As Illya Kuryakin slid down the steep hillside in a desperate attempt to lose the
THRUSH agents who had spotted his spying device a few moments ago, he saw
at the bottom of the hill a smooth and inviting open green space. Scrambling
with heels and elbows as he slid, he steered for it, his whole body braced for the
impact of stopping.
Suddenly, as he shot out over the fast ridge and into the air, he seemed to
notice something ominously suspicious about that smooth greenness. He twisted
in mid-air and spreadeagled himself—and fell with a great slap into slimy green
ooze! It was a bog—quicksand!
And above him, as the ooze crept up to his mouth, he faintly heard a voice
say, “No need to worry further about him—no one has ever come back alive
from there!”
