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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAgHb1cXraaS
475Please respect copyright.PENANAsj3EFRuOwj
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAs7zpzCQBD1
475Please respect copyright.PENANA9JC9qJ7gQ8
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.475Please respect copyright.PENANAbvYt9xVLSV
475Please respect copyright.PENANAJGScO9yg5m
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."475Please respect copyright.PENANAX4bt3wbmxE
475Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z39JUw7VP
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.475Please respect copyright.PENANAvfpoBKlm7R
475Please respect copyright.PENANAYYcZIouGAF
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAoHBzYuiO1F
475Please respect copyright.PENANAoAZGx7PXbw
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAAybrzhwPvW
475Please respect copyright.PENANAinbQE46dzQ
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANANKgw3PZ6zS
475Please respect copyright.PENANAyfd7qfD4le
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAkmz6Z3kvj9
475Please respect copyright.PENANA7WENueOz9j
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.475Please respect copyright.PENANAARF8lntSyh
475Please respect copyright.PENANAlgqfkGA65k
"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?"475Please respect copyright.PENANA4YMvjc9cpA
475Please respect copyright.PENANAuaoSbGyLTC
"I have a full canteen still," I said.475Please respect copyright.PENANAAFZIr3ln7A
475Please respect copyright.PENANAcWIneFi7qf
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA6352Zt7dQZ
475Please respect copyright.PENANAKjuKrhC3Md
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANABDRXX8SktZ
475Please respect copyright.PENANAR1QrecnolV
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.475Please respect copyright.PENANA9OfZz1rnim
475Please respect copyright.PENANAvqqLIlZAnu
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.475Please respect copyright.PENANAS9NYqSm1NP
475Please respect copyright.PENANAXuKK8IPjfg
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.475Please respect copyright.PENANAFkUIk12aMI
475Please respect copyright.PENANA19vTCFu3EA
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ7E6BurVn
475Please respect copyright.PENANAhQa70KH4ZH
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.475Please respect copyright.PENANAd5BuUyIPFK
475Please respect copyright.PENANAED6NanINrC
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.475Please respect copyright.PENANAFqZyuMAWkZ
475Please respect copyright.PENANAdSj6VZT2US
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.475Please respect copyright.PENANAQjglZm2NWA
475Please respect copyright.PENANAZ42e4CqAvS
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAY3iTFZHp4H
475Please respect copyright.PENANAOUErzajBGZ
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kuib3FLGG
475Please respect copyright.PENANAR22rWTiMSj
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.475Please respect copyright.PENANAm9u8R3KDcQ
475Please respect copyright.PENANADcuy2Q6zVg
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAA3aI6ESoXn
475Please respect copyright.PENANA4xZy9JHkbw
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.475Please respect copyright.PENANAeEv7Zxz6tT
475Please respect copyright.PENANAIRwMwhAF6l
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"475Please respect copyright.PENANA4UPbVKLM5Z
475Please respect copyright.PENANAYUyRd4aJ5X
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.475Please respect copyright.PENANAiVf1IUKPoK
475Please respect copyright.PENANADJvxUuJP5c
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA6kr6Af46zc
475Please respect copyright.PENANARSxc70MYPY
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAIyvlKLIZ4P
475Please respect copyright.PENANA83EggJDjoS
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAtTmKXcxMTv
475Please respect copyright.PENANAwDEYEzSTO4
"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."475Please respect copyright.PENANAPVHpQjrJeU
475Please respect copyright.PENANAHrt4Xd5FzP
“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,"
475Please respect copyright.PENANAzD3gKAwqT1
"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.”475Please respect copyright.PENANA6ml6UgQ7hc
475Please respect copyright.PENANAzibxmRabwl
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.475Please respect copyright.PENANA8cMkazqetO
475Please respect copyright.PENANAEPEZZN2XRK
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.475Please respect copyright.PENANA6K7JLcnJ0C
475Please respect copyright.PENANA0LGpwT29Lh
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZmXWhv9HuG
475Please respect copyright.PENANA5GmsrRbIOE
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.475Please respect copyright.PENANACBbcbQMfAl
475Please respect copyright.PENANAMkaGMch2JM
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAlPdhVcx6Nz
475Please respect copyright.PENANAJXQzw4vVMi
"Lets check it out," said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAcF2XIjwXmo
475Please respect copyright.PENANASfg6DhrzeY
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAhlSMmRf1JD
475Please respect copyright.PENANAkabkHQucuv
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZxwsgg7Qlc
475Please respect copyright.PENANAkqzaz9JnaH
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAfByibUmraJ
475Please respect copyright.PENANADn3WbFGEI2
