Chapter Ten

“It’s going to be fine, Patterson,” Nolan said. “Tyler can handle himself, trust me. Try to stop worrying. It won’t help anything.”

Tim hated when people said shit like that, ‘Worrying won’t help anything.’ Well duh, did they think he didn’t know that? Tim’s life didn’t used to involve much worrying, so when he did get anxious there was usually a damn good reason. Like the fact that the first man he had real feelings for in years was about to go out all brave and cocksure into the forest to try hunting down something potentially dangerous. Something not from this world. So yeah, that made Tim fucking nervous.

Why couldn’t he have fallen for some nice, safe village dude? Someone with a boring job who got their car serviced every three thousand miles and called themselves a ‘foodie’ because they put spinach in their omelet. Someone who wouldn’t leave Tim’s stomach in knots for a dozen different reasons all at the same time.

He tried to distract himself with other thoughts, but only came up with other fears. “Are you sure there aren’t any hidden cameras in here? They took my jacket. One of them was in here after all.”

“I’m sure,” Nolan said patiently, even though it was the third time Tim had asked. “Brett did a full sweep. Station’s clear. Try to relax.”

The sun was beginning to set, and he was back up on the mountain, standing inside the ranger station with Brett and Nolan, who both appeared infuriatingly calm as they got themselves and the equipment prepped. Tim felt like an insane idiot for even being up here again now that he’d seen his six-legged stalker. But he wasn’t given much of a choice. The moment that gator-worm tagged him with a hidden camera, Tim’s status had officially been upgraded to bait.

The plan was ‘simple’ according to Nolan. Tim would hang out inside the station for his shift, with Nolan there so he wouldn’t be alone. Brett and Tyler would be leaving shortly via the mountain road, making sure they were in plain sight when they did. Tyler was currently outside checking the monitoring equipment, and Tim was already worried sick about him. Because after their faux exit down to the road, Tyler and Brett would double-back via the forest trail and try catching the gator-worms off-guard.

The idea was that the creatures would hopefully—Nolan had actually used that word, hopefully—decide to come around the station for a bit of good old Tim-watching. Tim knew he was the chickenshit of the group, but he really, really did not like this plan.

“You’re bigger than Tyler though,” he said to Nolan. “Don’t you think you should be the one to go out hunting aliens with Brett while Tyler stays here with me?”

Nolan laughed. “If you think size matters it’s because you’ve never seen Tyler in action. The last thing I remember before passing out from blood-loss was Tyler jumping guns-blazing out of a hovering chopper. The hybrid who stabbed me was full of holes and dead before Tyler’s feet even hit the ground.
