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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAhZtAHhlDVu
382Please respect copyright.PENANA5pHpAJePuw
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAPEBWTzgzYd
382Please respect copyright.PENANANVcdGxiUVd
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.382Please respect copyright.PENANAglFwTXB0Ip
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWk20FAL864
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."382Please respect copyright.PENANAwKD0oz0WeR
382Please respect copyright.PENANAGs5nzoQSRL
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.382Please respect copyright.PENANAbPLMzIXhga
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3EJ4MsIeRm
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAJhAr6lRFB6
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0KdhZjkjDP
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAj01H2R4ZVq
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjwUsQ5OfTM
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAzx8NnGTGDF
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0HOPfHhc3t
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAmuAO0IXmwL
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOfbec8A1By
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.382Please respect copyright.PENANAzr0JCmo8oH
382Please respect copyright.PENANALRBTBYP75r
"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?"382Please respect copyright.PENANADiKFOL42Fx
382Please respect copyright.PENANATDxgccX7Dz
"I have a full canteen still," I said.382Please respect copyright.PENANA4QLpwe9gTL
382Please respect copyright.PENANAYaglR9Ob9s
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAImO4mZaUUa
382Please respect copyright.PENANAaTRm4EtMsP
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAKb6WglvIjP
382Please respect copyright.PENANAZcKfDBpQog
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.382Please respect copyright.PENANAxyd4J31Z3h
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1wRKlI2eF5
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.382Please respect copyright.PENANAtKEGziVhLw
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPyos18ey96
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.382Please respect copyright.PENANA6YUT7103Pj
382Please respect copyright.PENANAMkMRgMo3Zt
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAnSq6ykHqx7
382Please respect copyright.PENANApUiO8J4jDC
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.382Please respect copyright.PENANAgS02MocqJY
382Please respect copyright.PENANAfOHYvM9K4L
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.382Please respect copyright.PENANAsGB6mXgePY
382Please respect copyright.PENANAaioh7zZp3h
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.382Please respect copyright.PENANATmtrut05tf
382Please respect copyright.PENANA9aL2lIeJ4P
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANACybbqpt26M
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kjypo6GAx
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAOEvMUh02Fm
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqnhLjZ9o90
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.382Please respect copyright.PENANAtWgbM5Ryfm
382Please respect copyright.PENANAbCbY3UgOId
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAHtRAJB4j8a
382Please respect copyright.PENANAUOOoQ9SJAk
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.382Please respect copyright.PENANADYVQtZ1TLG
382Please respect copyright.PENANAgpQQndgyRJ
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"382Please respect copyright.PENANAG7UN4aHYGn
382Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ1Mns81Bv
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.382Please respect copyright.PENANAzd7xs7dJ7h
382Please respect copyright.PENANApDsb8l0ciM
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAFPU9Ic0xqV
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxYb5zrifAl
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANA38mvLbiAGB
382Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ddQ8MP0k
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAXUNjef5kT8
382Please respect copyright.PENANAk45sDuNn64
"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."382Please respect copyright.PENANA4fgv8saXds
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3DYhVztFjb
“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,"
382Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Csu6P8dg
"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.”382Please respect copyright.PENANAW1CCcOQfpR
382Please respect copyright.PENANAulW9C2SuJJ
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.382Please respect copyright.PENANAzgVvpPmfLH
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQE6EQMwCFr
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.382Please respect copyright.PENANA7kbECsghEw
382Please respect copyright.PENANAIVDEQyVg5y
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.382Please respect copyright.PENANABkvnHOTzgi
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPmadBt55Rh
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.382Please respect copyright.PENANAi9LskohSBe
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWnTG1dlN1X
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHJYyyBsY
382Please respect copyright.PENANAhl3rIWtMQG
"Lets check it out," said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANA7iBNZKzhpq
382Please respect copyright.PENANAByckKW6det
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAfCd0X3gsJq
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtAISRrnA0V
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.382Please respect copyright.PENANAs80Tmye4ec
382Please respect copyright.PENANAVQx0PKvac5
