They Come Back Different

"So, Harold what did he say?" asked Jake who was still freaking out for what he saw.  "They said that they knew about the bodies.  The floor below us is filled with dead people.  He said that it was a dead farm.  You know where they study the bodies to see how long it takes to decompose." explained Harold  "What the hell men.  When were they going to tell us?  No wonder we're the only one here, no one that stupid, but for us.  Get on the phone and call the hotel in the City, and asked the fucken clerk to supply us with some tents, I'm not spending the night in a hotel filled with stinking dead bodies." said Jake  

 "I agree with him.  Harold, why?" asked Luke  "I didn't want to have to walk, I figure I'll stay here while you and Jake have your adventure.  I didn't know that we were going to be the only one.  Sorry, the call the hotel on the other side of the ocean, so when we get back to we'll have a place to stay and rest before heading home." he said as he picked up the cell and made the call.  They gathered the bags and headed back downstairs to the lobby.  The smell of death filled the air as the elevator passed the other floors going down.    They reach the lobby they exited the hotel.   The clerk followed them outside.  "Excuse me, Sir, you paid for three days, why are you leaving?" he asked  "Why are we leaving?  Are you serious?  This hotel is a dead farm, who don't you disclose that.  You owe us a large tent and a safe spot to set up camp." said Jake while pointing in his face.    "No need to get hostile, I will get you what you need," he said as he went into the building.

"So, what now?" said Harold  "Well it's your lucky day.  We are going to the river of wishes, you are going to wish that we don't kill you for this.  Start walking it's about two miles up the hill." said Jake as he shoved Harold to make sure he walked in the direction that he demanded.  While they walked, a young boy named Ricardo approached them.  "You men,  you seem lost, for a dollar, I'll help you find your way." said the young boy.  "We're not lost, but you can help us anyway.  We're looking for the river of wishes.  Do you know how to get there?" asked Jake  "Yes, dollar first and help later."  Ricardo as he extended his hand.    Harold quickly placed a dollar in the palm of his hand.  "Follow me, sir, this way." said the young boy.  

They walked one mile up the hillside, then over a small hill.   Jake saw the waterfall first, and as they got closer, he saw the beautiful clear river.  "Are  you the crazy Americans who are staying at the dead farm?" Ricardo asked laughing.   "Yes, so what, we didn't know," said Jake without returning his smile.    "Sorry sir, don't get upset at me. It's funny, sir that's all." said the kid as he continued to walked towards the riverside.
