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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA6nOFLPZw8f
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0vF6Qn99SD
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAqLgxRfuig1
517Please respect copyright.PENANAv4DFODFTJC
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.517Please respect copyright.PENANAMjHgo4WeUp
517Please respect copyright.PENANANTRNfEEEPV
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."517Please respect copyright.PENANAChXeHSCeE1
517Please respect copyright.PENANAjOj4d9VCtT
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.517Please respect copyright.PENANAWGh7IhdDEj
517Please respect copyright.PENANAH9MKEsfgIC
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAUhBOLUZwNc
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbGT9X6p13b
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAaPaF0c532U
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbZxvK8vb9K
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA1EAHsll2Gw
517Please respect copyright.PENANARcUk64iV0n
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAnhLZyvKR6c
517Please respect copyright.PENANAURNrIaFKBN
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.517Please respect copyright.PENANA9TsZMizhlU
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7r5WThqrHV
"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?"517Please respect copyright.PENANAUyCAFsxnL5
517Please respect copyright.PENANAF0nBz5GCYB
"I have a full canteen still," I said.517Please respect copyright.PENANAYtpNZ8CMF4
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7A0fGN3WdC
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANATfAf3CpryK
517Please respect copyright.PENANANKFeiX1hDQ
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAXuwc60k9GT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAWsazI4N0lD
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.517Please respect copyright.PENANAivXNfvoeqg
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxu3EDl9yf5
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.517Please respect copyright.PENANAJURY6m7HpL
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkWy7gO2az8
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.517Please respect copyright.PENANAkEU0GWYOSz
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnIx9VRwGWb
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAJlUMs9QEDp
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQFlaczRyzI
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.517Please respect copyright.PENANAnZFjfYPM9H
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0IZE3KoSTs
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.517Please respect copyright.PENANArJrvdnjDG1
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoN08QvMg1e
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.517Please respect copyright.PENANAhbuplR3AoQ
517Please respect copyright.PENANARv2cGHePJs
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAUIJGJ09JMe
517Please respect copyright.PENANArPt8cOqC5p
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANANK5JgRGFyo
517Please respect copyright.PENANAusejO4MFeB
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.517Please respect copyright.PENANAEfZXQivoqB
517Please respect copyright.PENANApSU1LJYLKY
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANA7FUjSU5VRn
517Please respect copyright.PENANADTPY2htKw7
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.517Please respect copyright.PENANACnZdFTIfsp
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJHbrkAczkg
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"517Please respect copyright.PENANA4T2YfbQTXl
517Please respect copyright.PENANAXyjo0YyRHi
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.517Please respect copyright.PENANAb8VPntpJX9
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvAI9hvqNdw
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAtx04mwco51
517Please respect copyright.PENANAyN2TVkAuoE
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZE2CzjBzX
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3gHXCcnoJy
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANADLA6z81mic
517Please respect copyright.PENANAoTbZuKdiu6
"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."517Please respect copyright.PENANAWTwkhDZJ6E
517Please respect copyright.PENANAirlXdBbqYh
“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,"
517Please respect copyright.PENANAEEeKwiZrs4
"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.”517Please respect copyright.PENANABW9tqPemVt
517Please respect copyright.PENANABoNkc2UNHZ
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.517Please respect copyright.PENANADFl1sKK9CD
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5XLXJT2ZNR
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.517Please respect copyright.PENANAaDchTfIDcg
517Please respect copyright.PENANA01JPi45YHn
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.517Please respect copyright.PENANADgXZl4SoSA
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhROHXzb7Lf
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.517Please respect copyright.PENANAtzT6fpRbKC
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8w95GwWywG
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAYlF0CSxSRu
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIW1F7ePqUu
"Lets check it out," said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAGSbdJ49jY3
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5dxubGbc5g
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAr2R2AXIIu4
517Please respect copyright.PENANATbsNbQRvud
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.517Please respect copyright.PENANAJJC9N9XXIO
517Please respect copyright.PENANAObe4QJH42V
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAgI6RtEAZdn
517Please respect copyright.PENANADiPAmYL6R2