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAKnTr8Hf02n
382Please respect copyright.PENANAHSGvDQISA2
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANAqjA4WFODIp
382Please respect copyright.PENANANZx8PyH15l
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAuAOCYp9plJ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAvgfYm8Eqb5
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.382Please respect copyright.PENANAy8O0Uc68HU
382Please respect copyright.PENANAohFgOzBHz2
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Z3VjqlP1
382Please respect copyright.PENANASK2n3nBtqn
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAuTAjYIsgZM
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.382Please respect copyright.PENANA1xU1iBpIAL
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAz3BQCd4na6
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAmfMeYoTkSU
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.382Please respect copyright.PENANAuq3Wqfpqwh
382Please respect copyright.PENANAd8me2Imod1
"What do I do?" I asked.382Please respect copyright.PENANAGcvPaYSOGS
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAvmE1TzJfR
"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."382Please respect copyright.PENANANlvgmEItVg
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.382Please respect copyright.PENANAZHxoEwpVwE
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAQRjINGEo9i
382Please respect copyright.PENANAGCmePSI1XN
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAsQFVPakY6x
382Please respect copyright.PENANACdqiJvkfXD
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.382Please respect copyright.PENANAqsAmSZqswn
382Please respect copyright.PENANArlBceMFH5y
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANA4CJptb2uOF
382Please respect copyright.PENANAeIjl6ftgzz
--------------------------------------------------------------------------382Please respect copyright.PENANAImoPiBAzIa
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANApFKiYS1Kus
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOSlrTzjPUi
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 382Please respect copyright.PENANANOALWFwroX
382Please respect copyright.PENANArzonxYDOX5
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.382Please respect copyright.PENANAXyHtE07c4o
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1elPs3eMsF
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANANpFyyQLMke
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtLq9Lm3WoJ
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.382Please respect copyright.PENANAavGEuz1dzO
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtSrghcmcD0
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANA3QepYj4HnN
382Please respect copyright.PENANAYlj5W9umzQ
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.382Please respect copyright.PENANA7O9DtjvP3D
382Please respect copyright.PENANAZPWOOGXBQK
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAQb1QrcKYcJ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxUaXANQDkL
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.382Please respect copyright.PENANAy45TFMt4j6
"This is how," I said holding the tree.382Please respect copyright.PENANAYTcEHzif8x
382Please respect copyright.PENANArKiotnQx1y
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.382Please respect copyright.PENANAPKuk25FmDw
382Please respect copyright.PENANAutEoHbh6mI
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAVICBGAe8Rv
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKNJ6cNP9cQ
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAdHPR81Nn5y
382Please respect copyright.PENANARIhz8v7jGX
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."382Please respect copyright.PENANATM92YetzVV
382Please respect copyright.PENANAGAMZaNErNx
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.382Please respect copyright.PENANA9MReMC1fGQ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQQTtO4MLvC
"Makes sense," responded JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANAFgJpFO2NIm
382Please respect copyright.PENANAFywsbY7j1t
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.382Please respect copyright.PENANAmCzD4t6i0b
382Please respect copyright.PENANAHXQaYx6Mpl
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANA865Pvp2pC7
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOjCf81gqkv
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.382Please respect copyright.PENANAqcQMS2cC7g
382Please respect copyright.PENANAB8FY3inKWp
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.382Please respect copyright.PENANA6pgS5vUIrm
382Please respect copyright.PENANAL6PGNUMzbz
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."382Please respect copyright.PENANAtwZQuam4O8
382Please respect copyright.PENANA30JCBIZhJS
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.382Please respect copyright.PENANAzqygzjB2XT
382Please respect copyright.PENANAw4u1050Ayv
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAMtQakQ7LgN
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqG8Z0MToSU
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.382Please respect copyright.PENANARY7wWbdkiZ
382Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ50jIfH7D
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.382Please respect copyright.PENANA3oDueaatkz
382Please respect copyright.PENANAj1P06gqVkm
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.382Please respect copyright.PENANAp4bT5XQBkV
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOSIZl2KfQA
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANASzv45SloA1
382Please respect copyright.PENANAX8NHQXJr4D
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.382Please respect copyright.PENANAc4lMQnXNex
382Please respect copyright.PENANAl4BP3LvT1S
