A raccoon wandering by, looking for a late night snack. That was all the sudden noise was. Gia was almost certain. Almost. Automatically, she swept her hand over the ground beside her, raising the handgun in the direction of the noise. She kept her thumb on the safety but she was ready. Just in case the cause of the noise had two legs and not four. Beside her, Rio sat up smoothly like he hadn’t been dead asleep just seconds ago, his left hand palming a gun as he kicked away the sleeping bag soundlessly.Flowing to his feet, he pressed two fingers against her lips in the universal gesture for silence. No worries. She had no intention of hollering a welcome if they had unexpected company. He obviously assumed she was good with his sit-and-wait strategy because he promptly scanned the trees and then disappeared into the woods, gun out in front of him. Following him meant running the risk he’d accidentally open fire on her, not knowing she was on his tail.
