I look up at the sky and notice the sun and moon will be switching shifts in a few hours. I normally wouldn't say anything but nights here are probably quite cool. There isn't a building or shelter in this forest and we didn’t come with proper clothing to keep us warm during the night. I would probably be fine because I'm used to the cold, but the others have me worried. I don't know where they’re from but I've narrowed it down my list to somewhere in the states.491Please respect copyright.PENANAaY9j2SR15Y
491Please respect copyright.PENANAyeLzq4Ofhn
Its already starting to cool down and I look over at Agent who is shivering like no tomorrow. I know its only going to get worse so I decide to speak up.491Please respect copyright.PENANAr4KT1dbgvj
491Please respect copyright.PENANArD1thVFDtb
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.491Please respect copyright.PENANAgMY0qgUVn0
491Please respect copyright.PENANAkhaMx7qiyI
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."491Please respect copyright.PENANAQOmEOoDyh7
491Please respect copyright.PENANAzm1NCFEKxd
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.491Please respect copyright.PENANAHUHbVziYm4
491Please respect copyright.PENANAZJzDQCJfLe
"There isn't much here we can use to make a camp. We need to find water, that is always the best place for camp," responded JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANANCuCVfOsMS
491Please respect copyright.PENANAQTR40GO3yy
"We can’t be overly picky. If we spend to much time to find the perfect spot, then we wont be ready for the night. But I agree this spot isn't good," I said.491Please respect copyright.PENANAa9g2frBuah
491Please respect copyright.PENANAIhjE55uDcv
Agent shoves his canteen to his mouth and throws the bottom up for a sip. Then he realized that he already drank it all. This reminds me that I have water that I can’t for the life of me remember if I drank any yet. I shake my canteen and heavy weight and minimal swishing proves that its full.491Please respect copyright.PENANA28tuqVktN9
491Please respect copyright.PENANAZJOSqFQXut
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAiTGWUMnFIJ
491Please respect copyright.PENANAAZS6g7OBOt
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.491Please respect copyright.PENANAjenIFJHXTm
491Please respect copyright.PENANApKFpOAYAmY
"You have to ration your water wisely Agent. I still have half a canteen left," said JJ, "but does anyone have a surplus of water that they can share with Agent?"491Please respect copyright.PENANAI97Oxs4ldM
491Please respect copyright.PENANAVERX7os0oX
"I have a full canteen still," I said.491Please respect copyright.PENANAtOnO0kZpVY
491Please respect copyright.PENANA7z4TyhEWs2
"Breaker give me some please. You still have a full canteen," said Agent trying to be sincere but I still here the demand in his voice.491Please respect copyright.PENANAKiOa1Motoo
491Please respect copyright.PENANA4lm75YuSVS
I would have given him some if he asked it in a better way. He sounded moderately sincere but his wording pissed me off. He isn't good with words which was apparent the moment I met him. Now I'm obligated to teach him a lesson.491Please respect copyright.PENANA79Tmca5zd4
491Please respect copyright.PENANA7pjc4jRWBw
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.491Please respect copyright.PENANAJrry4A5OCK
491Please respect copyright.PENANAXIdbtxABbS
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.491Please respect copyright.PENANAX4GHUseb2j
491Please respect copyright.PENANAoxRDaMtVlB
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.491Please respect copyright.PENANAwnoM4btLdO
491Please respect copyright.PENANA36EHPdmRTc
At this point I'm just trying to piss him off and I'm confident I wont fail. Implying that Agent is stupid is the easiest and best way to get under his skin. Agent likes to think of himself being a very intelligent individual and isn't very open when people question that. I’m not saying he’s not, because he is a smart person, but not in all the ways he thinks.491Please respect copyright.PENANA1g1Q8ks8a2
491Please respect copyright.PENANA9EcdXsCvaH
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.491Please respect copyright.PENANA6EjGjDKkG6
491Please respect copyright.PENANAWsv8Oyr2vK
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.491Please respect copyright.PENANAbujhRXbgeX
491Please respect copyright.PENANAYwWadtmmWr
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.491Please respect copyright.PENANAEfxBB6VRsH
491Please respect copyright.PENANAe47UKz51Qq
The canteen bounces off Agents shoulder and lands on the ground. Agent looks at the canteen and looks back at me. I can tell that he wants to say more but he holds back, which is a good idea for him. He wouldn't stand a chance in a verbal battle against me.491Please respect copyright.PENANAZNf0Bc7p7k
491Please respect copyright.PENANAd5T9Edu3z0
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ9W27oWLI
491Please respect copyright.PENANA5iII2ayUIQ
