High on Zipping into Love

High on Zipping into Love: Chapter #2

Stiles Stilinski is an instructor at a zip line adventure park called Howlin' Heights, located in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. He's in his sixth season as an instructor. He graduated high school at the age of sixteen and started college right after. He graduated from Seline Elite University eight years ago and then began to build his company. He has a degree in Business Administration and a degree in nursing. He spent a couple years in college as an EMT. Then two years after graduating, at the age of twenty-two he opened Howlin' Heights.

Erica was his first hire, and with her came Boyd who is their maintenance guy. Next came Jackson, Theo and Isaac who all were friends of his from college whom Stiles kept in contact with. Lastly came Allison and Kira to round out their little group. Now at twenty-eight years old he has six years of success under his belt and a family he gets to see every day, that he calls Pack.

The crew gathers in the cabin as the guests arrive and Erica gets them checked in. Stiles heads over to the whiteboard. "Okay pack listen up please?"

They all gather around and nod their acknowledgement.

"Okay today we have Kira starting on the Howling Course. She'll take the first shift down there. Jackson you're starting down the hill on courses five and six. Theo? You're on Lunar Landing. Are you ready for that?" he asks.

Theo nods with a smirk. "Absolutely, Alpha. I've been looking forward to it."

Stiles nods and turns to Allison and Isaac. "Ally, you'll take the safety brief for the second group today and then we'll rotate with Allison bumping Kira, Kira heading down to relieve Jackson and Jackson heading inside. Isaac, you have the safety brief for the third group today and then we'll have the rotation again with Isaac bumping Allison, Allison heading down to relieve Kira and Kira heading inside."

"What about you, Alpha?" Allison asks, her hip cocked to the side.

Stiles huffs. "I was getting there." He hangs up the schedule and the rotation. "I will be doing the safety brief for the first group today. I think Erica said we have a couple for the Cub Course in that group. So, I'll do the briefs for both. I can always pull one of you over to the Cub Course if we get anymore for that one."

He looks at the crew who all are vibrating with excitement. This is one of the reasons why he loves his job. Seeing everyone excited to do their job warms his heart. "All right pack. Let's have a howling good time!"

They all break and Stiles heads into the office connected to the cabin. "Hey, Catwoman. How's it going so far?"

Erica grins as she attaches bracelets to their first group. "All good so far Alpha. I have two more I'm waiting on for your group. If you want to head out and start harnessing, I'll send the last two down when they're ready."

"Sounds good." He slips on his gloves, clips his water bottle onto his harness and heads out with ten adult harnesses. He takes his place at the start, waits while people start to gather around, and offers them a smile.

"Welcome to Howlin' Heights. My name is Stiles, and I will be your instructor today. Now, how many of you have howled with us before?" He watches as a few people raise their hands. "All right. Well, welcome back."

The group of returnees claps excitedly and Stiles chuckles in response. "For those of you who are new, we also welcome you. It is our goal to make sure that you all have the best time possible while you're here. Before we head down, we need to get you all harnessed up."

He holds up one of the harnesses, the other nine resting on his shoulder before hanging them on the hooks.

Everyone in the group has their eyes on him as he continues. "So, the most important thing is that you never adjust your harnesses yourself. If at any point your harness feels loose, you need to let an instructor know and we will help you with it. I'm going to go around and get you each harnessed." He begins harnessing all the guests.
