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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAX8bki3Db62
477Please respect copyright.PENANADBuYAL0ZwF
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA6OfSglgMNb
477Please respect copyright.PENANA7QJFK119FL
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.477Please respect copyright.PENANAWEpHToUNFT
477Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wrel7D5sW
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."477Please respect copyright.PENANAUXJsjeB6gR
477Please respect copyright.PENANAscPeD7eRgE
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.477Please respect copyright.PENANALlbsUFvVbE
477Please respect copyright.PENANAVEsCiOUSVG
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA8jeUJbAKHs
477Please respect copyright.PENANA2R3tG25XnQ
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA17GfARzp33
477Please respect copyright.PENANAgaOYpJPcWw
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAZUvlWhWlzc
477Please respect copyright.PENANA54dy9iKWjh
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAxY1uYd93GD
477Please respect copyright.PENANAVOJb6PJjdA
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.477Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xvuv7FLmT
477Please respect copyright.PENANA6cbv5cxafA
"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?"477Please respect copyright.PENANAdLnMNIjZXp
477Please respect copyright.PENANAIFbcVH9zHq
"I have a full canteen still," I said.477Please respect copyright.PENANAmZCZGIJlNq
477Please respect copyright.PENANA4gqgndoX94
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA870p5KpFNk
477Please respect copyright.PENANAfuhLrHj3KL
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAdSRbjRmJB1
477Please respect copyright.PENANAIuoK0swqbe
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.477Please respect copyright.PENANAz6VNd5Kqpv
477Please respect copyright.PENANAJkUhJNIGOl
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.477Please respect copyright.PENANAhg2YlkAVSv
477Please respect copyright.PENANAJZU13zJ7tD
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.477Please respect copyright.PENANAMK65fv9C7M
477Please respect copyright.PENANA47Y2sBQ2n6
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAqcB3DKtctR
477Please respect copyright.PENANAfxEaRzaZvi
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.477Please respect copyright.PENANAndqT9qRT9O
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnyCsdHorWH
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.477Please respect copyright.PENANAdvoEtf58o0
477Please respect copyright.PENANAn56ElsyG6E
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.477Please respect copyright.PENANAhsgP2pBTGm
477Please respect copyright.PENANAjcW7Nfosho
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAqTSnNcIWS6
477Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjZdXdpPO
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANA8YKdtPmCPU
477Please respect copyright.PENANAyIhfv01ujf
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.477Please respect copyright.PENANANKNNzWiK8U
477Please respect copyright.PENANA8A07XNjecm
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAxBeoFIqxX8
477Please respect copyright.PENANACrSNqf8iaz
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.477Please respect copyright.PENANAFBkXRCzRie
477Please respect copyright.PENANA1GKBsdBwYW
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"477Please respect copyright.PENANAx3aVMPL4dr
477Please respect copyright.PENANAgz78x03v4u
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.477Please respect copyright.PENANAdHEtSoBN52
477Please respect copyright.PENANAYCtFMCLWxe
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAoFDQms64jf
477Please respect copyright.PENANAy5uD4pvKld
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAc4GfQgx81c
477Please respect copyright.PENANAYaPtfEuP0t
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA1nc7c2wLzw
477Please respect copyright.PENANAMlbHUkyXlB
"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."477Please respect copyright.PENANAs1uNrV2QWp
477Please respect copyright.PENANA0OEiHzc4FO
“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,"
477Please respect copyright.PENANAwpiGe6HrVK
"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.”477Please respect copyright.PENANA5nF56SELCx
477Please respect copyright.PENANA25i7jNOJLE
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.477Please respect copyright.PENANATPypytNdTx
477Please respect copyright.PENANAuMyzJFG28s
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.477Please respect copyright.PENANAK54ufwYjQl
477Please respect copyright.PENANAAtentFMb1x
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.477Please respect copyright.PENANAgwTwqAbegK
477Please respect copyright.PENANAyDCqU90dbj
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.477Please respect copyright.PENANAIPaO9TU2qI
477Please respect copyright.PENANA86AxepVrs4
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAIMYfLYVxsC
477Please respect copyright.PENANAq0dt0vhNHX
"Lets check it out," said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANABaHMuKNLIO
477Please respect copyright.PENANAOxSyQyBbWh
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAufYKHp0Mu0
477Please respect copyright.PENANAqtrTajKxgH
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.477Please respect copyright.PENANApnvBrFf8XE
477Please respect copyright.PENANAN1fxCJ3Wm5
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANA5EZRmasxnL
477Please respect copyright.PENANAuIfs8eTT60