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.491Please respect copyright.PENANA80HK4Rxhcd
491Please respect copyright.PENANAtLRCpsp8o6
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAVzpw73yTW8
491Please respect copyright.PENANAklmeR1zQdH
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.491Please respect copyright.PENANAFHTE1BhG5g
491Please respect copyright.PENANAFL2q55nC9G
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"491Please respect copyright.PENANAQLmvgNh0ps
491Please respect copyright.PENANAqaBisg6pXU
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.491Please respect copyright.PENANAMgkZ0WJjEb
491Please respect copyright.PENANAezYqshcuhD
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAcuLkzCoicU
491Please respect copyright.PENANANUOnWixmqT
I have a feeling JJ knows I’m trying to teach Agent and is actually going along with it. Me and JJ seem to be able to read each other as if we had twin telepathy or something.491Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ASsHgKoV
491Please respect copyright.PENANA8qPfLfOPjZ
"He just gave you some because he likes you more! No one is ever on my side! No one ever Defends me! People are always bias and defend the person they like, which is never me!" Snapped Agent with more emotion than I was going for. I must have triggered something more then just anger.491Please respect copyright.PENANAgzPHxJul01
491Please respect copyright.PENANAnCkHzNaeTt
"Agent you just don't know how to act or talk in these situations,” said JJ smoothly trying to calm Agent. “Its hard to explain, you will have to learn on your own. I think being around people like me and breaker will really help this."491Please respect copyright.PENANAoSrYJUrPuS
491Please respect copyright.PENANA7J2rTCuZlp
“I wasn't aggressive or anything when I asked Breaker,” defended Agent firmly. “I said please and everything and he still said no. He just hates me,"
491Please respect copyright.PENANAY9OZBkGLhs
"Here’s a hint Agent,” I said. “Just because you said please and sounded sincere doesn't mean you weren't aggressive. There is more to communicating than manners.”491Please respect copyright.PENANAE2JVPkRCE7
491Please respect copyright.PENANA8sABvJ9epS
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.491Please respect copyright.PENANAyGPBogn1rc
491Please respect copyright.PENANAucERrabEBI
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.491Please respect copyright.PENANApzGVLkgwgK
491Please respect copyright.PENANAMcVodpi8sO
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.491Please respect copyright.PENANACSRRRCXsdt
491Please respect copyright.PENANACwwL2tfXsk
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.491Please respect copyright.PENANAsH4eL5SBlk
491Please respect copyright.PENANAMpFeqql2Du
"I went to look for a spot when Breaker and Agent started fighting, just on the other side of the bush there is a great spot for a camp," said Sean pointing to a bush.491Please respect copyright.PENANAQwB7x4T5e6
491Please respect copyright.PENANANsxVN6vJBx
"Lets check it out," said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANA92eeQ8hjPq
491Please respect copyright.PENANAuNMKfHYPE3
We walk over to the place Sean was talking about and inspected the area. There is a steady flowing creek that is clear enough to see the bottom, which is only a few feet from the surface. The ground is relatively flat other than the abundance of dead trees perfect for fire wood. Standing out from everything else, a giant rock that forms a big cave-like shelter from the rain that could easily fit all of us in it.491Please respect copyright.PENANAD53wvhF1bp
491Please respect copyright.PENANAkK4cQHO1OK
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.491Please respect copyright.PENANAHcK7HaHVwm
491Please respect copyright.PENANAleS9OOnYt7
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAKEMZTM8Fap
491Please respect copyright.PENANA574qkAeGAi
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANAJmP5RmMWUF
491Please respect copyright.PENANAsdJ3IA5hlP
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANABnLc7q8qM9
491Please respect copyright.PENANAUG8B0PFA6I
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.491Please respect copyright.PENANADFSTWh4W6q
491Please respect copyright.PENANAH9sIaNOgDM
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANADLoIo6Iass
491Please respect copyright.PENANAa98gglZqdF
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y0yyGbRpP
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.491Please respect copyright.PENANAUHrs3R1lEt
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAKBAyXi7fwA
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANADTnOSLtQ4H
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.491Please respect copyright.PENANAQIaiVpUFXM
491Please respect copyright.PENANAcgZXgPw085
"What do I do?" I asked.491Please respect copyright.PENANAoVqGXbvp8K
491Please respect copyright.PENANAas73RZ0NnI
