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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAK4y9x3JeeR
487Please respect copyright.PENANAJlNXYC1jSi
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAG8YsTbK5wT
487Please respect copyright.PENANAGOXbtox8X6
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.487Please respect copyright.PENANASf73mw2W9R
487Please respect copyright.PENANAdIhvwkO1gG
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."487Please respect copyright.PENANA92yhlgMHdv
487Please respect copyright.PENANAMbuUlYhyed
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.487Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Rr7C4yqd
487Please respect copyright.PENANAtyfc3NfGEQ
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANALhlqgtRUmd
487Please respect copyright.PENANA1KQhQMbBhR
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANARjRnKp3RtY
487Please respect copyright.PENANAbxB69OhccQ
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAD9266gEyGH
487Please respect copyright.PENANAz81nbh0BTL
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAhbBkMjX1y8
487Please respect copyright.PENANAPy5U3j1Bny
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.487Please respect copyright.PENANAOOxpOQhY2m
487Please respect copyright.PENANAAF8M5NAdT0
"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?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAgUuGKx1a6A
487Please respect copyright.PENANAKOFNwOOzIn
"I have a full canteen still," I said.487Please respect copyright.PENANARg8rZx4Si9
487Please respect copyright.PENANAWVjONPrzkx
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA3ixzqYlSD2
487Please respect copyright.PENANAg8aZGXdBRf
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAXgYthwMLeo
487Please respect copyright.PENANAsh9HWx5xqx
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.487Please respect copyright.PENANA9znsSOy3oy
487Please respect copyright.PENANAQY1RcizbTm
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.487Please respect copyright.PENANAqPix4lbv15
487Please respect copyright.PENANA4VBmfLrnFa
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0ieufn9v8F
487Please respect copyright.PENANAttGC7KCc59
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAlv5WEiDE6S
487Please respect copyright.PENANA6AKPHELE2m
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.487Please respect copyright.PENANACVwwVEcKxv
487Please respect copyright.PENANA8fCuNzbqn2
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.487Please respect copyright.PENANASmnF8GCocq
487Please respect copyright.PENANAz09slvyPco
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.487Please respect copyright.PENANAWH2gQvfX72
487Please respect copyright.PENANAWkrTsARtKG
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANATHraUvCwsT
487Please respect copyright.PENANA64G80oFobi
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANA85bQlig3sG
487Please respect copyright.PENANA1YbfgvgjLb
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.487Please respect copyright.PENANAuT3G20PHnN
487Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZcD75miWc
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAVyTXqwqp7r
487Please respect copyright.PENANAZxQ1aOthMs
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.487Please respect copyright.PENANAfZhNkcfJPW
487Please respect copyright.PENANAkDxPkRK25I
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAOoR1ILDNpy
487Please respect copyright.PENANA1gcvoMWz1Z
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.487Please respect copyright.PENANA75oru1lFuE
487Please respect copyright.PENANAORQ8aiUCgU
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAiOjAim98Dx
487Please respect copyright.PENANACM5YlPppdi
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAYGkyz3e1z8
487Please respect copyright.PENANAK8h3XChj68
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANApjjTO1qQOJ
487Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rane76Svn
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAJoMBIUrR7S
487Please respect copyright.PENANAQEXr5nujgN
“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,"
487Please respect copyright.PENANAePrEhcJy7S
"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.”487Please respect copyright.PENANAA0bOuYhsW2
487Please respect copyright.PENANAVajNl8qAzR
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.487Please respect copyright.PENANAkP0RyLQH3f
487Please respect copyright.PENANAEiRCpBlvcT
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.487Please respect copyright.PENANAWcFh6MF1kf
487Please respect copyright.PENANAbwXd8TJxoW
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.487Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ2Isd0WpP
487Please respect copyright.PENANAS7zEJAMk5x
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.487Please respect copyright.PENANAxkptMM0aaC
487Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vb5y30uAu
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAdjTDki0CsB
487Please respect copyright.PENANACzRKuBNIVT
"Lets check it out," said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANApuMqfazTpw
487Please respect copyright.PENANAAhfvtJn9AO
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zgg1ldrZM
487Please respect copyright.PENANA3OCrqGtyLp
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.487Please respect copyright.PENANAWrpYH1acx6
487Please respect copyright.PENANAw7fgqrFo1Y
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAp3IohEmTDk
487Please respect copyright.PENANAvxXMBJoySA
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0LsJC83qWc
487Please respect copyright.PENANAsyYPSH0KSY
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAbTbvAh8yWE
487Please respect copyright.PENANANlcVrtIYth
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.487Please respect copyright.PENANAbPWBjyBFYn
487Please respect copyright.PENANApH3r6sohAt
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAKUL0uAbZWz
487Please respect copyright.PENANAtzHjF3wGGd
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAwC2Liw3p2r
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFKtwis8AyA
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAugF5Masdx4
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAsxtkwMxvO7
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.487Please respect copyright.PENANANu9SPele1p
487Please respect copyright.PENANA6riciiFWX7
"What do I do?" I asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAQwhJ9oHf0Y
