Introduction
 Well, I am reposting the first five chapters of The Race of Man after
making some minor changes.  Most of the changes involve simple grammar
corrections and some minor changes in the actual text.  The main change that
I made was to change the name of the main character from Paul to Aaron since
several of my readers felt that having two characters named Paul in the same
story was a little confusing.
 I have also added two new chapters to the end of the first five.  I hope
everyone enjoys them as much as the first three.  I do appreciate all of the
comments both positive and negative that you all have sent me.  I hope to
hear even more responses for the two new chapters.  As always, please direct
any praise or criticisms to me at infiniteinkz@yahoo.com.  I will respond to
all of them.  Tell me what you liked about the story so far, what you didn't
like about the story so far and what you might like to see happen.  I only
have one final chapter planned, but if anyone gives me some good ideas, who
knows.
 Legal stuff here, all of the characters, concepts, and such are my own
personal creations and are my sole property.  You have my permission to
archive this or any of my tales as long as you don't charge for the service
or alter the story in any way.  If you do archive it, I would appreciate
that you tell me where it is archived and include my email address with each
archive.
 Now all this said and done, read on and enjoy.

Chapter Six
Okay, as with April and Angela, I wasn't there for this part so once again I
am going to hand over the story telling reins to another member of my clan.
He claims that he could never write worth a damn and even bought term papers
during his brief stint in college, so I hope he can do a good enough job to
keep you entertained.  So here is Vargas.
Going to the dogs
Hey everybody, my name is Vargas Montoya.  I am 32 years old and originally
from Brazil even though my family immigrated to the US when I was nine.  I'm
not really much like the others you have met so far.  I don't have a degree
or a super brain with all kinds of shit in it.  I managed two semesters of
college before I dropped out and joined the Marines.  I served two six-year
tours and got the exalted rank of Gunnery Sergeant before I mustered out
about a year ago.  Thanks to some of the contacts that I had made during my
service, I scored this high paying gig working as a security expert with the
research team at the ice station.  It was a cushy job since none of these
egg heads ever caused any trouble and the nearest other people were hundreds
of miles away.  I spent more time carrying crap and taking care of the work
dogs than I did actually securing anything.  Still I was being paid more in
the six months I had signed on for than I had made during either of my tours
of duty, so I wasn't complaining.  I have been told that I am very easy too
look at.  I have brown eyes and a body that the corps spent twelve years
trying to make perfect.  I have lots of muscles and the six pack that most
body builders only dream about.  So needless to say, I never had any trouble
getting some ass until I took the job here.
Most Latinos will tell you that we are a highly sexed people and there's a
lot of truth to that.  There's a reason why we usually have large families.
So even when I was deployed to different places around the globe, I always
managed to get me some at least two or three times a week.  So you can
imagine how horny I was when all this shit started.  I was two months into
my six-month stint and hadn't gotten any unless you count my hand.  After we
had locked up Langdon, Paul came and asked me what had happened.  While we
were talking, I was shocked as hell to find out that I was getting stoked
just by standing next to him.  My cock was so hard that I thought it was
going to pop.  Now this really freaked me out because I had never gotten the
hots for a guy before.  Hell, I had plenty of offers from my fellow soldiers
during long lonely tours of duty and I had never been tempted to try it.  I
ain't got nothing against it, just isn't my style.  Still, if he hadn't left
when he did, I would have probably been suggesting something that would have
gotten me punched in the face.
Langdon had finally calmed down and seemed to have fallen asleep so I
decided it was safe to leave him for a while and stretch my legs.  We had
him locked up pretty tight and there was no way for him to open the door
from the inside because I had removed the handles and fixed the lock so that
it could only be opened from the outside.  Superman might have been able to
get out of there, but there was no way Langdon could.  I wandered down to
the dining hall to get some coffee.  This took me past the shower room and
even through the door; I could hear the sounds of someone being royally
fucked.  This did nada to decrease my horniness since it seemed to me that
everyone on the base was getting some ass except me.  To make things worse,
the same damned smell that I had smelled when Aaron was talking to me was
pretty much everywhere.  It was even thicker than it had been before and
just smelling it was making me hornier and hornier.
After I filled my mug with stale coffee, I decided to check on the dogs.
