Nature Hike
Lindsay had been on a number of missions for Project Cadmus and had traveled to a number of different locations across the United States and the globe.  Had it been under other circumstances, she might have enjoyed the opportunity to travel, even if it also occasionally meant ending up in the middle of nowhere Louisiana fighting genetic experiments who looked like something out of one of the cartoons her children had watched.   And Roger and Johnny were pretty good company, truthfully, even if Roger took some getting used to.

But now they were hiking through the middle of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, on some wild goose chase about possible alien sightings.

Now, Lindsay knew that aliens were real.  You didn't grow up in a world that boasted the likes of Superman, Starfire, and had seen numerous alien Green Lanterns, among others, over the course of the years and not believe in aliens.  It wasn't even a question of belief.  These things just were.

But she had a hard time believing that if aliens were still coming here that they would pick a place like this.

"One of these days," she said to her two companions, "we have got to get a better plan than wandering about until we get attacked by whatever we're looking for."

"Really? It's been a pretty effective plan so far." Roger shrugs, ambling along.

"Then again, so was communism, aside from the fact that it relied on people."

"That's only because you're the only one who smells edible, Johnny," Lindsey said.

The crack of gunfire interrupted whatever else she might have said as a bullet bounced off her shoulder.

"What the hell?!"

Another bullet tears through the path they were on, momentarily splattering Roger's head. Some of him lands on the ladies.

"...awkward, this." The headless man speaks.

Johnny yelps and hides behind Lindsey because while she deflects and Roger reforms, Johnny is very much HUMAN.

"The hell?"

A man dressed in hunting gear stepped into view, a rifle in one hand and a frightened look on his face.

"I think I got one!" he called back over his shoulder. He turned to see the team and his expression grew more frighten.

"What... on Earth?"

Natives. Great.

"Okay, I know this looks... odd, sir," she began.

Roger scoops up his errant portions and smushes his head back into the bandages.

"Nothing to see here. Just some performance artists."

She pauses.

"Or have modified Deliverance moment."

The man looked rather unnerved by the whole thing, especially Roger. And Johnny's Deliverance joke didn't seem to help much.

"You ain't... working with them monsters, is ya" he demanded. His gun wavered, as though he couldn't decide whether or not to put it down.

"No, sir," Lindsey assured him. "We're actually here investigating the monster sightings."

She flashed a badge briefly. True, Cadmus technically was a private enterprise, but it still maintained enough government contracts that it could take up some of the investigative slack.

"Rest assured sir, we are trained professionals, here to help keep you and your loved ones safe." Roger uses his best hostage negotiator voice, extending his hand to the man.

"Ihatemonsterssopleasedon'tshootoreatme."

Johnny was still hiding behind Lindsey. Too many close calls on recent trips, though she did peek out at the man and tried not to look completely terrified.

The man hesitated, then took Roger's hand and shook. He looked to Johnny and briefly touched his cap. "Don't worry, miss," he said. "We ain't planning on that."

He looked concerned. "You're here to find the monsters? Wish you coulda gotten here sooner, for they got Paulie..."

"It's eaten someone?" Lindsey asked. She quickly shot Johnny a glance. "Don't worry. Me and Roger won't let you get eaten. Promise."

Roger shook the man's hand and then patted Johnny on the shoulder. "No beautiful toxic women are getting eaten on my watch."

A beat. "Or anyone else, regardless of beauty level."

"Great. I'm going to be an appetizer." Johnny sighed. "Okay let's go find a monster and get this over with."

"Don't reckon you folks want to be tramping 'round these woods with it gettin' dark," the man said. "Me and the others, our campsite ain't far from here. We was gonna hold out until dawn..."

"I think we'll manage," Lindsey said. Her and Roger, at least. She had night vision and he'd probably evolve echolocation or God knows what else.

Then again, there was Johnny to think of. "Wouldn't hurt to have a look in on your friends anyway."

As long as he wound up under enough stress, probably.

"It's decided then. Please, lead us to your frontier abode."

Johnny was relieved that they had decided to check out the camp site, mostly because if there were other people who smelled edible, she wouldn't be the first bite. And that gave her time to run like hell, something she'd practiced way too much lately.

"Forward ho."

It wasn't much, just a couple of tents, some logs, and a fire. Two other men were already sitting there. Both had rifles near by. The son was dipping low in the sky, coloring everything blood red.

"I know they're a little freaky," their guide said to his friends, "but they say they're here to help."

"Good luck to 'em if they can stop those critters," one added.

"What can you tell us about them?" Lindsey asked.

She ratcheted up her sensors a notch, just in case.

Roger sat down by the fire, offering handshakes to the men there. "Roger Smith, freelance monster hunter."
