the hidden temple ch.5

It looks like things couldn't get any worse, being stuck in the jungle without flashlights, moving every night to a different site. As that night came sooner than most i had appeared to be. Jim had gone fishing for dinner at a near by river while William and Cheryl were setting up the campsite again. Jonah and Riley stayed close by and had gone to look for dead twigs to make a fire. When Jim came back and was cooking the fish he caught and it was a big one i might add Jonah asked him a question.

"are there any other kids in the jungle or are we going to see any other tour?"

Jim simply said

"no, we are not going to meet up with another tour. There are several tours that go on at the same time but they are on different parts of the island..in a couple of days we will be where they are and they will be where we are now."

"and as for if there are any other kids....i've heard stories from my co-workers that they have come across a few stranded kids before from time to time. THey say they try to have them come back to the hotel with them but the kids keep their distance and seemed to have gone wild and adapted and forgotten all about their outside world. The suspect they are some of the kids that went..."

Cheryl rudely interrupted

"i don't want you scaring the kids Jim, lets leave this story for another time."

"yes ma'am"

Shorty after cheryl and william went to sleep and the kids were still up and asked Jim to continue the story. Without hesitation he started..

"The suspect they are some of the kids that went missing. They get lost and rarely get found. We always keep a picture of all the kids that go missing and we have to carry them on the tours they are like school pictures they say their names on it and on the back its their parents information and contact numbers just in case we can get them to go back to the hotel and their parents can pick them up."

This seemed to make Jonah a little bit more curious about trying to find other kids to play with besides his sister. As the light form the fire died out and the jungle was silent and everyone almost everyone was asleep it was a pretty good night. Except for the fact that Riley was having alot of trouble sleeping, she would fall asleep and the wake up and then fall asleep and wake up again. She was having terible night mares about getting lost in the jungle and never seeing her family again and having to survive on her own. All of this scared her and went running towards her mothers tent and slept there for the rest of the night. The only noise in the air was the sounds of crickets but yet who doesn't like crickets... of course unless one happens to find its way into your house and then you'll be up trying to find it.