The station had three wolf/husky mix dogs that were used to pull sleds for
equipment when the temperature got too cold for the diesels on the
snowmobiles to work right.  They didn't see much use since most times we
just stayed inside when it got that cold.  It was one of my duties to keep
them fed, exercised and happy.  I didn't mind too much because I had always
liked dogs and it gave me something to do.  Their "pen" was an unused
storeroom in the back of Hut 2, which also served as our garage and machine
shop.  I left Hut 1 and walked through the connecting tunnel.  When I did
this, the smell seemed to get a little bit fainter, but not a lot.  Since
all of the domes were serviced by the same air system, this told me that the
filters probably needed cleaning again, which I would have to do as soon as
the storm cleared.
When I got to the pen, I was greeted by happy barks and tail wags.  Now the
three brutes we had would never win dog shows for beauty, but that really
didn't matter up here.  Bear was the leader of the little pack and the
biggest dog I had ever seen.  He stood about three feet at his shoulders and
probably weighed as much as a good-sized man.  He was covered in solid white
fur except for the tip of his tail, which was gray.  When I stepped inside
and closed the door, he trotted up to me and started nosing in my pockets
for the treats that I usually bring with me.  Since this had been an
unplanned trip, I didn't have any, but I gave his massive head a scratch
anyways.  Even though there were no treats inside my pant's pocket, he kept
nosing around in there any way and started making a kind of low growling
noise in his chest.  I had worked with these dogs long enough to know that
he wasn't threatening me, so I just ignored him.
Charlie was almost as big as Bear, but colored coal black.  He was also the
friendliest of the three and had never really outgrown his puppy stage.  He
came over and sidled up beside me with an eager whine.  I reached down to
pet him with the other hand.  Just then, Bear shoved his entire snout into
my pocket and jammed it hard against my cock.  Madre De Dios!  I almost
collapsed to the floor from the way it felt.  I pushed his head away and it
took almost all of my strength to do it.  Bear sat back on his haunches with
his tongue hanging out and a puzzled look on his face.  That was when I
noticed that he was sporting a hard on that would have made any man envious.
I didn't know why I suddenly found it so interesting.  I felt hypnotized by
the way it was shoved out of his hairy sheath.  I seemed drawn to the dull
red tip that was already dripping some liquid.  My own cock was harder than
ever and I could feel it oozing in my pants.  (For the record here, I never
wear underwear.  I always like the feel of everything hanging down free.)  A
quick look at Charlie at my side showed me that he had a hard on too.  It
wasn't as big as Bear's but it was still very hard and dripping.  I decided
to beat a hasty retreat and try to figure all of this out later.  That was
when Charlie grabbed onto my belt and yanked as hard as he could.
Now I was already off balance, squatting down to pet the dogs so Charlie's
pull sent me tumbling backwards onto the floor.  I hit pretty hard and saw
stars.  When I came to my senses, Bear was back at my crotch, nuzzling me
again.  Charlie had placed his paws on my shoulders, which kept me from
getting the leverage I needed to sit up.  The last dog, Elvis (White with
black spots, in case you were interested.) was sitting off to one side
watching us.  His cock was just as hard as the others were but he seemed to
be content for the moment just to watch.  I didn't know what the fuck was
going on, but I knew that I had to get up and away from these loco dogs.
When I started to struggle, Bear closed his mouth over my crotch and growled
loudly.
This had a mixed effect on me, believe it or not.  The feel of his teeth on
my dick and balls and the loud growl scared me because I knew that, if he
wanted to, Bear could rip out my crotch and have it for breakfast.  It also
felt incredible.  The pressure on my cock and the vibrations from the growl
almost made me faint like a little schoolgirl getting her first kiss.  I
stopped struggling and Bear released my jewels.  A second later, he grabbed
onto my belt and waistband and tugged as hard as he could.  I was shocked to
feel the leather belt and the khaki fabric part like tissue paper.  I had
never realized just how strong these dogs were.  Seconds later I was naked
from the waist down except for my boots and socks.  A second after that,
Bear started licking my cock.
 Now I am no big thinker and I was already confused by all that was going on
so I wasn't thinking very clearly, so the moment that dog's tongue hit my
cock I was gone like tequila at a fiesta.  It felt so fucking good and I was
so fucking hot that I didn't give a damn that it was a dog licking my cock.
I just spread my legs like a cheap whore to give the beast more room to
work.  Bear seemed to really like this because he crawled between my legs
and really started licking.  Every time he dragged that huge tongue up my
cock shaft, I just groaned and jerked my hips for more.
