Bab 269: Nineteen

Few minutes past and a chopper came whirling around the bridge. It landed near the edge where Darryl and his accompany were waiting patiently. Darryl who was in hurry tried to carry Baruk Tam in his arms yet Suma stopped him. His big bare hands dug into Darryl's arms as if warning him not to touch the boy. Maru who saw what Suma did, talked to him in their native language asking him to let loose.

Suma knew what a chopper was for. Since he was a Gunta he usually sees choppers hovering above their island and during one voyage to the mainland, Aki Owens once told them what choppers were for. It was some sort of transportation and so Suma was a little doubtful about the idea of leaving the bridge since he doesn't know where they were heading.
