NO!!! Arrrg, you mike it so hard! I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, like, "Oh my gosh, WHAT NEXT?!?!" And then you leave such a cliffhanger! Golly, Theresa, you're too good for me, girl! I'll think of an idea hopefully before my dad gets down here in the basement and turns on a movie COMPLETELY distracting me (Dads are silly sometimes, )

lol,
*Sigh* I've got Mike on the brain.
I hope I'll be able to stay on a little longer tonight but if you see no post from me that's because I'm in bed....watching Lucy, lol. Dad wants everyone in bed once he gets there, so sadly I may have to power down and update tomorrow...

*Stretch goes to grab Theresa from the man's grasp, but Clint and Mike pull him back as the man directs the gun to him*
Man: I wouldn't think about it, bub; I've come for the map...
Angie: We don't have the map.
Man: Don't lie to me, girly, or I'll shoot the whole lot of you!
*Clint stands up to the man and positions Angie behind him*
Clint: She's telling the truth. Three men came and took it from us.
Man: When?
Clint: Yesterday.
*The man looks to them all and squints, trying to figure if they're telling the truth or not*
Man: I'll make a deal with you: since you guys know your way around this jungle...you lead me to that map
Mike: What's in it for us?
Man: You get to keep your lives...
*Kim turns her face from the man into Mike's chest. He comforts her and runs his fingers through her hair, thinking. A moment passes by and he looks to the man*
Mike: We'll do it.
*Clint looks to Mike*
Clint: That's putting our girls in danger, Mike, we don't--
Mike: He'll shoot them right here and now if we don't agree...we've got to do something.
*The man motions his gun toward the exit; they all start on their way once more. As they walk, they talk among themselves quietly as the man is preoccupied flirting with Angie, which was another set up*
Stretch: *Whispering* What's the plan?
Theresa: We're going to lead him to the caves...
Mike: But then we'll lose the treasure.
Kim: We lead him to the caves that are up just another mile ahead, not the target cave which is up a few more miles toward the river.
Stretch: So what do we do when he finds out that it was a set up?
Theresa: There are a whole fleet of us, honey! We could take him out as easily as a broccoli wedge from the oven.
*They all look to Theresa; she smiles faintly and shakes her head*
Theresa: Nevermind.
*This whole time Clint eyes the guy, ready to attack him; Mike tries to calm him down, reasurring him that this is only a set up*
Clint: I don't care if it is or not; how'd you like it if someone were flirting with Kim?!
*Mike looks to Kim, then to Clint*
Mike: I say we forget about the caves and jump him here.
Stretch: I'm for it.
Kim: Well...all right, let's just hope he doesn't put up too much of a struggle!
*Stretch and Clint walk right up behind the man and get ready to leap on him......*

Ooooh this is getting good!!!!!
*Just as the men are about to attack the mysterious gunman they are all startled by the cry of one of the monkeys in the jungle. The man turns back to them and waves with the gun for them all to get in front of him so he can keep on eye on them. He grabs Angie gently by the arm though and motions for her to stay with him.*
Man: So Angie, is one of these men yours?
Angie: Well that one is I guess *she points to Clint*. We really haven't known each other very long though so we're not real close. *The words burn in her mouth because they aren't true and it breaks her heart to have to say them*.
Man: He doesn't look to me like a man very worthy of someone like you.
Angie: *smiling at him* That's very sweet of you to say but you don't really know me.
Man: You're one woman I wouldn't mind getting to know.
*Clint just keeps staring ahead as he listens to their conversation and he tries to keep his anger in check*.
Angie: Well the way to a woman's heart is certainly not with a gun now is it?
Man: Well normally I would say no but this isn't a normal situation darlin'. I bet none of you even realized what you had with that map did you? That's really a shame because what it is supposed to lead to is quite extraordinary, just like you Angie.
*The way he says those last words deeply upset Clint and he knows he must do something before this goes to far and anyone gets hurt. He is walking just in front of the man and he pretends to trip. As he does this the man who was focused on Angie runs into him. Clint then turns around and with all his strength he punches him right in the kisser knocking him flat on his back and also knocking him right out. Once on the ground Clint straddles him and continues to punch him. Mike and Stretch finally manage to pull him away and then Mike takes the gun from the man. The girls all stand there shocked but relieved that they are now no longer in immediate danger.*
Clint: *grabs Angie and nearly smothers her because he's holding her so tight* Are you alright?
Angie: Yes I'm okay. I can't believe you just did that *she says still stunned*. You could have been hurt.
Clint: Don't you know I'll do anything to protect you. *Angie stands up on her tiptoes and kisses him*.
*Clint grabs his hand rubbing it and then shakes it*.
Angie: Oh, did you hurt your hand?
Clint: It's okay, I guess one punch would have been enough but my temper got the better of me.
*Angie takes his hand and gently kisses his knuckles*.
Stretch: Okay well we've got to do something with this guy, any ideas?
Theresa: Shoot him! *They all look at her stunned*. Oh you know I'm just kidding. Seriously though I don't know what we should do with him. If we leave him here he could still come after us.
Stretch: Not if we tie him to a tree or something.
Kim: But then he'll starve to death.
Mike: That's better than he deserves if you ask me.
*While they are discussing what to do with the man he comes to and reaches into his pocket pulling out a small knife*.
Angie: Watch out he's got a knife!!
*They all turn towards him and Mike pulls out the gun and points it at him*.
Mike: You better put that knife down!
Man: Don't worry it's not for you. I can't go back and face my boss without that map or what it leads to. He'll kill me without thinking twice about it. *With that said he puts the knife to his own throat and cuts it killing himself almost instantly*.
(I know that's a little gory but I couldn't think of another way out)
*They all just stand there for a minute in disbelief over what just happened. They quickly snap to though releazing they need to keep moving. Stretch and Theresa add the man's supplies to the little bit they have left and then they all continue on through the jungle.*
*As nightfall nears it begins to rain and they decide to stop and set up camp as best they can in the wet weather. Not taking any chances this time the men decide to take turns keeping watch through the night. Mike decides he'll take the first watch while the others get some rest*.
Stretch: I think you better stay in my tent with me Theresa, you know just in case anything happens *he says slyly*.
Clint: Oh that's a good idea Stretch. I think you better stay with me too Angie.
*Theresa and Angie look at each other and smile then look back to their men*.
Theresa: Whatever you say sweetheart.
Angie: Yes you guys know best I suppose.
*Once they're all tucked away and asleep Kim leaves her tent and sits next to Mike who was keeping watch just outside of it. The night was cool and he was shivering a little so she brought her sleeping bag outside and wrapped it around both of them*.
Kim: I wish we could make a fire, it would be much more romantic...and warm.
Mike: I know but we can't draw any attention to ourselves. Besides if we had a fire you might not snuggle so close to me *he says jokingly holding her even closer and kissing her very passionately*.

