time here this time you're going with me you know I'm not I think I'll get a kick out of this John I'm going up in the back country of where the key to get material for my book no expedition no fancy trappings just you me and the Igor looks just you and the it'll be good for you Dan we'll get you in shape rest up a bit before we strike out we'll get all that stuff for a lot of your system might even get you to quit hating yourself I know you think you hate me maybe you do all I know is you're my brother and I'm not gonna let you go completely the pieces feel great doesn't it when I want it and it never talks back it's printed on the label 16 full ounces no platitudes have any clothes except those on your back travel light any that's the square women to play Kate before we clear out of here crazy for really think I'm going with it might make it as far as Japan tonight we'll put up with cast for a while he'd like that yes you mean cast blood so sure he's still around must be in his middle 60s by now is fatter than ever and richer I see him a couple of times a year I guess but maybe you'd forgotten cast been a long time it had been a long time but cast blood so was one guy I'd never forget I used to hang around his plantation near Gopin when I was a kid my old man was an engineer in the islands I know a good thing when I saw it even then and cast had it made but good a lot of cheap native labor all the money in the world that's what I call a good thing that's what I look for all my life brother Matthew I hated his insides I always had it wasn't so bad when he was off somewhere but when he was around I thought I'd blow my car I hated him that much he had me this time though I was flat broke and he knew it I had to go with him you see no one's done exactly the kind of study I want to do on the Igorotes the lecture can wait till we get the castes come on Dan admit it's not a bad idea I think it's a lousy idea one Matt tell cast all about it yeah explain it to me I've lived in the fringe of the big country for years I never gave a hoot what makes the Igorotes you stubborn old baboon you still won't give a hoot even if I do explain it to you know how I'm interested I really want to know do you know Daniel I'm like you I don't give a hoot Dan and I will have to do a lot of talking together before we go in well briefly the good the thing that's intriguing about the Igorotes is this on the one hand they're a tribe of highly developed skills mining principally they live in orderly villages practice monogamy and generally lead productive peaceful lives but I'm missing yeah yeah well on the other hand some of these same people are thoroughly taken practice head hunting and you want to know why partly I want to know where the system is in the tribe you know what makes one group completely diverse from the other there's a link of development that's just missing and I want to know what it is why it is and just the two of you are going in there to find out well I've got a theory that large expeditions marching in setting up camp and equipment and what they just simply drive the natives farther into the brush but Daniel and I can go in make friends with them and very quietly observe them they'll get used to us after a while and I really believe that we can come up with some important data anyway it's worth a try isn't it Dan that's what you keep saying and I know and I don't understand what gets inside a man that makes him blaze trails risk his life to track down this data for a book no one but professors will give a hang about you Daniel what drives you to do it Matthew he thinks the other pagans and I'll get along just fine well don't misunderstand the pineapple will you Matthew I admire thank you whatever it is Matthew here will tell you every time I see him I marvel at his plans I listen and admire them all the more but I never quite understand and I know is I wish I'd had some of the quality when I was young enough to do something about it you're always making me sound like a bloody hero cast I'm not at all this drive you call it's or something while you're born with it you know well you're born with it money huh money and an inherited capacity for doing nothing in a very elaborate fashion that's what's wrong everything was always too dad blamed easy is that bad the things have to be tough what's wrong with money especially if someone just hands it to you man needs challenge in his life I never had any thank heavens I can appreciate when I see it I turn this whole blasted plantation over to Matthew in a minute just to feel as I've done one worthwhile thing in my fat life that he won't hear of it and he calls me selling I lose money for you you know it you would not have 100 innovations going before the first week without ever see him tackle anything and not come out on top than you never in my whole life well I'll tell you one thing I wouldn't think much of you if you're any different than you are and if they give me the years back and let me have another try you wouldn't do it any differently than you have all right I think you're right but I know this much I'll never turn this place over to a bum like me either I'll let Yolo run it first where's one I'd like some coffee no yeah yeah I guess we all need some Yolo sir coffee sir Yolo bring fine coffee good Yolo and don't forget also bring brandy plenty brandy good boy all right yeah yeah please thanks Yolo