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANACKBdj7pO8q
475Please respect copyright.PENANAowo7C1tzCD
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAN3MOw2powD
475Please respect copyright.PENANAPg5g2pUFv0
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.475Please respect copyright.PENANAW4AMp6rGMS
475Please respect copyright.PENANALrAW9m70gx
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAl8uzln3rN1
475Please respect copyright.PENANAVUZqFAAkvU
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA4UM0OZ4Gl9
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.475Please respect copyright.PENANAnfK60A3Jbn
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAT0XITnNDlu
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZnCj7xo2yO
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.475Please respect copyright.PENANABB6dtQ0pOq
475Please respect copyright.PENANAumLcHxubMT
"What do I do?" I asked.475Please respect copyright.PENANAbEwfR7wJJs
475Please respect copyright.PENANAyL5kp0S99Q
"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."475Please respect copyright.PENANAUjJxpqkvZJ
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.475Please respect copyright.PENANAKIuSY2RH0I
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA9ILNspnwQ4
475Please respect copyright.PENANA3A0sCFp33V
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAUbuJSV13Xi
475Please respect copyright.PENANA0BtUpMZPja
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.475Please respect copyright.PENANA9ybiZlHaUZ
475Please respect copyright.PENANA8LYMKWzs7y
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAtqyVdCcWh5
475Please respect copyright.PENANAI8De4tuZaw
--------------------------------------------------------------------------475Please respect copyright.PENANAGR92SRz9Ej
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAm3B7oDJ9bO
475Please respect copyright.PENANAhm3OPZJN7u
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 475Please respect copyright.PENANA50quoFOqGm
475Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1lmouxj3M
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.475Please respect copyright.PENANAqNRrRQX5iM
475Please respect copyright.PENANASMoPXMInZj
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA43McDLJbPt
475Please respect copyright.PENANAps0ANge5iL
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.475Please respect copyright.PENANAUT9jtKN53z
475Please respect copyright.PENANAKZzXzGTpE5
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAUBZ0XCscxp
475Please respect copyright.PENANA7PxIVq7tZD
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.475Please respect copyright.PENANAnQjrzM4vct
475Please respect copyright.PENANATIIQkaEAMD
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAbJlRXtkMyI
475Please respect copyright.PENANAMcFm9LvtLC
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.475Please respect copyright.PENANAxuk9d3s7h3
"This is how," I said holding the tree.475Please respect copyright.PENANATt2CsFmaJe
475Please respect copyright.PENANAUI7bIj5vn2
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.475Please respect copyright.PENANABGv9NE0g4J
475Please respect copyright.PENANAhJV7GQIQZ8
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAlmAxFGuY5f
475Please respect copyright.PENANAHrtTNbrzof
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA0uOsRFRSL9
475Please respect copyright.PENANAce3ihruBzY
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."475Please respect copyright.PENANAW9u7oczqSB
475Please respect copyright.PENANA47XEEx4nWc
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.475Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gh1hoYKXh
475Please respect copyright.PENANAu75KS27u8D
"Makes sense," responded JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANA5NVSFS2vfl
475Please respect copyright.PENANAzNhHGiglQ6
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.475Please respect copyright.PENANAF3bz5wuvAz
475Please respect copyright.PENANAsJwaeLFXO7
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA8vilibLILm
475Please respect copyright.PENANAVgduU33YeI
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.475Please respect copyright.PENANAxMIB4NyRqT
475Please respect copyright.PENANA5FGHLm4j6C
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.475Please respect copyright.PENANAjGWdxtoJpb
475Please respect copyright.PENANAuwNxk9Ulew
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."475Please respect copyright.PENANAfEVAJZMBtL
475Please respect copyright.PENANACXN9TRPvGa
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.475Please respect copyright.PENANAMVrsSELFho
475Please respect copyright.PENANAfjpnnQT1oP
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAsW5zlcFimN
475Please respect copyright.PENANAnUUeSROQwT
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.475Please respect copyright.PENANA95yKGGswir
475Please respect copyright.PENANAQPYCf6Ak4l
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.475Please respect copyright.PENANAkw11ggcIAw
475Please respect copyright.PENANAVOII4VZ2KD
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.475Please respect copyright.PENANARh5aJnTwsP
475Please respect copyright.PENANAz9vEcmMU84
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANApYNXUi9RXT
475Please respect copyright.PENANAeP7NFW3kZ0
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.475Please respect copyright.PENANAfE6tYaaMXP
475Please respect copyright.PENANA3UUQs3NajO
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANASLiDcMTmlC
475Please respect copyright.PENANACy5e6804yR
"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."475Please respect copyright.PENANAc0UfZebcXi
475Please respect copyright.PENANAndq5eBEXwK
“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.”475Please respect copyright.PENANAYIsyk8EYDX
475Please respect copyright.PENANAckwGjSSWos
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAI4MvJ8Eeml
475Please respect copyright.PENANAA5vSwLgRkB
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZSlbxj8RXW
475Please respect copyright.PENANAmFQECc0tu6
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.475Please respect copyright.PENANAR5JOvQJirT
475Please respect copyright.PENANAgaYAyp9AQx
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZHSgV8pnlh
475Please respect copyright.PENANAfNOTKOOrLP
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAsAtTRccpok
475Please respect copyright.PENANAOhkOS4Cx3Y
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA1i2kbAxV5b
475Please respect copyright.PENANAshL1ejiE6y
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZjrF5e6WwT
475Please respect copyright.PENANAMQzceIaWdp
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.475Please respect copyright.PENANA31aXW3jWrz
475Please respect copyright.PENANArhP66YqNO6
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAuMgEOaznNN
475Please respect copyright.PENANA6IRgXQhDWW
"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."475Please respect copyright.PENANA88bMTXaNfa
475Please respect copyright.PENANAkm6PfvB0EW
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."475Please respect copyright.PENANAnAPz7rrmkv
475Please respect copyright.PENANAehnA7joc04
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2HSKwRHOT
475Please respect copyright.PENANAlbNdfytJFV
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANArVRgULIsu9
475Please respect copyright.PENANAkjwrmiBAaw
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.475Please respect copyright.PENANAJIiBMPrc0H
475Please respect copyright.PENANARNYxb1Vj6p
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.475Please respect copyright.PENANA97pPewV7pp
475Please respect copyright.PENANA1AHCVEMXzk
"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."475Please respect copyright.PENANAgVsWu6hJ5g
475Please respect copyright.PENANAGbcinzkKdF
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.475Please respect copyright.PENANAVL1lfrFpno
475Please respect copyright.PENANAvMVzHPT7by
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.475Please respect copyright.PENANA6EfKK5VeWC
475Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ewCkBgjJ
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
475Please respect copyright.PENANAifvs1hAFpS
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANASkqLTVeq0Y
475Please respect copyright.PENANA2tz10Hhqyh
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAr9i3QJPxqv
475Please respect copyright.PENANARkOrvYShmp
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.475Please respect copyright.PENANAoz7rx3ThmP
475Please respect copyright.PENANAVl3llInUy4
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.475Please respect copyright.PENANAepp6CJZL68
475Please respect copyright.PENANA8oRGy1yZUg
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAdQvplJtYjy
475Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y4D5FzMhU
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.475Please respect copyright.PENANAhN2SN5lHFP
475Please respect copyright.PENANAA1TvHz4Zlp
"The creek," I responded.475Please respect copyright.PENANAIwOlpY7Gee
475Please respect copyright.PENANAvscT88ydw3
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA5CN8UOY8j7
475Please respect copyright.PENANAmyteFgGeHW
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.475Please respect copyright.PENANAMOubWv4TPy
475Please respect copyright.PENANAwkdJ6X87K6
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.475Please respect copyright.PENANAZjkyvcPLEI
475Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Gs34r9pB
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANAcBkFfYOrGy
475Please respect copyright.PENANASW6UxsjRv5
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.475Please respect copyright.PENANAe4Lb4oKedG
475Please respect copyright.PENANAH3uxnPPnLb
"Do you like it?" he asked.475Please respect copyright.PENANA8hF1o2nfJj
475Please respect copyright.PENANAckx28ZvEwA
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.475Please respect copyright.PENANA1bg2PR05lX
475Please respect copyright.PENANA7aagjZ9eyv
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANAPMMSjk71D4
475Please respect copyright.PENANAmwYRSnPkpC
"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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAq2Jfw61PiL
475Please respect copyright.PENANAgboXEKCxq7
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?"475Please respect copyright.PENANAliyFGWX53q
475Please respect copyright.PENANAN0FDZaCCEq
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.475Please respect copyright.PENANAE5r25RUYxy

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAuIdDkdmrSw

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.475Please respect copyright.PENANADzJGW3iAD3

"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?”475Please respect copyright.PENANA7nmwaHclKE
No one says anything so I go look for myself.475Please respect copyright.PENANAF66PgoV0jm
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANABXTKqvW47R
