Talpert seemed confused as JD transferred guard duty to him, but that seemed to make the captive even more nervous, as though the pr flack might just blow him away by accident. The Mexican gave Talpert a little smile, actually trying to reassure the man.<br/><br/>The speedster's question raised a little debate about the nature of their crash as Oscar and Athena wired the plane up. They needed just enough explosives to ruin anything that might be useful in the wrong hands, and quickly had the aircraft ready to light up. The other captive thug seemed to gather his bearings quickly when he realized why they had to move away from the plane, and presently they all set off into the jungle. Minutes after they departed, an explosion ripped the quiet, and they could see smoke rising behind them from the wired detonation. A warm wind blew their way, and that was the end of their Freedom Force jet.<br/><br/>"JD, I really don't think a drug cartel would have the technology to bring down our plane, not like this," Jane said, getting back to JD's question. They were all moving through the jungle, their two captives looking unhappy. Jane had been sticking close to JD. "One of you mentioned an EMP or nuclear blast, but I don't think so, not with our other electronics working. I saw the glow, too; it came from the jungle, but it didn't really look like a blast."<br/><br/>The jungle was thick, and without any roads or paths it wasn't easy to move through. Consulting the GPS device, Athena saw that they were in the heart of Bolivia. The closest civilization appeared to be a place called Yucuma, about twenty miles to the north-west. Not only were they going to have to slog through dense jungle, but in a few miles they would hit a river they would have to cross.
