Male Bonding Gone Wrong
Chapter 5- Dust in the Wind
Hank felt guilty, no incredibly guilty. He sighed as he gathered some twigs together. It was his idea to go on this trip. He let the argument between himself and Tyler come to blows, and Jamie nearly drowned because of it, and then again Tyler and himself fought and Tyler was bitten by a snake, and then he let Jamie run off into the woods. Hank was so caught up in his berating, he didn't see the protruding branch until his ankle caught it. With a yelp, Hank tumbled down the steep decline.
**********************************************************
Tyler had been grilling Jamie for nearly ten minutes and he was beginning to realize he wasn't going to get an answer. With a frustrated sigh and glared at Jamie through the rapidly diming light. The one thing that was giving him some comfort was if he was still moving and talking, he must not be bleeding to rapidly.
"Hank should have been back by now." Jamie said suddenly. "Its starting to get dark." Tyler glanced around the woods.
"I guess I could hoot like an owl." Tyler replied.
"I don't think it'll do much good." Jamie sighed and painstakingly stood up.
"Where are you going?!" Tyler demanded.
"To find Hank." Jamie watched Tyler out of the corner of his eye "Stay here." He dug around and pulled out some guaze, just in case.
"Jamie, your bleeding, you shouldn't be running around the forest again!"
"Your right, this time I'll walk." With that Jamie disappeared through the trees.
"Damnit." Tyler muttered watching him go. "Always has to be the hero."

Val sat sipping he drink. Caitie had resumed her pacing and Brooke watched her do so. "Your going to put a hole in our carpet." Val said.
"Good. This carpet is ugly." Caitie replied. Val rolled her eyes, but had to admit it was rather unsettling that they couldn't reach the boys up at the cabin.
"Caitie, can you tell me what the bad feeling of yours feels like?" Caitie looked at her like she had grown another head.
"Its a feeling, a unpleasent one. I know you think I'm over reacting, but I'm telling you something is really wrong here!"
"I think I'm starting to see your point." Val murmured. Caitie stopped her pacing and sat down on the bed across from Val.
"What?"
"I mean, I'm not so sure something horrible happened, but it is unsettling that we couldn't reach them at the cabin."
"But I thought you were convinced they were just out."
"Well I mean they probably are, but I mean still." Caitie sighed. Val she decided, was just trying to make her feel better and stop carrying on.
"Yeah alright, I won't mention it again." Caitie muttered sliding off the bed and sitting on the floor. Val sighed and pulled out a small book.
"Would crys of pain make you feel better?" Val asked with a grin.
"No Val, I don't think it would.
*****************************************************
Hank sat up with a groan. His left arm was broken, as it hung at a odd angle from the elbow down. Hank gritted his teeth and tried to think of what he should do. Something was dripping into his eye and he reached up to brush it away. Blood, he knew, he must have cracked his head on the way down. "HANK!?" Hank's features flooded with relief at Jamie's bellow.
"Down here!" Hank yelled. In the dim light he saw Jamie's outline appear at the top of the ridge.
"Hang on Hank I'm coming down!" True to his word, Jamie skittered down the side. He cringed upon seeing the condition of Hank's arm.
"Yeah I know." Hank said. "What am I going to do about it?"
"Um....we'll have to imbolize it." Jamie began hesitantly.
"How?" Jamie searched around until he found to sticks of similar length reaching for his belt loop he pulled the gauze.
"Gee Mcguyver can you build us a phone? I've got a paper clip and some floss." Hank joked, trying to keep the situation light.
"I could build you a radio from seashells." He replied. Taking Hank's arm, He straightened it along the branch. Hank gave a small shout of pain. Jamie looked at him apologitically. "Sorry." Hank grunted in reply and watched as Jamie placed the other branch on top, wrapping Gauze tightly around it.
"This should hold until we get medical attention." Hank said, checking over Jamie's handy work.
"I hope so. Over here its not as steep a climb, want to try it?" Hank nodded and Jamie scaled the first few feet offering a hand to Hank to help him along. Hank excepted and the two of them slowly but surely made their way up.
**********************************************************
Tyler was relieved to say the least when Jamie and Hank came through the trees. "Hank what happened?!" Tyler cried, his relief fading.
"I fell down."
"I can see that!"
"I'll go get the firewood." Jamie stated disappearing back into the woods.
"Jamie!" Tyler protested. "Damn!"
"What?" Hank asked.
"He's bleeding and won't say why or how long."
"And he's off romping in the woods again." Hank muttered, concern clear on his face.
"In the dark."
"Damn."
**********************************************************
Jamie leaned against a tree and put his hand on the inside of his jacket. Pulling his hand away he was relieved to see that the bleeding had stopped. He ached, but at the moment he seemed to be in better shape than Tyler or Hank. He pushed away from the tree and continued searching for wood. Pain suddenly rocketed up his spine and bright flashes of firey hot pain exploded in front of his eyes as he tumbled to the ground.
What the hell happened to Jamie? Wouldn't you like to know. *smirks* yes, yes, the queen of suspense is at it again (thanks for the title Mo') I know, but did you honestly think I'd give them a rest? I told Hank I'd think about it and I did, I was thinking about what to do to him next....hehe.
