Male Bonding Gone Wrong

Chapter 8- Hate this place

Hank's head snapped up at Tyler's scream which echoed through the trees. Startled, Jamie stumbled falling again. Hank helped him to his feet and dragged him along some more. Hank halted and groaned. Blocking their path was a large branch.

"Go find Tyler, make sure he's okay." Jamie insisted.

"I'm not leaving you in the woods." Hank replied.

"Hank, Tyler needs help and I'm just slowing you down." Jamie looked at the large branch. "There's no way I'm getting over that. Tyler needs help now. Go get him, make sure he's okay. I'll wait for you here."

"What if that bear comes back eh?" Hank demanded.

"Well, then I'll crawl under the branch or something. Listen just go!" Hank debated with himself. "Hank, your not doing Tyler any good standing here. Go get him." Hank sighed, Jamie was right.

"I'll be back with Tyler, stay here." With that he scaled the branch and slipped out of sight.

Caitie and Val, were sitting across from each other in a Denny's pushing their food around.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you earlier." Val said softly, Caitie's eyes flickered up to met hers.

"Its all right, I'm just...so worried. What do you think happened?" Val shrugged and put a French fry in her mouth.

"Who knows." Caitie chewed on her lower lip for a moment.

"You don't think their-"

"No!" Val cut in briskly. "Their fine, just lost or something." Caitie nodded and tried to choke down some of her food.

The rain fell into Hank's eyes and he slipped again. His arm was killing him, so was his head, he could only imagine the pain Jamie and Tyler must be in. Part of him was screaming at him to go back and get Jamie, drag him along. His other half told him he was doing the right thing by leaving Jamie where he was to get to Tyler. Tyler was in trouble and Jamie was having trouble moving, leaving him where he was, that was the smartest thing to do. It didn't make the choice any easier though. Trudging into the familiar campsite he sighed in relief.

"Tyler!" No answer. Hank looked around thinking maybe he had taken shelter under a rock or something and it was taking him some time to get back out. There was no sign of life around the campsite. "TYLER!" He yelled, all he heard was the echo of his own voice. Around that time he saw the marks in the mud, wherever Tyler went, he didn't go on his own....

Oh dear, what the hell happened to Tyler? What's Hank gonna do? And How's Jamie doing back at the tree? For all those people who are wondering about Jamie, don't worry chapter 9 is Jamie's chapter. ;)