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANAMPOpxkpoJX
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtJxqRb9UZU
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAT05MxyuVj6
517Please respect copyright.PENANAd8WDEdJyWe
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.517Please respect copyright.PENANAcMgB74g85N
517Please respect copyright.PENANAbV20ztFVVB
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAklrDV46Mn3
517Please respect copyright.PENANAndKnD5iwdz
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAE9sb0MsLiG
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.517Please respect copyright.PENANATD5oZBhfAl
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANA77Miqc2nYO
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAOkF1V7DeUF
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.517Please respect copyright.PENANAdGoMFT8gWM
517Please respect copyright.PENANAgihjXsdvlw
"What do I do?" I asked.517Please respect copyright.PENANAupXtyvmcxD
517Please respect copyright.PENANANCpbufHDEr
"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."517Please respect copyright.PENANAJTsymtSios
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.517Please respect copyright.PENANA0TMAm3cAKW
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAYHooHaqzJK
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwGHD8QFhN6
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAV04aYlopUU
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeEI1qo8tVO
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.517Please respect copyright.PENANAp1BhYQsgTI
517Please respect copyright.PENANApgGhF6JIXC
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAIKTHzJ9Jac
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkhYQySq2t1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------517Please respect copyright.PENANAPq2F0TWXVZ
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAmbICvCqoDR
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtldp3rPcNy
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 517Please respect copyright.PENANAYeVp3A78Pk
517Please respect copyright.PENANAB0VwKFoEVk
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.517Please respect copyright.PENANAMCHUIY35y0
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1pPfyqb9Le
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ9P80FINj
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqgsFDF0RYn
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.517Please respect copyright.PENANAkBdesgHvVX
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxUevZVLFvc
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAUpxMvXkE0m
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2INgDmNvaS
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.517Please respect copyright.PENANAqv9dKwMbLz
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUcMljhJTNa
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAHOrJWxhi4o
517Please respect copyright.PENANAI8LgNNl8RT
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.517Please respect copyright.PENANAIcgAV5EiJs
"This is how," I said holding the tree.517Please respect copyright.PENANAKogHDI0Em3
517Please respect copyright.PENANADd5UIrfznV
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.517Please respect copyright.PENANADy0imcjZ7i
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUSDg3mVr1p
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAkyklRNvnLg
517Please respect copyright.PENANAw1M4itpAQP
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAxuL48SHqtr
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5jchPVLOp1
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."517Please respect copyright.PENANAzTw9WAUj6d
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdf372y9AHW
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.517Please respect copyright.PENANADl9HvduLWy
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1JjFzTf3Hc
"Makes sense," responded JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANAvzoSZ4Ss5Z
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYP8O5Zd2Vl
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.517Please respect copyright.PENANAf60D3ur66k
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5WKT47iQ45
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAuPdofo3C1c
517Please respect copyright.PENANAf3m8ALFqC0
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.517Please respect copyright.PENANAnVLYmAt1yB
517Please respect copyright.PENANAK6KXPgL2dE
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.517Please respect copyright.PENANAf7MExnPNez
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIabuyNqUhX
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."517Please respect copyright.PENANASpHEV2h6u9
517Please respect copyright.PENANAk14shXKse3
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.517Please respect copyright.PENANAizqUrrIJlZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANASTISHbtL0B
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA0B30AI1tVi
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc1taKGoGn7
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.517Please respect copyright.PENANA2ze02xuCuZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtrwQ1O1SRq
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.517Please respect copyright.PENANANYru6cV67a
517Please respect copyright.PENANApTrSY1XKjk
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.517Please respect copyright.PENANA6JU6IZ3Xl7
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKu96oaFhlp
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAABcEUCi3b1
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtmeROAU9S3
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.517Please respect copyright.PENANAv5Mg2Jz1Vg
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKoWhPvjvAq
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANAal9mU6TaDP