 Once he was done licking my cock, Bear started in on my balls.  He opened
his mouth as wide as he could and took both of them inside.  He started
licking them while he was holding them inside his mouth.  It felt so damned
good.  His mouth was hotter than any woman's I had ever had was and he kept
"chewing" on my nuts while he was licking me.  I couldn't take it any more
and came like never before.  I must have spewed gallons of cum all over my
chest as I pumped out load after load.  Of course, this got Charlie's
attention.  He leaned down and started licking the stuff off me.  First, he
cleaned off my chest and then went to work on my cock, which was slimy as
hell.  Between him licking my cock and Bear still working on my balls, I
didn't even start to go soft.
 I was doing my best to think and try to figure out what was going on, but
it wasn't doing much good.  The dogs seemed much smarter than they had ever
been before and I wasn't really dumber, but I was really having a lot of
trouble thinking straight.  Like any Latino male, I have been accused of
thinking with my cock, but today it seemed like my little head was
definitely doing all of the thinking.  I could smell that damned smell
again, but it was a like a million times more powerful than before.  Even
though I knew something funky was going on, I just didn't care.  When Bear
stopped sucking on my sack and shoved his tongue up my ass, I just spread my
legs wider and raised my hips up to meet him.
 I'm pretty sure that I howled just like a dog myself when I felt his thick
hot tongue slide into my ass.  I know I was squirming around and panting
like a bitch in heat when Charlie started licking my cock and balls.  When I
felt something hot and sticky dripping onto my face, I wasn't the least bit
surprised to see Charlie's cock hanging directly over my face.  He had
stopped trying to hold me down and had moved forward to get better access to
my crotch.  His thick slab of meat was right over me and as horny as I was,
it looked delicious.  Like a thick juicy steak and I felt like I hadn't
eaten in weeks.  From the way he yelped, I don't know who was more surprised
when I leaned up and licked it.
 Charlie's cock had a thick, slightly slimy feel to it and had a really gamy
taste to it kind of like really old beef jerky, but I didn't care.  He was
sucking on me so the least I could do was return the favor.  I leaned up
some more and turned my head to one side.  This let me take his cock tip
into my mouth.  This really made him happy and he shoved almost two inches
in with one thrust.  I sucked as hard as I could while I reached up with one
hand to play with his balls and the other to stroke the part of his cock
that I couldn't reach with my mouth.  The pungent smell and taste were
driving me insane with lust so I sucked harder.
 I must have sucked him for a half hour while Bear kept doing his best to
shove his entire head up my ass before I felt his balls began to get really
tight.  I watched in pure heat as his knot came sliding out of his sheath.
The hand that I was using to stroke him reached out and cupped that massive
ball of flesh and rubbed it hard.  Charlie howled loudly and shoved another
two inches of cock into my mouth.  I felt his cock swell up and then I was
being drowned in dog cum.  I was in shock at how much there was of it.
I had once entertained the foolish idea once that I wanted to be a
veterinarian when I grew up so when I was in my early teens, I read pretty
much everything I could about animals and how their bodies worked.  I knew
that dogs actually produce very small amounts of cum each time they orgasm.
This is why they have the knots.  The knot locks them together with the
bitch so that they can keep pumping cum into her for a very long time.
Charlie was filling my mouth with more cum than I usually shoot when I jack
off and it tasted incredible.  I took every drop and kept trying to suck
more out of him until he finally pulled away from me and stepped back
several feet.  He was still rock hard, but seemed to be satisfied for the
moment.
Meanwhile, Bear finally get tired of licking out my intestines and pulled
his tongue out.  The break in the mind numbing pleasure I was feeling kind
of helped clear my head.  I realized just how fucked up what was happening
was.  I licked my lips and tasted dog cum on them.  Part of me wanted to
throw up at the taste, but a part of me didn't care.  I decided that the
best thing for me to do was to get the hell out of there and figure out what
had happened later.  I didn't trust my balance enough to get up the way I
was so I rolled over onto my hands and knees to make it easier to get up.
Big mistake on my part, after all they don't call it the "Doggy style"
position for nothing.
