Five days later, night fell on the Colombia-Venezuela border, up north.
An off-road vehicle was driving in the twilight toward Ocaina.
Ocaina was located at the northern end of the Tbilisi Mountain Range, a stronghold controlled by the ELN armed forces.
Soon, the off-road vehicle reached the foothills and stopped by a forest.
The driver hadn't even gotten out when a dozen dark figures suddenly appeared.
A dozen gun barrels pointed simultaneously at the vehicle.
The driver got out of the car and shouted toward the shadows, "It's me, Josie!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the figures lowered their guns.
The leader emerged from the darkness, wearing a camouflage suit in the moonlight, with a homemade camouflage hat woven from plant leaves and vines around his bunny hat.
"Where's the guest?"
The leader asked the driver.
The driver turned toward his car.
At this moment, the rear door opened, and Song Heping appeared before everyone.
