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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAW6WeOQ6zbU
514Please respect copyright.PENANAu5R3ttPlHx
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANArwrC53VFTK
514Please respect copyright.PENANAuBnw1MuT71
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.514Please respect copyright.PENANAXubXdMhKQP
514Please respect copyright.PENANAk243oXafD0
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."514Please respect copyright.PENANABl148rT40I
514Please respect copyright.PENANArJcrn1CEKj
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.514Please respect copyright.PENANADkUWGnGYHI
514Please respect copyright.PENANANMFLWRbHQo
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAlxSz6xx7nl
514Please respect copyright.PENANAkXuIw1MoWy
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAfBJDKxWYLG
514Please respect copyright.PENANAbS4WXtB9bj
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAyaSch2eycs
514Please respect copyright.PENANAAfnQHIoc68
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAAL23Cq2Q7Q
514Please respect copyright.PENANAmMxX8CjG1v
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.514Please respect copyright.PENANApzaHndoAlq
514Please respect copyright.PENANAM0FLICKdNJ
"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?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAGHIWEpt0lh
514Please respect copyright.PENANA3xjArYXcyV
"I have a full canteen still," I said.514Please respect copyright.PENANA7cVMfRYXbI
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfa16Lw7t05
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA24hFNwxTYv
514Please respect copyright.PENANAS5evn1uhvw
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANATEJdXOfxzK
514Please respect copyright.PENANA6NcHECRLgS
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.514Please respect copyright.PENANAVSpIcYAOIL
514Please respect copyright.PENANACN8KQ0NktV
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.514Please respect copyright.PENANAJUrD3ZGrul
514Please respect copyright.PENANA52MKRHV9zz
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.514Please respect copyright.PENANAw3wxcQ4mkK
514Please respect copyright.PENANAkHyIQSCle3
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAPaW96vBMN5
514Please respect copyright.PENANAEGhm8CxW4K
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.514Please respect copyright.PENANAjK3SvtgmTG
514Please respect copyright.PENANA0cNQOOZVLY
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.514Please respect copyright.PENANAqjWQzWg8q9
514Please respect copyright.PENANA99P6VBOfY9
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.514Please respect copyright.PENANAiSAFxFT2nn
514Please respect copyright.PENANA6eig4CcJJs
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA1Siyo5P7Va
514Please respect copyright.PENANAyeFeoDsjfp
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAR3lv8Vc2r6
514Please respect copyright.PENANAJyvM9tmSle
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.514Please respect copyright.PENANAJQJcvD0ESf
514Please respect copyright.PENANAGwenjqiq1K
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9XVxjQBZ3
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfkEC0yDSH7
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.514Please respect copyright.PENANATr0ZgrgUrA
514Please respect copyright.PENANACubYJN5Pxg
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAh5d7rTB0RL
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfoDKFxlmNr
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.514Please respect copyright.PENANArISQjxgrgi
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfbfBSHXqwY
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAbEXFGR5Lsm
514Please respect copyright.PENANA1lP2x32ezw
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANASq9NvlY7qC
514Please respect copyright.PENANAFnxmlWUTiC
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAx3IBRpLsl0
514Please respect copyright.PENANA53v6CXzJ9s
"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."514Please respect copyright.PENANAzEunUky00H
514Please respect copyright.PENANAQSLacXb2VR
“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,"
514Please respect copyright.PENANAdtLwzBYuY0
"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.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAMxipFf0qak
514Please respect copyright.PENANA6zL1WY8cvu
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.514Please respect copyright.PENANAnb27FniVDi
514Please respect copyright.PENANAPVSCIuisTZ
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.514Please respect copyright.PENANAx3C1HzQ3ma
514Please respect copyright.PENANACqfE8zCqau
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.514Please respect copyright.PENANAZOepA7R6Z9
514Please respect copyright.PENANAn8ksvsYICk
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.514Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kj7wIwlrl
514Please respect copyright.PENANAWOzlniOmDJ
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA9jdBdzikbk
514Please respect copyright.PENANAYkb2rkp91H
"Lets check it out," said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAkGOlnB22hx
514Please respect copyright.PENANAP6cySK0RxN
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANASzTfySMSdw
514Please respect copyright.PENANArZZ0M6lh5B
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.514Please respect copyright.PENANADuvui7xtTo
514Please respect copyright.PENANAZIWDH4aJue
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAvdBWEIGUAr
