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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAFHt9O9ecmR
519Please respect copyright.PENANACKrV8lnYQR
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANARFV5nTZaHT
519Please respect copyright.PENANA2UFcKgMcPI
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.519Please respect copyright.PENANAE8UU0OcWSB
519Please respect copyright.PENANATjwcLiLkV1
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."519Please respect copyright.PENANA1SKzQiDLfG
519Please respect copyright.PENANAyQhJ0g1dmj
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.519Please respect copyright.PENANAuo4oY3BbiN
519Please respect copyright.PENANAMuumzFUp36
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAtqqu176Zcm
519Please respect copyright.PENANAp9JdD9bv7t
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAYlzKnDPVUL
519Please respect copyright.PENANA2MCT0B29AT
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANA8uBvAtsTpB
519Please respect copyright.PENANA7lPgkEKITu
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAavANC2SYmG
519Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2a6KczXZX
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.519Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ZZlWG8Vv
519Please respect copyright.PENANA3wkM2gDNCp
"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?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAOYzfjq9WRw
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGOfWhE0Vlw
"I have a full canteen still," I said.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7aDZ0pf9Cj
519Please respect copyright.PENANA2yIPVNCmE6
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANA51drAyPvUh
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFyAtUQofGC
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAetFAaWVQ1B
519Please respect copyright.PENANACgOFiBEaUe
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.519Please respect copyright.PENANAi8QpAsHCy9
519Please respect copyright.PENANAspLZqGE6Ep
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.519Please respect copyright.PENANALILmm8y1Oi
519Please respect copyright.PENANAo4vZwqUl2B
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.519Please respect copyright.PENANAaQf6qMXaer
519Please respect copyright.PENANAzBcvuF6imk
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAjDCOQ6ktNd
519Please respect copyright.PENANAOu6PB87OvZ
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7FdVidkQQc
519Please respect copyright.PENANAhN5miTXgjY
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.519Please respect copyright.PENANAo2wciSkO85
519Please respect copyright.PENANAKxTSxrQLQM
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.519Please respect copyright.PENANARiLsyfan0z
519Please respect copyright.PENANA4FFr4aq7vL
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAU8nCibgKeT
519Please respect copyright.PENANAx8kEyhAJ5x
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAiiNcigKIQ5
519Please respect copyright.PENANAPRCjSGcn7h
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.519Please respect copyright.PENANANYweWoJ9Hs
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFB7w0BI5my
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAbTimoeOo7r
519Please respect copyright.PENANAlLjV0yqqC6
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.519Please respect copyright.PENANAnNd5O7ogom
519Please respect copyright.PENANANdWkcdkKbt
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAl10dcc8fGk
519Please respect copyright.PENANAjUqlxvxoMp
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.519Please respect copyright.PENANA1CamhEZ9rh
519Please respect copyright.PENANAnsMTxWe7jE
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANADJeSMV5bA2
519Please respect copyright.PENANAhAJqbfcTPf
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAfuJV861Jv8
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYjArrTRe0l
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAgzPxt96FTY
519Please respect copyright.PENANA4A08fFJj3K
"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."519Please respect copyright.PENANAH4qjRMsjjU
519Please respect copyright.PENANA00r3RtuoF4
“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,"
519Please respect copyright.PENANAeiCBbzxUrt
"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.”519Please respect copyright.PENANA46MFQWP1o5
519Please respect copyright.PENANA7UgtEDS2Aq
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.519Please respect copyright.PENANAhp5PwR6rt9
519Please respect copyright.PENANArtnNRVjvvZ
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.519Please respect copyright.PENANAS1mZgUVX0M
519Please respect copyright.PENANA8h6wyaImx0
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.519Please respect copyright.PENANAj10tH7cCge
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGjuTC8YZKQ
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.519Please respect copyright.PENANAxl0IGnGi8F
519Please respect copyright.PENANAwggS09lbck
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAMVUZExYO2S
519Please respect copyright.PENANA6gxOfS8QiF
"Lets check it out," said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANALpHmVXrsME
519Please respect copyright.PENANAcE6z7ivFmy
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAvfEBJqb8MO
519Please respect copyright.PENANAV446mooiC2
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.519Please respect copyright.PENANACwd5xAx0KD
519Please respect copyright.PENANAWqsXxNwEDB
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAFmBBXD3D4M
