told me anything.

They paid me a lot of money

for some information.

You helped kidnap my son.

They just wanted the animals.

I needed the money.

What?

There's no one at

Zac's or Paula's apartment.

Mom is so worried.

Everyone is worried

out of their minds.

I'm sorry, but this

is way too dangerous.

You told me it wasn't dangerous.

And you told me

you'd keep it a secret.

That's not fair.

You were in trouble,

and I had to tell someone.

I'm not mad at you.

I can't believe this.

All of that hard work,

to get this close,

and now the second they leave,

they'll vanish,

along with all the animals

and all this

would've been for nothing.

What's gonna happen to them?

All of the animals?

They'll sell them

to the highest bidder.

Stop, you can't!

Lea, please, calm down.

Don't bring attention.

You promised.

The police have been trying

to find these guys for years.

I couldn't just sit back

with what I knew

and watched them destroy

everything we're trying to fix.

I know.

Lea, what are you doing?

Lea, phase, snap.

Seriously, let me and Paula

take care of this. Why'?

Because you're 10 years old.

You're my little sister and

it's my job to protect you.

It's our job

to protect each other!

Team Zea, right?

Paula?

Aye.

You really think you could

talk her out of it, anyway?

You two have the same genes.

Did they trace Paula's cell phone?

YES.

It's somewhere in the

warehouse district. Oh.

Let's just hope she and Lea

and the phone are together.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey.

We've gotta use the bathroom.

Please.

Come on, Lea, Zac, come on.

We need to get help.

Now!

Stop!

It's them, it's them!

Mom!

Are you okay?

We're fine.

I'm fine. We're all fine.

I told you to stay put!

I know, but...

Mrs. Clark, it's my fault.

We found him!

I don't even know what to say.

Mom, we gotta go get 'em!

The poachers.