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANAPOqpd2plzI
477Please respect copyright.PENANAzeHzG8L7R1
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANASeSaTCuhVk
477Please respect copyright.PENANAjUAVmOk2t7
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.477Please respect copyright.PENANAZZI6pRdrxe
477Please respect copyright.PENANAvzcyG9s7zF
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAl7dMUUIZBB
477Please respect copyright.PENANAwbXYmGDbzx
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANABVIfchHoQo
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.477Please respect copyright.PENANABC5u7Hb5Pi
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAzIDAEsbC8B
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANARckmEGyudz
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.477Please respect copyright.PENANAZzhvX28deR
477Please respect copyright.PENANAJifGouJzG0
"What do I do?" I asked.477Please respect copyright.PENANA79WzyXlXZ8
477Please respect copyright.PENANAB5ahQjEAgM
"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."477Please respect copyright.PENANAqiiQ5vKsR5
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.477Please respect copyright.PENANAbY8vlPAGGg
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAFM5TakZeeQ
477Please respect copyright.PENANAuCnidHNCL2
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANASqHcjoW54N
477Please respect copyright.PENANAfN9vm0SuhD
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.477Please respect copyright.PENANAN9XhLhV09v
477Please respect copyright.PENANAHDBuFXdOZX
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAQOetHGkZao
477Please respect copyright.PENANAKl5TKEvwF3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------477Please respect copyright.PENANAmbGF7CrVgQ
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANATKpYIcnYB3
477Please respect copyright.PENANA2TSue9tAxo
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 477Please respect copyright.PENANAjjhW8xExGm
477Please respect copyright.PENANAacQjyNWEHN
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.477Please respect copyright.PENANAjFV239SIy8
477Please respect copyright.PENANAZWEz1oOhvg
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAIfvjk2QypB
477Please respect copyright.PENANA2bhIEwLtNp
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.477Please respect copyright.PENANAkpqfuczsZq
477Please respect copyright.PENANAceE0OAXNEE
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAOVPMrpEpCm
477Please respect copyright.PENANABjeJVPRfF8
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.477Please respect copyright.PENANAvESwMW3kay
477Please respect copyright.PENANA32rqtzMqqo
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAckPcZdM8aF
477Please respect copyright.PENANAdijxJ23Ikz
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.477Please respect copyright.PENANAuFgK8ZAypt
"This is how," I said holding the tree.477Please respect copyright.PENANA39J3xwgl2v
477Please respect copyright.PENANAPIRUPIJGv3
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.477Please respect copyright.PENANAb5ziiQo5zm
477Please respect copyright.PENANAXkcRouK9vi
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAFUzlnTyjlF
477Please respect copyright.PENANAt7o7BfSi43
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANA02RQFfQpbF
477Please respect copyright.PENANA3QfVqZbXjD
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."477Please respect copyright.PENANA3vcDXuXGXb
477Please respect copyright.PENANAJxfWtufPpk
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.477Please respect copyright.PENANAKHmpOevg4r
477Please respect copyright.PENANAB2uqAQQWLL
"Makes sense," responded JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAYYpNOZVBlQ
477Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ8TvTUmtZ
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.477Please respect copyright.PENANAJthixr61B2
477Please respect copyright.PENANA0mq2p3DrcT
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAFgiRvCxDLo
477Please respect copyright.PENANADf8hdJ7LwQ
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.477Please respect copyright.PENANA97Shf4M7xt
477Please respect copyright.PENANAhY2MM3ZGJM
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.477Please respect copyright.PENANANwdz45C6Au
477Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ7LoVReuR
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."477Please respect copyright.PENANAWU3IfFyhYI
477Please respect copyright.PENANAqHJkcpfptK
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.477Please respect copyright.PENANAzHuGgIXFv3
477Please respect copyright.PENANAB9waMw4J4B
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAx2tJ9BfpaS
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnb9NrIMBTn
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.477Please respect copyright.PENANASo7j04en0z
477Please respect copyright.PENANA2dep1dC31q
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.477Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bmgKHqi3
477Please respect copyright.PENANABlBrGDuuNr
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.477Please respect copyright.PENANA2cCTlhRTnF
477Please respect copyright.PENANAhZubpXCK8d
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZOTYTnw7T
477Please respect copyright.PENANA1oB3X9KfZI
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.477Please respect copyright.PENANAiFGToO6YTA
477Please respect copyright.PENANA7XRY7j96ys
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANABCIz954bqP
