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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAcS15GhBwzX
389Please respect copyright.PENANAIBC2kvXZHa
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANATn80odGbsN
389Please respect copyright.PENANAD552UAa3ZL
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.389Please respect copyright.PENANAbGxnK199r0
389Please respect copyright.PENANAfCWNcoKDNg
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."389Please respect copyright.PENANA1o7sH7zCWY
389Please respect copyright.PENANAj0QfUpy5ty
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.389Please respect copyright.PENANArQUmB8qRtd
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8iqfKCmcWs
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAKCjpGeTK86
389Please respect copyright.PENANAaQbJZ9fZwD
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANA4lfD5bNOws
389Please respect copyright.PENANAKxY2YChSMj
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAIS6GqR26Qw
389Please respect copyright.PENANAIWmjS6VtKI
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAqbcNuCNnJz
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYRnGpuFQe4
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.389Please respect copyright.PENANAAcm0Psh4Bw
389Please respect copyright.PENANAdH7VDRL0Uy
"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?"389Please respect copyright.PENANAsv6qQlQXBU
389Please respect copyright.PENANAL9nh2jZ5L6
"I have a full canteen still," I said.389Please respect copyright.PENANAIuXe3SFuN5
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzEAks7dlLQ
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAxZHJEj5xhj
389Please respect copyright.PENANASCmrYTVC65
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAuIndDrGbbb
389Please respect copyright.PENANAwDaIth3P8j
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.389Please respect copyright.PENANAiukyInex9f
389Please respect copyright.PENANA0oZrTQ3rOp
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.389Please respect copyright.PENANA4EuZNKwmCw
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzDYjtV2JsM
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.389Please respect copyright.PENANAsgdA2PBY0x
389Please respect copyright.PENANAnC6oWMrQow
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANA8Noc7Fxyab
389Please respect copyright.PENANAs94UHsCQwE
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.389Please respect copyright.PENANATv1lA5W6ZB
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4yhCHalojG
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.389Please respect copyright.PENANADqscbPJdG1
389Please respect copyright.PENANATMyKeMdVmz
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.389Please respect copyright.PENANAbWGiqO7XmE
389Please respect copyright.PENANAx11C6hliir
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANANfLjM3NovF
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2BTFN1TDV9
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAHecNdBTANs
389Please respect copyright.PENANA6PzkM9U247
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.389Please respect copyright.PENANAtUyzGYKPX1
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqe5FvlMyBn
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANA6vYTeulRuN
389Please respect copyright.PENANA9pc1grjX6h
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.389Please respect copyright.PENANAwd0dsUqA3h
389Please respect copyright.PENANAl7JCtmaf2m
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"389Please respect copyright.PENANALvRPhBqugL
389Please respect copyright.PENANAnXVLpIeUyp
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.389Please respect copyright.PENANAGJisi4saim
389Please respect copyright.PENANAZH64TG8J2P
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAMZedrbMbNj
389Please respect copyright.PENANAsPut7PlNZF
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAfGuUbjDRA3
389Please respect copyright.PENANAOlblTCjb1j
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAE7cRauqRk9
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2bNSGe0uQk
"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."389Please respect copyright.PENANADOaGa3eABu
389Please respect copyright.PENANARq9xiGBPQ7
“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,"
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4x30F1EfAD
"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.”389Please respect copyright.PENANAnaijq8Lsz9
389Please respect copyright.PENANAvv88aUWGDm
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.389Please respect copyright.PENANAzto6Qu7vFQ
389Please respect copyright.PENANAgDPrSw3EFN
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.389Please respect copyright.PENANAcqZUwJmqiN
389Please respect copyright.PENANA0zMhUdiEML
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.389Please respect copyright.PENANAB0x8vxkQeF
389Please respect copyright.PENANATkQG6mH4hF
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.389Please respect copyright.PENANAbUnIME12ix
389Please respect copyright.PENANAXGCs6Rfyon
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAH0sAWqBfNg
389Please respect copyright.PENANAukfnT59U57
"Lets check it out," said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAqsmSniXADD
389Please respect copyright.PENANAFPczRDpmlg
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAMcfr4wdR1r
389Please respect copyright.PENANAftiXljnKGO
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.389Please respect copyright.PENANAuOoyjsOfWe
389Please respect copyright.PENANAV33NL6PoOz