514Please respect copyright.PENANAMcVjuTMZiR
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANAfZmgITeFVU
514Please respect copyright.PENANA55oTJB3udY
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANA2KeXXry0Cr
514Please respect copyright.PENANAC2nDDkYRJR
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.514Please respect copyright.PENANAmTfcbsY6ZY
514Please respect copyright.PENANAuYr23Txy7G
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANADHMhHQPASP
514Please respect copyright.PENANAUpwXci8DH2
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANALyfig7YwWM
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.514Please respect copyright.PENANAqLBMQVOwCz
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAzsZ2H9iUDM
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ1LV9EmA0
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.514Please respect copyright.PENANAdzTk2BZkVN
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfDb0MTNAlQ
"What do I do?" I asked.514Please respect copyright.PENANASrZl2eS7pQ
514Please respect copyright.PENANAmXd5Yxl4oF
"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."514Please respect copyright.PENANAeKeJiIhkz6
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.514Please respect copyright.PENANADP61QwQlH0
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANApBoOvXSCE9
514Please respect copyright.PENANAPrEvGtB1CM
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANALJhQLVlo7y
514Please respect copyright.PENANAZoogxaBdqT
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.514Please respect copyright.PENANAjvoOwLirB1
514Please respect copyright.PENANAaFxEjKINyr
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAauVsonqkuy
514Please respect copyright.PENANAW0PeRyfvnN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------514Please respect copyright.PENANAJkSVEjAGdb
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAEmh4tBqNwv
514Please respect copyright.PENANAtUJ7T56E6G
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 514Please respect copyright.PENANAGK9b8hc0OK
514Please respect copyright.PENANAxS0viuH9X9
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.514Please respect copyright.PENANAXkRdp1qnS9
514Please respect copyright.PENANAFzhP3jupdZ
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAlMQ6QXmTla
514Please respect copyright.PENANAucc8jgAfG8
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.514Please respect copyright.PENANARvvRpdrdN3
514Please respect copyright.PENANAQUGcY22Q70
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANALru8TVKymk
514Please respect copyright.PENANAIs5VFEkwSX
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.514Please respect copyright.PENANAeWgqYexWcP
514Please respect copyright.PENANAElHyA7VGMU
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAcNIY2z9ebD
514Please respect copyright.PENANAIGATBiKImR
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.514Please respect copyright.PENANA7W0Ci70iu2
"This is how," I said holding the tree.514Please respect copyright.PENANAhkCGCC2Cyi
514Please respect copyright.PENANAkjYl2Gdpb9
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.514Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6RlrgdT4k
514Please respect copyright.PENANAUcnBPdR5BH
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAygyBgjXzgl
514Please respect copyright.PENANAhd1P8PRm29
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAs3IjiF2VMT
514Please respect copyright.PENANAq2LHt1iXuA
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."514Please respect copyright.PENANAxnG8Iiqzm1
514Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Q4s6H4Yi
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.514Please respect copyright.PENANAtAnPxfD714
514Please respect copyright.PENANAeVGsEXDlaI
"Makes sense," responded JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANAGMp3EaVZZv
514Please respect copyright.PENANAHEwAXoV1Xb
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.514Please respect copyright.PENANAzN7ZzDL0rO
514Please respect copyright.PENANA6SM85AgL2j
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAym4mEKLmJv
514Please respect copyright.PENANA30J8q701Vj
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.514Please respect copyright.PENANAUPD1dsevj2
514Please respect copyright.PENANAlWRlHFFRvB
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.514Please respect copyright.PENANAYc15LWFzrZ
514Please respect copyright.PENANAJRPxHEcMuy
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."514Please respect copyright.PENANA3B8wTXlDkU
514Please respect copyright.PENANApltPgJvfQL
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.514Please respect copyright.PENANAOXJ4DHaEFG
514Please respect copyright.PENANAfB3VjBdgdI
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAtEKCyZHaLo
514Please respect copyright.PENANALu9KFfiNiG
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.514Please respect copyright.PENANAPQBYptC3uf
514Please respect copyright.PENANAqGwWn1RafV
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.514Please respect copyright.PENANAGdxTKwUTpZ
514Please respect copyright.PENANAGJAOurwXcf
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.514Please respect copyright.PENANAKBo873xgpS
514Please respect copyright.PENANANsikEbbeCh
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAyBwKnUi0EM
514Please respect copyright.PENANAyKODu6jLdq
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.514Please respect copyright.PENANAiOrabASgn5
514Please respect copyright.PENANAHhXJcmOsCw
