Georgie's POV:
We headed towards Packard's flare and we docked the boat. The river was much smaller where we were and I stepped off the boat. We heard footsteps and Packard and his group emerged from the jungle. "Slivko!" Mills said. Slivko smiled and ran over to hug his friend. "How are you, man?" Slivko said. Mills said "we saw some crazy shit but other than that I'm ok." I looked amongst the crowd of men and said "where's Chapman?" Packard put his hand on my shoulder and said "we haven't found him yet. That's what we're going to do." I nodded and took a deep breath. Worry washed over me and I felt Slivko hug me. "Hey you're ok. I'm right here." He said. I didn't hug him back at first and he said "hug me back." I looked up at him and clung to him. "We need to go to his heli. It's past that boneyard." Packard said. Hank said "that's so out of the way. We'll never make it to the north side. That's also where those Skull Crawlers live." "He's one of my men. I have go for him." Packard said. "Hank I know that it's out of the way and as much as I care about Chapman...we should just go." I said. Packard huffed in disbelief and said "you're willing to leave him?" I let go of Slivko and said "I haven't talked to him in 24 hours. Do you understand that?" "I'm going back for him. Because you're too stupid to go back." Packard said. I gasped and said "I've been worried sick this whole time. And you have the audacity to call me stupid?" "Because you are! You wanna go back to the boat and leave men behind! He's alive and waiting for us! Wait till he finds out you wanted to leave him. I bet you wouldn't leave Officer Slivko." Packard said. I shuddered and tears welled up into my eyes. "Woah too far." Mason said. "Shut up!" Packard said to her. James immediately stood in front of her and Packard said "I'm going to tell Jack that you wanted to leave him here." "He wouldn't break contact with us. I don't want to leave him but I don't want to look for him if he's dead. I don't want to see him dead." I said as my voice broke. Packard scoffed and Cole said "it's ok. We'll just go. If we don't find him we're out." James said "exactly." Packard scoffed and led the way with Randa following him close behind. I panted and Hank said "you ok?" I nodded and Mills said "Georgie?" I walked away from the men and I heard Slivko's footsteps behind me. "Georgie..." He said. I sniffled and shook my head. He said "hey." He tried to grab me and I shoved him away from me. He looked taken aback and he grabbed me and I said "leave me alone!" He hugged me and said "stop. Quit pushing me away. I'm here for you. I love you. Please don't push me away." I sniffled and he held me tightly. "You're ok. Don't listen to him. He's ignorant. He's angry that he can't leave because he cares about Chapman. But he doesn't want to leave without him." Slivko said. "Neither do I." My voice cracked. He took my hand in his and said "come on." I wiped my tears and we walked towards the group. As we made it onto the hill we looked at the large bones that laid on the ground.

"What are those?" I asked

"What are those?" I asked. "Kong's parents." Hank said. Packard led the way and we all followed. I sniffled every once in a while and I heard a lighter go off. Cole brought a cigarette to his lips and Mills said "Cole we ain't got time for that." Cole rolled his eyes and inhaled deeply. He removed it from his mouth and threw it off to the side. An explosion went off causing Mills and Cole to jump to safety.