The second I was kneeling Bear leaped forward and tackled me.  He wrapped
his fore paws around my waist and jammed his rear paws between my legs to
keep me from getting up.  I started cursing at him in Spanish, Arabic and
even some Chinese that I had picked up from an old girl friend, but then he
jammed his cock head into my asshole and the cursing stopped.  Man, if his
tongue had felt incredible, the feeling of his cock head sliding into my ass
was heavenly.  I could feel his cock spilling his juices into my ass and
also some sort of weird wetness coming up my ass to meet his cock.  It felt
kind of like when you have the runs and everything comes out, but much
nicer.  I could feel every single inch of his cock as it slid into me and I
wanted more.  I kind of waggled my hips like I had seen female dogs do to
encourage him.
It worked better than I could have imagined.  Bear barked loudly and shoved
his hips forward hard!  Before I could even blink, he had jammed all seven
inches of his meat into my asshole and I could feel his knot knocking at my
back door.  I was panting just as loudly as he was and my cock felt like it
was going to explode again.  I could feel something really incredible inside
of me and wondered if I was feeling what a woman felt when she was about to
cum.  Just when I was thinking that it couldn't get any better, I felt Bear'
s cock twist inside of my ass.  It was like my ass muscles suddenly grabbed
his shaft and moved it.  I felt his cock tip slide up and any kind of
thoughts I had were wiped away.  Suddenly, I was nothing more than a bitch
that needed breeding.
Bear seemed to agree with me because he started yelping and pushing harder
and hard into me.  I felt his knot press against my sphincter and then shove
it open hard.  It should have hurt because the damned thing was as big as my
fist, but all I felt was pleasure and satisfaction.  He kept pumping harder
and harder, driving the knot deeper as his cock slid further into me.  This
had to go on for an hour before he stopped shoving and locked his legs.  I
felt something thick and slick being pumped into me and that sent me off on
the first orgasm that I have ever had without someone touching my cock.  I
shook like I was having a malaria attack and came all over the floor.  I
must have cum for a good three minutes, even though my balls were drained in
ten seconds.
I don't know how long it took for Bear to finish and shrink down enough to
slip out of me.  He got down from my back and walked over to stand beside
me.  I swear that he was smiling at me as I crouched there on the floor
panting.   I was just about to try to get up again when Bear looked over my
shoulders and barked loudly.  I wasn't sure what was going on until I felt
Elvis jump up on my back.  I was too weak to even try to resist as he jammed
his cock inside of me.  I saw Charlie sitting off to one side with his own
massive erection and remembered how I used to watch as the neighborhood dogs
would take turns with a bitch in heat for hours and hours.  I looked over
and saw that Bear's cock was already getting hard again and realized that
was what was happening here.  As my mind gave out to the powerful fucking, I
prayed to God that it would last forever.
Chapter seven
Escape Overture in two parts
Part One
Okay back to me for the moment.  When I finally came too after the three way
with Barry and Paul, I felt like I had slept for hours.  My watch told me
that I had only been asleep for about an hour or so, but I felt completely
rested and reenergized.   I was still horny as hell, but decided that this
seemed to be the natural state for whatever was happening to us.  Once again
I was struck by the severe lack of embarrassment or regret for what I had
done.  I had cheated on the woman who would bear my child and practically
raped Paul.  I should have been feeling at least a little shame or regret,
but I wasn't.  Part of it was the strange new hormones coursing through our
bodies, but I sensed that something fundamental was changing in our very
mindset.  I had no idea where this journey was taking us, but it was
definitely changing us even though I was not sure if it was for the better.
I disengaged myself from my two lovers and smiled at the way Paul was still
clutching Barry's cock possessively.  They hardly even stirred as I got
dressed again and left the room, closing the door again behind me.  I
started back to April's room to see how she was doing and to check on
Angela, but stopped when I realized that the door to the room where Langdon
had been locked up was standing wide open and there was no sign of Vargas.
After knocking on April's door and telling her to keep the door shut and
locked just in case Langdon was still dangerous, I set out to find Vargas.
This wasn't easy because the base was pretty large and currently only held
seven people.  Since two were asleep in the shower room and two were hiding
in April's room, I didn't have a lot of help in my search.  (For the record,
there are two other members of the research team, but they left with the
Professor for some leave in McMurdo so the place was pretty deserted.)
