                                               (Page 31)


       ... At the from part of the submarine, Rambo gives short and 
           direct orders. His expressions is indescribable. He has the
           st homicide look in his eyes. He has all his arsenal pointing
           to the camp. 
           "Robie is dead..." he thinks, and then he says, "Fire!"

       ... At that moment, Cora, who was escaped essly because 
           nobody ever pays attentions to her, and who has seen the
           attack to Robie and Jack, looks for Robie's body desperately
           between the branches that fall in the water, knowing that 
           Rambo is going to bomb the jungle. She jumps and swims.
           She hears the enemy soldiers who have hidden, getting 
           together and coming back to the camp.
           "That's it", she murmurs, "get together so that the boss
           can kill you better..."

       ... Cora sumerges, immobile, goes out to breath and 
           continues looking for Robie. In front of her, there's 
           a tree literally fallen in the water. Cora murmurs
           "That's the place".
           She swims frenetically, sees Robie hanging from the
           branches just when the first missile impacts at dos
           kilometres inside. Then, the second nearer. She tries 
           to take Robie out without breaking any branch but
           she can't from the bottom. She climbs with difficulty.
           Robie is still breathing but she is bleeding a lot.
           So, she ties her own belt over the wound, and with 
           great difficulty, she gets her up. Cora falls slowly
           with Robie over her, sliding down through the mud 
           towards the water. There are already trees burning.
           Two more missiles go over them. Cora submerges
           placing her hand over Robie's mouth and nose.
           When she goes out, everithing is as fire hell and
           different things come from everywhere: pieces of
           tress and military supplies. Under the top of the 
           tree they are saved from these projectiles, but
           suddenly, this one also goes starts to burn and Cora
           must get away from it before it falls.
           She swims towards her right with Robie still 
           unconscious, in the opposite direction of the 
           camp, the place that Rambo and jis people will
           choose to come in. A hundred metres, two hundred.
           At five hundred metres she find a river that stop the
           fire. And she goes in it. The water is warmer, which
          is good for Robie, who has got colder and colder...
          Cora has to swim against the current and she gets tires.
          At intervals she stop to look at Robie, who is still alive.
          She doesn't dare to go to the land. Besides, she wouldn't
          be able to raise her. The river is getting narrower and 
          the current is getting worse.
          "Hang on, Robie, it's only for a few minutes..."
          At that moment, she notices the rocks.
          "That's ir. We arrived..."
