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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAPWwAJEw8GE
533Please respect copyright.PENANAr63Eq34uX9
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAmwRMqxwnCf
533Please respect copyright.PENANARP1kcTdjtO
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.533Please respect copyright.PENANAJZGSfLnrvu
533Please respect copyright.PENANAYPXz87fpMJ
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."533Please respect copyright.PENANAVPFrhfhBKY
533Please respect copyright.PENANAGssymoGPyb
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.533Please respect copyright.PENANA7LSmGVygxV
533Please respect copyright.PENANAta4cyPGr8I
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAwXDnVssyrK
533Please respect copyright.PENANAn1GxeQzJ1z
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANA2EQDxEKsU2
533Please respect copyright.PENANAAL3hQSl0j7
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANALhb3mVNIw6
533Please respect copyright.PENANAkneRr8NYOj
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAPaIFMkSYnC
533Please respect copyright.PENANAQCN0IooiU3
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.533Please respect copyright.PENANAluk1gurbqI
533Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5fjykOuVf
"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?"533Please respect copyright.PENANAqOJSjloEFu
533Please respect copyright.PENANAUOI6L8Focv
"I have a full canteen still," I said.533Please respect copyright.PENANAKN5WhY8hiA
533Please respect copyright.PENANAU4jLoOuNeH
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANA5R7m08tiNn
533Please respect copyright.PENANAyKvOPtDekf
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANANsqMag5T3l
533Please respect copyright.PENANAStGaClA6RL
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.533Please respect copyright.PENANAw32TzEx86t
533Please respect copyright.PENANAbJUP20onfe
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.533Please respect copyright.PENANAXL5zfRhQT9
533Please respect copyright.PENANAecro94uKyA
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.533Please respect copyright.PENANAIQMKSChT3l
533Please respect copyright.PENANAwbF6zCYvos
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAd6olNNQpQ9
533Please respect copyright.PENANAxr7Mfbw6Cf
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.533Please respect copyright.PENANAdnZdNrG6N9
533Please respect copyright.PENANABRlBVbVxYa
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.533Please respect copyright.PENANAHmHs9C8ud1
533Please respect copyright.PENANAyK6htbQlTE
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.533Please respect copyright.PENANA15KblxVgJB
533Please respect copyright.PENANALi4tZ89PXN
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANANOo0bqcMkp
533Please respect copyright.PENANAt3TkX6U6rE
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANASfveVc14Z0
533Please respect copyright.PENANAOVNiHM5LrY
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.533Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4miwvA80c
533Please respect copyright.PENANAiRVulc5ZK8
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANA81jBOkede5
533Please respect copyright.PENANAc7TCIsI0mT
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.533Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2qKRfFCEn
533Please respect copyright.PENANADZPt8NsiXX
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"533Please respect copyright.PENANAveZ23G4Awe
533Please respect copyright.PENANAyc0Q7hd3UT
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.533Please respect copyright.PENANA6PLSuWv52P
533Please respect copyright.PENANAVFaC32FwIK
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAKdvKey3qgN
533Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ca2TVeSV0
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAEj8rQEZ3DP
533Please respect copyright.PENANATcESNKhjxb
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAD5upiVeuF8
533Please respect copyright.PENANAz3xmLwHCaO
"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."533Please respect copyright.PENANAi6u6eb9kd6
533Please respect copyright.PENANAa7aU5Hd5me
“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,"
533Please respect copyright.PENANAXfvzG4IZ9K
"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.”533Please respect copyright.PENANA3xOWo2D406
533Please respect copyright.PENANAnaz6WubLjs
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.533Please respect copyright.PENANA3RFFIRRJkU
533Please respect copyright.PENANAXkzJdSJxL6
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.533Please respect copyright.PENANApTcJgPNiel
533Please respect copyright.PENANAETXYlqSiJO
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.533Please respect copyright.PENANAkRUwINwrn0
533Please respect copyright.PENANATYAaTjNbSD
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.533Please respect copyright.PENANAKlVUzQBigg
533Please respect copyright.PENANAAMmskEgDMO
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAxWdQATGl2l
533Please respect copyright.PENANARJinnQac9f
"Lets check it out," said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAhpwq9j6YBn
533Please respect copyright.PENANA1RPv7D67xP
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAPaRzX8TLnA
533Please respect copyright.PENANAoGc4wdU1Mh
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.533Please respect copyright.PENANAAPzRDwRFJl
533Please respect copyright.PENANAh16yQA9yGH
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAsS4ikoyXih
