<div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/AdamKnight2.jpg)</div>Adam has been running around in without even his jacket and not noticing it because he was running on adrenaline.  The cold water of the stream is a rude awakening.  It's damn cold.  Heather hugged him and he was mostly thinking how damn cold the water was.  Although he is glad she's alright.<br/><br/>"Hey, any landing you can walk away from."<br/><br/>He took Beth's hand gratefully and pulled himself out.  "Thanks Beth."<br/><br/>Then drill sargent laid into them.  Adam was shocked for a moment, but after he thought about how damn cold the water was he had to admit she made a lot of sense.  It was maybe mid-forties in late evening.  That meant a cold night.  Flipping the van?  that would take work. What if they laid the back seats down in his cab.  No, Anico was right.  The van was the only thing that would hold them and they'd want walls around them to keep the cold out and the heat in.<br/><br/>Then he thought of something else.  "What about the other kind of predator?  The kind that walks on two legs, not four?  That fire and all the noise will keep wild animals at bay, but it might attract human attention.  I don't know when we are, this looks like before Dallas was settled, but there were Indians here thousands of years before that.  I think someone needs to get my rifle and play high guard from the top of that bridge."<br/><br/>And he's assuming they're in the past.  He recalled that in China that a radioactive plain had appeared and there was one about a flying saucer.  What if they're in some far future after a nuclear war?  The cold was a danger, but man was usually more hostile than any environment.  Although setting one person on guard duty meant one less helper, better safe than sorry.<br/><br/>And he wanted to settle this quickly, because he was damn cold soaking wet.
