“So where were you two coming from this morning?” Malena asked with accusing eyes. She wiggled her eyebrows as she waited for the answer.

Charlee groaned. She would have preferred someone else to catch them when they came back to the camp. Malena claimed she had woken up early to go pee and didn’t see Charlee or West. Once everyone woke up, Charlee had tried to avoid her friend, but Malena was not having any of it.

This morning, they had finally picked up the trail of Bubo. His tracks were actually leading them back down the mountain. West and Luka had gone farther, requesting the team to set up and be ready. Charlee had her rifle in her hand as she waited.

“Malena, leave it alone. I told you he showed me a spring where I could get washed up.”

“Uh-huh, and he didn’t show anyone else. We all could have taken turns washing some of this rainforest dirt off. I swear, I’m so dirty that even the mosquitos don’t want me.”

Charlee rolled her eyes at her friend’s dramatics. She glanced around the area, knowing that her friend would never let up. The guys were spread out, waiting for a sighting of the male tiger.

“Okay, if you must know…” She paused to create her own dramatics.

Malena’s eyes grew round as she waited. Instead of verbalizing what she and West did at the spring, Charlee held up two fingers, symbolizing the second time that she and West had sex. But she didn’t want to just call it sex. Something was exchanged between the two of them. It was even more than lovemaking, but she wouldn’t tell Malena that. She wouldn’t understand. She’d think that Charlee was a little touched in the head.

“We have movement.” A low voice came across the small walkie-talkie.

Malena and Charlee both drew quiet as Charlee raised her rifle and stared out through the lens to wait, scanning the brush lower down on the mountain. From her perch, she had a perfect view of the mountain. A large tiger slowly ambled from out of the brush. It walked slowly, pausing every few steps, as if it sensed it was being watched. Charlee took aim and held her breath, willing her heart rate to slow. The tiger paused in walking and looked at something in the brush a hundred feet from him.

West.

It turned toward the noise, giving Charlee exactly what she needed. She pulled the trigger.
