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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAcmSFNhrMuB
445Please respect copyright.PENANAnsVtoCHh45
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAEry5BvLIF1
445Please respect copyright.PENANAQpyjsWcT25
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.445Please respect copyright.PENANAOIGvfu0une
445Please respect copyright.PENANAUMp67Vssn7
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."445Please respect copyright.PENANA5gacb39tcz
445Please respect copyright.PENANA7ciYSxISnM
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.445Please respect copyright.PENANAdaJJ5qTQnX
445Please respect copyright.PENANAwEnO22s1OG
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANA7N9RcRk8z8
445Please respect copyright.PENANAAra0thgJZY
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAszbHED2Rnk
445Please respect copyright.PENANAp5x0BZhraN
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAC8GAe7Bq19
445Please respect copyright.PENANAPW0AM7wD8F
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAd2wgXXArha
445Please respect copyright.PENANAgIHSaY8UvR
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.445Please respect copyright.PENANAsBJzEAFyUx
445Please respect copyright.PENANApC2vEqoOTe
"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?"445Please respect copyright.PENANAUFv3GqeZjV
445Please respect copyright.PENANAemQ3TPLLWU
"I have a full canteen still," I said.445Please respect copyright.PENANA6GG22t8ruz
445Please respect copyright.PENANAnhyQSGJ8o5
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAbbNsaxBFv8
445Please respect copyright.PENANAFX3foyI0w3
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAletyZBv1fv
445Please respect copyright.PENANAREcsapepbB
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.445Please respect copyright.PENANAmVdSQxAPSV
445Please respect copyright.PENANAWqcOw5rQkI
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.445Please respect copyright.PENANA2z4Gamtbl8
445Please respect copyright.PENANANQkgJ2EwTh
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.445Please respect copyright.PENANAVCzFd7wK3d
445Please respect copyright.PENANA6s1mikSO0p
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAlCzP2v7FRR
445Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7Zjjl8gNl
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.445Please respect copyright.PENANAwphCtOKEMK
445Please respect copyright.PENANA6SfIM2UL9N
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.445Please respect copyright.PENANAyF6pb67VSd
445Please respect copyright.PENANAeDODFr22Wj
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.445Please respect copyright.PENANAfHx8vWOu1o
445Please respect copyright.PENANAkpKJDABeJC
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAl87Wl7Wb5K
445Please respect copyright.PENANAubZeq4XbvP
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANA2AdfWad8Kt
445Please respect copyright.PENANAwrOw8QAfqX
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.445Please respect copyright.PENANAIkndLlljCp
445Please respect copyright.PENANAcVtLRd0Jc1
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAvGL9kn6frJ
445Please respect copyright.PENANAR8jvmisgd6
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.445Please respect copyright.PENANAmMMJd3OyyO
445Please respect copyright.PENANAjimSypjXoU
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"445Please respect copyright.PENANAqrCrorgILe
445Please respect copyright.PENANAJkGswNmbVp
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.445Please respect copyright.PENANA92ztBEy4B1
445Please respect copyright.PENANARLgl5dnCzD
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANA8QaEkFTJfv
445Please respect copyright.PENANAHgqYH5ZwCT
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANA6xFLo0yTG9
445Please respect copyright.PENANAANhrG8VjTq
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAfgUJbtrJCF
445Please respect copyright.PENANAFmqs78z8Mc
"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."445Please respect copyright.PENANAZKtEKdulaF
445Please respect copyright.PENANABb6LMUH2DU
“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,"
445Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y02wJ7AE9
"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.”445Please respect copyright.PENANAILmUO5Gs3d
445Please respect copyright.PENANAzNkUG3SoCG
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.445Please respect copyright.PENANAJx04xR1k16
445Please respect copyright.PENANAz6BbvlMKpz
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.445Please respect copyright.PENANAnvYLMyYUZY
445Please respect copyright.PENANAD3mVzrb4wr
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.445Please respect copyright.PENANAi4AJCZEb0E
445Please respect copyright.PENANAAgs63Hb3bJ
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.445Please respect copyright.PENANAZ59uN5LSVV
445Please respect copyright.PENANAYQD3RwNQVe
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANA1raHSR2R6X
445Please respect copyright.PENANAG3dVpH0XW2
"Lets check it out," said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAbgh5ayXpFX
445Please respect copyright.PENANAIzaZvcj5dY
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAwgEgKAGsZk
445Please respect copyright.PENANACrkgS83o1j
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.445Please respect copyright.PENANAzvDx89Y7zr
445Please respect copyright.PENANALBvk7P6vLo
