Disclaimer: Nope. We checked. (Twice.) Still don't own wild kratts. :/ but I'm keeping an eye out Just in Case...but Jordan is ours! :D

Jordan was really getting worried. He'd long since stopped trying to get out. He'd been sitting stuck forever and even though he had awhile before the sun set, the sun was slowly disappearing behind the dreary clouds that signaled bad weather. Not good, not good. If he got stuck in the bad weather at the bottom of this ditch...

Jordan's P.O.V

I didn't care who heard anymore. I needed help. The storms in the fall could get bad around here and even though I'm no weather guy, it didn't take a genius to know what those clouds meant. It was huge warning sign. I made up my minded.

"HELP!" I yelled as loud as I could.

*XX*

Martin trekked through the woods keeping an eye out for anything. So far, he'd found a lost arrow that more than likely belonged to the boy.

He might of been a young hunter and saw Chris as a real bear, Martin thought. Ever since he'd left the Tortuga, he'd been trying to find a reason why the boy would've shot at Chris.

As I crossed trough a small patch of wood lilies, I heard a shout. I froze right there and tried to tune into the sounds around me being as silent as possible. I listened hard.

"Help me!" the same voice came again.

Martin turned to his right where he thought the voice was coming from and took off in that direction. There was no question in who it was, and Martin was intent on meeting him and getting some answers. He happened to glance up and see all the warning signs the sky was giving. "I gotta hurry and find the kid..."

*XX*

Jordan's P.O.V

"HEY! Anyone out there?!" I called again from the bottom the ditch. No one answered. It was starting to get dark now, the clouds covering the whole sky as a freezing wind blew by, colder than usual. I started to worry. Was I ever going to be found? My ankle started to swell and it started hurting more than ever. I didn't want to, I mean, I'M A GUY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

But...with the worry, and the stress of what I had done, and the pain of my ankle, it was too much. Everything I had done and the situation I was in was all too much at once. Then, I thought about that man. What had I done?! I knew it was an accident, but still, I wondered. Was he even...alive anymore?! What if I was found? Would I be...TURNED IN?! It would be the end of me from my father's side! Eventually, my clouded brain can't think of any other solution. I broke down. I brought my knees closer to my chest, and hugged them, and started sobbing in them out of fear, sadness, and guilt.

"H-help..."

Martin's P.O.V

I searched and searched for the boy, but I just couldn't find him. Was I going the right way? Yeah, he went this way...right? Or am I going in completely the wrong direction?! Just when I was about to turn around and head back, I heard some kind of...human muffled sound. It sounded almost like...someone crying. Where was that coming from?

I looked and looked for the source of that sound, and it lead me to...a deep ditch.

"Hey, anyone down there?" I called. The sound immediately stopped. I knew I'd definitely found the source, and probably, the boy.

I looked over the edge. There he was. The boy from earlier. He looked almost afraid of me, mainly because he pushed himself as far away from me as he could, with wide eyes.

Jordan's P.O.V

The man in the blue shirt was back, and my heart started to pounded vigorously in my chest. Was he going to yell? Had he found out?! Was he gonna take me back to dad?!

"Here," he said, extending his arm in my direction, "Let me help you outta there."

I was hesitant. Did I really want him to take me out. My better judgment told my mind to suck up, and take his hand. He carefully pulled me out. He must've noticed the swelling on my ankle.

At the moment, my mind was going too fast for me to think complete thoughts and I momentarily forgot about it. But the sharp pain I felt when I tried to walk on it reminded me. I almost fell, but the man had a firm hold on my arm that dot me from hitting the ground.

For the first time I looked up at him and to a good look at him. He had blond bangs that went down over his forehead and he had blue eyes.

I was surprised he was helping me, seeing how I had shot his brother.

But maybe he didn't know that. Maybe-

"You want this?"

In his free hand, he was holding up a gun. My gun. I took it slowly. I could feel tears again in my eyes as I glared at it half-heartedly with hatred. Yeah. He knew, alright. Within a few hours, I'd gotten into so much just because of it. If only I hadn't taken it this morning. None of this would have ever happened.

"So this is yours, huh?"

I refused to let more tears fall, but the longer I looked at the gun the closer they seemed to coming out. I knew that if I let them, I'd break down, so I looked down in shame, closing my eyes trying to blink the tears away.

I couldn't even look at the thing any longer. I felt him slowly start leading me away, holding into me either so I wouldn't fall or so I wouldn't try to run. I wanted to ask him many questions, but I was afraid of the answer so i didn't voice them. I heard thunder in the distance and I supposed he heard it too because he stopped abruptly. I looked up at him. He was frowning. He turned from the path we were heading and started to head back into the deeper part of the woods. I gave him a look. Now I was just confused.

We walked for awhile, the thunder getting louder and closer by the minute. The sky was very dark now and it grew colder. I had no clue where this guy was going and why I just et him ate me. Whatever happened to don't talk to strangers? Don't go with people you don't know? Well, that was out the window. Despite all that that I learned over the years, something in my mind just let me know I could trust him. I wasn't so sure that was the smartest move, but I decided to just rely on myself. It's not like I had any choice but to.

During the time I'd been thinking to myself, we had traveled pretty far. I've never even been into this part of the woods. It started drizzling slowly, but I knew better. It could get twenty times worse quickly. I put up my hood. The man seemed to know where he was going...more or less. I sniffed trying to stop my nose from running. Great. Now I was getting sick.

Right then I just wanted to quit. To go away from this huge mess. To disappear. But, unfortunately, that wasn't possible. Lightning cracked loudly nearby causing me to jump. The sudden flash of light lit up the forest briefly. Up ahead I saw something big. Almost like a greenish-blue mountain. I blinked trying to figure out what I'd just seen. The man grinned and his pace sped up. We were heading for whatever that thing was.

*Martin's P.O.V*

By the time we reached it, the rain was already coming down hard. We were both soaked through our clothes and freezing. As if to make it worse, a strong gust blew by us making it even colder. Why'd the wind have to pick up then?

We walked up to it and I let go of the boy briefly, sitting him down under this plant with huge leaves that went over somewhat like an umbrella. I took out my creature pod and called the girls. Koki picked up. "Hey, Martin. You need to get back to the Tortuga. It's getting really bad"

I nodded. "Yeah I know. We're outside. Can you open the hatch for us? We're getting drenched out here"

Koki blinked. "We?"

"Uh huh" I turned my pod so that Koki could see the boy. Koki got up and ran off screen. A few moments later, the Tortuga's ramp opened revealing two people in the entry way. Putting my pod away, I helped him inside.

He was hesitant at first, but he walked inside out of the rain with me. The moment we walked inside, we were immediately surrounded and I was overwhelmed with questions.

"Martin, who's this?"

"Are you two okay?"

"What happened?"

"I'll get you both some towels"

"What were you thinking? It's a storm out there and your just taking a walk, Martin?"

"Woah, it wasn't raining before. I didn't know. It's not like I'm a weather reporter. I'll explain everything, but we just got back from walking for a mile in this storm..." I said slipping out of my soaked blue jacket.

"Oh! Right. Koki, can you help them? I'll be right back" Aviva said running off. "Hey, Jimmy! Can you come out and help us..." her voice trailed off.

Koki nodded. "Let's get you two dry"
