Ambushed

After a few hours, they arrived back at their base. Nobody said a word as they got out. Greg went and grabbed Matthew's body from the back of the truck. Guillermo went into the house and came back out with a few sheets, he and Star wrapped Matthew's corpse in them, while Greg and Natalie dug him a grave.

Guillermo and Star stood over the sheet covered corpse, bawling and embracing each other. "I could've saved him," Star choked out. "I should've looked back..."

"No... he wouldn't have let you," Guillermo whispered. "That was one thing about him, he wouldn't let you help him..." he shed tears. "That's one thing I've always envied him for."

Greg and Natalie finished digging the grave. Natalie sat down and cried a little. "We can't blame ourselves, not for this," She said.

Greg clenched his fists and broke down. "He was my friend, and I let him down," he choked out. He went and picked up the body. He set him in the hole, and piled the dirt back on top of him.