hi Yolo how's the reading coming Yolo very fine read thank you sir good all this my brother Yolo Daniel this is Cass's prized possession pleased to meet you sir very pleased hello Yolo Yolo read about mr. Dan in place lion's den why why tell Daniel what you think of Matthew your own mr. Matt very fine man sir and what do you think of me mr. Cass very rich man you see Daniel I've raised as in great as if he were my son and he thinks more of Matthew than it doesn't mean the love feast went on and on and on every time cast took another slug of brandy he'd hand the plantation over to Matthew again and warned the boy just kept handing it back I had time we were gonna stay on with Cass for a few days and hard as it was in my insides it looks smart to come off as a carbon copy of brother Matthew the drunkard he got the moral brandy blow began to look like a good thing to me real good thing I was a model boy those next few days now if we start out early enough in the morning Yolo thinks we can make it to yeah yeah to this clearing right here's by tomorrow night yeah yeah what is Yolo know about well this country's the back of his hand hasn't cast told you Yolo's a negro his family still lives back up in the hills okay okay so we're here tomorrow night yeah when do we hit the first well about mid-afternoon the second day we'll set up headquarters there and work out of there as soon as we know the territory make a few friends sounds real cozy all right guess we're setting mm-hmm damn yeah you're doing a good job I'm proud of them thanks it's a long time since we really been brothers it'll be a good thing this trip yeah I think so yeah come on and come in couldn't wake Matthew oh one there no wonder thought we'd just have a little drink together to the heroes huh then I'll have a nightcap with your cast I want to talk to Yolo again then hit the all right all right see you in the morning kiss yeah like that yeah nine you sure you need that drink yes you sound just like him pretty sure I don't need it boy pretty sure I don't need most of them I take pretty sure yeah okay eagerness for you you and Matthew save journey thanks I don't know you like I know him but you've got something I can tell something doers that's what you are amount to something never did myself look you're pretty hard on yourself guts you got guts both of you got never had any myself never done all right without them listen boy listen don't let anything happen to Matthew like a son to me don't know you I know this though you're a bad one a lot of devil in you like me just like a son to me man needs a son and when you get back if you get back I was like carrying a beach whale packing him off to his room loading him in the bed I made him comfortable but the drunken old fool was shopping around for a son I'd make it easy for him to find one Matthew and Cass had one more good natured exchange before we left the next morning just kill me they don't have a hangover so be my where I won't let you go Matthew if you're idiot enough to go in and fake caught the headhunters I'll at least have the satisfaction of knowing I sent you in good hands Cass you can't Yolo's your right hand you need him here just let him lead you to his old village and he'll come back won't you Yolo yes sir make very fast with Yolo to lead no trail very good also help making me a friend well you'd be a big help Yolo sure but Matthew I think it's a good idea if Cass can spare him a few days I certainly can besides it'll make me feel as if I'm doing something for you at least you can all right all right but you hurry back to Cass as soon as we're safely in the village Yolo yes sir Yolo understand that's better and you Daniel any young man who can lift me in my full load of brandy is worth having around anytime Matthew doesn't need you let me know well thanks Cass I remember that we will return to escape in just a moment but first highway safety is a state of mind yes the state of the driver's mind his viewpoint about taking chances on his own and others lives governs whether or not our roadways are safe or unsafe with warm weather returning and this a holiday weekend in many parts of the nation be cautious be extremely cautious watch your state of mind when behind the steering wheel your life depends on it others do too and now back to escape Yolo picked a path forward through the thick on the growth and I kept looking back with the mark signs that would lead me out again when the time came by evening Yolo it nosed out a little clearing we made camp there I watch Yolo in the fire light his eyes kept darting out into the night his head cocked listening here's I can tell we must be about halfway between Gimba and Bunga Bunda and what does that mean just that tomorrow afternoon should see us in Yolo's home village he did a good job Yolo we wouldn't be this far without you Yolo very slow tomorrow do better you sleep Yolo watch and listen Yolo what kind of sound does a headhunter make no sound all very quick Mr. Dan have no fear no why not have a fine head like Mr. Matt that's a dubious honor headhunter think soul in head see pine head cut off make hunter very smart fellow put head in ground make crops grow they won't come after us unless we trouble them don't worry about it Dan get some sleep yeah apparently I don't have a thing to worry about Yolo routed us out and on the trail early the next morning I got so I could sense