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANA1O36oRt1vM
445Please respect copyright.PENANACRjsllcx1C
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANANN5tvPCCHe
445Please respect copyright.PENANAPfThP8aMKb
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANApRVIuyweg6
445Please respect copyright.PENANACFWC04ovg7
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.445Please respect copyright.PENANAn1KEDUgznL
445Please respect copyright.PENANAs8V5ULUWW1
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Y9aGBKgr
445Please respect copyright.PENANAikxmoqivSN
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAjSRT3wWTqZ
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.445Please respect copyright.PENANAPR2zfSU1o2
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAVbb4Df0vDi
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANABqrJsiEoV7
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQbTFFHofUQ
445Please respect copyright.PENANArOEMTlFODZ
"What do I do?" I asked.445Please respect copyright.PENANAKxX0xL1new
445Please respect copyright.PENANAs6kJv8duFg
"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."445Please respect copyright.PENANAph8Yg12IgO
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.445Please respect copyright.PENANAIw5RWdC0cd
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAcvCWFYUdbx
445Please respect copyright.PENANAGhRBmQ85Qc
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANA8QoYWYoFVl
445Please respect copyright.PENANAVG5DBDSqfA
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQGNs4G60dr
445Please respect copyright.PENANA4NLSVuGvIq
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAwWKMboSBDh
445Please respect copyright.PENANApgt3zvMrmI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------445Please respect copyright.PENANAw8btCiSKVH
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAV1LlOUP8nn
445Please respect copyright.PENANAUFv1JsmJX1
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 445Please respect copyright.PENANA6siRZ0VgZ5
445Please respect copyright.PENANAuvgBeTWRAk
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.445Please respect copyright.PENANAoDrafMpcl2
445Please respect copyright.PENANAXDepPP3Fsx
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAwGsRRDFlZk
445Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z4yiwivt5
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.445Please respect copyright.PENANAmHynqE8H3P
445Please respect copyright.PENANAEDvaRiBxXn
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAkN1wZmUwDQ
445Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZH0nznpXH
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.445Please respect copyright.PENANAO9oP4DaPS0
445Please respect copyright.PENANA5D0RpLFnLs
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAEB52DJrBhR
445Please respect copyright.PENANA9j61lcAlx2
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.445Please respect copyright.PENANAoRZimpv2jz
"This is how," I said holding the tree.445Please respect copyright.PENANAS4HghrxLgW
445Please respect copyright.PENANALemUgnySl5
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7ZwVQxA6T
445Please respect copyright.PENANAMeBODFe65E
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAGiBE1InJSg
445Please respect copyright.PENANAaM8tlIWMZ0
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAShXeZLT1g2
445Please respect copyright.PENANAJhTwY4ubCy
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."445Please respect copyright.PENANAM83ZcNeKtr
445Please respect copyright.PENANACM9fpq7Dst
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.445Please respect copyright.PENANAUl0m55HkI8
445Please respect copyright.PENANAi5cn7Phv2n
"Makes sense," responded JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANATjyyVbF7aI
445Please respect copyright.PENANAv2x03IYhsE
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQdix3dZjmK
445Please respect copyright.PENANAArpIR1v1KP
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANABmWsfs9w5d
445Please respect copyright.PENANAVFpIXkQ1e8
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.445Please respect copyright.PENANAMlzr6QtF3s
445Please respect copyright.PENANADJqapTlq9W
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.445Please respect copyright.PENANAlppOB4GXbv
445Please respect copyright.PENANARpJcqFlzrR
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."445Please respect copyright.PENANAPZpxeZXJgp
445Please respect copyright.PENANAGFJBAYPRaA
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.445Please respect copyright.PENANA610vKtXYNN
445Please respect copyright.PENANABGUy2Oh7Yu
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAjxv0qHdVfa
445Please respect copyright.PENANATydp9azqS1
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.445Please respect copyright.PENANAwJpY1b5FxW
445Please respect copyright.PENANASmkHCKzes5
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.445Please respect copyright.PENANAJNaf4oa3Bo
445Please respect copyright.PENANABW4FD01rKH
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.445Please respect copyright.PENANAHOELr5cRxD
445Please respect copyright.PENANAyMKxvqe8BF
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANA9kZ6oE0Hxe
445Please respect copyright.PENANAJWEWFPzV8p
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.445Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Cin7SK9w
445Please respect copyright.PENANAKViAHgaDPm
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANAftumSzo1v9
