Bridger felt as though his friendship with Pope was getting stronger. Maybe it was because Pope held his secret in his hands or because he saved him from dying that night. Whatever it was, they both seemed to have an unspoken rule, that they would both look out for each other. It was a brother like bond, one that Bridger only knew with Rafe. But Pope was really good at reading people. He understood Bridger's feelings even when he didn't voice them. After that night, he'd been reluctant to leave Bridger's side at all.

Bridger wasn't sure what the episode he had was. He always had dreams about mom. He always heard her voice. But it was different this time. He could've died and it terrified him that his mind would allow that.

More days passed by and they were still on Poguelandia. Bridger thought things were getting better. He did everything to distract himself from what happened that night but he still got in his head, which JJ noticed a lot. "Alright baby, another day, another fish to catch."

The boyfriends gripped their spears and headed towards the water. "Yeah, hopefully we have a better day than yesterday when you tried getting Kiara to kill one," Bridger said and shot him a look.

JJ threw up his hand. "How was I supposed to know she'd keep missing?"

"Because it's Kiara. She can't kill wildlife."

The two of them looked below at the water, waiting to see a fish swim by. "There, I see one!" Bridger yelled when he spotted one and immediately stabbed his spear into the water. "Dammit, I missed!"

"Wait, wait, B, I see a skate. I see a skate!" JJ stammered upon seeing the animal in the water. "He sees me. He sees me."

"Right there! He's right there. Get him, J!"

"Got it. Got!" Shouted the blonde and he stabbed one of the fish. He pulled the spear out of the water and revealed the animal. "Yes!"

"Yes! That's my boy!" Bridger cheered and reached over, patting him hard on his bare back.

JJ spotted another skate swimming by their feet. "B, there's one right there! Get it!" He yelled. "He's by your feet!"

Seeing the creature swim by him, Bridger let out a grunt and he stabbed the skate. "Ha ha, got it!" He reveled and held up the spear with a big smile.

"Yeahhh, that's what I'm talking about, baby!" JJ cheered and the two of them quickly embraced.

"WHOO! Pogue style, babe!" The brunette laughed loudly.

"That's food in our bellies right here!"

"I hear cheerin' over here!" John B said loudly as he passed by them.

Bridger held up his peer with the skate on it. "Look at what we caught, big boy!" He yelled victoriously.

"Whoo-hoo. Couple of fishing experts, I see."
