Gathering the small group, Samantha started making the plan. Wandering through the woods aimlessly would only waste time, they needed some solid clue, so they googled various articles on Eagle behaviour and then decided that they had the best shot find Pablo near the rock cliffs at the far end of the forest, as eagles usually nest high – on cliffs or tall trees.
A flicker of hope sparked among the group. Finally, they had direction—a real path forward instead of aimless searching. Samantha adjusted her backpack straps, a quiet resolve settling in her chest. With Alex and her group of volunteers by her side, they set off toward the cliffs, hearts racing, nerves frayed with urgency.
