While Wade is accustomed to hiking through the wilderness since as a child, he really hates the humidity and the wetness. At least the trees and the breeze provided some protection from the sun. He sprayed more of the bug repellent spray on his arms and face, really any part of the body that is exposed to the damn bugs. After rubbing the spray on his skin, he wiped any excess spray from his hand onto his pants. According to Lucas, the expedition leader, they're getting closer to Coswall's last known location. He hopes that the map that Lucas has leads them to some kind of structure that provides some refuge. 

Wade grabbed his gray thermos from his survival pack and took a swig of water for some hydration. He thought of the satellite phone that Jeff gave him for regular communications with his friend. If the kook Coswall did find something that is a scientific breakthrough and lead to the group's disappearance, like finding a hollow earth with dinosaurs, would the satellite phone do anything to reach word out to Jeff and the others? He read the Jules Verne novel and seen the Brendan Frasier movie. Guess all they could rely on would be their own tools and weapons if they're in a similar trouble. 

Wade's train of thought was interrupted by Lucas's grunt as the 20 year old tripped over some roots and landed on his stomach. Wade, rushed forward.

"You okay, kid?" he asked to Lucas as he got up. "Any scratches?"
