“No, you are good to go,” she said. “I’ll let you know ahead of time if I need you for a test.”
Julius heard something in her voice that made him think back to Lin’s words. He thought about asking the doctor more about what was happening with the samples he had given her, and what she’d learned from them, but held his tongue.
“Well then,” he said, “I’ll see you later.”
Julius walked up to his room and began putting some stuff into his bag. There was one other reason he had for wanted to be out on the island, and it had to remain secret, at least until the trip was underway. He wanted to find Lin’s boat.
If it did turn out that he was really being kept on the island for ulterior reasons, that boat was the only chance he had. Finding it would be hard enough, and being able to make it hundreds of miles across the ocean back to the mainland would be a long shot, but he wanted to have the option. Hopefully, it wouldn’t end up being necessary.
Anna had given him back his gun after the beach incident, and he tucked it away in one of the front pockets of his back pack. It was better to have it and not need than to need it and not have it.
Julius left his room, and saw his mom leaving the elevator down the hall. That hadn’t spoken since the night before, and honestly, he didn’t know what to say to her. Their relationship was evolving, and not necessarily in way that was going to bring them closer together as mother and son.
“So that’s it then,” Laura said to him, “You aren’t even going to apologize for last night?”
“Mom, you started this whole thing,” said Julius. “I love you, but this doesn’t feel right…”
“I’m not some slut that you can treat however you want,” said his mom. Her voice was even, more matter of fact than upset. She walked up close to Julius, and stood just inches away, close enough that he could feel her body heat and smell her perfume.
“I know mom, I’m sorry,” he said.
“There sweetie, was that so hard?” she asked. Laura gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and then a longer, more intimate kiss on the lips. Julius had to tear himself away from her and force his feet to bring him to the elevator.
“I’m heading out for today, mom,” he said. “Hold down the fort.”
“Bye, sweetie.”
The elevator doors closed, and Julius realized that he had an erection. He tried to shake it off as it brought him down to the ground floor.
Maya was already waiting for him in the lobby, with a bag slung over her shoulder. He couldn’t help but check her out as he walked over. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and a pair of black leggings, along with sneakers that looked only somewhat appropriate for hiking.
“Are you ready?” asked Julius.
“Yes!” said Maya. “Anna should be meeting us down here, any second.”
The elevator behind him opened, and with perfect timing, Anna strode out of it. Her clothing was almost the polar opposite of the cute, modest outfit that Maya had picked out.
The blond bombshell was clad in a tight flannel shirt that showed off the edges of her bra and pushed her big tits into the forefront, along with a tiny pair of jean cutoffs. Julius tried not to stare at her, but it was hard, and Anna let out a little giggle when she noticed his struggle.
“Let’s do this!” said Anna. “Thanks for letting me come along, you guys.”
“Uh yeah, sure,” said Julius. “You are more than welcome.”
The three of them headed out into the front yard of the hotel. There was no clear path leading off into the less developed areas of Granos Island, so Julius began by leading them around back. They passed by the shed as they moved into the foliage, and for some reason, it gave him a strange premonition of what was to come.
CHAPTER 23
“We aren’t just heading out for fun, just so you guys know.” Julius had begun leading them through the vegetation, and felt like it was time for him to reveal his plan.
“What do you mean?” asked Maya.
“I found out something from our prisoner,” he said. “She arrived on a boat, and if I can manage it, I want to find out where it is while we’re out here today.”
“Why the secrecy?” she replied. “Couldn’t you have told everyone this at breakfast?”
“It didn’t come up,” said Julius. “Besides, I’d rather find it first and then have something to back my words up with.”
The jungle was much denser than Julius had expected it to be. He did his best to clear a path for the girls as they went, but it was a slow, deliberate process. Even the upper level of vines and leaves worked to impede them, blocking out light and giving the ground an almost suffocating feeling.
The area was free of any venomous or poisonous creatures, and so luckily, the only major concerns for Julius and the girls were the vegetation and the heat, which seemed to be more intense than it had been on previous days. Julius could feel the sweat beginning to drip from his forehead, and wiped it off with the bottom of his shirt.
“So how do you know that her boat is going to be out this way?” asked Anna.
“I don’t,” he replied.
“Couldn’t it be, theoretically, anywhere on the coast of the island?”
Anna was right, but the tone in her voice irked Julius slightly. He turned towards her and wrinkled his forehead.
“I have a good reason for suspecting that she came from over this way,” he said. “If she really was trying to keep a low profile, she would have avoided the half of the island with the air strip and the hotel on it, at least to begin with.”
“That makes sense,” said Maya.
Julius kept pushing his way forward. After another few minutes of improvised bush whacking, he found something that was unexpected. A thin path stretched out through the center of the jungle, too obvious to be incidental. He looked down at the ground and saw what looked like the remains of crushed brick, or possibly even gravel, and it had managed to keep plants from growing where it lay.
