Wonder if my throat would puff up into a red balloon? Dumb thing to do. Stupid. Donât want to cam ee lion or change colors.
âPeople and cats canât change color,â Boston says, reading my thoughts.
Bummer. Oh well, canât see any reason Iâd want to turn green and look like a leaf. Once I caught a lizard by slamming my paw down on its tail and when I reached down to bite his head, he dropped his tail and ran off. Stupid tail was wiggling back and forth under my paw. Boston told me they do that. Drop off their tails. Stupid. I wouldnât leave my tail behind.
Should I catch him? I wouldnât eat him. Those lizards, a nols, make me sick. They eat bugs. Yuk. I could jump up in the tree and get the stupid lizard. Too much effort. Not that bored and Iâm tired and this spot in the sun is fine for a short nap, so I curl up. Listen with one ear as Boston talks to Bob on her cell. âTwo people in the camper, one in the truck. Theyâre talking. By the camper. On a cell phone. Looks like they have omni directional booster antennas attached to the camper and truck. Oh, theyâre all getting into the truck. Wait. Theyâre driving toward us.â She holds her breath, a hand on me. âPast us. They drove past us, down to the shoreline. Parking. They are getting out. Looking over the water. Waiting?â
âStay where you are. Donât do anything. Iâm sending backup,â Bob says.
âNot going anywhere,â she mumbles. âWhatâs he think Iâm going to do?â She pulls out her color pencils and starts sketching.
I close my eyes for a nap, but before I can fall asleep, another truck, with a loud engine, pulls up and parks.
Kevlar along with Rangers Jackson and Rose walk by laughing loudly carrying fishing poles and head to the shoreline. Ignore us. Boston whispers that to Bob in her cell. She looks to me and adds, âIâd feel better with more law enforcement guys. On the plus side, maybe theyâll catch supper.â
Fish supper? My favorite.
A few minutes later, a squad car noses out from the trail behind the motel, hidden from the shoreline. A second car parks behind it. Two more Rangers, in long sleeve flowered shirts, walk to the shore with fishing poles, two stand by the vehicles.
âPine Island Rangers are on the main park road by the entrance to the campground,â Bob says on the cell. âAnd we have the road blocked at the bridge. If they get by the guys in the campground theyâre not going anywhere.â
âThe Rangers have them boxed in, surrounded. Smart,â Boston says. âBob must have decided theyâre going to try to pull the boat here, now, since itâs almost dark. Heâs pretty sure of himself. Hope they have contraband on board.â
Pack hunters. Humans acting like a pack. Didnât know they could do that. Dogs, well wolves, which are just big wild dogs, hunt in packs. Boston says wolves hunt buffalo.