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAPgDGkoViTN
389Please respect copyright.PENANAPrtZroay1C
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANAOz5FVBvC2v
389Please respect copyright.PENANAf3uPjBw6wU
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANA96OZonibBt
389Please respect copyright.PENANATlLaiEgVIV
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.389Please respect copyright.PENANAVU1AqBOXVU
389Please respect copyright.PENANAyLwhZYe2hH
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAodG5s3px43
389Please respect copyright.PENANAxq8z0317Pu
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAxghslc18de
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.389Please respect copyright.PENANAhWQ3XCnN2q
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAtxTN1B5gg7
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAwf3gAQR7sC
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.389Please respect copyright.PENANAoFpv6diYPC
389Please respect copyright.PENANAZgVsg0eSMp
"What do I do?" I asked.389Please respect copyright.PENANARSehhyb815
389Please respect copyright.PENANAx6n0LYszIb
"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."389Please respect copyright.PENANANGGALDjJRL
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.389Please respect copyright.PENANALuywcfEwIu
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAE6vwfVlXEh
389Please respect copyright.PENANAJuDo0m8tF6
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAiqbnVPsYXV
389Please respect copyright.PENANARqVK991pi9
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.389Please respect copyright.PENANAEULnit7fI3
389Please respect copyright.PENANAWWIFqneC1o
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAhnAUm75MZ9
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8ktx7gHJ2U
--------------------------------------------------------------------------389Please respect copyright.PENANAgMC3qn9E6o
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAAVefv7WId8
389Please respect copyright.PENANAuZS3srOZJm
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 389Please respect copyright.PENANAO5XsTPL59P
389Please respect copyright.PENANATg8UcsbS9f
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.389Please respect copyright.PENANAXvuVnNwHy5
389Please respect copyright.PENANA17IEEGuYMB
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAPmvHZQCWyb
389Please respect copyright.PENANAUA2FaD4aBl
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.389Please respect copyright.PENANAD98Z90VNAO
389Please respect copyright.PENANABxbLOVzSHQ
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAi7gv1ptj47
389Please respect copyright.PENANAZdpFOdUXmv
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.389Please respect copyright.PENANAXfgMlROr4a
389Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ek9lYudtd
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAw59JpjAVms
389Please respect copyright.PENANADPyrdx1ZCh
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.389Please respect copyright.PENANAvEoT5RPM1s
"This is how," I said holding the tree.389Please respect copyright.PENANAPraXPF0GkC
389Please respect copyright.PENANASanJZVpapg
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.389Please respect copyright.PENANAQdXrKbIhjq
389Please respect copyright.PENANAzzqDnbKDDx
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAX1BttMaFSF
389Please respect copyright.PENANA2QUelguZx2
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANASi5fwNleof
389Please respect copyright.PENANAdzwxETRWq0
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."389Please respect copyright.PENANABteMPEYR1B
389Please respect copyright.PENANA4BbDfkC7yY
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.389Please respect copyright.PENANA6dVvgw6icE
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYChUA6eO7d
"Makes sense," responded JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANASKiw2UUnBL
389Please respect copyright.PENANANqLcLG31SC
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.389Please respect copyright.PENANAfikt1D6qfG
389Please respect copyright.PENANAiPI8UzrB87
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAzIQVesTSiN
389Please respect copyright.PENANAoYJ5o8RpKE
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.389Please respect copyright.PENANAfh1TQIrCPr
389Please respect copyright.PENANALzez0Xx0IW
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.389Please respect copyright.PENANA38um3J2fLt
389Please respect copyright.PENANASBVB9LTs2s
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."389Please respect copyright.PENANAQbFRdl6fmF
389Please respect copyright.PENANAPJvxKtCBpK
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.389Please respect copyright.PENANA5AcfoSH3hY
389Please respect copyright.PENANAxuWCjhNudL
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAPd5aKG0IZo
389Please respect copyright.PENANASddnQNu36c
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.389Please respect copyright.PENANACRzMJgtyXM
389Please respect copyright.PENANAkfZpZ1pAzO
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.389Please respect copyright.PENANAYdftAYCNeI
389Please respect copyright.PENANAs1a6yp2xZ0
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.389Please respect copyright.PENANA4IZPnO2NRO
389Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ExUIhuCe
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAiHQDm9marn
389Please respect copyright.PENANAqKW4W5ljc6
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.389Please respect copyright.PENANA0fFoXJe1Va
389Please respect copyright.PENANAkhiwWChmQf
