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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFKmHdymOcr
530Please respect copyright.PENANACWV60x9Dsn
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAiX5yAqiaE3
530Please respect copyright.PENANABFiSmG5eI2
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANA9CQIJceaNt
530Please respect copyright.PENANASzTql7zqer
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."530Please respect copyright.PENANAQshXQh47E1
530Please respect copyright.PENANAs9LzVYi0yP
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.530Please respect copyright.PENANAp80lIUCd50
530Please respect copyright.PENANACa0rjVJTI3
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAMbnhrZybcx
530Please respect copyright.PENANAa6T4tW6RR6
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAc6RcO7oTeb
530Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kcu3QWtMp
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAhdlzZGkyqo
530Please respect copyright.PENANAlMZCXHESOt
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAewEM53uVWH
530Please respect copyright.PENANA8XqoaGn7Yw
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.530Please respect copyright.PENANAoZbNk2WK3b
530Please respect copyright.PENANAq35hWg6JL9
"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?"530Please respect copyright.PENANARiqX1gT0up
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZGluEA7EOh
"I have a full canteen still," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANA8hAbHLNmC0
530Please respect copyright.PENANARCuzERiWcK
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAk3xgjLIJli
530Please respect copyright.PENANAkQMBWdT5EE
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAZZm3vjyuVr
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZsOyenodqC
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.530Please respect copyright.PENANAReO0LwsIMN
530Please respect copyright.PENANA0lnfgOrOVo
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.530Please respect copyright.PENANAHa4saY1AmH
530Please respect copyright.PENANAQbpTnKNxDD
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.530Please respect copyright.PENANAaXqKuId9al
530Please respect copyright.PENANAEKXpMooO4w
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAwz8JZYrLKZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANALChT0NVIbi
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.530Please respect copyright.PENANAzHV4PWM1bm
530Please respect copyright.PENANAiu4p2DPX6S
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.530Please respect copyright.PENANAu1WeBEwKcb
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3wtvqcea5R
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.530Please respect copyright.PENANAw37pbLfmdC
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzk6c5x4oGE
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAqWeOG47ODK
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZzkvj9xhP4
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANARgfZFM12Oe
530Please respect copyright.PENANACc1PindR1B
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6YPQc4Rz8g
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1JSk9VyqWM
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAtYJBsOc6yg
530Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ3qGAVDhb
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.530Please respect copyright.PENANAb0yAFJR5ca
530Please respect copyright.PENANApALjcU7KjM
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"530Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rp5tYjSyK
530Please respect copyright.PENANAqXs02zzbO3
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.530Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z9kIuLB0U
530Please respect copyright.PENANAtelCcD3SjI
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAkPolthvBq8
530Please respect copyright.PENANAkXltbd4tVB
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAx1EA7TKDIs
530Please respect copyright.PENANAlwvgdNBLRH
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAjNTQtGQn7R
530Please respect copyright.PENANABa1CCIB5oG
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAOmtOAeSol5
530Please respect copyright.PENANAUXCxuA4jEV
“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,"
530Please respect copyright.PENANAotPg56GkPm
"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.”530Please respect copyright.PENANAvqtdDeHI9z
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsrYNjjDisY
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.530Please respect copyright.PENANA04L9qWIuNB
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7FSsDegFiS
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.530Please respect copyright.PENANAsj5AEQnRVs
530Please respect copyright.PENANAerrhlAv0zy
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.530Please respect copyright.PENANAtYdchJgVE8
530Please respect copyright.PENANAGlkiABKWC0
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.530Please respect copyright.PENANALKrLHipHlg
530Please respect copyright.PENANAEY2zkLS74M
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ0AEYjtPT
530Please respect copyright.PENANAbYcJaqJqdr
"Lets check it out," said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVXFBO49W96
530Please respect copyright.PENANAQQFrYLNSQe
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAXnaLXzCFVx
530Please respect copyright.PENANArTMrAkArK4
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.530Please respect copyright.PENANAUWV8JO9ZbH
530Please respect copyright.PENANADpTcv0MTgO
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ3DNTBGcS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAio2uYos3pi