“Hmmm,” he said. “This is a definite sign of Granos once having had people on it in the past.”
“There were some natives here, but they all died off a while back,” said Anna. “I’m talking at least several hundred years ago, probably more.”
“Well, maybe we’ll spot something interesting on our way,” said Julius. “The more we know about this place, the better.”
He began leading them down the path. For the most part, it just passed straight through the jungle. After a couple hundred feet, they came to a small marked out square off to the side that appeared to be an ancient foundation of some sort.
There was nothing else notable for a while, and then after about ten more minutes of walking at a quick pace, the path exited out into a small clearing, with many more traces of ancient buildings and agriculture. The three of them took a break for a minute, walking around the area and seeing what they could find.
“This…is a little unexpected,” said Maya. “I always figured that the rest of the island was just a complete jungle. It looks like these people had really put work into developing it.”
Julius walked around the clearing, noticing bits of mortar and unusual markings in the grass.
“I wonder what happened to them?” he asked.
The three of them continued across to the other side of the clearing. They were far enough out to make finding their way back a bit of a concern, and progressed slower than they had before. Julius pushed forward, and after making it through a large tangle of vines, he spilled out onto something else of interest.
There was a huge, freshwater spring in front of them, It was about 50 feet across, and crystal clear. All of the jungle and vegetation around it seemed to be thriving, and it looked almost as though it was some type of oasis.
“Nice!” said Julius. “I say we stop for lunch here.”
“This is so beautiful,” said Anna. “It makes sense that the people would have set up nearby.”
“Yeah,” said Maya. “It’s so peaceful here.�
��
They sat down at the edge of the water, and Maya took some sandwiches and chips out of her bag that she had prepared for them. Julius skipped some of the smooth, thin rocks across the water as they ate, each of them cutting through the still water with razor precision. Anna dipped her hand into the water as they were finishing up.
“It’s warm,” she said, smiling. “I say we go for a swim!”
“I think I could get behind that,” said Julius. “It would certainly help us stave off the heat.”
“Cool, I knew I brought my swim suit for a reason!” said Maya. “I’m going to go and change, it might take me a minute.”
She left, pushing through the vegetation back the way they had come. Julius looked towards Anna, and almost did a double take. She was stripping out of her clothing as though it was the most natural thing in the world.
“Are you seriously going to swim…naked?” he asked.
“Yeah, of course, why not? You saw me the other day, didn’t you?”
Julius couldn’t help but stare at her as she slowly wiggled her way out of her jean shorts. Her butt looked so soft and supple, and he couldn’t help but get a little aroused. Anna proceeded to take off her bra and then slip out of her panties, and walk over to him, totally naked.
“Come on, Julius,” she said. “Give it a try.”
He felt his cock tensing up in his pants, and rushed to take his clothes off. It was impossible for him to hide his exposed erection, but as he watched Anna bound of into the water, he didn’t care. He rushed after her, finding that the water was warm and gentle on his flesh.
Anna began laughing and splashing him, and he responded by splashing her back. The two of them were drawing closer together almost as if drawn by some type of horny, erotic force, and their bodies met with the water up to their waists. They put up a pretense of wrestling each other under for a moment, and then their lips locked, and they began grabbing at each other’s bodies with raw, unbridled passion.
Julius didn’t care about anything other than getting his dick inside her. Anna seemed to just be begging for it, and her body called out to him as though she were a goddess of sex. He grabbed underneath her legs and lifted her into the air, pushing his erection into her mound as he lowered her down.
“Oh yeah,” said Anna. “You just couldn’t wait to fuck me, could you?”
“You are a bad girl,” he replied. “I’m going to punish you for that.”
He began bucking her up and down on his cock, feeling himself be taken in by an innate drive to spread his seed. He had wanted Anna since the very first time he’d seen her, and now it was finally time for…
“Julius! What…are you doing?”
He had completely forgotten about Maya, and sound of her voice from the edge of the spring instantly broke him out of his sexually reverie. He turned his head, and saw her dressed in her cute, girlish, pink bikini, looking at the two of them with horror written on her face.
“Maya!” he said. “I was just…”
There was no excuse he could think of to fix the situation. He slowly lowered Anna down into the water and felt himself feeling incredibly stupid.
“It looked like the two of you were-“
“Maya, relax,” said Anna. “Me and Julius were wrestling, and things got a little out of hand.”
Maya crossed her arms, still looking pretty skeptical.
“Why are you both skinny dipping?” she asked.
“Oh, come on,” replied Anna. “Not everyone is as much of a prude as you are.”
Maya glared at her, and then walked over to her bag and began putting her clothes back on over her swim suit.
“Forget it,” she said. “You know what, I’m heading back. You two can look for the boat and do whatever else that you want to do on your own!”
“Maya, hold on!” said Julius.
She didn’t wait, and hoisted her backpack over her shoulder and stomped off into the jungle. Julius looked at Anna, who just shrugged, and then headed towards the shore after her.
