Mathias has explained it to Veronica, albeit in a slightly distressed state, and he thinks he can probably explain it to Henry as well, just as long as he gives himself the time to find the right words. "We... there were men," he says carefully. "From a nearby village. They didn't speak English or Spanish, but we knew they were trying to get us to leave. We should have just left, but I couldn't. My brother was there somewhere..."
Drawing in a breath, Mathias stares down at his hands for a moment and then looks up again. "Amy was trying to take pictures and she stepped in the vines at the base of the hill. After that they didn't want us to leave, they wanted us to go up. They had weapons, they would have killed us. So we went up and we found nothing. Empty tents and a windlass that went down into some kind of mine."
