ARIA SWATTED the nats from her face with a groan as followed Barracuda Mike through the leaves.

"Here." He turned, handing the girl a machete. "You guys have to protect yourselves somehow." He handed the other three Pogues the long swords.

Aria glanced down at the weapon, cocking a brow as she held it at her side. She silently prayed she wouldn't have to use it.

"Your buds left this morning." He informed them, earning a sigh of relief from Aria. "But I got directions to El Tesoro. Only Jose knows the real way but this will get you in his direction."

Aria nodded along with the others. "Thanks." JJ shot the older man a grateful smile.

"Don't thank me." Mike shook his head, JJ's face falling. "You owe me, ten times."

But that was a later problem. Right now, they needed to focus on catching up with others. They climbed into the borrowed boat as JJ started up the engine, staring at the map as they began to move.

Aria ran a hand through her hair, resting her chin on her knee. "What do you think is going on?"

"Who knows." Pope shrugged, toying with his knife. "Let's just hope they haven't gotten into deep shit yet."

"Wait, guys look." Cleo cleared her throat, everyone following her eye line.

The group of all too familiar men were hurrying past, carrying guns while wearing their dark clothing. The sight made Arias stomach turn.

"Those are Singhs men, yeah?" She panted, glancing at JJ with panic. "They have to be looking for John B and Sarah."

"They'll known where they're heading." JJ began to follow the group, keeping an unsuspecting distance between them.

After nearly a half hour they halted at a dock, tying the rope as the group walked into the small shed that overlooked the dark water.

"This is El Tesoro. The path starts there." Aria pointed, furrowing her brows as she narrowed her eyes. "But one of Singhs men are right there. We can't get past."

Pope and JJ shared a quick glance, their brains seeming to align. In a matter of seconds, the sounds of fake gunshots were ringing her Arias ears.

The men panicked as they held their guns high, attempting to find the target. They shouted in Spanish before retreating and eventually feeling, which opened the portal to the Pogues.

"We're getting good at this." Pope whistled, slapping hands with JJ.

"Let's not celebrate yet." Aria shuffled past them, heading Cleo hum in agreement. "Let's celebrate once we get to our friends, yeah?"

The friends began to make their up in the trees, stumbling over branches and fallen trees. The walk was horrid, the hot weather making them groan.

"Okay, let's split." Aria turned to Pope and Cleo, wiping her hands on her back pockets. "Let's see if there's any openings or signs of them and then we'll meet back in here in ten."