"Breaker, your hunting with me," said JJ picking up Agents silenced rifle. "you can bring Andrews gun, we don't want to make more noise then we need to. Also, id like to avoid a mess."491Please respect copyright.PENANAWvnw5LsNj6
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.491Please respect copyright.PENANADohnQuZkPh
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAQH1jwHAiFg
491Please respect copyright.PENANAdfLUCQVNP1
Andrew tosses me his rifle and I catch it with my right hand. Then with my left hand, I throw my browning to him and the weight of it almost puts him on his ass.491Please respect copyright.PENANAUUPqXIEqJI
491Please respect copyright.PENANAqcPHaMHvhe
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.491Please respect copyright.PENANAvjGP3IL2gg
491Please respect copyright.PENANAOUeapZ8Rsa
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAwOFQge6hg5
491Please respect copyright.PENANA2JZiA6J5es
--------------------------------------------------------------------------491Please respect copyright.PENANApPOb5XxtbI
After ten minutes of walking in the forest I look at the sun and see that we only have a couple hours left. We need food and we need it soon. I could go days without food but I can’t speak for the rest of the guys.491Please respect copyright.PENANAqT9RKNwAzV
491Please respect copyright.PENANACcz8mUyuby
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAsUqENULnAZ
491Please respect copyright.PENANATxCKsBzYPW
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.491Please respect copyright.PENANAayCBWiQ4St
491Please respect copyright.PENANAl9tvrVkeED
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANALAD2UekXby
491Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ983H89Y2
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.491Please respect copyright.PENANAqyTUuaxE5m
491Please respect copyright.PENANAxlanBKZu3e
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q1hllJgen
491Please respect copyright.PENANAotZvgAa3fD
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.491Please respect copyright.PENANAHOsI5FcEt9
491Please respect copyright.PENANAZK2JVPue97
"So, how the fuck are we going to move this back to camp. Its too heavy for one of us to carry and too awkward for us both to carry it," said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAfF4lnGucBV
491Please respect copyright.PENANAbX0FEE7G4B
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.491Please respect copyright.PENANAWB9akoZZu9
"This is how," I said holding the tree.491Please respect copyright.PENANAlcRf2Q1zrZ
491Please respect copyright.PENANANONAXbLoxu
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.491Please respect copyright.PENANAIT21QU1Slw
491Please respect copyright.PENANACpFx7bjqns
JJ follows my lead and does the same for the other two legs with Agents rile strap. Then I put the tree in between the legs but under the straps. I lift one end of the tree on my shoulder while JJ stands there.491Please respect copyright.PENANAX3rV2ZJyXE
491Please respect copyright.PENANArhZ3i5DUNz
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAixLjAkJdYM
491Please respect copyright.PENANAlnA1zgpB1r
JJ picks up the other end and the Elk dangles upside down with the straps keeping it on the tree. I draw my katana from my back and cut the elks throat. JJ gives me a discussed look, "That’s fucking nasty."491Please respect copyright.PENANAALOmwwDyg3
491Please respect copyright.PENANAWZqpEzl5xr
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.491Please respect copyright.PENANA8MFY1PmcWY
491Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZgQtxZqda
"Makes sense," responded JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1W2FJQPF3
491Please respect copyright.PENANAVnJmlFCMu9
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.491Please respect copyright.PENANAk1koVEBlV8
491Please respect copyright.PENANA9ztZypc8Kb
We arrive at the camp and see a decent stack of wood, also the sides of the rock are covered by ferns. All of the guys are staring at me and JJ with the elk as if we were gods.491Please respect copyright.PENANAa4R64qBPDH
491Please respect copyright.PENANATPUTumzdnI
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.491Please respect copyright.PENANA8G7AG7kchA
491Please respect copyright.PENANAxQYIDaOH6W
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.491Please respect copyright.PENANA7kdJrdoHUc
491Please respect copyright.PENANAIGnoeDhDoR
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."491Please respect copyright.PENANAb48hv9HJlc
491Please respect copyright.PENANAMg3t2rHcuq
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.491Please respect copyright.PENANATnDgRmvyj4
491Please respect copyright.PENANA4wOcTPMZwG
"There is a saying where I'm from. If your wood pile looks big enough, get four times more. So ill start a fire while you guys get more wood," I said.491Please respect copyright.PENANAgH7RndTu5g
491Please respect copyright.PENANAkMgePmSknF
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.491Please respect copyright.PENANAHTMbgPWiO6
491Please respect copyright.PENANA76pCUceO3z