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANANQH4lwtPi5
389Please respect copyright.PENANA66j802fhNz
"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."389Please respect copyright.PENANADgYmIwuBVO
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYdM5onZBoJ
“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.”389Please respect copyright.PENANAi22nazoEUG
389Please respect copyright.PENANAonRlpPa0WG
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANALuI3MSD4tm
389Please respect copyright.PENANAJmuk7AfWQj
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANAsjT0WX1Hk3
389Please respect copyright.PENANAUx8gBhNizA
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.389Please respect copyright.PENANAohN95QfsGK
389Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5gt6Pxrtc
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANATJ2dPAjYUQ
389Please respect copyright.PENANA3y0SyF6fiO
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAGomZ0UQcRO
389Please respect copyright.PENANAYNAjgvcit8
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAkZC95Y95cK
389Please respect copyright.PENANAGi9l7gUr30
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANA3SXfUnPFbu
389Please respect copyright.PENANASNMAt3SrPn
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.389Please respect copyright.PENANA7r1XTLKYUr
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8CTyNCu1Qw
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAbT8hbaHJ1G
389Please respect copyright.PENANAUV8JRL9aNs
"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."389Please respect copyright.PENANAn7vI8SUwt0
389Please respect copyright.PENANAy1DgC1PmIy
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."389Please respect copyright.PENANARwju7IcBQR
389Please respect copyright.PENANA6WQC709EFq
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANASxAYyGCSSe
389Please respect copyright.PENANAXDrFmGT0Ne
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAHHNvoCCr7T
389Please respect copyright.PENANAog7XDQEPWw
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.389Please respect copyright.PENANAxOvIOUo8SX
389Please respect copyright.PENANAl0Zd1MCpxW
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.389Please respect copyright.PENANAEDYKogxxKJ
389Please respect copyright.PENANAfoMtpqagI2
"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."389Please respect copyright.PENANAChsRvSJGYY
389Please respect copyright.PENANAaqxpmSqyHF
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.389Please respect copyright.PENANAHXYZ5NpDYy
389Please respect copyright.PENANAidzhIXAjMw
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.389Please respect copyright.PENANADKE36fQxbU
389Please respect copyright.PENANAJMnvqKx0DA
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
389Please respect copyright.PENANAul9prDjoBX
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANAtTorcgpyYU
389Please respect copyright.PENANAaBluezgLaZ
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAtD1pIBz0S3
389Please respect copyright.PENANASi9G4b5G9Y
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.389Please respect copyright.PENANAgqqZNLG7mq
389Please respect copyright.PENANAY2gBWi8qeh
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.389Please respect copyright.PENANArWuxcuIH2z
389Please respect copyright.PENANARn9RTWAe4F
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANA0UP5yE1W5p
389Please respect copyright.PENANA8HmZKQHlyD
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.389Please respect copyright.PENANAGGJxBF930d
389Please respect copyright.PENANAmJAQWUo59t
"The creek," I responded.389Please respect copyright.PENANAWjyt83XwrZ
389Please respect copyright.PENANAMYktbC0FHO
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAzJV22jQIXE
389Please respect copyright.PENANACEB8u52dhO
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.389Please respect copyright.PENANAHfywDTmjc7
389Please respect copyright.PENANAcT7sk0X4nz
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.389Please respect copyright.PENANAqZyqieAJhX
389Please respect copyright.PENANAfOJ0KDb0kK
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANAOdBeRfwYb3
389Please respect copyright.PENANAyLCn1g4VEN
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.389Please respect copyright.PENANAtQgj7d6smr
389Please respect copyright.PENANAy5x1A9z19n
"Do you like it?" he asked.389Please respect copyright.PENANAyq6mWP05hP
389Please respect copyright.PENANASG7hbFCfqC
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.389Please respect copyright.PENANAu4GMEcEOi4
389Please respect copyright.PENANAh1guFMviEU
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANAIE9s9vi8IW
389Please respect copyright.PENANAFkVh08vUKP
"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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAKt6eACOXgo
389Please respect copyright.PENANAOEVz5a67ut
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?"389Please respect copyright.PENANAOpIvzHXEmw
389Please respect copyright.PENANAAF3XA7ML2C
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.389Please respect copyright.PENANA18KmTKHGiE

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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAmrYJuouRmP

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.389Please respect copyright.PENANAdXu6x6yyww

"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?”389Please respect copyright.PENANAX3WVWQW3Qp
No one says anything so I go look for myself.389Please respect copyright.PENANAE3JBmeUDcp
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.389Please respect copyright.PENANAlvwWMPLy1W