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANAXfvTOqO4SX
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdnZpVvjEc5
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANACB6D8a21BO
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsebd0p7dPm
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.530Please respect copyright.PENANAtek2bWhhEy
530Please respect copyright.PENANA9LdgvF7UJJ
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6MUJ4L89Hg
530Please respect copyright.PENANAYbF97fjc2a
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANABeAyXjdd9R
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.530Please respect copyright.PENANAOnRdXLsblO
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAxeWFHe3vz6
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAQUWZKxohj7
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.530Please respect copyright.PENANALbb11kp1zu
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsmFEfT2Ybq
"What do I do?" I asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANA18acBqVCGS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdHy9DTVSF1
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAqMtYRHbgU3
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANA9sr3bIuVqX
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAH5w9rpXhnZ
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1Hq3CAXq6i
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAKicL8UDaaQ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyOqFwTZyqF
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.530Please respect copyright.PENANArlga0SxM4N
530Please respect copyright.PENANANtDAHCQY39
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAb5ZUzXmn71
530Please respect copyright.PENANAqOsQ0qsxxf
--------------------------------------------------------------------------530Please respect copyright.PENANAMVV3hvteYk
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA7gTwxtNM8r
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZLi7U3mBPe
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 530Please respect copyright.PENANA5dLI2BlUTL
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1xxS5A7s0Y
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.530Please respect copyright.PENANAPwubVI5RPl
530Please respect copyright.PENANAFdzuMXySPa
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAFyoG66eyyR
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOSj0a0XqeD
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.530Please respect copyright.PENANAW46uA7VAXv
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZZkuJJap0x
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAokHkHbowHp
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzSLBYSXrQA
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.530Please respect copyright.PENANAPbySNAi8wl
530Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ3fIBfNs3
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA3pPWLoVeKP
530Please respect copyright.PENANA5jEB86NvNL
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.530Please respect copyright.PENANAuFMrynJBt0
"This is how," I said holding the tree.530Please respect copyright.PENANAnDMnoVuoJG
530Please respect copyright.PENANAoQMwItkq3G
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.530Please respect copyright.PENANAWLAc4f98ga
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcCACuSHruc
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAxdVjyn2ntw
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZFvCT3h1NJ
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAEklpxOMmxX
530Please respect copyright.PENANAi6YLAH2E8r
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."530Please respect copyright.PENANATjNYLb8bWJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAaTh1QwsSjt
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.530Please respect copyright.PENANASut6aiguh7
530Please respect copyright.PENANA87k83Q0Ssq
"Makes sense," responded JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4J7LcCYFUT
530Please respect copyright.PENANApgQ7Vz7AnZ
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.530Please respect copyright.PENANACykMz5RQSS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcawnVYj46t
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAxodzFT4S2b
530Please respect copyright.PENANAAnqrN1lCAc
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.530Please respect copyright.PENANAYdP8ne6jXO
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1TC3IBXOP6
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.530Please respect copyright.PENANA66z0tsBmIu
530Please respect copyright.PENANAG1py72aykO
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."530Please respect copyright.PENANAz32owmIat2
530Please respect copyright.PENANAsouVdqXmn9
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.530Please respect copyright.PENANADwrHU1n2nE
530Please respect copyright.PENANAw6unAUk5EH
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAjkC5hqo4Dp
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZM3TSBY5BW
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.530Please respect copyright.PENANAq7UptWJLf7
530Please respect copyright.PENANAyonAU0KfG4
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANAqQDf6DZW9T
530Please respect copyright.PENANABqD1xYp3hv
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.530Please respect copyright.PENANAYCnbVWvSHv
530Please respect copyright.PENANAzR6X2qDUu6
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAigWBiE1jWL
530Please respect copyright.PENANAH6LGt8rA8l
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.530Please respect copyright.PENANAr411t119sX