519Please respect copyright.PENANACcoi2mmsD8
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANA4mkw1JWAGS
519Please respect copyright.PENANABozQKmWROn
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANA6K7gnGDw52
519Please respect copyright.PENANADupHN6h1LE
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.519Please respect copyright.PENANAsZAAlZpzH8
519Please respect copyright.PENANAaO1edTFq28
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANADLMYhh31nM
519Please respect copyright.PENANAPsOHxcqhL4
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAimydCbbM2S
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.519Please respect copyright.PENANAWjjdZ6TqEC
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAuU0aJg3eOV
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAPz8avYo0Vd
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.519Please respect copyright.PENANArlWM9epQ1t
519Please respect copyright.PENANAhY3XXhjTEG
"What do I do?" I asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANA2gT1Q1SqC6
519Please respect copyright.PENANAlXsL7hvGfn
"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."519Please respect copyright.PENANASKHwB7N1at
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANAutp7PluNmS
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAxDEK0z8Iq4
519Please respect copyright.PENANA9RnNMlQhDl
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAQxpveoOyE3
519Please respect copyright.PENANAslp4joWe12
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.519Please respect copyright.PENANAwL5ekLa1uW
519Please respect copyright.PENANAmomc5aLiAW
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAQtFPCP3lXT
519Please respect copyright.PENANAY5sgShgkA5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------519Please respect copyright.PENANAmVykxae1ho
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAVdsqbwP2ue
519Please respect copyright.PENANA09dCVdnG4K
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 519Please respect copyright.PENANAMpDO5d1RkO
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxLPxafzGgh
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.519Please respect copyright.PENANAzoxQLEWAHx
519Please respect copyright.PENANA0igg5uYP2E
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAFCGSUKBHml
519Please respect copyright.PENANAObOXmWqt7I
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.519Please respect copyright.PENANAjDFT8V8hxU
519Please respect copyright.PENANAH2NWmUKVip
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAvJMZ8sKmQz
519Please respect copyright.PENANA3YcAPjxB3C
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.519Please respect copyright.PENANAeiDidmzWJc
519Please respect copyright.PENANAWNe5f5kaaC
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAOXrayuzFSA
519Please respect copyright.PENANA8MSjSbQIyp
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.519Please respect copyright.PENANA1zyAglycKI
"This is how," I said holding the tree.519Please respect copyright.PENANAhN9UPtSjWI
519Please respect copyright.PENANAPKp5Z17aFr
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.519Please respect copyright.PENANAZNf9z5nEEc
519Please respect copyright.PENANAqCAhzhuVbI
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAdAG4K0Dsq9
519Please respect copyright.PENANAn9SurkSZF4
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANA5ipExU64T6
519Please respect copyright.PENANAP1yyG3IDdP
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."519Please respect copyright.PENANABsE81K66g6
519Please respect copyright.PENANAKU7tU1asvt
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.519Please respect copyright.PENANAlkk2ph4Elf
519Please respect copyright.PENANAi3btiKZg45
"Makes sense," responded JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAlffZmRpBy4
519Please respect copyright.PENANAaN22ug0WlT
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.519Please respect copyright.PENANAB3GZ1Dgq9w
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ4tJ7hHuB
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAor9DQwmNaD
519Please respect copyright.PENANAqQf7EBakQs
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.519Please respect copyright.PENANAqGFOgn4z8S
519Please respect copyright.PENANA5asyhM6woI
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.519Please respect copyright.PENANAJqEkIbg9bK
519Please respect copyright.PENANA65F6Hgbt4K
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."519Please respect copyright.PENANAwEYFEj3A40
519Please respect copyright.PENANA2nqUpYUZD2
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.519Please respect copyright.PENANA8zYgkFcQMa
519Please respect copyright.PENANADO8kka0FfC
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANA8APLlLTA6j
519Please respect copyright.PENANAbdk3KarVoi
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.519Please respect copyright.PENANA40ZcudT8zW
519Please respect copyright.PENANAlqAtVk967R
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANARwqJP5hMwZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAsOmroXo9MO
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.519Please respect copyright.PENANA3OM5aOzUiZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAnYJF2w3kNj
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAijYZks3Knt
519Please respect copyright.PENANAHbjshD2Q26
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.519Please respect copyright.PENANA2vNytFa4Or
519Please respect copyright.PENANArCjKp7h5ZQ
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANAhuXlGWtJKV
519Please respect copyright.PENANA4FMAaRAfzl
"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."519Please respect copyright.PENANAzyNvqHts3T
519Please respect copyright.PENANAqSKDJfIysL
“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.”519Please respect copyright.PENANAHxzJoq79Za
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYd51zmqlq3
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAOvtLAcaBcS
519Please respect copyright.PENANAmcqO9TM8SR
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANAhPbco3jvu6
519Please respect copyright.PENANAaySPGvnmAU
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.519Please respect copyright.PENANA0I5rErWSg5
519Please respect copyright.PENANAMYvN1brrn3
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANASS5czNsaK0
519Please respect copyright.PENANAutZHWVZ3gY
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAD97gQfYku9
519Please respect copyright.PENANA7LbKVZUinE
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANA7SsmYTxzgN
519Please respect copyright.PENANA1wkXfBvCib
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAMHeMbRaiw4
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxUoVmNpO4i
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyqSr7uK5jH
519Please respect copyright.PENANAcqKLHXxRYx
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANA9pz5DoUT0R
519Please respect copyright.PENANAI7oLQRi7NQ
"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."519Please respect copyright.PENANAggqv9QxmHT
519Please respect copyright.PENANAwDbh8Zbwqk
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."519Please respect copyright.PENANAE4RHcDGDPK
519Please respect copyright.PENANAUrTkxPIE6v
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAiRtRBUQO1X
519Please respect copyright.PENANABsvO0GYp4b
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAa69Q9HT3sP
519Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0UCX9YseN
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyrkUrJ66tp
519Please respect copyright.PENANAI15Ok3N7mK
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.519Please respect copyright.PENANANIKMDNYy1Y
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGuvQ5QRlBz
"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."519Please respect copyright.PENANA4OWa4bRQDj
519Please respect copyright.PENANARBMQh2mpfk
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.519Please respect copyright.PENANAwiQImzYNNy
519Please respect copyright.PENANA5C5oJFceOy
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.519Please respect copyright.PENANAh4W3hZ6qIJ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAKKqsKzuw63
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
519Please respect copyright.PENANA9gskn6vpDH
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANANAFKqt7ayM
519Please respect copyright.PENANAriuy9v9sGJ
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyvKItlKeEE
519Please respect copyright.PENANAKRcjd8csPx
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.519Please respect copyright.PENANAUomOssKPde
519Please respect copyright.PENANAklFQdY5iII
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.519Please respect copyright.PENANAAxpMkPsirN
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYfh6IxaRc4
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAOiqhOz2OhL
519Please respect copyright.PENANA51d037SsrL
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.519Please respect copyright.PENANAjWGAVcHmY6
519Please respect copyright.PENANANdpeflprHE
"The creek," I responded.519Please respect copyright.PENANA5cEO6wpb9f
519Please respect copyright.PENANAMPTKGOdyN1
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAXB9CG0j1l7
519Please respect copyright.PENANAb21XHbfmM5
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.519Please respect copyright.PENANAGCzKPXLBdt
519Please respect copyright.PENANAmDYEjpiQuM
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.519Please respect copyright.PENANAeQqBMq07le
519Please respect copyright.PENANAreiyoaLrPk
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANA8PB5oTyIYn
519Please respect copyright.PENANAXBxM4ghJH7
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.519Please respect copyright.PENANAyLbeR46j3I
519Please respect copyright.PENANASWCow2gYY4
"Do you like it?" he asked.519Please respect copyright.PENANAKG8e8eLLuj
519Please respect copyright.PENANAu18sPdV4tC
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.519Please respect copyright.PENANAQna0oJtt0w
519Please respect copyright.PENANAb81vTpidhG
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANA720R2D0nbn
519Please respect copyright.PENANAc6LZztoqfb
"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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAnNjK8sIhuu
519Please respect copyright.PENANAwEwecHve4X
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?"519Please respect copyright.PENANAwYRAoCs3R1
519Please respect copyright.PENANAW8WdYPcY9H
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.519Please respect copyright.PENANARLKC2jnX1l

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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAuJfVM65kQ8

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.519Please respect copyright.PENANAfpY0YTAVVd

"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?”519Please respect copyright.PENANAWzmQEZjPsD
No one says anything so I go look for myself.519Please respect copyright.PENANAaVGiLEa90W
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.519Please respect copyright.PENANAVuGL60bE1T