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANAEnlOYFBr8d
514Please respect copyright.PENANA2E67V1WxYZ
"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."514Please respect copyright.PENANATFmlOQ8KRB
514Please respect copyright.PENANAFJL5Tdf8vi
“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.”514Please respect copyright.PENANAR2HXG5F4gx
514Please respect copyright.PENANAaVp3PNHm4z
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAkfjpP2I2EE
514Please respect copyright.PENANAhI5c0VTU9G
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANAI6HGgklMZP
514Please respect copyright.PENANAT4y7SaXi48
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.514Please respect copyright.PENANAGtA7uhlP96
514Please respect copyright.PENANAVURu3rX8io
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAcDghH2bKB7
514Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZUrgzPAKy
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA8L5YttsLRz
514Please respect copyright.PENANAvoiXinflrV
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAwqUp2sB7Vj
514Please respect copyright.PENANAoZcfUBYmGD
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAEtzilvjwrZ
514Please respect copyright.PENANA2aw9WGVfLR
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.514Please respect copyright.PENANAKM0w1nUYUp
514Please respect copyright.PENANAXS5JG4zbfM
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAKDJPDENa1v
514Please respect copyright.PENANALZ297PzhhA
"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."514Please respect copyright.PENANA56I0FnNXqf
514Please respect copyright.PENANAvg7rGKcUgL
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."514Please respect copyright.PENANAbqGdUjXom6
514Please respect copyright.PENANAEjnYfDvyNF
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAnkGrll5gbv
514Please respect copyright.PENANAupPVWSr42b
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANA4o8IGMIJqf
514Please respect copyright.PENANAcNIJ9TGIdo
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.514Please respect copyright.PENANAfViBzgsNQ5
514Please respect copyright.PENANAOlCqvoOsi1
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.514Please respect copyright.PENANA0StLjpZ6CO
514Please respect copyright.PENANAPEMyAzmx1e
"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."514Please respect copyright.PENANAZnyOlk1gdd
514Please respect copyright.PENANAqLFpqhj84i
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.514Please respect copyright.PENANABjyROrFSm0
514Please respect copyright.PENANAn4KyGNFcxT
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.514Please respect copyright.PENANAAPQfTAnxYf
514Please respect copyright.PENANAhTfHehqkem
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
514Please respect copyright.PENANATrBcBg3R0e
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANAwkWTzLx7Cy
514Please respect copyright.PENANADcZfwpnJCP
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAFD9AKYN0jd
514Please respect copyright.PENANAmPzk481oQo
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.514Please respect copyright.PENANANvYofeOG4R
514Please respect copyright.PENANAxxs98X7LP4
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.514Please respect copyright.PENANA8PWosXv4n6
514Please respect copyright.PENANA4kPvlPZzJO
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAnCddWEowEL
514Please respect copyright.PENANA7XBq3thAcY
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.514Please respect copyright.PENANAKC4wldNaZ2
514Please respect copyright.PENANAbIkrG0Hybi
"The creek," I responded.514Please respect copyright.PENANALDoul8viKF
514Please respect copyright.PENANAEY0mSOaeGj
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAUSoTzFzqNV
514Please respect copyright.PENANAgbyYt1HVLE
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.514Please respect copyright.PENANA2EcDjp6m2L
514Please respect copyright.PENANAuDqMiLSdJH
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.514Please respect copyright.PENANAeRjOVVBqR5
514Please respect copyright.PENANAtYe5aYQbLa
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANAxhfP6G6vt3
514Please respect copyright.PENANAmcKgWQ3NF7
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.514Please respect copyright.PENANA0GQdh8eYWK
514Please respect copyright.PENANAjTcQio6kZy
"Do you like it?" he asked.514Please respect copyright.PENANAM0PnfiVOYy
514Please respect copyright.PENANAlbSDNbdOj4
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.514Please respect copyright.PENANA0MOpdjvEr5
514Please respect copyright.PENANAHlNWRFOueP
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANAFK2lTG8bhA
514Please respect copyright.PENANAkdMcfM03Qz
"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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAnWAu37qfVw
514Please respect copyright.PENANAHYp2HrNPmy
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?"514Please respect copyright.PENANAS5uNTVoVtA
514Please respect copyright.PENANAqIxjm2vPCt
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.514Please respect copyright.PENANARhMx9xpTim

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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAfb7l2NE7u7

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.514Please respect copyright.PENANAUBvgMCopDF

"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?”514Please respect copyright.PENANAvxYeKvYm3L
No one says anything so I go look for myself.514Please respect copyright.PENANAx0ILTFxdxE
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.514Please respect copyright.PENANAcekFajIQ5Z