After searching all of the residential dome and the dome where we kept the
lab equipment for both teams, I checked the storage dome.  To say I was
surprised to find Vargas on the floor of the dome naked would be an
understatement.  To say I was shocked to find him being screwed up the ass
by a dog the size of my motorcycle back home would be the understatement of
the millennia.  From the way two other dogs were lying around asleep with
contented looks on their fuzzy faces, I judged that all of this had been
going on for a while.  I was just about to try and pull him off of Vargas
when it hit me.  The musk was overpowering here, much more powerful than it
had been with any of the other situations.  It was like all of the O2
molecules in the air had been replaced by the musk, but somehow you could
still breath.  My hardon, which had never really gone down, sprang back to
full erection and then some.
When I approached the dog and Vargas, the mutt looked up at me and whined,
but I just glared at him.  I was already unzipping my pants when he kind of
dipped his head down and dropped his tail below his legs.  He backed off of
Vargas and climbed down.  His cock made a loud popping noise as it slid out
and more cum than I had ever imagined started oozing out of Vargas' asshole.
These dogs had been obviously fucking him for a while and from the look on
his face, he had been loving it the entire time.
Almost without thinking, I dropped down to my knees behind Vargas and
grabbed onto his ass.  Had I been thinking clearly, I would have been
shocked and even grossed out by what had happened and what I was about to
do.  But with my mind fogged by the massive amount of musk in the air, I
just shoved myself balls deep inside of his slimy ass and started fucking.
Vargas could obviously tell that I wasn't one of his canine lovers because
he seemed to come to his senses.  He straightened up and glanced behind at
me.  I could see the questions in his eyes, but I didn't care.  I slid my
cock out about half way and then shoved it back in again.  This made him
close his eyes and groan.
God, he felt good.  His ass was white hot and slicker than oil.  I could
feel the dog cum oozing around my shaft as I slid in and out.  Vargas was
panting so hard that I was afraid that he was going to hyperventilate and I
wasn't much better off.  My balls were slapping his ass cheeks and I could
feel his ass muscles gripping and guiding my cock as it went.  I was only a
little surprised when I felt them grip me tightly and shove my cock head
upwards.  Just like with Paul, I slid into a place that shouldn't exist and
just like with Paul, it felt like pure heaven.  My cock almost seem to
lengthen so it slid even deeper.  When this happened, I truly lost it.
I started pounding into Vargas as hard as I could, making him moan louder
and louder.  As I screwed him, I happened to look over at the dogs and was
amazed at what I saw.  The smallest of the animals was crouched down on the
floor and the biggest of the brutes had mounted him.  I was shocked to see
that the bigger one was shoving one of the biggest cocks I had ever seen
into the other dog's ass.  Now I know that certain animals do practice what
we would consider homosexual relations mainly because most male animals are
always ready for sex and females are only ready during heat.  Dogs,
gorillas, chimps and many others hump each other and anything else they can
get their paws on, but I had never seen two male animals actually screwing,
but the biggest one was definitely sliding his cock in and out of the other
dog's ass.  Even more amazing was the fact that the other dog was loving it.
This made me even hotter and I could feel the cum boiling in my balls.  I
wanted Vargas to cum with me so I did something that his doggy lovers couldn
't do.  I reached around and started pumping his cock with my hand while I
screwed him as hard as I could.  This made him buck and moan.  He started
fucking back against me harder and harder.  He started whining almost like
the dogs over beside us as I started filling him with even more cum.  He
started spewing all over my hand and the floor.  I could feel it, as my cock
head seemed to expand and plug the entrance to the new place.
When I recovered from my orgasm, I pulled very gently out of Vargas and sat
down hard on the floor.   Vargas slumped forward and slowly rolled over onto
his back.  I could tell that his pleasure drunk mind was starting to fade
because he actually looked aware of his surroundings again.  I glanced over
at the dogs and saw that they had finished too.  The two smaller ones were
lying on their sides with cum leaking out of them.  The bigger one was
sitting to one side watching us with what seemed to be a highly intelligent
expression on his fuzzy face.
Once our orgasms had faded both Vargas and I seem to come to our senses.
The musk was still in the air, but it didn't seem to have a great a hold on
us as it had before.  Vargas rolled over onto his side and stared at me
intently like he was trying to figure out what had happened.  I was watching
his eyes looking for any signs of anger or aggression for what we had done,
but there was nothing there but curiosity.  "So, Amigo.  Do you want tell me
what the fuck is going on here?"
