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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAVKcre1clda
385Please respect copyright.PENANAiQYZY8wWeh
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANASyXQ0jsmJy
385Please respect copyright.PENANASV1wuN7jrC
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.385Please respect copyright.PENANAsa4loQT7Bv
385Please respect copyright.PENANADKqX6Vybkp
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."385Please respect copyright.PENANAR92POqLOiZ
385Please respect copyright.PENANA1MueFB7bmQ
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.385Please respect copyright.PENANAwKnvKw6aao
385Please respect copyright.PENANA7TOmmhTbzU
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAc1QDQ1u8YS
385Please respect copyright.PENANA0EJihJCuQt
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAKGuJSEvOrb
385Please respect copyright.PENANA5E0Y2iUW7z
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAQuH5hmXhU4
385Please respect copyright.PENANAMazF2fkquy
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAw9ZQmGyBOC
385Please respect copyright.PENANAKbKxaVwoFG
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.385Please respect copyright.PENANAhEkn5cOdYQ
385Please respect copyright.PENANADg9w50LegB
"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?"385Please respect copyright.PENANAWnCOPjRNkq
385Please respect copyright.PENANAQBITZw4jHH
"I have a full canteen still," I said.385Please respect copyright.PENANAnwTSwEmnkk
385Please respect copyright.PENANAtJp0CQ3BxJ
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAQK9GUrd7QY
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlWCAowHT3Q
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANASF5WsRZgqv
385Please respect copyright.PENANAxZsJvKon8F
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.385Please respect copyright.PENANAc156XcOj3P
385Please respect copyright.PENANAreEmIng2ai
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.385Please respect copyright.PENANA2pqV5MqZp2
385Please respect copyright.PENANAA5unHTsK08
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.385Please respect copyright.PENANAbAYPu7UW9c
385Please respect copyright.PENANA7c7UsiCwPP
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAs8EDCyCv1u
385Please respect copyright.PENANAaNZRLugUfH
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.385Please respect copyright.PENANAbsdMCRBgz8
385Please respect copyright.PENANANzxhlFfFJm
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.385Please respect copyright.PENANAztDTOx3nap
385Please respect copyright.PENANA2wjTLexgfx
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.385Please respect copyright.PENANAE0CVuoS9XX
385Please respect copyright.PENANALXWIsgWCZ3
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA5MWzMpIf38
385Please respect copyright.PENANAVu9kJVO9Hj
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAEynRHkdjPD
385Please respect copyright.PENANAXg5IAxFKDu
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.385Please respect copyright.PENANA1crnprYIJ7
385Please respect copyright.PENANAyNGItmefce
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAHfXKtus5R2
385Please respect copyright.PENANA7DQ7CGFRBy
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.385Please respect copyright.PENANA433XnqVj4b
385Please respect copyright.PENANAe8a4RXuLcA
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"385Please respect copyright.PENANA5b5f2ApmwB
385Please respect copyright.PENANA8mEA4HXnlo
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.385Please respect copyright.PENANAuyHHgZyeqd
385Please respect copyright.PENANA4BS6xvbTXk
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAPG0dcBPx7n
385Please respect copyright.PENANAf1NwXwT4JC
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAKl4tdI48JE
385Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bm2TCklTR
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANADw7RjyVtL4
385Please respect copyright.PENANAKW1a8D6D5O
"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."385Please respect copyright.PENANA2JQd9qf7PK
385Please respect copyright.PENANAQrm6r1SrCi
“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,"
385Please respect copyright.PENANAxv6ie9PYfM
"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.”385Please respect copyright.PENANAluQKoAheLd
385Please respect copyright.PENANA0BXdTZ1T1G
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.385Please respect copyright.PENANABizBMscAU4
385Please respect copyright.PENANAMp3CJVt8kw
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.385Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1kUTICjFt
385Please respect copyright.PENANALrvlbBDPv8
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.385Please respect copyright.PENANArm121KIo68
385Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3ukWfDoWg
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.385Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hc5Bpskp5
385Please respect copyright.PENANA6ILI675UUg
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAIol9izD3U1
385Please respect copyright.PENANAqLhoqO4HhT
"Lets check it out," said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAD7aQwkUj6G
385Please respect copyright.PENANAt8s1AQUNrb
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAOWyDgcrAa3
385Please respect copyright.PENANABi2vN4yhxU
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.385Please respect copyright.PENANAEWoo6OWttt
385Please respect copyright.PENANAODFIgTMOWJ
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAs02lJR9RRt
