"Dive! Dive! Dive!" Buck roared, throwing off his seatbelt and both over-the-shoulder harnesses before vaulting over the center console and racing to the back of the modified jet. Shoving his arms into the straps of his parachute, he slid open the side door and grabbed ahold of the handle.

“Closer,” he snapped, waiting until the bottom of the plane brushed the treetops before bellowing, “I’m out! See ya on the ground!”

Knowing Dusty had his back, without waiting for a response, Buck jumped from the plane. They didn’t need words. They’d been in stickier situations. That Rhode Island red would do what she had to do to keep them all alive.

“Just like you’re gonna do,” Harry barked. “Can’t you fall any faster? That son of a bitch knows the terrain. We’re gonna lose him. When did you start falling like an old lady?”

“How about I let you handle this, General Jerkoff?”

No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the honey badger with whom he shared his soul forced the shift. One minute, Buck was watching his unconscious mate being carried through the Brazilian jungle, thrown over the shoulder of the freakiest-looking dinosaur nobody in the swamp would ever believe existed, and the next, his perspective was that of a passenger in Harry's mind.

“What the…?”

“Be careful what you wish for,” the honey badger spat. “You know you don’t have to ask me twice, butthead. I have control issues that there just ain’t no cure for.”

“Yeah, okay, just don’t hit that tree,” Buck quipped, trying hard not to laugh out loud. “I’d hate to have to tell everybody you got a bump on your noggin’ while playing George of the Jungle in the jungle.”

“Shut up,” Harry growled. “Nobody likes a back-of-the-mind paratrooper.”

Laughing despite the situation, happier than he would ever admit to his alter ego to being in the seven-foot, fur-covered body of the roughest, toughest honey badger the world had ever known, Buck focused on Freddie.

Letting his eyes slide closed, Blackthorne followed the glowing stream of light, the precious gossamer strand of magic that joined his soul to his mate's. He wouldn't let her get away. There was no way in hell the fucker who had her would be allowed to hurt her.

"Holy crap, Buck, you see that shit?” Harry snarled. “That bastard’s headin’ underground.”

Pulling the cord in his left paw, disconnecting the shoot from the line, Harry barked, “Hold on to your ass, son. The landing’s gonna be bumpy,” at precisely the same time that Buck screamed, “We’re too high!”

Holding his breath, the sound of Harry's face taking a severe beating from tree branches, stalks of bamboo, and vines thicker than his forearms, Buck refused to lose sight of Freddie. “Twist your hips to the left and your shoulders to the right,” he yelled. “It’ll turn us out of these fucking vines and away from the fangs of that snake right there.”

“What snake?” Harry yelled before immediately roaring, “Son of a bitch, that’s a big fuckin’ snaaaaaaaaaaaake!”

Laughing out loud, knowing
