Sam heard the lizard thrashing in the snare well before he saw it. After making sure that no other predator had the squirming reptile in its sights, he hurried over to it. Half of the four foot long lizard was its tail, but even that was good enough for the stew pot.
Hefting his rifle, Sam stepped on the reptile's flailing body, then brought the butt of the gun down on its head. Bone crunched, ending the creature's struggling.
After resetting the snare Sam picked up his catch by its tail and turned toward camp. Something large crashing through the undergrowth stopped him in his tracks. Holding his rifle ready, Sam looked for whatever was approaching. Upon spotting Zelenka he lowered the rifle. "Hey, Radek," he called. "Get tired of the Bat Cave?"
Radek stopped, arrested first by the voice that teased him, then by the dead lizard in Sam's hand. "Very funny, Sam..." Although, almost belatedly, the scientist did find the teasing a little funny and a smile crept to his lips. He pushed his glasses up his nose, then shrugged "Actually, I was looking for the other scientists... got some interesting news for them."
In fact, the geek was almost bursting with news and was itching to get on with the display... but it wasn't polite to act like a child.
