[i]Damnit. [/i] Rick just noticed how dark it was getting and no sign of Avery yet.  This is just like her. She always did that while gaming. 'I'll be right there, just let me bah bah." Then she would go and get side-tracked by something. He stood with his hands on his hips looking towards the mountains.
