"It's not the same as Mexico," he says. "The island is full of people, we're not in the middle of the jungle." He turns and looks out over the beach, surprised by just how far he can see even though the hill isn't all that big. "I can see eight huts from here alone and the beach is always busy. Someone will come by and see what's happening and we'll be able to communicate with them. We can tell them to get the IPD, we'll be okay."
He breathes out, trying to calm his racing heart. "All we have to do is wait."
What he doesn't anticipate is that they'll miss the approach. That the men will force more people up onto his hill.
