one closed fist. The action generated a dull booming sound. "If the financial details can be worked
out and I see no reason why they cannot then in the interests of preserving the peace and ensuring the
safety of the two females, we might agree to release them into your custody. After all, they are human. It
is not as if they are bonobos." His expression narrowed. "But we will do this only if they consent to go
with you of their own free will. The Ciudad Simiano does have a reputation to maintain."
Cardenas turned away from the imposing icon of Koko. "So does the NFP. I wouldn't want to see
either damaged."

"I suppose you would like to meet with the two females and make certain they are indeed the pair that
you seek."
Hyaki contained his excitement. It was starting to look as if the long trip south was going to turn out to
be productive after all. "That would be a good next step, yeah."
Cardenas nodded agreement. "How long before you can locate them and bring them back here, or take
us to them?"
Sorong grinned like an overgrown kid. "About five minutes." Raising a massive gray arm, he pointed to
one of the many tracks that led back into the surrounding jungle. "They're staying in guest house number
three. It is clearly marked, you cannot miss it. I would go with you, but I have much work to do. After
you have introduced yourselves, we can proceed from there. Be sure to announce your arrival before
entering the building."
Thanking him, they parted ways, the two federales heading in the direction of the indicated path. Dense
verdure quickly closed in around them. The proximity to exotic rainforest vegetation and the plethora of
insects and arachnids it accommodated probably did not bother the primates. Used to cityscapes and
open spaces, the two urbanized visitors from the north were considerably less at ease in the thick jungle.
Cardenas was glad it was only a short walk to their indicated destination, and said so.
"It's not so bad." Bending low, Hyaki ducked beneath an overhanging branch heavy with leaves and
small nesting epiphytes. "All you have to do is pretend that you're walking through the botanical gardens
in North Tucson. The smell's the same."
Glancing back at his partner, Cardenas's eyes widened slightly. For once, it was left to the sergeant to
do the intuiting. "Something wrong?"
"Depends." The Inspector continued to stare. "On whether you can pretend that the spider that's riding
on your shoulder is like the ones you're likely to find in the botanical gardens in North Tucson."
Looking to his left, Hyaki found himself eye to eye with a typically enormous representative of the group
of arachnids known as the orb weavers. With legs longer than the federale's fingers and a
black-and-yellow abdomen the size of his fist, the giant orb spider made for an imposing presence on the
sergeant's shoulder. Spurning his visitor's sartorial elegance, Hyaki began yelling and thrashing wildly with
both hands, until the huge arachnid had been knocked off into the brush. That it was not particularly
poisonousmattered not an iota to the unhappy sergeant. Even had he been aware of the fact, it was
doubtful he would have reacted any more calmly.
Cardenas could not blame him. In his experience, few folk liked spiders, and he was not ashamed to
admit that he could count himself among them. Righting itself among the leaves and other forest detritus
where it had landed, the orb weaver scuttled rapidly out of sight.
Hyaki continued to twitch nervously and brush repeatedly at himself for several minutes following the
encounter. "Brrrr! I'd rather face a squat of ninlocos." He held up thumb and forefinger. "The damn thing
was this close to my face!"
"I'm told it's not what you can see that gets to you in places like this." Cardenas warily pushed aside a
sapling that was sprouting from the center of the trail. "It's the things you can't. Leeches, for example.
Ticks and fleas. Flies carrying leishmaniasis. Bugs that " [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