385Please respect copyright.PENANAdNyalqZGKp
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANAdF5zIYbXpm
385Please respect copyright.PENANAiGSlp1cHLA
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAAixQAkK3Gx
385Please respect copyright.PENANA04x05lRqTM
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.385Please respect copyright.PENANAWYk0H6CIe8
385Please respect copyright.PENANA6LfIvCoiUE
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAOHU6sNKhbF
385Please respect copyright.PENANAgvvnuAt46K
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAWYxl5MiqgH
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.385Please respect copyright.PENANAZju1I1owhZ
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAbXoB09v8Dl
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANA7bHVqrVGNp
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.385Please respect copyright.PENANAgAKDBo8gDH
385Please respect copyright.PENANAvlbx2lAlWU
"What do I do?" I asked.385Please respect copyright.PENANABJXPdQNqK0
385Please respect copyright.PENANAl0rlgQzaab
"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."385Please respect copyright.PENANAwbpPjsEvvw
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.385Please respect copyright.PENANAfDlcS98tjM
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANA1fhhu8eFF9
385Please respect copyright.PENANAtDIaJ5MFkg
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAIicouBR0Bp
385Please respect copyright.PENANAEziFsj98t2
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.385Please respect copyright.PENANAPlKuWrJ5Px
385Please respect copyright.PENANAbTSzopjkHF
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAdYtwKrZlx7
385Please respect copyright.PENANA2w44B0IsnX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------385Please respect copyright.PENANAoykfo4fzWM
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAKMZ6n2Tpqj
385Please respect copyright.PENANAD5FFgK6y8C
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 385Please respect copyright.PENANAWpyJm9yQ71
385Please respect copyright.PENANA8W1lbOOnZa
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.385Please respect copyright.PENANAh3i5vjVDKT
385Please respect copyright.PENANAqyszsj6pyK
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAz53Pr16hDu
385Please respect copyright.PENANANMmObqstQu
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.385Please respect copyright.PENANAL5dlRCqBLA
385Please respect copyright.PENANAYkIsZJvyDt
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAvhQQyo2Pk0
385Please respect copyright.PENANARxRh8HfFRP
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.385Please respect copyright.PENANAmsSsfO6Ntx
385Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ9gJ8wdh7
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAFgWUgzRO84
385Please respect copyright.PENANAHHu5UxmspY
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.385Please respect copyright.PENANAMjWWnsSs6i
"This is how," I said holding the tree.385Please respect copyright.PENANA6P1VUhjI5u
385Please respect copyright.PENANA36PGXn9PNn
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.385Please respect copyright.PENANA7gKzCiDGVL
385Please respect copyright.PENANAWvy9Tt6iRk
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA73kSkbLeIC
385Please respect copyright.PENANA37XUamICUI
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAkFCHh2YQBJ
385Please respect copyright.PENANA1OwgVw11xv
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."385Please respect copyright.PENANAROkxboP8SE
385Please respect copyright.PENANAehvT6M1AF3
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.385Please respect copyright.PENANAFSVgrAZ9CG
385Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yx9rd2FSM
"Makes sense," responded JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANALQt9gEg0n5
385Please respect copyright.PENANAAh7dfcxdlx
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.385Please respect copyright.PENANAQmzSgZiHq0
385Please respect copyright.PENANAQMO6V3Y1kZ
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA9oAkNWSD4o
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzqIiKo6OE8
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.385Please respect copyright.PENANAZubBLmMLl0
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlrrVw9bfkg
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.385Please respect copyright.PENANAEWHlj1SbYU
385Please respect copyright.PENANA7vZysCBMMZ
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."385Please respect copyright.PENANAvmSjv0SOHB
385Please respect copyright.PENANATkTi0f4EYt
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.385Please respect copyright.PENANABGIl1dQamu
385Please respect copyright.PENANA1qDWJTzHtl
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA6OJS5sW6fr
385Please respect copyright.PENANAceIlFSHEzL
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.385Please respect copyright.PENANAujwFkEqKyB
385Please respect copyright.PENANAIvSi67wTBM
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.385Please respect copyright.PENANAfDifw2S6UY
385Please respect copyright.PENANA5bTU7asG2x
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.385Please respect copyright.PENANAi24vAyRwIF
385Please respect copyright.PENANA2wHInyJAQi
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANATK5p5CwXjb
385Please respect copyright.PENANAoP7sJA4xxX
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.385Please respect copyright.PENANAygzq6KRL0J
385Please respect copyright.PENANA4smsoyNFXT
