Bear of a Cowboy

Chapter Four

**** Back in the employee cabins someone sat at his computer going through the pictures he had taken. Each photo was of Gwyn. Shne had no idea she was being photographed. He stopped at one where she was looking right at the camera, he was especially proud of this one. He convinced himself easily that she had posed for him.

He slid his thumb across her lips and smiled. "Soon, my beautiful little, Gwynevere."

He lifted the china angel figurine he had bought for her. She was going to love it. Now all he had to do was leave it where she could see it.

Bear was doing situps on the livingroom floor when his phone began to ring. Gwyn smiled and went to answer it, but when she picked up the phone....

"Hello, Blackfeatha cabin. How may I help you?"

She heard excited breathing on the end of the line. "Hello?"

A soft chuckle and then a click. Stunned she turned to look at Bear, who was now watching her closely.

She blinked, stared at the phone and put it quietly back in the charger. "Dat was creepy."

"Tell me." He studied her face and knew it had been a more than creepy to her.

"It must 'o been some kid makin' a prank call. Ce est le cas depuis quelques semaines maintenant." (It's been happening for a few weeks now.) She admitted in Cajun.

Bear grabbed his cane, stood and faced her. He was able to walk now, but not without support. There were some days he had to revert back to the chair, but he was gradually improving. 'Thank You, Lord.'

"Gwyn...what did he say?"

"Nothin'. I heard 'im breathin' an'....an' den....he....giggled...."

Bear cut her off, "Wait....what?! Say that again. What did he do?"

Confused now she looked up at him, "He....giggled an' hung up. Why?"

Bear limped his way to the phone and called Nico. "Nico - Bear here. We have a problem. Can you get over here ASAP?"

Nico agreed, "I'll be dere in twenty." And hung up.

Twenty minutes later, Nico was at Bear's front door.

"Hidden cameras?!" Gwyn was furious. "You found hidden cameras in my room - my bedroom an' said nothin'! What will péré when I tell 'im 'bout this?!"

Bear was angry also. They hadn't even told him that they had found more devices. Brett had stated that they needed more time and would let him know.

"Bébé, we didn't want ta worry ya. Bear had a bad feelin' 'bout de broken window latch an' asked us ta look inta de matta. We....found some t'ings an' removed 'em. Den we found replacements but hadn't had de chance to tell Bear what we found."

She rounded on Bear. "You knew! Dat's why you wanted de room change, isn't it!" She threw her hands up into the air. "O'course it is, why else would you ask ta trade rooms? I thought I was helpin' you! You tricked me. Did ya enjoy dat? Did you have fun t'inkin' 'bout how easy it was, how stupid I was ta be so easily convinced!"

To Bear's surprise she went on a Cajun tirade before either of the men could say a thing. They just stood transfixed, watching as the smidgen of a woman glowered at them. Both were glad there was nothing in reach when she looked for something to throw.

"Aucun dérapage des femmes sont supérieures aux hommes! Nous avons au moins la cervelle!"
(No wonder women are superior ta men! At least we have brains!)
