Aviva wanted to see why Chris wasn't answering her radio calls. She looked at Laura nursing her six month old. Then it hit her, it was Martin's new life! Chris was jealous of Martin. She smiled slightly and thought of a plan to get Chris on her plans. She said, "Laura, I'm going for a little walk."

"Okay, just be careful."

Aviva stopped. Laura was treating her like a five-year-old... Just like Martin to Chris. She frowned slightly and said, "I can take care of myself."

Laura looked up, "It's that Rake, silly."

Aviva left the Tortuga, feeling Chris' pain. She hopped on her bike and glided into the air to the forest. She saw the camper, but Martin was guarding it. She decided to explore a little bit longer. She glided across the field and braked. She looked into the darkness and thought she saw Chris, lying on the ground. She gasped and pulled the bike into drive and went down. She parked a distance from Chris and walked steadily to him.

Chris looked up and saw Aviva taking off her helmet. He has never seen her so scared. He quickly stood up, "What are you doing here?"

"You wouldn't answer my calls... And why were you playing dead or something?"

"I got slapped by Rake there. I just stayed thinking things over."

"Chris, tell me what..."

BANG BANG!

Chris took a heavy glance over in the direction of the shots. Aviva came closer to Chris, "Tell me why you are acting this way."

Chris frowned, "It's none of your business... Martin's sister."

Aviva now knew the reason. He didn't trust her enough. She said, "Chris, I promise I'll never tell anyone, not even to Marlin."

Chris closed his fists, "Shut up, I said."

Aviva wanted to talk. Chris turned to her, "Get out of here. The Rake could be watching us."

BANG!

Chris grabbed Aviva and shook, "GO! GO!"

Aviva climbed unto her bike and went back into the air. Aviva looked over as Chris began to run. She had to save his life to prove that she could be trusted. Then, her target came. She saw the Rake chasing Chris. She doved in right in. With her bike she banged into the Rake, but the Rake was too quick. It turned and saw her and slapped her.

Chris turned and saw fear in his eyes. Aviva fell on the ground, hurt. The bike had crashed into a nearby tree. And the Rake was no where to be seen. Chris ran to Aviva and picked half of her from the ground, "Aviva... Please!"

Aviva panted, "My leg... He got my leg."

Chris stood her up and wrapped her arm around him, "Hang on... We have to get back to camp. Ooohh... Martin is so going to be mad..."

Aviva knew she wanted to help Chris, but she probably made him distrust her the more. She followed Chris to the camper... There was Martin, jawdropped and of course angry.

"Christopher Kratt! You ran off without your weapon and here you came back... With Aviva?! You better tell me everything!"

Aviva said, "Martin, it's not his fault..."

"Aviva, shut the heck up!"

Martin frowned, "You better shut up Chris. Keep it up I guess I will get the paycheck. You're not into it at all."

"I don't check about the stupid paycheck! All I care about is my family!"

"You don't have a family! You are so self centered! All you care about is yourself!"

Chris began to stomp the ground at each word, "I don't care! I don't care! I don't want a family! I hate you! I hate you!"

Martin pointed to the camper, "Get in that camper and stay in there!"

Chris screamed, "I'm not a stipud two-year-old!"

"GUYS! KNOCK THIS OFF!"

Chris and Martin, red as anger can be, stared at Aviva. Aviva said, "Martin, stop treating your brother as a baby. Just because you are the oldest, doesn't mean you can treat others as babies... Laura's doing it to me, because she seen you do it to Chris! Chris, calm down. You not self centered."

Chris backed up from Martin. Martin said, "I'm going to find bullets. I'll deal with you later... With Dad."

Chris watched Martin disappear in the darkness. Chris turned to Aviva, "Uh... Thanks?"

"Don't mention it... Now, uh, can you get me into the camper?"

Chris blushed, "Right..."

Minutes later, Aviva was relaxed on the chair. Her foot was covered with a warm, wet cloth. She looked up at Chris, who was too quiet for his usual self, "Martin's not going to bring you before your father, CK."

Chris didn't say anything. His rifle was perked on his arms, waiting to be used. Aviva wanted Chris to feel better, she said, "Tell me what is wrong. I promise I won't tell. It's bad really to hold your troubles to yourself."

Chris answered, "I'm just jealous. He's seems to be so happy, while I am so upset. He is so happy."

Aviva stood up, feeling much better from her foot slapped. She wished she had been a better friend. She remembered the night before. She said, "But you were so happy when we became closer friends."

