Against the Wild Page #7

At least we know

they're looking for us.

- No luck, Mr. Wade?

- No, nothing.

Hmm. Well, as you know,

our main chopper

started a search

a couple hours ago.

Did they spot anything

with the infrared?

No, just wildlife.

We're going to have them

stay out tonight

as long as their fuel lasts,

and in the morning...

we'll be sending in

additional teams on foot.

- Okay.

- Okay?

My children have to spend

the night out there?

Susan. Captain Walker,

this is my wife Susan.

Mrs. Wade.

At this point, yes,

it looks like the kids

will be out all night.

Well, how cold will it get?

Just a few degrees colder

than here.

Looks like it's going

to stay above freezing,

so as long as they

stay in the plane

or find some form of shelter,

they will be

at minimal risk of exposure.

Minimal risk?

Yes, ma'am.

What about the emergency

locator transmitter?

Has that been

any help at all?

No, we lost the signal.

It died.

Well, how'd that happen?

It must have been damaged

or a short circuit.

Anyway, the battery died.

It sometimes happens with

these older analog ELTs.

But if that plane

had modern equipment,

we would have

found our kids by now.

Isn't that right,

Captain Walker?

How do you know

about all this?

Sheila told me.

Quite possibly, yes.

So what are we going to do?

Well, at this point, the

important thing is to stay calm.

Would you be calm if it were

your children out there?

No, I would not,

but rest assured, Mrs. Wade,

we are doing everything

we can to find your children.

Fine.

Susan.

What, Robert?

Where are you going?

They set me up in a trailer.

I'm going to go back there

and not sleep.

Well, there's a canteen here.

Do you want to go get

a hot meal or cup of coffee?

No. I'm just going to go

back to the trailer.

I'll see you in the morning.

Susan.

We're going to get

our kids back. I promise.

Don't.

No more promises.

Was it worth it?

Was what worth it?

All of this...

your job, the money,

all this time

away from your family?

It's already

ruined our marriage.

Now maybe we're going

to lose our kids too.

Is it worth it?

I don't think

we'll ever find Daddy's mine.

Maybe it's too far away.

Yeah, maybe.

I don't think

we should stay here either.

They've already looked here.

Hey, do you see that

flat thing up there?

Yeah.

That big flat

area-looking thing?

You mean like a plateau?

Yes, brainiac, like a plateau.

Maybe if we get up there,

they'll be able to see us,

they can find us.

- Yeah, let's go.

- All right.

Now, we believe

the plane went down

somewhere in this area,

so we've divided

the map into six.

There will be six teams,

each assigned

your particular section
