When Jack's eyes focused, he was sitting down next to Kate and MeXico. Across the room, Umbraq was inspecting the toxins and radioactive material. He then grunted something in tribal language, when two enormous guards came in Jack's direction. MeXico tried to trip them, but Umbraq started:
- MeXico, my white man, don't try anything stupid, you're far away from your kind. And besides, everything is here, you're gonna get your money.
The guards untied them. Kate immediately started:
- You son of a bitch.
Jack took hold of her as she started crying. They stepped outside as MeXico continued a conversation in an unknown language to them.
- Jack, I was so scared. Please, just be here with me.
- Kate, I'm here, everything is OK.
Ahmed joined them, he displayed a frightened face.
- What just happened?
- Well, it looks like MeXico arrived late with the good for the fucking war lord.
- And? At least they got here...
- Yes, but these war lords also answer to someone else. Listen, I think it's advisable to get you two into the plane. The guards are all inside.
Jack took them to the plane. He quickly taught Ahmed how to start the plane, in case of an emergency. He then ran a quick diagnostic on the plane and left them to go help MeXico. Kate ran an kissed him.
- Please don't take long.
MeXico was arguing quite loudly in the small shack with Umbraq. Jack walked in, his presence didn't go unnoticed. He sat down by the table between MeXico and Umbraq. Picked up the bread, took a bite, had some water and started.
- So, you must be the self proclaimed, dickhead warlord Umbraq? Right?
All the guns now got pointed to Jack.
- Why yes, and who are you? Mister MeXico's sidekick?
- We don't use that expression in the civilized world any more. But yeah, you could say that.
- I don't have time for your talk. You get half of the money because you are late.
- Do you know how fucking hard it was to get here? And the hassles we went through?
- That doesn't concern me.
Jack reached for his pocket when the guards approached him. He raised his hands and banged the AK47's into the guards faces. He then took the rifles and pointed them at Umbraq.
- Now, as we were saying...
MeXico, got hold of the other rifles and started tying up the guards.
- Give us the entire deposit of money, right now!
Umbraq reached for the safe and took out the rest of the money. He placed it inside a brief case and handed it over to Jack.
- Good boy, you ain't so tough without your armed gorillas. OK, now, where is the communications room?
Umbraq lead the way to the control room. Jack shot every piece of equipment he saw.
- So, now... We could screw you over and take the goods with us, but, we don't really need them, so we will leave them here with you. And besides, I think that MeXico and myself don't really need more shit on our backs.
- You are Jack Mason! The Jack Mason everyone is looking for?
- That's right Einstein, Jack Mason in the flesh! Now sit that fat ass of yours on the floor with your friends.
MeXico and Jack tied them all together. They left food for them and took the money. As soon as they got outside, MeXico started:
- The fuck was that? You could have got ourselves killed.
- We're fried already, aren't we? So, I just added some steam to a boiling pot. It could burst, but, it didn't.
- I did need a hand there. Good move. Here, hold on to the money. I need to use the Lou.
Jack took hold of the brief case and walked in to the plane.Kate sat in the cockpit with him. He started firing up the engines and turning the plane. When it was ready to take off he yelled:
- Everyone in?
Ahmed replied:
- Yes, we're clear.
Jack pulled the lever and the plane gained speed. It was shaking even more than the previous takeoffs. When they had passed the point of no return, MeXico jumped from the forest into the runway. He was smiling and had his hand imitating a phone next to his head.
- That fucker! Ahmed? Why the fuck did you lie?
- Jack, Mexico held a gun to me and told me to say he was in.
- That fucking twat doesn't learn does he!
Kate put her hand over Jack's as they gained speed and altitude.
- So, South Africa?