Chris sighed. Aviva was close enough to hear it. He said, "I can't trust you because Martin is so close to you as well. He'll fish anything from you, especially if it's about me."

"You don't trust me? You don't trust me enough to hide your special secrets?"

Chris felt her tone getting deeper. He answered, "Yeah..."

Aviva took hold of her jacket and felt like she wanted to tear it, "You don't?! I could just run from here. Away from you!"

Chris said, "Aviva... No... You're my only friend."

Aviva slapped Chris on the face, "How can I be a friend, if you don't trust me?"

Chris shook his head, "I... don't know."

Aviva stepped out of the camper into the dark. She said, "Chris, you are self centered. I was wrong. I hope your father will deal with you."

Chris froze at the door, "Aviva... Please... I don't know how. I figure that Martin will find anyway to get you to tell everything about me."

Aviva said, "I will tell Martin, Christopher."

Chris wanted to stop her. But he couldn't. He thought super fast until his head started to hurt. The Rake was coming. He heard, "Aviva... Look out."

"Shut up, Chris."

The Rake came out from the darkness. Surprisingly, it went past Aviva and slapped Chris unto the ground four times and ran away. Aviva chuckled, "Very funny."

Chris felt his body go numb. He looked up at Aviva, pain arising in his eyes. He quickly stood up, ignoring the pain on his face and took Aviva by her shoulders gently, "You wouldn't tell Martin, right?"

"I will."

Chris looked at her dead in the eyes, "That Rake just slapped my mind back to order. Would you ever tell Martin if I told you the whole truth?"

Aviva frowned, "What kind of truth? Half, quarter -"

"Whole truth! Every bit of meat left on the bone."

Aviva shrugged her shoulders, "Speak fast, as soon as you'll say the last word, I'm leaving."

Chris started to relax, "What if I tell the whole truth?"

"I might stay."

Chris smiled, "Promise me."

Aviva groaned, "Fine."

In one split second, Chris pulled Aviva to him, "I love you," and kissed her. His hand rested on her hair. He blushed in the firelight. Aviva didn't seem to feel upset. She held Chris' arm in place so he wouldn't leave her. After a whole two minutes, Chris pulled away. Aviva's eyes were shining, "You really meant it?"

Chris blushed and scratched his head, "Yeah... I really meant it."

Aviva fluttered. She blushed, thinking about his love for her. She said, "I love you too, Chris."

Soon, out of the forest was Martin. Aviva stepped in front of Chris and said, "Martin, forget about it. After tonight, Chris will be a lot more better."

Martin raised an eyebrow, "How is that?"

Aviva looked at Chris and said, "He's happier now," Chris smiled at Aviva. Martin frowned, "What is going on?"

Chris smiled, "I'm sorry, Martin."

It was very dark. Aviva huddled up to Chris, who had his rifle drawn. He said, "According the database, the rake has 20% health fell. Just a few more shots and he's down."

Aviva said, "But how many of those bullets will be strays?"

"Many."

They ventured out. Soon Chris stopped in the middle of the forest. He turned to Aviva and said, "That kiss was interrupted by Martin. I wasn't fully finished,"

Aviva blushed, "But Martin might be following us."

Chris cupped her chin, "How many times am I going to kiss those thoughts out of your head?"

Aviva didn't answer. She knew Chris was playing around. Chris leaned and kissed her. The rifle was up and over his shoulder so it wouldn't be in the way. Aviva held Chris' arms in place and kissed him back gently.

Seconds later, Chris' arm started to vibrate. Chris pulled away and answered confidently, his creature pod. Martin was staring at him with an angry face and one hand holding his head up, "Don't you realize you idiots are in front of a camera?"

Chris blushed and turned. Seeing the camera aimed at them, he turned back to Martin and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Finding Aviva's bike looks more like you're kissing Aviva."

Chris blushed. His stomach pulled inwards. He said, "You must have been seeing things, Martin."

"Dude, I saw AND heard the whole thing."

Chris' jaw dropped. Aviva was quiet and in the shadows. Martin's angry face turned from anger into a smile into laughter. Soon, Martin had fallen off the chair and was laughing on the floor. If Chris was in a cartoon story, you would see a series of question marks over his head.

Martin came over to the camera and his creature pod, happy than ever, "You are so flushed, Chris! Why didn't you tell me that you were in love with Aviva?!"

Aviva was still standing off and shaking her head. Chris answered, "I thought maybe you'll dig everything out of her about me."

