"Amaryllis, you're shaking!" Haley said worriedly. She stopped abruptly in her step and searched through the food items for something to give her. "How inconsiderate of me! I've gone on this whole day without much tiredness, but I am ashamed to say it barely crossed my mind that you may be exhausted. You've hardly said a word about it!" She was genuinely sorry about it. The girl hadn't complained once and she had looked well enough, until now.
Aneurin knew the men had been following him, and for how long he wasn't sure; but once he was far enough from Amaryllis he had begun to constantly change directions, so slightly though that know one besides himself would realize it. Ryker would be furious when he once again found out that Aneurin had fooled him. Ryker alone had himself to blame, he made the mistake of giving Aneurin the DNA that made him the genius he was today.
(I'll reply to the other post later, the only reason I replied out of order was because I wanted to play out the post for Aralyn/Laurel before deciding what to reply with)

There would be no fooling the soldiers, they had a clear back trail based upon the satellite data of Anuerin's chip. From there, they'd bring in the scent takers who were specialized to follow the trail back to before they'd started tracking Anuerin's chip. But that would take time since the scent trail would be old. (
When the Humvee came to a stop sometime later, Ryker looked out the windshield with mounting anger at the deviousness of his son. Almost on autopilot, he opened the door and stepped out. He had his sidearm in place before he slipped his jacket on. Gram had informed him Anuerin was a short distance beyond the trees. Without any further communications, he started forward through the thick underbrush.

(Just incase, when Ryker catches up with Anuerin, please don't use a tranquilizer to knock him unconscious. To me atleast it's not fun or fair
Anuerin heard the Humvee driving nearby with his intensive hearing although he was far ahead of the driver who was unknowingly his father. For the past day he had been followed by men who thought their presence wasn't known to him, so even though he knew eventually his father would come for him, the fact that he was currently being followed was not odd. Besides, he wasn't sure how long it would be before he met his father's wrath; Ryker was, after all, a very busy man. Anuerin used this to his advantage.

( His sidearm is a real gun. It's for his personal protection. He doesn't fire it unless he absolutely needs to. No tranquilizers for this guy.
Ryker kept a vigilant eye as he navigated through the rough terrain. He wasn't taking a chance of an ambush for being caught off guard. He debated whether to call out to Anuerin or allow his movements to announce his approach. He decided on no vocalizations and preceded onwards.
