CLAE TURNED AND LOOKED AT HIM. SHE LOOKED FROM HIS SHORT AND STYLISH
         
         BLACK HAIR,AND WARM DARK EYES,TO HIS LEAN YET MUSCULAR FORM.HE WAS
         
         LITTLE FRAMED,PROBABLY ONLY FIVE-NINE,AND WEIGHING MAYBE ONE-FO1JRTY.
         
         “I’M GOING TO GO FISHING.LORD KNOWS THAT’S GONNA BE INTERESTING.”
         
         CLAE SAID AS SHE STOOPED AND FLIPPED OPEN THE LID TO THE TIN SURVIVAL
         
         BOX.SHE TOOK OUT THE ROLL OF CLEAR HEAVY DUTY TWINE.SHE GRABBED TWO
         
         STURDY LIMBS.SHE SAT ON THE GROUND AND TIED THE TWINE SECURELY TO THE
         
         POLLS.SHE CUT OFF THE EXTRA,PLACED IT IN THE KIT,AND TOOK OUT THE
         
         EXTRA SMALL SPOOL OF WIRE.SHE CUT OFF FOUR SMALL PEICES WITH HER KNIVE.
         
         SHE TWISTED THE TWO PEICES TOGETHER AND MADE A SEMI-DECENT HOOK.SHE ATTACHEL
         
         IT TO HER TWINE.DAVE FOLLOWED HER EXAMPLE.HE LOOKED OVER AT CLAE,HER HEAD
         
         BENT IN CONCENTRATION.
         
           “WOULDN’T SPEAR FISHING BE EASIER?” HE QUESTIONED.CLAE GRIMACED AND

         LOOKED AT HIM THROUGH HER LASHES.SHE BENT HER HEAD LOWER.
         
           “THAT WAS THE OTHER’S JOB.”SUDDENLY SHE CURSED AND A BRIGHT DROP OF
         
         BLOOD SPLASHED FROM HER FINGER.SHE PUT HER FINGER TO HER MOUTH AND SUCKED.
         
         SHE LOOKED AT DAVE AND RAISED AN EYEBROW AS IF TO SAY,”WELL?!” DAVE
         
         LAUGHED AND GENTLY PRIED HER FINGER AWAY FROM HER MOUTH.HE LOOKED AT
         
         THE SMALL CUT THEN NOTICED THE GOOD SIZED GASH ON HER WRIST.HE LOOKED
         
         UP AT HER.SHE LOOKED AT IT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WAVED IT AWAY.
         
           “I DID IT WHEN I WAS CLIMBING.I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT.”
         
         “IT’S PRETTY BAD.DOES IT HURT MUCH?” HE ASKED.CLAE LAUGHED AT THE

         CONCERNED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.
         
           “I’LL LIVE.IT’S JUST A LITTLE FLESH WOUND.HONESTLY,I’LL GET OVER IT.”

         “DO YOU WANT ME TO CLEAN IT OFF?” DAVE ASKED.CLAE RAISED HER GOOD HAND AND

         GENTLY TOUCHED DAVE’S FACE.