I took a chance and gave him the Reader's Digest version of what I knew and
what I thought was happening.  It actually felt good to finally tell someone
what was going on.  He listened to everything without saying a word, then
shrugged.  "My parents would make some smart ass comment about water and
bridges.  You didn't know what was going on until it was probably too late
to do anything about it so no fault on you.  We have got something more
important to worry about.  If Langdon is lose, no telling what sort of
trouble he might cause."
I agreed and gave silent thanks to God that Vargas had a good head on his
shoulders.  We did a complete search of the base, but found no sign of him.
We were at a loss until we decided to check and see if he was hiding in the
Snow Cat.  When we opened the door that led to it, we were blasted with
ice-cold winds.  The temporary tunnel between the building and the cat was
torn to shreds and the massive snow vehicle was gone.  We now knew how he
had gotten away from the base.
"Dios!  Now I wish we hadn't keep that damned thing idling all this time.
The engine would have frozen up and there would have been no way he could
have cranked it without days of thawing."  For those who don't know and as I
found out, diesel engines are very vulnerable to freezing temperatures.  To
keep them from freezing up completely, they have to be kept at a low idle so
that the heat of the engine can keep the fuel from freezing.  I had known
that the engine on the cat was still going, but hadn't realized why until
Vargas explained it to me.  "He must be headed for McMurdo, but why?"
I remembered what I had found and snapped my fingers.  "His wife is supposed
to be there.  They were going to get together during his leave.  He must be
trying to get to her."
"How bad will it be if he gets around other people?"
"Worse case scenario is that we could be looking at a world wide Pandemic.
It takes a while for the symptoms to manifest themselves and even longer for
any physiological changes to occur.  If we don't find some way to stop him
and at least isolate him, then people could become infected, leave McMurdo
and spread the changes to the entire world."
"Okay, that definitely counts as bad," Vargas said.  He pondered for a
second, and then motioned for me to follow him back to the dog's dome.  He
approached several objects covered with heavy tarps and pulled the tarp off.
Underneath were four very large snowmobiles, complete with helmets.
"You are insane.  It is below zero outside and the visibility is next to
nothing.  There is no way in hell we can make it through all of that to
McMurdo."
"Hey Amigo, if we want to stop Langdon from turning into the next Typhoid
Mary, then we have to do some."  Vargas shrugged.  "Hey, they are gasoline
powered, can go over 80 miles an hour and they have enough range to get us
there at least with a little luck.  Our only other option is to hope that
Langdon doesn't make it to the town."
I nodded and we split up to get the gear we would need.  Vargas had a spare
suit that he said he would loan me that had heating elements that could be
plugged into the mobile's electrical system so I went back to my lab to pick
up my palm top that also had a satellite GPS built into it.  It should allow
us to plot a relatively straight course to McMurdo, if we didn't fall into a
ravine or get blown away by high winds.  Then I stopped by April's room to
check on her and Angela.
When I knocked on the door, April stepped out clad only in a smile and
sandals.  I had seen the look on her face enough times to know what she had
been doing.  The words "freshly fucked" came to mind.  I ached to ask her
what was going on, but realized that I didn't have the time.  I quickly
informed her of what Vargas and I planned to do.  I didn't want to worry her
so I just told her that Langdon had flipped out and stolen the cat.  She
seemed to buy the story that Vargas and I were simply going out to try and
rescue him.  She also seemed to want to tell me something, but couldn't seem
to find the words.   I gave her a passionate kiss and told her that we would
be back as soon as we could.
I got into the suit that Vargas gave me, feeling like a small child wearing
their parent's clothes.  Vargas and I were close to the same size, but he
was much more buff than me so the damned thing fit very loosely.  After
that, it took us nearly an hour to fuel up the mobiles and drag them
outside.  As Vargas gave me a quick course in driving the things, I did
notice that the storm seemed to be lessening.  The winds were much calmer
than they had been just an hour ago and I imagined that it also seemed a
little warmer.  This gave me some hope that we were going to make it to our
destination alive, but it also worried me because Langdon would have a much
easier time too.
"Hokay, Aaron," Vargas said as he mounted up.  "If you know any prayers or
have any favors that Dios owes you, now might be a good time to cash them
in."  He pointed to the fuel cans strapped to the back of the snowmobiles.
"If I figured it right, we got just enough gas to make it there with a
little bit of margin for error.  If we fuck up or miss, we are going to be
