For more than a month, Mark Trail has been pursued by bad guys. For nearly a month, they have been firing at him and his pal Mississippi Ken. The bad guys should be running out of ammo any week now.

Whatr’s happened: Mark has discovered missing radioactive material in the Gulf of Mexico. Does he call the EPA? Or the Department of Homeland Security? No. He decides to “investigate”: after all, there’s a great magazine story in it. Now pursued by those with their own claim to the material, does he think to radio for help or use a cellphone? No, he and Ken have chosen to take their stand on a little island.

What would be the sound for that?
Where's the bear? Isn't there usually a bear?
There have been bears. There will be bears again. Here the enemies seem to be guys. So far. Maybe they’ll all be pursued by bears and bond.
I can't think of a clever answer---just,
CCrRRRRaaAAAAAACK!!!!