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANA4W6lqVszzR
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxLw3j7Z6k1
"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."382Please respect copyright.PENANAZ29TCNW9bf
382Please respect copyright.PENANAkL2vLYdW4h
“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.”382Please respect copyright.PENANAapEf4ZDlky
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPS1QHDcvo9
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAD6TRY1G4FO
382Please respect copyright.PENANAI0gsQzwxvR
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANAw130uf2PGj
382Please respect copyright.PENANApdv6ASNY4v
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.382Please respect copyright.PENANAwKupwqP825
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqHRAn6Uuz8
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANArP4orJMjdx
382Please respect copyright.PENANAgsipdNB7Ja
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAtFl5JEOQFg
382Please respect copyright.PENANA7GamtWOaZy
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAHnla4UDB7k
382Please respect copyright.PENANApgC5BPLySR
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAVsIsAdrb6X
382Please respect copyright.PENANAX4b7rB1E3P
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.382Please respect copyright.PENANADMgzinURUf
382Please respect copyright.PENANA80bGfunAPW
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAJxClcdvXLd
382Please respect copyright.PENANAq00aBGvtAI
"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."382Please respect copyright.PENANAbFD6HMUT4l
382Please respect copyright.PENANAH525rKPeJN
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."382Please respect copyright.PENANAVaxHkYnTEr
382Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfdDiu9t8
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANArl9nw4XWvO
382Please respect copyright.PENANAeGqWVSFqsO
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAqf4eZ8NKPT
382Please respect copyright.PENANAN0pcjIhmX1
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.382Please respect copyright.PENANAE5pzUPJSq2
382Please respect copyright.PENANAoMEnXgzXmo
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.382Please respect copyright.PENANAhbNqFGmQBX
382Please respect copyright.PENANASDVI9ipCBb
"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."382Please respect copyright.PENANA7wmM4OpHU8
382Please respect copyright.PENANADKEq0Zp1R5
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.382Please respect copyright.PENANApsMxFnT1SA
382Please respect copyright.PENANArcRR5Tm5NP
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.382Please respect copyright.PENANAqaD9402IGo
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3WGeZaZG7V
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3gH9UQuqx0
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANAnzBFweCUJf
382Please respect copyright.PENANAh1HjOQ6SAR
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANASqXI2Nuv8a
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxm3ds2U9MP
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.382Please respect copyright.PENANAiabp322fKx
382Please respect copyright.PENANAp0qjR50rz8
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.382Please respect copyright.PENANASw1Sfj9w41
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3sWYbfOSSz
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAtsGRNdEcDJ
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2L5ENzXKBV
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.382Please respect copyright.PENANAQPRZ3jQtKL
382Please respect copyright.PENANADyt8Ay6Bxi
"The creek," I responded.382Please respect copyright.PENANAIgVdwy23TO
382Please respect copyright.PENANAiXRXvTDEBf
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAHuPXM0A7Jc
382Please respect copyright.PENANA3OmFecmamV
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.382Please respect copyright.PENANAff9m0oUN9K
382Please respect copyright.PENANAuTkFbMOqYl
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.382Please respect copyright.PENANABOOpu5y5mM
382Please respect copyright.PENANATl7AsPWAoV
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANAt6m5d8HMMm
382Please respect copyright.PENANAOsMmwsbFBi
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.382Please respect copyright.PENANAPnQqrIMQDc
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjOTXYtoVKE
"Do you like it?" he asked.382Please respect copyright.PENANAnk7vGJbmOe
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjmqMtqmQOu
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.382Please respect copyright.PENANAkhMaSeInjc
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWZQrEEg7O8
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANAw7HnE16pYp
382Please respect copyright.PENANAv0kzW7iVpc
"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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAyNx8FaqHGY
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1IXTOFK2XG
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?"382Please respect copyright.PENANALCE0NdEn0g
382Please respect copyright.PENANAkoDXyizuQi
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.382Please respect copyright.PENANAbwBuJLm4v9

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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAXX47ERLBuu

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.382Please respect copyright.PENANAytHElBQNqa

"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?”382Please respect copyright.PENANA5LkmnUf1gm
No one says anything so I go look for myself.382Please respect copyright.PENANANb6wBRI4ZI
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.382Please respect copyright.PENANAdMgDKZ4j3Y