“Julius, it’s okay,” said Anna. “She’s a really innocent girl. Sometimes, she gets a little emotional about things.”
“No, it’s not okay,” he said. “That was a mistake. We…shouldn’t have done it.”
Anna didn’t say anything, but as Julius pulled on his shorts and looked back at her, he saw a sliver of hurt flash across her face. Before he could say anything else, however, a scream cut through the air. A scream that sounded a lot like Maya…
CHAPTER 24
“Help! I’m over here!” cried Maya. “Julius, Anna, help!”
Julius followed the sound of her voice, pushing through the thick jungle brambles and moving as quickly as he could. The vegetation was a little sparser as he moved further away from the spring, but he still couldn’t see anything from the direction she was calling from.
After another minute of trekking, he realized what the reason for that was, and almost fell right into it. A deep pit lay in front of him. It was covered with vines and plants, but a human size hole that looked recently created punched through the middle of it.
“Maya?” yelled Julius. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay,” she said. “Just a little scared, and a little dinged up.”
Anna caught up with him as they were talking. She only had time to put on her underwear, and Julius did his best to avoid looking at her. Instead, he made his way to the edge of the pit and tried to lean over the side and see what was at the bottom.
It was dark, and his eyes had a little trouble adjusting, but he could see the bottom and he could see Maya. It was about 15 feet deep, and seemed to be lined with the same type of brick they had seen crumbled on the road before.
“Just hang tight,” he said. “I’m going to see if I can get down there.”
He took a look around at the jungle trees nearby, and spotted one that had long hanging vines of the size they needed. Julius scaled up the trunk quickly and twisted the long, thick strand off at its base. He wasn’t sure if it would hold or not, but they didn’t have any other options.
“Alright, I’m going to lower this down to you,” he said. “Just grab onto it and we’ll pull you up.”
“I think I sprained my wrist,” said Maya. “I’m not sure if I can make it up on my own.”
Julius looked around, and saw a stump near the edge of the other side of the pit. He walked over to it and tied the vine tightly around it, and then lowered himself down over the side slowly, brushing through the ceiling of vegetation as he went.
“I’m coming down,” said Julius. “Don’t worry, Maya, we’ll-“
He stopped in mid-sentence as he looked at the ground below. The new hole he had made let more light in and it was now possible to see what the pit contained. There were bones, dozens, if not hundreds of them, all looking like they came from human bodies. Julius dropped down to the bottom and looked around at the ghoulish scene.
“Well…” he said. “I guess this could explain where all of the people went.”
“Look!” said Maya. She pointed behind him, and when he turned around and looked at the far wall of the pit he realized that it contained a small opening, with nothing but darkness visible within.
“Wow,” Julius said. “This is so strange…”
He walked over to it and looked inside. It looked like a tunnel, but there wasn’t enough light to see how far it extended. Julius took out his phone and shined the light from it in, only to see it be swallowed up by the furthest reaches of the shadow.
“This thing must lead somewhere,” he said. “We should-“
“No!” cried Maya. “I mean, we should stick with our original goal and find the boat. That’s the more pressing concern right now.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right,” said Julius.
He walked back over to the vine, and with a little help from Anna above, they managed to lift Maya out of the pit. He scaled the wall, one leg after another, and joined them up at the top.
> “This is so weird,” said Julius. “Did anyone ever mention to either of you that there was something on the island like this?”
“No…” said Anna. “I’m not sure that I really…would have wanted to know.”
Nobody said anything for a moment. Julius looked around the area, committing the landmarks into his memory the best that he could.
“Alright,” he said. “Let’s keep moving. We only have until the late afternoon to find this thing.”
They continued moving through the jungle, clearing their own path as they went. Julius found himself wondering what the island had looked like back when it had hosted a native population. It was small, but the climate was good and between the sea and the soil, there would have been plenty to eat.
He began to hear the sounds of waves and the ocean, and knew that they were getting close. The pushed through one last wave of trees, and spilled out onto the beach.
“Well, we’ve made it to the other side,” he said. “That wasn’t too bad of a trip.”
“So how do we find this boat, exactly?” asked Anna. She was scanning the shore, looking for anything that stood out on the horizon.
“Simple,” said Julius. “Follow me.”
He began leading them around the edge of the beach. The sand was just as untouched and beautiful, and they walked for a while without finding anything. After checking several empty spots, they reached a bend that curved around to the back of the island. The upper bank curled up into a cliff, and down below the edge of the land was shielded by a couple of bushes and trees.
“This might be it,” he said. The three of them walked over, and sure enough, hidden just off the shore was a small, military grade inflatable raft. It had high edges, and seemed to be rugged enough to survive a short journey on the ocean, while still being light enough to drag across the sand.
“Awesome!” said Anna. “It looks like this trip was a good idea after all.”
“Let’s take a look and see if we can find anything that tells us a little more about our prisoner,” said Julius.