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.491Please respect copyright.PENANAJo8dmKBRuH
491Please respect copyright.PENANANR8nGnlLK3
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.491Please respect copyright.PENANAhIkVV30Gm8
491Please respect copyright.PENANAFk60AFQFKb
JJ lets out a huge sign, but says nothing. He sets his end of the tree down and goes off to do something, I’m not really sure what. I set down my end of the tree and get started on the fire.491Please respect copyright.PENANAIlQf3TMU6A
491Please respect copyright.PENANAsJeIkytGGn
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.491Please respect copyright.PENANA1pOg1X7YRZ
491Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ0QvSuuFh
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANAUqTRHLDoMa
491Please respect copyright.PENANAAMuLdw4xtD
"Well no one offered to give me a lighter so I'm looking for a flint rock," I said while picking up a rock. "actually, this is what I'm looking for."491Please respect copyright.PENANAyA8XAoyEHy
491Please respect copyright.PENANAx2cvXBYUR0
“You actually know how to use a flint too Breaker?” asked Sean noticing I’ve shown a few of my tricks, “you must be a master survivalist back at home.”491Please respect copyright.PENANAsMMpTWE6K9
491Please respect copyright.PENANAKx0XBvvHih
"Breaker is a typical lumberjack. He has the knowledge of nature and surviving, Its in his blood. Though he probably hasn’t ever actually needed to use them until today," said JJ carrying a stack of firewood, jumping into the conversation.491Please respect copyright.PENANA23PRxpY020
491Please respect copyright.PENANAGhFytoueUD
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANA3xC3zRXLb0
491Please respect copyright.PENANAYvo4NMw265
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.491Please respect copyright.PENANAhuPvJFPGO8
491Please respect copyright.PENANAZ56CAHoG3D
I walk over to the wood tipi that I made and start striking the flint-rock to my katana causing sparks to fly. directing a decent spark to the tinder bundle is my goal here, unfortunately JJ is right. I’ve never actually done this. Only been shown for cultural purposes.491Please respect copyright.PENANATW4TZb7DY1
491Please respect copyright.PENANA83wcQ2NebS
After twenty minutes of sparking I finally get the ember I need to start a fire. I start to blow on the glowing ember ever so lightly, making it glow brighter. The ember starts to smoke and I blow a little harder. I can feel the heat from the ember on my face, its almost there. I give one last breath and the bundle ignites. I put the burning bundle in the tipi and watch the flames grow.491Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQA0NRkdp
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3nvkI0qOkJ
Its odd how a small thing like a fire can help a situation so much. Its not only a heat and light source in the night, but mental relief as well. It gives a vibe that makes you feel safe.491Please respect copyright.PENANAjlpxAOk1er
491Please respect copyright.PENANA93boY91p9H
Kyle, being the only one around me, gets to see the fire first. he looks amazed for some reason, he looks like I just used some sort of witch craft to start the fire.491Please respect copyright.PENANAkYl1IwFhzn
491Please respect copyright.PENANAIO0UtGIzLy
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.491Please respect copyright.PENANAjtuL6D3Ilv
491Please respect copyright.PENANAFECNI954RH
So that makes two people who know and I'm impressed that Kyle was the second one. I’m guessing Sean will be that last one despite the heavy hints he's been given.491Please respect copyright.PENANASZObVMl76Q
491Please respect copyright.PENANAq5hvBKRJmD
"Impressive, you know my secret. But," I whispered into Kyle's ear, "don't tell anyone, see how long it takes the others to find out."491Please respect copyright.PENANAAaRZDT1TxR
491Please respect copyright.PENANAA3JnDro858
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."491Please respect copyright.PENANAX5zS937HXX
491Please respect copyright.PENANAfjS3TY5Xn7
Agent and Andrew arrive with more firewood and their eyes light up like lightbulbs when they see the fire burning in front of our shelter.491Please respect copyright.PENANAGDwIoEdThY
491Please respect copyright.PENANAyCtOLOeopF
Agent runs up to the fire dropping the wood he was carrying. He puts his hands close to the flames trying to warm them up.491Please respect copyright.PENANAPJIBsxJF4u
491Please respect copyright.PENANAuUblmkp4hH
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.491Please respect copyright.PENANA8zjA0XTJ4j
491Please respect copyright.PENANANcCkWVehfM
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.491Please respect copyright.PENANAhJXesGrbWE
491Please respect copyright.PENANAAkk4qHZzPG
"Ha! I knew it! You live in Canada! Metric system has blown your cover!" Said Agent in a surprisingly playful way. "but anyways I'm from Florida, so this is cold to me."491Please respect copyright.PENANATuaeImzrHw