530Please respect copyright.PENANAIyHYox5dnn
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANAhLvLMSIRwW
530Please respect copyright.PENANANKxM9f8BuD
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAtkEWZYAYCU
530Please respect copyright.PENANA0yq12zm06n
“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.”530Please respect copyright.PENANA79HVCBH1Nc
530Please respect copyright.PENANA1zW6ubziTu
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA9d1YYC5rUm
530Please respect copyright.PENANArd6uANo7Zt
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANAnoynqTzZ2F
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZEPimmY9By
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.530Please respect copyright.PENANAzYkbUVHDR9
530Please respect copyright.PENANAZo9VlBwaD2
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4WE5w6SL1Z
530Please respect copyright.PENANARR0Vt19Z4f
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAEptJv5xur8
530Please respect copyright.PENANAxYp7laF4kb
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAckF2AfMr2q
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOOYTJ3gFBS
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAuC4vQeHlWx
530Please respect copyright.PENANA8HHAZWrNEl
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.530Please respect copyright.PENANAovoTtbWwp0
530Please respect copyright.PENANAbNhXQImoZf
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANANo59cj6SOs
530Please respect copyright.PENANAupZ3p6AEsZ
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANASvUspzc3rD
530Please respect copyright.PENANA3uVchp3Nii
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."530Please respect copyright.PENANA9an6gqSIdQ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAqKm70bcfSs
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAGZHGK07vEh
530Please respect copyright.PENANA0T1f5JPwRq
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAoW1TNfGs75
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7W3IxQodpV
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.530Please respect copyright.PENANAiDH6rZ5CLr
530Please respect copyright.PENANAkaozHgqtWK
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.530Please respect copyright.PENANAS1IPloiBts
530Please respect copyright.PENANADV5TSBNrBY
"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."530Please respect copyright.PENANAxf7zSAppSf
530Please respect copyright.PENANAeCJYpcKBhd
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.530Please respect copyright.PENANAK2xGeWSMY0
530Please respect copyright.PENANATxKO7H8VCW
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.530Please respect copyright.PENANAdTpmMxlwP3
530Please respect copyright.PENANAPo9eDVTnlo
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
530Please respect copyright.PENANAk8rsBxn6gZ
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANAXc45nH64A2
530Please respect copyright.PENANAHAdlVmAnTo
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAvbkr6Bi1PJ
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7q7hRTE26O
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.530Please respect copyright.PENANAb2ZE5TBeq5
530Please respect copyright.PENANALum3w1AWv3
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.530Please respect copyright.PENANAmuXcPuZf2i
530Please respect copyright.PENANAI7EccPM65L
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANA8c4NF118yy
530Please respect copyright.PENANA7dMYkYGx8s
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.530Please respect copyright.PENANArG81sCjDr7
530Please respect copyright.PENANAOR9MgvsouK
"The creek," I responded.530Please respect copyright.PENANA3NOlmji2J6
530Please respect copyright.PENANAeGMRLLyFeV
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAjIyg6DFO6C
530Please respect copyright.PENANAgwYUkfHj98
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.530Please respect copyright.PENANAOFqu7bi5gQ
530Please respect copyright.PENANAl08zB7CEC2
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.530Please respect copyright.PENANAp9duEO72VT
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcaftY2Wxhq
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANAvjjlPSeljH
530Please respect copyright.PENANAaDF5TMVxgX
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.530Please respect copyright.PENANAYTy7YmxgNC
530Please respect copyright.PENANAcH4XLeQNMO
"Do you like it?" he asked.530Please respect copyright.PENANArPpnZQkOiS
530Please respect copyright.PENANAbIDJaDoIPh
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.530Please respect copyright.PENANAImVAwj6Bht
530Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXovEbRWJ
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANAVi7vbocfZ2
530Please respect copyright.PENANABnFofamhhw
"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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAIoNJWzM5aF
530Please respect copyright.PENANAoGbpmXOsSO
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?"530Please respect copyright.PENANAXnM8MEnI31
530Please respect copyright.PENANA4aKMokIBWn
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.530Please respect copyright.PENANANAwOvV9a5D

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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAbMSZoQZHjn

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.530Please respect copyright.PENANAnlfd3OE3d5

"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?”530Please respect copyright.PENANAWo0r7oi41J
No one says anything so I go look for myself.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6x5uE99J1W
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.530Please respect copyright.PENANAIy94gn1xUO
