After downing an entire bottle of strong liquor, Santiago flipped to his feet

with surprising agility. Swaying slightly, he flashed a grin at Emmanuel. “Want

a bottle too?*

With a flick of his wrist, four large gourd–shaped wine bottles dangled from

his belt.

Everyone around was stunned.

What kind of drunk carries around gallons of booze?

“Why not? Hand me one!”

Emmanuel was ready to warm up, and with a flick of his wrist, he shrugged

Chester snorted quietly, choosing not to say anything further. He had said his

piece. If Emmanuel wanted to risk his neck, that was his choice.

Soon enough, the helicopters hoisted two massive boulders into the air.

These rocks, while huge to the human eye, seemed insignificant against the