517Please respect copyright.PENANAiorQZ421eK
"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."517Please respect copyright.PENANAUmMmwmOWho
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ868eH7m5
“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.”517Please respect copyright.PENANAH6ueTTxgXJ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvadWFqVkaw
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAhEwkXGCHYG
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0C9d9WSLuu
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANANhQ466bi8X
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtSoSZHxJkX
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.517Please respect copyright.PENANAFhDLStwF50
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlSPEzfwjkS
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAZEAcQJTFJW
517Please respect copyright.PENANAVFPatnbZ9L
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANARBfjDj7l51
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxI7fy7b6Fo
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAPFTaWYuaqa
517Please respect copyright.PENANAlLJcxzq1yE
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAzQqcwQvQxZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqWZsFzVP7J
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.517Please respect copyright.PENANA3YqItH1N0K
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3QrC1KxrIe
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAVmHZZ0dw22
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsbrTuw39mJ
"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."517Please respect copyright.PENANAFoCPceWGvn
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHNKpIPFPEY
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."517Please respect copyright.PENANAw64KdfS5DM
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5uzAu3Tme3
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAuH2ZPNcBlm
517Please respect copyright.PENANAdNojyX1aHh
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA3oB5C1bCl8
517Please respect copyright.PENANAeVL2e953kD
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.517Please respect copyright.PENANA1OsusQqGTj
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtAna6W9Jcd
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.517Please respect copyright.PENANARrWYa2Jy27
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ3LzXAXc6
"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."517Please respect copyright.PENANA0DgQRhQw3b
517Please respect copyright.PENANAEnsvqBPTg9
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.517Please respect copyright.PENANACNa0Atw8Qw
517Please respect copyright.PENANA84jK0wjbd2
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.517Please respect copyright.PENANA5C5uoZxaql
517Please respect copyright.PENANACarxLnHNzH
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
517Please respect copyright.PENANAK2v5coN5pO
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANA5VLMEStC1V
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9sSiquJOXJ
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAo8CraBOyho
517Please respect copyright.PENANA9RHjuyECrd
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.517Please respect copyright.PENANAbtBFSzdV0w
517Please respect copyright.PENANAf5RlN9nIVd
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.517Please respect copyright.PENANAqUOHczc0mp
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q7SmX2boX
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmhBeHQfT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAc8JdgbtT6U
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.517Please respect copyright.PENANAIkCQpgN9ud
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzwKpyturHq
"The creek," I responded.517Please respect copyright.PENANAy0bciJnRnT
517Please respect copyright.PENANALJ8ElNOuHz
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAAIDBWNNtYV
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIXrqczR8JB
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.517Please respect copyright.PENANAitcWsAzq6k
517Please respect copyright.PENANAzxb0kCT6J6
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.517Please respect copyright.PENANAqWRKLjLVKW
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQhqVyiIyrd
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANAuXB7UI5iIq
517Please respect copyright.PENANA31pmmV2164
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.517Please respect copyright.PENANAVXSEIUoQKT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAj0AAWaCzfY
"Do you like it?" he asked.517Please respect copyright.PENANAZTYoiSK0T9
517Please respect copyright.PENANAkF09eZgUTg
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.517Please respect copyright.PENANAJhHoMKziuW
517Please respect copyright.PENANAICH5qhR6zT
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANAmYIrlK4Zgu
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUOlkiMlAUk
"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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAYZTlIOS5t5
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUNAr9NADDM
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?"517Please respect copyright.PENANARGjXv1ZQYx
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYc6n97gHrS
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.517Please respect copyright.PENANAvHvs3JSJQb

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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAszEPxKPqTQ

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.517Please respect copyright.PENANAn79W7UJMD7

"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?”517Please respect copyright.PENANAs7KJVAKT30
No one says anything so I go look for myself.517Please respect copyright.PENANA78uw65XSJ8
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.517Please respect copyright.PENANAXHRfO6udVI
