Caffeine strode quietly through the wooded trail his gray eyes glancing down occasionally at the pointer guiding their return to the geocache. Tromping along behind and laying no claim to stealth came Piranha. The inevitable chomping of yet another trail bar mixed strangely well with the clumping of his boots to create a symphony that Caffeine was quite sure had driven all the fowl and possible even some flora from this neck of the woods.
Finally a tiny beep from the GPS announced their arrival and he glanced down at the arrow reading of 122 degrees. “Looks like we are here,” he called over his shoulder to his ever hungry friend as he stopped before the cache. “Yup, there it is,” mumbled Piranha around a mouthful of Peanut Yummy. “Hoo boy, the boss is going to be all over us if this thing’s been muggled again,” he said nervously. “This will be like the 100th time or so and he already thinks we’re idiots,” he added with a look of foreboding.
Caffeine crouched down and cautiously slid up the cache revealing a sight that brought a wail of dismay from Piranha. “Muggled again!” he cried in disbelief staring inside at the empty container. Holding his head in his hands he strode back and forth, the consternation etched in his face. “Oh man, oh man, oh man, we’re gonna get it now,” he moaned pitifully. Caffeine eyed his friend in amusement, “Would you please calm down. You give yourself a heart attack and I’m not lugging your peanut stuffed body out of here.” “Calm?” Piranha retorted, “calm, the man sez,” throwing up his arms to the heavens. “Man, the pressure’s on us to make this @#$%^$ cache muggle-proof and in case you haven’t noticed, nothin’ we’ve done’s workin’!” “So ‘Mr. Calm Down’ what’re we gonna do?”
Caffeine rose to his feet and faced his friend with an almost Zen like calm and began ticking off items on his fingers. “First we take a deep breath. Secondly we separate emotion from passion. Thirdly there is no pressure. And finally…” “Yea, yea, yea,” Piranha interrupted sarcastically, “Are ‘WE’ gonna come to the point anytime soon?” “And finally…” his friend repeated undaunted and ignoring the interruption. “We haven’t been muggled!” he announced with a touch of a smile starting to appear on his face.