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANAgNlxtXV9bf
385Please respect copyright.PENANArPx0nRgmur
"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."385Please respect copyright.PENANAmQhf6Cpl24
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlxQYmcLXlJ
“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.”385Please respect copyright.PENANAQqG6oBIoOO
385Please respect copyright.PENANANUpnvy4qVt
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAkckspHiJdJ
385Please respect copyright.PENANAxmJWTAiwdW
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANAK6dajbxqGK
385Please respect copyright.PENANAYPZYsJGqAd
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.385Please respect copyright.PENANAWhc5nBYP6z
385Please respect copyright.PENANAcPyJJnxY7B
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAGGN6uux5B6
385Please respect copyright.PENANAadFd8jCXZX
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAptfTjcC1tg
385Please respect copyright.PENANAaztR7ZJqnJ
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAxHxx9LodSZ
385Please respect copyright.PENANAXLx55E14Dr
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAgNCyhU7Bf3
385Please respect copyright.PENANAgewqUzov1J
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.385Please respect copyright.PENANAD4temuwGER
385Please respect copyright.PENANAyGxhdb1blV
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAa4qAHnlRys
385Please respect copyright.PENANAblUNRAxblI
"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."385Please respect copyright.PENANAG893bDqAuV
385Please respect copyright.PENANAjW8Gm6Dhj6
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."385Please respect copyright.PENANAIIOxqwkT4u
385Please respect copyright.PENANAMGRNVxmw7D
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAihCFuM4EJI
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzX7x9W8YGl
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA9yPtY4gk2M
385Please respect copyright.PENANAlc2yx51gyA
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.385Please respect copyright.PENANAdawL8yXjGO
385Please respect copyright.PENANAx6GchUSAIA
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.385Please respect copyright.PENANAhn7mVPRUHh
385Please respect copyright.PENANAxQs9KGrakO
"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."385Please respect copyright.PENANApO14ji8xCQ
385Please respect copyright.PENANAUJK4OPBqSt
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.385Please respect copyright.PENANAGT4tj7udu9
385Please respect copyright.PENANArtJEsh2LKF
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.385Please respect copyright.PENANA0x1aIGWZ62
385Please respect copyright.PENANAjCTAbg6upI
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
385Please respect copyright.PENANAG3nDhO09Oy
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANAgjdnH8N7fQ
385Please respect copyright.PENANA2OivmbE5YQ
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA0oyD4wDQck
385Please respect copyright.PENANAgunDjov3SA
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.385Please respect copyright.PENANA5JdhgiurkF
385Please respect copyright.PENANABaIvGZSh2I
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.385Please respect copyright.PENANA0oxHlW3DXL
385Please respect copyright.PENANAMVsrH8ayjE
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANA6h5Y5QNp9w
385Please respect copyright.PENANAVoQebkKlIS
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.385Please respect copyright.PENANAAWAh42deoX
385Please respect copyright.PENANAeDHud3N8Dn
"The creek," I responded.385Please respect copyright.PENANAPT6iefvHJA
385Please respect copyright.PENANAjSZjmkN7Pj
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANARiRlZhkii9
385Please respect copyright.PENANAAAET766IFQ
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.385Please respect copyright.PENANAgUzbbw18Bc
385Please respect copyright.PENANAzPUJItOz2g
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.385Please respect copyright.PENANAHDZNRsj4G2
385Please respect copyright.PENANAj63KJONyyR
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANA158f6Sy7IQ
385Please respect copyright.PENANA6EplgtDYxp
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.385Please respect copyright.PENANAo95JEtYN47
385Please respect copyright.PENANArvRtXb8Q5p
"Do you like it?" he asked.385Please respect copyright.PENANAxl5X5JsLlu
385Please respect copyright.PENANAWKjI3yPan6
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.385Please respect copyright.PENANAA57t2Jf0C6
385Please respect copyright.PENANAtf8T3sqXTy
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANAOwl3zDPRL7
385Please respect copyright.PENANAIB5zw8Y7CB
"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.385Please respect copyright.PENANALsNVXKM9uL
385Please respect copyright.PENANAWTF8jMBxIP
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?"385Please respect copyright.PENANAoshxsS9Lf4
385Please respect copyright.PENANAvneMfSbvfH
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.385Please respect copyright.PENANAj2aHoUGtm7

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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAaljK80my4K

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.385Please respect copyright.PENANAwF4hnsFCNT

"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?”385Please respect copyright.PENANAfX5xFmLHp7
No one says anything so I go look for myself.385Please respect copyright.PENANAtKf4uX2HN3
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.385Please respect copyright.PENANAUWh5m6C94r
