ILL-FATED JOURNEY™

Chapter 36

Our unwanted guests were here as well. Dressed like Vladimir in all black and carrying weapons

as they searched the beach. Vladimir looked behind us then at the force on the beach. He knew

it too; we were about to be trapped. 

"This is protected sea and air space," He whispered. "How the hell did they get here and with no 

warning!"

I had no answer to that. I was just as surprised no one heard that helicopter flying overhead. 

"Wait ...you mean ...that's why I saw no planes or boats!" I stated, realizing the source of one of

"The men are not just for you. They are for me." He corrected.

My eyes narrowed, "You just said..."

"They are here to get you from me...and they'll need everyone." He finished with a gleam I last
