The Lost City of Eldorado

Chapter 14: Betrayal

The team was basking in the safety of their makeshift campsite, feeling relieved after successfully outrunning the rival treasure hunters. But as the night progressed, tension began to simmer beneath the surface.

Jack noticed that Emily had been acting odd, sneaking away from camp and muttering into her walkie-talkie. He tried to confront her, but she brushed him off, telling him not to worry. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

The next morning, the team woke up to find that their supplies and weapons had been taken, and Emily was nowhere to be found. Carlos was the first to voice his suspicions, accusing Emily of being the traitor.

The team was in shock. Emily had been their friend and ally since the beginning. They couldn't believe that she would betray them like this. But as they thought back on her strange behavior and the stolen supplies, they realized that Carlos might be right.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of engines revving in the distance. The rival treasure hunters had caught up with them, and they were heavily armed. The team was outnumbered and outgunned, with no supplies and no weapons. They knew they had to act fast.

As the rival treasure hunters closed in on them, the team decided to split up. Jack and Carlos would lead the rival treasure hunters on a wild goose chase, while Sarah and Liam searched for Emily and the stolen supplies.

Jack and Carlos darted into the thick jungle, pursued by the rival treasure hunters. They ran for what seemed like hours, dodging obstacles and trying to lose their pursuers. Just when they thought they had succeeded, they ran right into a trap. A group of heavily armed soldiers was waiting for them, with Emily at their side.

Emily smirked at them, admitting that she was the traitor all along. She had been working with the rival treasure hunters to take the spoils of the lost city for herself. Jack and Carlos were shocked and enraged. They had trusted Emily, and she had betrayed them.

Emily and the rival treasure hunters tied Jack and Carlos up and left them to die in the jungle. But Jack was determined to get revenge. He knew he had to warn the rest of the team and stop Emily before it was too late.

As Jack and Carlos struggled to free themselves, Sarah and Liam finally caught up to Emily and the stolen supplies. They were shocked to see Emily with the rival treasure hunters, and quickly realized the gravity of the situation. They knew they had to act fast.

The four of them regrouped and came up with a plan. They would take the stolen supplies back from Emily and the rival treasure hunters, and then use them to stage a surprise attack on their camp. They knew it was risky, but it was their only chance.

As they snuck back into the rival treasure hunters' camp, they were shocked to see the true scale of their operation. There were dozens of them, all working together to take the lost city's treasures. Sarah and Liam quickly found the stolen supplies and began to make their way back to the team's campsite.

Meanwhile, Jack and Carlos had finally managed to free themselves from their bonds. They were tired, hungry, and furious. They made their way back to the team's campsite, determined to warn their friends and stop Emily before it was too late.

As the sun began to set, the team finally regrouped. They were battered and bruised, but determined to get revenge. They prepared for the final showdown, knowing that the stakes were higher than ever before. The fate of Eldorado and the lost city was at stake, and they were the only ones who could stop the rival treasure hunters and Emily.