477Please respect copyright.PENANAFNFt5RV1x7
"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."477Please respect copyright.PENANATPYsartH5R
477Please respect copyright.PENANAfRTSts9HpZ
“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.”477Please respect copyright.PENANA18UE5XsuTZ
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnft0TXvo40
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANArFYORkDyw2
477Please respect copyright.PENANAlbdffuP1ky
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANAUhgNtHV4YR
477Please respect copyright.PENANAc2gHgCkNLr
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.477Please respect copyright.PENANACAirQbNT0e
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWFKNC9b9Qf
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAA0lrXOAt61
477Please respect copyright.PENANAroEixDOPM6
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAwHsjZREr4o
477Please respect copyright.PENANAt4XVMzgZqN
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAYDLP38mFi5
477Please respect copyright.PENANACa5ODSfOB3
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANADCEx2RWPqZ
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnPHsynPPQr
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.477Please respect copyright.PENANA6JjzYObBw2
477Please respect copyright.PENANAIDYy5dqwSe
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANARRupF7Tbgm
477Please respect copyright.PENANAsR9Mu2FUl2
"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."477Please respect copyright.PENANAJHOCT0scIA
477Please respect copyright.PENANAKNUR4lYcKs
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."477Please respect copyright.PENANAnSCm4KkPxG
477Please respect copyright.PENANADqSarats2I
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANA6gbnfmPFFw
477Please respect copyright.PENANAzF4CJivACR
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAj86bwafRkV
477Please respect copyright.PENANAbHshJ8AYQo
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.477Please respect copyright.PENANA5DCOfvxxGy
477Please respect copyright.PENANAil6dISJAbi
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.477Please respect copyright.PENANAugehT5GpWF
477Please respect copyright.PENANA1sqgkB9BZ8
"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."477Please respect copyright.PENANAXeN4qeUEaV
477Please respect copyright.PENANAlsHUMi3GBA
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.477Please respect copyright.PENANAnLroG18Rhw
477Please respect copyright.PENANAl98VCN2vyK
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.477Please respect copyright.PENANArVTCHhPbkE
477Please respect copyright.PENANAHnTSa2aw3W
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
477Please respect copyright.PENANALifupH5j0w
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANARnxASnBEI0
477Please respect copyright.PENANAPq9DsyWe9j
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANACjyP0KBszV
477Please respect copyright.PENANAtmeq0DyIkS
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.477Please respect copyright.PENANAeSixLa8A13
477Please respect copyright.PENANAjXRNOkJHuG
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.477Please respect copyright.PENANAVkrWvtatKH
477Please respect copyright.PENANAqopr4ZUs5L
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAORAPvxDAAX
477Please respect copyright.PENANAp3lFdo0Tv0
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.477Please respect copyright.PENANAoNsoarYvKI
477Please respect copyright.PENANAls2TbpuWlP
"The creek," I responded.477Please respect copyright.PENANAo05DZvJsOA
477Please respect copyright.PENANABWHlDsf9oo
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAd5t9WvE5gQ
477Please respect copyright.PENANAZezsqAFTou
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.477Please respect copyright.PENANA3u2NSVLVI8
477Please respect copyright.PENANAB2viuBJVr5
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.477Please respect copyright.PENANAu7ZimjM9wB
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnddWGb30AP
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANAKXJIVq2YJD
477Please respect copyright.PENANANkiLDWhVqi
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.477Please respect copyright.PENANAdmvGmPei0U
477Please respect copyright.PENANAfOpby2BCaQ
"Do you like it?" he asked.477Please respect copyright.PENANAZRj8k7y50Z
477Please respect copyright.PENANAABDwOuHX9M
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.477Please respect copyright.PENANAff1B67ybTC
477Please respect copyright.PENANAFlJx27FiDH
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANAqGHM8g3w8G
477Please respect copyright.PENANAN320NVX1en
"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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAMjO0ZlFTuD
477Please respect copyright.PENANAee4b9pDjUa
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?"477Please respect copyright.PENANAKadL0yk9qn
477Please respect copyright.PENANAvR0pqYubI3
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.477Please respect copyright.PENANAl1T02NkdXC

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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAKcpkmsfW5L

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.477Please respect copyright.PENANAWdI7iFDuAT

"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?”477Please respect copyright.PENANAAQE4dRJXdK
No one says anything so I go look for myself.477Please respect copyright.PENANAaHvsSuVuEc
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.477Please respect copyright.PENANAA9ZNu3k6BT
