Delta-Victor (18 page)

I'm dying. Mafuso reckons there is nothing he can do. Not that he told me that. He insisted I was fine and healing nicely. I overheard the conversation with Amilek and when I confronted him, he didn't deny it. The infection is too deep, it's beyond his medical knowledge and we'll never get rescued in time. I've always known I'd never recover from this. That's why I'm not leaving Agrihan. I'll go with the others to the base and then come back here to the village and spend my last few days on our island in the sun. It's for the best.
Jim, when you eventually read this, forgive me. I didn't want you to know, because I hate goodbyes. I love you, I always have. Tell Stace I love her too. Take care of her. And tell Mumâ¦
Tell her I love her and I'm sorry.