491Please respect copyright.PENANAqla9lRoTos
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.491Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z2m9g2FU9
491Please respect copyright.PENANACXTauMbRtV
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.491Please respect copyright.PENANApV3UhrxSia
491Please respect copyright.PENANAvG6SMC8IzU
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
491Please respect copyright.PENANAzUCHLweJ5z
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANAbOG3jxot0W
491Please respect copyright.PENANAdltvdP9clR
"I’m from Mississippi so this cold is making my nipples hard as fuck," said Destroyer in his usual loud voice as he sits by the fire next to Agent.491Please respect copyright.PENANAYuTFKyhTaT
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3tkUOZcnds
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.491Please respect copyright.PENANA60VuB8ykhU
491Please respect copyright.PENANATrk3wlL8ft
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.491Please respect copyright.PENANAer9w9NxuRK
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3NB2ZcVc9c
Ignoring Andrew and Destroyer I go over to the tree still holding the elk and pick up one end. I wait for someone to pick up the other end to help me carry it over to the creek for cleaning. Kyle turns out to be the nice guy to come over and help me.491Please respect copyright.PENANAHlOgofm7DU
491Please respect copyright.PENANAPzCR7JrNiW
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.491Please respect copyright.PENANAQcOFFAVaA2
491Please respect copyright.PENANA7XOFGax7p6
"The creek," I responded.491Please respect copyright.PENANAheC85qD8xi
491Please respect copyright.PENANAHfzVgKj8lg
We take the elk over to the creek and place it to the side. I draw my katana and cut it open at the belly. First, I take out the internal organs and put them aside. Second, I very carefully start to skin the elk, I messed up a couple times and it has a couple of cuts but its still in one piece. Third I hang up the hide to dry and harden in the sun. Fourth I cut the elk meat into strips for easy cooking. Fifth, I wash the blood off the meat and my hands afterword’s. And lastly, I just need to find something to hold these over the fire at the right height.491Please respect copyright.PENANAFB1xTs7Gsa
491Please respect copyright.PENANAesvs0Rt6E3
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.491Please respect copyright.PENANA06eu1ISTOz
491Please respect copyright.PENANAeKpaec2hfO
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.491Please respect copyright.PENANAmYxzmA7Yqu
491Please respect copyright.PENANAMIOjq6kXru
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANAxKxLUtwPWW
491Please respect copyright.PENANAt8y15Kzud9
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.491Please respect copyright.PENANAzkxZSLqJfg
491Please respect copyright.PENANAYH9bvnmmGA
"Do you like it?" he asked.491Please respect copyright.PENANAauvFyUSmhP
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3GLXaEP50K
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.491Please respect copyright.PENANAdriZZcCbIj
491Please respect copyright.PENANA06y6CuXcd9
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANAI72VYgsBLw
491Please respect copyright.PENANAhTEmAQzQcp
"Normally yes, but I’m going to smoke cook it to dry it out. Then it should last anywhere from two weeks to two months depending on how well its done," I responded.491Please respect copyright.PENANAlgIKSa2AGf
491Please respect copyright.PENANAuAbWEroRxM
Sean sits beside me and watches me lay the meat on the grill he made. After a few moments of silence, Sean says in a low tone, "Breaker. Are we going to get rescued? Or are they going to let us die here?"491Please respect copyright.PENANA8BE6VkAZzn
491Please respect copyright.PENANALmWmWa0vmB
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.491Please respect copyright.PENANAOgXELdvU1p

Sean looks at his feet and opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I realize that the wind has been getting colder over the past couple minutes.491Please respect copyright.PENANAUW10p2zz1j

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.491Please respect copyright.PENANA65SuZpCo1X

"Last I saw him he was here at the fire, but that was before I cleaned the elk," I said. "He is probably keeping out of the wind. Did anyone check in the shelter?”491Please respect copyright.PENANAtn5pxOipYC
No one says anything so I go look for myself.491Please respect copyright.PENANAVIheEmZjQE
I rush to the shelter and see Agent curled up in a ball shaking like a crack addict. Despite his darker skin his face is white like snow and I can hear his teeth chattering from here. Shit, this isn’t good, the sun is almost fully down and the temperature will likely drop below freezing. I fear the sudden weather change has taken a tole on Agents immune system. We have to act quick, you know we’re in trouble when our biggest enemy on German soil is Mother Nature.491Please respect copyright.PENANAMnrDxFHPBE
