see his video woman.
    Interesting.
    So the dance begins. I hope he likes what he sees. Video man has an inch on me and about twenty pounds. Damn it’s all muscle too. The video didn’t exactly clue me on that, but I’m sure I can still take him. And to the victor goes the spoils.
    He made the decision, took off his sunglasses, reaching his hand out, he said. “Hi, I’m Roan Kline.”
    “I’m Rob Henderson.”

    Rob extended his hand while he continued to study Roan. An awkward silence filled the air. Looking around, he racked his brain for something to say. Normally, not a tongue-tied kind of guy, Rob studied the man. The guy in front of him gave off a creepy vibe with his gun on his hip and his ‘Make my day’ stance. Shaking his head, Rob couldn’t help but wonder what kind of yahoo he was dealing with. Did he think he was in a western movie or what? Sunglasses hooked on his t-shirt, a knife in his belt, Rob figured the man thought himself cool. It struck Rob as a lot of fire power. Looking down, Rob tried to figure out if Roan wore an ankle holster also.
    “I didn’t know anyone else knew about our cave,” Rob said.
    “Your cave?” Roan smirked, cocking his head to the side.
    Cocky bastard . “That’s what we came to call it over the last year,” Rob replied before he could stop himself.
    “We?” Roan probed.
    Choosing not to answer Roan’s question, Rob asked one of his own, “Are you alone?”
    “Why?”
    “Just curious.” Changing tactic, Rob asked, “Are your radios working?”
    “No.”
    “Mine aren’t either. I have a battery powered one and a hand crank. I can’t raise the Emergency Broadcast System on either one of them.”

    “Same here .” Interesting, why’s he being so secretive about his wife? Let’s play with him.
    “Do you want to share the cave?”
    “Thanks, but not right now. We…I found another spot.”
    “There’s plenty of room.”
    “I know. I’ve explored these caves for a couple of years.”
    “Oh?” Roan quirked an eyebrow, the guy didn’t trust him. Good instincts .
    “I like exploring. I also explore underwater caves.”
    “Sounds like fun. What do you think about what happened last night?” Roan said, broaching the subject.
    “I don’t know. I’d be more comfortable if the radios worked,” Rob answered honestly.
    “Me, too.”
    Rob held out his hand. “It was nice meeting you. I heard you out and about last night. I thought it best to wait until daylight, to introduce myself.”
    Roan grabbed his hand firmly. “It was nice meeting you, too. If you change your mind, let me know. Oh, where are you staying?”
    “I stayed in my car last night. I’m gonna explore the area today and find a spot. I appreciate your offer, but I like my privacy. I’ll catch you around.” Rob turned to leave.
    “Rob, you never answered me, are you alone?”
    “Funny, you didn’t answer me either,” Rob grunted, and continued on his way.
    Roan smiled, cagey son of a bitch. Rob’s not dumb. I’ll have to change my plans. Work my way into their trust before I make my move. He leaned on the outer cave wall and watched Rob disappear into the woods.
    He gave him ten minutes before he decided to follow him. In twenty minutes, he was laughing. Yeah, not stupid this one, he wiped his footprints. I wish I had better tracking skills. Anticipation licked at his throat, he couldn’t wait until he held video woman in his arms. He would have to bide his time. Which way would he go? Me, I’d go into the sun . Roan headed west and walked the woods for another hour before he decided to return to his cave. Damn, I lost him . Yeah, next time, I’ll follow him sooner.

    Rob watched Roan roam the woods. He knew the guy would try to follow, so he climbed the closest tree and sat while he waited for him. It didn’t take long to spot him. The guy had a habit of talking to himself. A sure sign he was alone. There’s no way he was leading Roan back to Lauren. Rob watched him