lol, I know! It's just so doggone cute!!
*Kim looks down and blushes. He holds her close, nuzzling her neck.*
Stretch: So where are we off to?
*Theresa looks at her watch, lines it up to the sun and points*
Theresa: 5 Miles North.
*Stretch looks to her amazed and smiles*
Stretch: That's my girl!
*The 6 walk for a while, the sun beating down hard on their backs. They pass a gorgeous lake up ahead and the men all nod to each other then pick their girls up and throw them in the water.*
Kim: Why, you big meanies!
*The guys stand in front of them and laugh. The girls look to each other smiling then pull the guys' feet. Clint, Stretch and Mike all splash into the water and the whole gang starts laughing hysterically. Mike pulls Kim in close and kisses her passionately. Theresa looks to Stretch then dunks his head into the water playfully; he chases after her, spins her around in the water then leans her in for a kiss. Clint picks Angie up into his arms. She throws her arms over his neck and they kiss passionately. Mike picks Kim up and sits her off to the side on the edge of the water. She smiles, and teases him*
Kim: You look dashing in that tuxedo, darling.
*He looks down and laughs*
Mike: I don't know what I was thinking when I put it on that day...
Kim: Were you hunting for champagne bottles or something?
*She laughs but he becomes serious and gazes into her eyes*
Mike: I really didn't know what I was hunting for...but I sure did find something I've been needing all my life.
*She smiles and kisses his forehead. Mike hesitates then goes to say something when Clint passes them and jumps out of the water, helping Angie out*
Clint: We gotta get heading out, you two.
*Mike looks up to Clint and nods, then looks back to Kim; she searches his eyes, smiling faintly, knowing he's got something on his mind, but he jumps out of the lake and helps her up. Angie hands everyone a towel and they all dry off. Stretch wraps his towel around Theresa and kisses her neck.*
Stretch: I love you, darling
*She smiles and kisses him sweetly*
Theresa: I love you, too, Stretch.

*Later that day they reach the caves and stand outside too nervous to go in*.
Kim: Well here goes nothin' *she says as she takes a step towards the mouth of the cave*
Mike: Woah wait a minute! *He grabs Kim and pulls her back* I think we should go in first *he points to Clint and Stretch*.
Kim: We're not totally helpless ya know. We've taken care of ourselves pretty well before y'all came along.
Mike: I know sweetheart but we're here now. Can we wear the pants, at least for a little while?
Kim: What do you think girls?
Angie: I don't know, I mean we don't know what's in there.
Clint: *taking her by the hand* Exactly why we should go in first.
Stretch: Okay that settles it, we're going in first.
Theresa: Oh be careful honey *she puts her arms around him and squeezes him tight*.
*Kim and Angie also hug their guys and kiss them and tell them to be careful. Slowly they head into the cave and are shocked by what they find. About 50 feet into the cave they see one of the men who stole the map from them laying on the ground dead with an arrow in his back.*
Mike: What are you doing Clint?
Clint: *leaning down next to him and going through his pockets* I'm looking for the map. Dang it, he doesn't have it.
*They press on and a little further they find another of the men also lying dead with a dart stuck in his throat. Again they search him for the map but don't find it. Slowly they continue on and can see light ahead and hear water rushing from a waterfall. In front of the waterfall they find the last man from the group that stole the map also dead with a dart in his throat as well.*
Stretch: He has the map!! *He bends down and takes it from him*.
Mike: This cave must have been booby trapped.
Clint: Yeah and I guess they found all of them. Let's go back and get the girls.
*Meanwhile outside the caves the girls wait and talk amongst themselves*.
Angie: You really love Mike a lot huh Kim.
Kim: *smiling* Yes I do. He's the kind of man I've always wanted.
Theresa: I'm so happy for you, well for all of us really. You don't think it's a mistake to agree to get married so soon do you?
Angie: I don't think so. It may be a little unusual but when you love somebody you just know it's right.
Theresa: That's what I was thinking. I guess I just wanted to hear from someone else too.
*They all hug and continue to wait for the guys. Within a few minutes they see them coming out of the cave and they all rush over to them*.
Angie: What did you find?
Clint: We found the guys who took the map. They're all dead. It looks like they were killed by booby traps that had probably been there a long time.
Stretch: Yeah here's the map *he takes it out of his pocket and hands it to Theresa*.
Mike: Not too far into the cave there's an opening on the other side and it should be safe for us to go through.
*They gather up their stuff and all head back through the cave until they reach the waterfall*.
Angie: Oh it's so beautiful.
Kim: It sure is.
Theresa: And very romantic.
*The men each pick up their girls and kiss them and then carry them through the waterfall*.
