Death In The Marshland - Page 5/21

The next day after Crystal dropped Donavan off at Miss Jenny's daycamp for children in Evergalade City all three went out on the airboat. Shelly tried to hook an alligator to take him to deeper water away from the community and wasn't able to Crystal had to hook it. She noticed Shane was using binoculars. He said he was looking for more alligators but Shelly felt like he was watching the cabin that Crystal and him had went outside to talk about a couple of evenings before. Maybe he did think there was poachers in the cabin but her women's intution said something entirely different about the man in the cabin. One thing she knew for sure was that she did know for sure was she was out of her league here in the marshlands. She didn't realize there were differences in the marshes or wetlands and couldn't tell any of them apart and God help her if she got lost out there on her own That evening at dinner Shelly told both of them that the everglades wasn't what she could deal with. She thanked them for inviting her down but she was way out of their league. She couldn't tell the difference between fresh water marsh lands and wouldn't even be able to tell the office which area of the wetlands they were in if their lies depended on it. She was in tears because she really wanted to fit in down here.