533Please respect copyright.PENANATqJxJWchdC
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANAmaJuHLKoTR
533Please respect copyright.PENANAnTzVthy9Fu
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAhVgmWwBLeZ
533Please respect copyright.PENANAReUaqVwbpQ
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.533Please respect copyright.PENANALZ7KQefsQg
533Please respect copyright.PENANAT69FDHiUJn
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAMUTTj4bwvQ
533Please respect copyright.PENANAKRIap5Guav
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAUKnxzUOicU
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.533Please respect copyright.PENANAjnCxd54MzG
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANANcPmK6GwXU
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAgq5uvOo8xB
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.533Please respect copyright.PENANAQdA38wwGJI
533Please respect copyright.PENANAghk2dhvpD5
"What do I do?" I asked.533Please respect copyright.PENANACjBFUXWw1p
533Please respect copyright.PENANAH9KvjccwrR
"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."533Please respect copyright.PENANAGkBrQetMtV
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.533Please respect copyright.PENANAFvXOGXx3Ld
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAf7F48ygGcf
533Please respect copyright.PENANAJlG6fKyqLM
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAIZAPXjYweN
533Please respect copyright.PENANAxB8ORP4aSw
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.533Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mb4PmtxUt
533Please respect copyright.PENANAFERWgHrFNe
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAjl1rk6oPtU
533Please respect copyright.PENANAgwXTLY2CZO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------533Please respect copyright.PENANA3toB820Xfn
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAim90qtNXmM
533Please respect copyright.PENANATIea1ZYNs7
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 533Please respect copyright.PENANAYNpMiJ54RM
533Please respect copyright.PENANAatPEaVymIJ
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.533Please respect copyright.PENANAdlOVcFDxF7
533Please respect copyright.PENANAmLvk6YaPTQ
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANA78vJfmW6Ou
533Please respect copyright.PENANAyaC1QLH6IP
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.533Please respect copyright.PENANAqxyLJACRDa
533Please respect copyright.PENANAvokidpHlfd
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAzWpVpvjVFo
533Please respect copyright.PENANAE4ivPuFjj5
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.533Please respect copyright.PENANAKlPeAiEQ0U
533Please respect copyright.PENANAEgpQWzO9eM
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAhZsbt1wCmk
533Please respect copyright.PENANAV03mVIJX31
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.533Please respect copyright.PENANAoLB3FUmGFO
"This is how," I said holding the tree.533Please respect copyright.PENANA4ghkjcxtue
533Please respect copyright.PENANApMd5NcZNmG
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.533Please respect copyright.PENANASPHAWfJliz
533Please respect copyright.PENANAmCXL0txoja
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAADUQx7rPZL
533Please respect copyright.PENANAdyKdDSJRiv
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAZGzdLcY7oy
533Please respect copyright.PENANA523hkZ8Rr8
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."533Please respect copyright.PENANAYArN9UMOHi
533Please respect copyright.PENANA6nblL3lCED
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.533Please respect copyright.PENANAQrfvWeeCXI
533Please respect copyright.PENANAOlkUrVFkaT
"Makes sense," responded JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANAKBjZxBiMiC
533Please respect copyright.PENANAedr7nJK22E
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.533Please respect copyright.PENANAUQORcz3fU3
533Please respect copyright.PENANAY2V6jnHIcb
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAwDoUrIf5gp
533Please respect copyright.PENANAcRLTokjBfj
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.533Please respect copyright.PENANAVtllQJOjpc
533Please respect copyright.PENANAFljjDwTv8n
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.533Please respect copyright.PENANAWzaM8PM02U
533Please respect copyright.PENANAmYPws5v9yp
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."533Please respect copyright.PENANA2ugIWeMngU
533Please respect copyright.PENANAzhV7GUNYen
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.533Please respect copyright.PENANABTGrWrf9lM
533Please respect copyright.PENANAKERmVzb2kW
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANABfvLi3ikBF
533Please respect copyright.PENANAN5ppCwtmfz
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.533Please respect copyright.PENANAUaIW46mdDs
533Please respect copyright.PENANAnuu2KnplZE
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.533Please respect copyright.PENANAG6nEkw4a24
533Please respect copyright.PENANA8tciKPD2fu
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.533Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5geoeX9mc
533Please respect copyright.PENANATcuGYfPYZL
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANADmLWP9ywYK
533Please respect copyright.PENANAbmcfj2v60A
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.533Please respect copyright.PENANAp4nhBke4Qw
533Please respect copyright.PENANAwQSa3R4maq
