Chapter Four

The Land Rover tires continued to tear into newly damp soil flinging it all along the sides of the automobile. The young african slowly slid back down onto the floor where he had laid before. He now knew where he was and where the stranger was heading. Why was this white man heading
for such a small town? Either way, there was no point in fighting now. He knew that any act would likely result in being stuck in the middle of the wastelands that lay between river and cities. Vincent’s eyes were a glazed and even more clouded with thoughts of the past. They never saw the two eyes that watched him so carefully or the burning orange needle climbing over 80 kilometers an hour on this washboard trail. The dashboard was shaking violently when suddenly it stopped. Vincent’s thoughts snapped immediately to his environment. The wiper blades
moved slowly across the windscreen clearing, for a few seconds, a view of an embankment quickly falling beneath the automobile and a surging river only a few feet ahead. With another swipe of the wiper blades the land rover stuck the river head on and flipped over onto its top before rolling back right side up. In the back the young african clung to the back seat with all his strength but was flung against the passenger side of the car when the car rolled right side up. Dazed, he opened his eyes to see Vincent with a knife lunging for him. Water was swirling into
the car from every direction. He half turned but was unable to get away from the bright blade or the strong hands that held him once again. Vincent grab his hands and cut the bands and stowed the knife back into the pack. Vincent was yelling over the raging river. “Roll down the window!” As he said it he began rolling the opposite window down. Water now flowed even faster into the car. The Young African tried to escape through the door now behind him. Pushing with all his strength the door would not move. Vincent had now rolled down two windows and returned to
the young african. “Wait until the car is almost full, hold your breath and then open the door and swim for the shore.” The intense blue eyes bounce back and forth searching for some sign of understanding. When the african nodded slightly he moved back and waited near the center of the car. To the african he looked regal, like a captain going down with his ship. There was wisdom in his manners and the african decided to obey. With the car nearly full Vincent cried “Now!” The young African pushed at the door expecting a unmovable force to hold it closed as before, but to
his surprise it popped right open. Grabbing one last breath he swam into the now raging waters that fought past him and toward the surface. He was carried several feet away from car as it continued to move downstream but he quickly made it to shore and without even thinking continued to run toward the not too distant town whose lights danced and sparkled in the distance. He was beginning to pick up speed when something cold and cruel dug into his leg.
He knew about the crocodiles that infested these waters and was taught to never go near them.
Despair entered with crushing force into his soul and his face went blank of all emotion. Looking down he saw white digging into his flesh. Pure adrenaline surged his body and continued running, making it two or three steps with the creature until the weight brought him down. Turning and looking back at death, he saw the white man holding his leg with amazing strength, fingernails cutting into his leg. “Help”, was all Vincent could say.
