The following morning when we came upon a small lake, we hid behind some trees and looked around for any movement.

A log cabin stood on the other side with a long dock running out from the front with a boat tied to the end. I eyed the lake with longing, to just jump in and wash some of this grime off me. I would give anything to feel clean again. I could smell José a mile away, so I was sure he could smell me. I raised my brow as I glanced over at Daniel. He looked the same as when I first saw him. How did he stay so clean? He didn’t even smell. I was seriously in need to put on some fresh clothes and get out of these jeans. Coupled with that, I could feel the stickiness between my legs. Without a word, the three of us--Oreo included--sat down and watched for movement. When my leg began to cramp, I stood up.

“Listen guys, I don’t see anyone around. If we’re real quiet, we can each take turns and watch out for one another. I’ll go first,” I said, not giving either of them any choice in the matter. I crouched low and half-slid, half-crawled down the embankment. When I reached the water’s edge, I looked back up to see if the boys could see me.

I rinsed out my dirty clothes then made my way back up the embankment. I could hang them out the next time we stopped for any length of time.

“Who’s next?” I asked, coming into the clearing relaxed and fresh.

José went first and took longer than I did, making me want to chide him about never saying how long it took girls in the bathroom again for the rest of his life. After he had returned, Daniel went down, but I got the strong impression that he was only doing it for show. In less than five minutes, he returned...looking almost the same, the only difference was he had at least bothered to get his hair wet.

I shot him a curious look to which he only smiled in return, saying nothing.

We traveled at night and rested during the hottest part of the day. I was a little frightened at first, but soon became used to the quiet of the dark. I found that I could walk much faster with my new