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANAtfp8ERaMlx
533Please respect copyright.PENANA3MLCINhfcv
"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."533Please respect copyright.PENANApdzE6UPEIB
533Please respect copyright.PENANAcMKDxMm5hB
“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.”533Please respect copyright.PENANAYAPeepf1yp
533Please respect copyright.PENANAMUegnaFI5d
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAusb3F3GpTr
533Please respect copyright.PENANAOpHELHnR1D
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANAtecUqiQxkz
533Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ3eurhEhX
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.533Please respect copyright.PENANAPppRViBfSM
533Please respect copyright.PENANAJpALrwXGj8
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAjQRTx3FqNI
533Please respect copyright.PENANAfwZ252Cxgw
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAYgU4xRNbhA
533Please respect copyright.PENANAvNKi7sjhqB
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANARXbHv9Y6o3
533Please respect copyright.PENANANb5YWO9Zku
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAAmMrlv0Z7B
533Please respect copyright.PENANAmtT8brxXaI
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.533Please respect copyright.PENANACMWzPnZd0E
533Please respect copyright.PENANAWLRrX6r1Id
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAV7G6fP1oDN
533Please respect copyright.PENANAR455EqVZVv
"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."533Please respect copyright.PENANAIdyvD2fAgA
533Please respect copyright.PENANA7HvkXtcvdZ
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."533Please respect copyright.PENANAPOTzfz8ATR
533Please respect copyright.PENANARaHVhvlzlL
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAZivbFqceha
533Please respect copyright.PENANA8sqN6HEPxK
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANA2LLuEna3gC
533Please respect copyright.PENANAU2ylxb8HVL
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.533Please respect copyright.PENANAEjb5sxO5Wd
533Please respect copyright.PENANA8adxwi47GL
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.533Please respect copyright.PENANAqOvcBcljIg
533Please respect copyright.PENANAk8YSM6WURW
"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."533Please respect copyright.PENANA4iuyW6V2BA
533Please respect copyright.PENANAUx2oZRe5MF
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.533Please respect copyright.PENANA8HKUuNYYMU
533Please respect copyright.PENANAvLoQobnqOB
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.533Please respect copyright.PENANAUoR2LQp2xZ
533Please respect copyright.PENANA5gU6dTIPPO
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
533Please respect copyright.PENANAIHdi2Miv09
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANA2BHXBlA2Mt
533Please respect copyright.PENANAXXnslZvaxQ
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9JlLZl0PA
533Please respect copyright.PENANA3uhm0vIdrp
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.533Please respect copyright.PENANAJir5atdtRy
533Please respect copyright.PENANAjzVrMf29jF
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.533Please respect copyright.PENANAUL3Phmw3FD
533Please respect copyright.PENANAqrmPbQ6X1V
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAdIW9Of1Zed
533Please respect copyright.PENANADFUVKMFlfD
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.533Please respect copyright.PENANALibD8Yu5E5
533Please respect copyright.PENANAHDDULFJpKt
"The creek," I responded.533Please respect copyright.PENANAgS5mEieusv
533Please respect copyright.PENANAbzEFSHAA2d
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAIEWujCl70H
533Please respect copyright.PENANAeuQwMNUSdg
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.533Please respect copyright.PENANAI9jsPxGwqo
533Please respect copyright.PENANABl10oJ44H9
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.533Please respect copyright.PENANAiJesVun4xM
533Please respect copyright.PENANAsLJLaRgPwJ
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANAGQWqt5G16a
533Please respect copyright.PENANAzRbHTcdP8e
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.533Please respect copyright.PENANAgtmNfj4PZu
533Please respect copyright.PENANAED4ubZ270S
"Do you like it?" he asked.533Please respect copyright.PENANAbhaQg0FH4Y
533Please respect copyright.PENANAC23xt2xN0r
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.533Please respect copyright.PENANAkmycG97oH0
533Please respect copyright.PENANADrmsxVLVJx
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANASPBOxAxGnu
533Please respect copyright.PENANA6huIdTH2Qn
"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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ62t5IsWV
533Please respect copyright.PENANAk5HT7BiKzG
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?"533Please respect copyright.PENANAvicf3MVg1L
533Please respect copyright.PENANAO0MmoUFnvM
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.533Please respect copyright.PENANAPqXxVYJOe0
533Please respect copyright.PENANAIGwSjEv8Xk
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAP5XTeKaGbg

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.533Please respect copyright.PENANANTow0qTBFy

"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?”533Please respect copyright.PENANArWL7O7iewJ
No one says anything so I go look for myself.533Please respect copyright.PENANAhtti0sBPw8
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.533Please respect copyright.PENANAuZhfjO8rdI
