Ben

When Ben woke after another disturbing dream about his family in trouble, Nate had several full-sized maps laid out on the tarp along with the printouts Robert gave them.

Ben sat up and turned around when he heard something in the trees behind them.

“I heard it too,” Nate whispered as he slowly got up, scanning the trees.

They could hear sniffing and some grunts while the brush shook and parted to reveal a large black bear.

Ben scrambled back until he could get on his feet. Nate froze when he saw it.

“Either look big and scary or move so he doesn’t head straight for you.” Ben made sure he faced the bear as he took a few steps to reach for Nate. He pulled his friend closer to the trailer.

The bear looked at them but it was more interested in the Ranger as it waddled over the maps on its way to the trailer.

Ben’s head was throbbing but he had to ignore it as he struggled to stay on his feet while everything started to spin. That’s when the bear paused. Ben grabbed Nate’s sleeve and pulled him closer. “Make yourself big, Come on.” Ben raised his arms in the air and growled as loud as he could. He was about to shove Nate behind him when he finally did the same.

The bear startled and backed up a step before he looked like he was unbothered and curiosity had taken over again as he stalked their ride.

Ben clung onto Nate when he felt unsteady and prodded him to head for the front of the Ranger. They did it again, waved their arms high in the air and roared.

The bear was wary as he circled away from them and headed back to their vehicle.

“I bet it can smell the food.” Nate was cautious as he slowly headed for the backseat to look for something.

Ben knew he was pushing his luck trying to scare the bear off on his own with the same move. It obviously wasn’t concerned in the least. There was a toolbox in the trailer. He inched his way closer, still trying to appear menacing so he could get to the box. Nate couldn’t find whatever he was looking for. Ben pulled out a large crescent wrench and banged on the side of the trailer before trying to look big again.

The bear paused and took a step back before calling his bluff. It lunged for him, undeterred by the frantic clanging.

He looked for his gun but he didn’t have it on him. Nate must have taken it after they crashed.

A stream of spray blasted past him and hit the bear’s face. It also instantly made Ben’s eyes and nose water. That did the trick, though. The bear groaned as it turned and ran off. Ben couldn’t see a thing as he yelled at the bear and kept beating the trailer to make sure it kept going.

He desperately needed to find something to clean his eyes. The air was full of the awful spray, even burning his nostrils and his throat which made him cough like crazy.