the path look around at the brush know where the footing was we made good time and by afternoon we could see the village ahead as we moved closer Yolo seemed somehow to become wary of his head snapped in all directions of the slightest sound but finally he led us into the clear flanked by huts on all sides what few natives we saw backed away and disappeared at the side of us and more frightened of us than we are them Dan smile must smile show more friendly over there hut my family we go there you go on tell them we're friends you'll know what to do what we do is much more important to smile now and don't panic in here this hut you go in hut or empty you go in come on Dan hope you know what you're doing they'll see we didn't come to harm them once they're sure of that they'll come back come on inside yeah just keep Yolo handy that's all don't worry about Yolo Yolo come back here look at that run out on us first chance against come back here you dirty fool Dan let him go he did his job I just calmed down what are you a brave man it's just that I've been through this kind of thing before natives always run fast they may steal back to take a look at you if you convince him you didn't come to destroy him you're all right well I think you're not well I'm not oh come on lie down take it easy I'll keep watch Dan we don't have a thing to worry about I didn't expect to sleep but I must have because when I open my eyes again it was dusk the brush was alive with sounds but there was another sound a rumble of voices out in the clearing voices it seemed to come closer to the hut Matthew stood in the doorway looking out you wake Dan yeah yeah some of the natives are coming back it's all right you stay inside I'll go out and meet them don't you let them in here all they won't come in just stay where you are and don't make it tough for us white man one big friend you see good good the white man no knife no gun one big friend want to meet chief meet chief the head fella make friends he stood there with blind faces as Matthew did his great white father act I took it as long as I could they ran but I just couldn't stop shoot him stop be a crazy fool stop it I got him out of here didn't I stop it I give me give me that gun stop what's the matter with you you hadn't done anything they wouldn't have hurt you you're nuts I told you I thought it was a lousy idea I didn't ask to come here you know give me back my god here you set us back days and weeks I suppose you're meant to but I've worked a long time to get ready for this trip you just blew it with a half a dozen bullets it should never been fired all right all right tell me all about it on the way back we're not going back we're not sitting here no we'll have to go on to the next village and hope we make it before the news of what you did reach is there no I know you're nuts if you're smart you'll clear out of here with Dan Dan now come on just settle down all right now we made a bad start we'll start over I'm going back get your story you can help me if you stay here I don't want to help you if you give it a real chance this could do a lot of good too Dan I've got to stay here I want to this book's important to me don't tell me what's good for me all right all right Dan have it your way go back I can't stop you that's right you know you know I I think you're right brother I think you've got to stay well that's one thing we agree on yeah yeah you know I'll sort of like thinking of you out here such a stinking place all right Dan you've made your point I think I'll check the supplies you never get that far miss a mat one fine head huh good lord Dan all right your book brother I felt good good because now all I all I had to hate was the idea of him my nerve hell and till I got to the part about his I I couldn't do it all night long I I tried to find a nerve but I couldn't by morning I picked him up hold him out of the brush it wasn't a sign of life I dug a grave crammed him into it pulled the thicket back over it would make a good story everyone would figure him for a hero's death and that's how he got his at the hands of headhunters two days later Matthew's weary brother bramble scratched and sick with grief stumbled into Cass's plantation and told the sad news old hero much have been horrible what's off you don't know how to take it easy son I know how you feel but it was his life he was doing what he believed in I want to go back I want to get a party and go back clean them all up to what they do I know but you won't I won't let you I tried to stop Matthew I've got to stop you so tired and you'll get rest a long rest then we'll talk about plan don't try to think now no that's not you think I can't I can't help him now anymore than I could help a man don't beat yourself son you did everything you could I thought Yolo was the answer but I guess Yolo he ran as soon as we hit the village and he didn't show up when the trouble started no no he headed back here like he was supposed I told him to stay in the background he was supposed to be there when you and Matthew needed him he isn't here he didn't come back may have reverted to type they do sometimes I thought I was giving my boys some protection I think I'll go lie down I feel sick oh sure son sir Cass Yolo Cass Yolo come back Yolo you promised to watch after them Yolo there Mr. Cass Yolo there all the time why you lie you're lying you're lying I saw you run no