445Please respect copyright.PENANAZv7T6Tpfpo
"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."445Please respect copyright.PENANAPS2AzFUQRe
445Please respect copyright.PENANAy3MODIMCaF
“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.”445Please respect copyright.PENANAgFYD70rynF
445Please respect copyright.PENANAmFNbwsXx3p
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAX7bEOYr0t9
445Please respect copyright.PENANAr61evybMEz
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANAuvAGCa8YyY
445Please respect copyright.PENANAOUBhfa6V2j
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.445Please respect copyright.PENANAfmlf0yzrvn
445Please respect copyright.PENANAHOkSL8BA9G
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAc7uhDDuNFd
445Please respect copyright.PENANAURrG4p2iG4
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANADdpRaeDYFG
445Please respect copyright.PENANAvhIm99PXb9
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAFCwfUyrwrN
445Please respect copyright.PENANANyUr0ENjsY
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAfd5nQu3FwD
445Please respect copyright.PENANAbjdKH5MReN
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.445Please respect copyright.PENANAlhSZlthAy0
445Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gxlqnx2tT
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAx1fmbuP1fQ
445Please respect copyright.PENANAFrhHtiOijW
"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."445Please respect copyright.PENANAmKnKt672n3
445Please respect copyright.PENANAQiubpdRw1U
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."445Please respect copyright.PENANAVVJ02Z6HA0
445Please respect copyright.PENANAzAPjJClY3n
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAbuLs7fDpbz
445Please respect copyright.PENANAT6FPOnlHum
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAgLnESgVm7P
445Please respect copyright.PENANA98OfA2Uy3e
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.445Please respect copyright.PENANANYQGezYhIg
445Please respect copyright.PENANAGlM5xGh2Na
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.445Please respect copyright.PENANAVjKSf5lGxF
445Please respect copyright.PENANAJCPNn3f1eW
"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."445Please respect copyright.PENANAKuTunZAybY
445Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kg9wNR7Cu
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.445Please respect copyright.PENANAr1R3oQwTWE
445Please respect copyright.PENANAEar2yzn6fY
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.445Please respect copyright.PENANAgJse51bOOe
445Please respect copyright.PENANAud3iOIcS5W
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
445Please respect copyright.PENANAXfbF00pxZC
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANAbKg7KNxSdH
445Please respect copyright.PENANA7fUHcSJt7S
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAjaqeUNG9oH
445Please respect copyright.PENANAbny9Mrk3A8
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQOOjzgkgPt
445Please respect copyright.PENANAsfUAGL9cmC
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.445Please respect copyright.PENANAN5rGKtOQeu
445Please respect copyright.PENANATdj4PO8hoC
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAhGTHoFvq3D
445Please respect copyright.PENANA91uPIvIBAW
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.445Please respect copyright.PENANAp3TymOu9vX
445Please respect copyright.PENANARorPlIQqH4
"The creek," I responded.445Please respect copyright.PENANAsR6cpZh5dV
445Please respect copyright.PENANABE1SSONDMs
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAujruBPXt97
445Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ8rXJxilW
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.445Please respect copyright.PENANAiZQRrzhhUK
445Please respect copyright.PENANA1UvDuKD6x7
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.445Please respect copyright.PENANAlLoWO5TgTg
445Please respect copyright.PENANAtov5tDAbIz
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANAuHUPvdDgLl
445Please respect copyright.PENANALP8WyInoLp
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.445Please respect copyright.PENANA5vTOcYH4yY
445Please respect copyright.PENANA20TVZliTAS
"Do you like it?" he asked.445Please respect copyright.PENANAHyW9KXsGoD
445Please respect copyright.PENANA42IqieB224
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQyt2ZpZLFc
445Please respect copyright.PENANAo8OKQ2p1Eo
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANAdaTXXoiU3P
445Please respect copyright.PENANAD3lqCfcX8a
"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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAOFqGNP7F46
445Please respect copyright.PENANAle5sW7lhoy
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?"445Please respect copyright.PENANAacBlznsx0t
445Please respect copyright.PENANAy8mxf16yss
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.445Please respect copyright.PENANAfILAvQUS2O

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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQU6U54VekW

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.445Please respect copyright.PENANAD5TuO0DLuZ

"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?”445Please respect copyright.PENANAifM6RAN2ml
No one says anything so I go look for myself.445Please respect copyright.PENANAQ01RDeffMZ
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.445Please respect copyright.PENANAyDPkdPJOWL