Martin stared at the cameras, "And seeing you do this behind my back?! No way, bro. You are so red as a tomato... No, Red as Valentines' Day!"

Chris groaned, "Don't remind me!"

Martin said, "More hunting, and less kissing, bro. I believe you about the bike. Get the bike and come on back. We got a Rake to catch."

Chris said, "That didn't sound right..."

"I know... and so is your kissing behind camera!" Martin ended the screen, laughing. Chris turned around and said, "Let's go find the bike and get back... I think I'm too embarass to talk now."

Aviva passed the camera, watching it move in their angle, "I agree..."

Once the camera was out of sight, Chris cried out, "Martin saw it! He saw it! And he's acting sweet about it! I can't believe it."

Aviva said, "Martin could really be sweet. Afterall, he witnessed our love but in college."

Chris said, "I think I rather pretend to be anothe guy than face Martin. I still have a burning sensation on my face."

Aviva blushed, "Thank goodness you're not like other guys."

"Why not?"

"If we were making love..."

"Don't make me think about that..."

They found the bike right where it was lying. Chris tilt it over and said, "Just needs to get turned on and we're okay."

Aviva turned it on and the bike immediately hovered. Aviva said, "I'll go back to the Tortuga and leave this embarassment behind."

Chris touched her lower back, "I agree... But one thing for certain, We're not going to be alone."

"Why not?"

"Martin will be talking."

Aviva blushed and flew back towards the Tortuga. Chris perked his rifle at the sound of footsteps. Out of the shadows the Rake appeared, he lifted the gun and shot. One shoot brought the Rake back. Chris ran the opposite lane, knowing that it will go to camp.

Once back at camp, Chris saw Martin on the camper roof. He blushed and climbed up and ignored Martin for a change. The Rake did come down. Both brothers shot and refilled. The Rake looked up at the camper and Chris took his last lucky shot. There, the Rake was stunned.

Martin cheered, "Great aim, bro!" And jumped down and dragged the heavy creature into the cage in the truck's bed. Chris lifted the cage door and locked it in several places. Martin said, "We got to clean out the camper. Then, we can go to Ontario."

Chris cleaned up before Martin. Martin cleaned the campsite and got the cameras. Chris opened the box and Martin dropped the cameras into the box. Chris got the traps and put them in a separate box. Everything was back into order and Martin took the front step.

Chris sat on the passenger seat and buckled without looking at Martin. Once out of the Yellowstone Park, Martin picked up the radio and said, "We got the Rake. We're heading up to Ontario, gang. Meet us there."

The radio answered, "Okay, we're be at the scientist's office."

"Roger."

Chris stared out the window as Martin got the truck unto the road. Finally, the sweat began to pour as Martin said, "Where's Aviva?"

"Back at the Tortuga. That was her that answered."

Martin saw Chris was disappointed, "Aw, come on, lover boy. I was like you too. Listen, I'm happy for you. At least, Aviva can keep you out of trouble."

Chris looked at Martin, "Trouble? When do I get into trouble?"

"Acting like a wild animal at times. Running around the forest in front of camera kissing."

Chris blushed as he looked away, "Can't you just keep it a secret? If the Tortuga knows about it, then I'll be redder than Mars!"

Martin smiled, "It's going to come out quicker than you think, Chris. Love is not that hard."

"You're changing the subject now. We're supposed to be talking about our time with the Rake."

Martin smiled, "Chris, stop being afraid. You're not that wild man anymore. You are a strong, but shy, and reliable young man. Mom is still proud to have you still alive. Remember, bro, Aviva is lucky to have you. You were subject to die within days of your C-section."

Chris shrugged his shoulders, "I made it."

"But barely. I'm special to have a brother like you. Afterall, who doesn't know the forest left and right and recognizes if we get lost?"

"I still can't find my way at night. It's scarier at night. Wait, you changed the subject again."

"I know. This involves you, Chris. You is what makes me special. You is what makes Aviva special. You is what makes the Tortuga special. You are special no matter what."

Chris felt his face flushing that blush. He said, "What if something happens?"

"Nothing's wrong with that."

Chris smiled. He settled himself in the seat, "I'm tired... It's been a long night."

Martin looked at the time, "You should sleep, bro. It's 3:30 in the morning. We won't be there probably by tomorrow afternoon... Chris?"

Chris was already asleep on his side on his chair. Martin smiled, "Baby brothers... You gotta love 'em."
