something special too. I just can’t seem to find the right one. But don’t worry. I’ll keep trying.” He gave her a brilliant smile.
    Her shoulders slumped, knowing that there was no way to stop him until his mission was complete. In resignation, she nodded and said, “Let’s go.” She got onto her motorcycle and the group of explorers headed out on their adventure.
    Taylor led the way and, after riding some distance and stopping periodically so that Penny could chart their path on her GPS, he guided them to a small clearing tucked under an outcropping of stone. They used it to hide the motorcycles and it also provided their vehicles some protection from the weather. She noticed several cans of gas ready for them so that they could refill before heading back down the trail.
    After Penny logged their position, she called the local ranger and the small band of adventurers headed out on foot.
    As they explored the mountainside, the twins gave her a very thorough lay of the land. Penny was pleasantly surprised by their knowledge of their surroundings as well as the history of life on that mountain. As they talked, she filled a small notebook with all of the details she was learning, many she wanted to share with the customers that she would soon be guiding through these same woods. Since the twins hadn’t grown up in the area and still didn’t associate well with any of the locals, she knew that they had to have gained this level of knowledge by studying. She chuckled at the image of the twins sitting down long enough to actually read a book.
    After they setup camp for the night, Taylor said to Penny, “We still have a few hours of light left. You’ve already proven to us that you can hike. How about you show us your hunting skills? That is…unless you were lying about being able to handle a gun.”
    Penny walked over to her gear and pulled out her rifle, saying “Let’s go, boys.”
    For the next few hours they tromped through the woods. Although Penny was able to offer some assistance in hunting prey, she was in absolute awe of the twin’s natural abilities to track both large and small game.
    When they returned to the camp with Tadd carrying several large rabbits for dinner, Penny said, “I have to tell you two, I’ve never seen anyone with hunting abilities like you.”
    Taylor replied, “I guess we’ve spent so much time in the woods that we’re becoming more animal than Human.”
    Tadd added, “You did alright for yourself. You took down one of these fur balls for us.”
    Penny smiled and said, “Only because you helped. I never would have spotted that rabbit on my own.”
    Taylor replied, “Well now we have something better to eat for dinner than pre-packaged camp food.”
    When Penny went to help clean their dinner, the twins waved her off, saying “The one that kills dinner doesn’t need to clean it.”
    Tadd said, “Me caveman. I make fire.” He beat the ground with a stick.
    Taylor added, “Me Tarzan. I make meat.” He beat his chest and let out a Tarzan yell.
    Penny laughed and said, “Me Jane. I make food.”
    Working together, their camp was soon filled with the wonderful aroma of their dinner cooking over an open flame.
    While they ate, the twins insisted on hearing stories of Penny’s life. Although she tried to get them to share details about their own lives, she found them very resistant to offer anything about themselves. Knowing their rough upbringing, she didn’t press the issue and hoped that, over time, they would learn to trust her and open up without fear.
    Although they had setup two tents, when the night turned unexpectedly cold and they decided to call it a day, the three crawled into the same tent for warmth. While wrapped up in their blankets, they continued to talk until the sun peeked up over the horizon and Penny’s deep breathing told them she had fallen asleep.
    The twins had never spent so much time physically close to a Human since they turned because they