487Please respect copyright.PENANAWIGqBssI76
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAe41pK2EBRA
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAJiwnAInNga
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAzj93V5hvHJ
487Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3q2CK6xXc
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA09ahsVb9Pn
487Please respect copyright.PENANA3YGWBV29uA
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0F9GNuHCKm
487Please respect copyright.PENANAqPNfY52lqD
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAa3oA8QWPAr
487Please respect copyright.PENANApzDcPbo1Ra
--------------------------------------------------------------------------487Please respect copyright.PENANAQjFJjFaYXa
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAnGODvYdcPY
487Please respect copyright.PENANAlssELVmuY7
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAjGcNxDZMgt
487Please respect copyright.PENANAE7iI372zhh
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.487Please respect copyright.PENANA1IqcywIJeA
487Please respect copyright.PENANA2oEneHB4Wh
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANACVhZ8cXazp
487Please respect copyright.PENANAM3VvhwogHr
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFPNktLMNTT
487Please respect copyright.PENANAFf6PPrBHav
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAeU0ZD13vGs
487Please respect copyright.PENANAwUGcOs2yWK
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.487Please respect copyright.PENANA2ywlfI9vcC
487Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ00h8Vvy2
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAdxiM2I14rp
487Please respect copyright.PENANAbE6y6Yz3sr
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.487Please respect copyright.PENANAbj7xrBsBba
"This is how," I said holding the tree.487Please respect copyright.PENANAc5pzcYHvAS
487Please respect copyright.PENANA69xsYcgSzv
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.487Please respect copyright.PENANAqUk3YfZ8KL
487Please respect copyright.PENANAhXgo3gqSDk
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAYeyOItXsPD
487Please respect copyright.PENANATYOZK9DCnj
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANASsy0hWuhHg
487Please respect copyright.PENANAOJhJWpa02V
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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAagSin0c9R1
487Please respect copyright.PENANAUWhJnLgg4d
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0yIt5TNmar
487Please respect copyright.PENANAVU08wZXze4
"Makes sense," responded JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAMRVuDdOv2J
487Please respect copyright.PENANAUZXx52OcG5
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.487Please respect copyright.PENANAUpIsP4O0Mi
487Please respect copyright.PENANAyezFSdYE1X
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANArI2hc7s0n0
487Please respect copyright.PENANAaqwW4npnqH
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.487Please respect copyright.PENANA6CnL9h68IG
487Please respect copyright.PENANAyyJE7K950e
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.487Please respect copyright.PENANA88O1D68SQT
487Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2dCKbTu01
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."487Please respect copyright.PENANA0eVaoV7Bv3
487Please respect copyright.PENANAPIGT7fBw5o
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.487Please respect copyright.PENANAQYqytozngz
487Please respect copyright.PENANAoGZAsRY2MO
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA5SULEz2nLz
487Please respect copyright.PENANAHFTKMqrLxG
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.487Please respect copyright.PENANABf8LPrUvKn
487Please respect copyright.PENANACbrDcs8YUf
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANACXmmWmE9vL
487Please respect copyright.PENANAjJQbdAVt85
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.487Please respect copyright.PENANAK0Hk30h458
487Please respect copyright.PENANAQe0IWi0IRS
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0X68Ilpv1d
487Please respect copyright.PENANA2b9MGKomjl
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.487Please respect copyright.PENANAPj2P3FyfOO
487Please respect copyright.PENANAERgGHAiQod
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANAA3yiwsd4oE
487Please respect copyright.PENANA0JZWT8u1xX
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAtSkiXWGBc4
487Please respect copyright.PENANAxUA6UIOq8m
“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.”487Please respect copyright.PENANARyGYUtxwNe
487Please respect copyright.PENANAm97YaYQbym
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAHN4jbZK8iT
487Please respect copyright.PENANAoauM3Of1gi
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFYPQDIHJVQ
487Please respect copyright.PENANAkLTTjcz0na
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.487Please respect copyright.PENANAT1xh8buDNk
487Please respect copyright.PENANAYpffnPR1D4
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAW6eifQnGpB
487Please respect copyright.PENANACvL5MFS1fL
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFbr2JXG7nT
487Please respect copyright.PENANA53hQeu4uic
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAg1IJgUcZ5J
487Please respect copyright.PENANAt8aTa58O2i
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA5IoXLXftXm
487Please respect copyright.PENANAWfY9SyLgvp
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.487Please respect copyright.PENANABZNIyKYq3C
487Please respect copyright.PENANAfXayuFvg2H
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ3fNZIZnP
487Please respect copyright.PENANA2Phmk8c96s
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAWVhfUHpH9R
487Please respect copyright.PENANAdcnrPNYFgP
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."487Please respect copyright.PENANA8uQykML4je
487Please respect copyright.PENANAg1jaAkVl9Y
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAMCcYTpoM5T
487Please respect copyright.PENANAkjEcQwNIK2
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAsbG7vRnVUw
487Please respect copyright.PENANAoiZ7D5yAXW
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.487Please respect copyright.PENANAuOZ5qIPQIr
487Please respect copyright.PENANAXwYQBOl6qY
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.487Please respect copyright.PENANAEzXgX9HGeb
487Please respect copyright.PENANAfcZYetCJ2X
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAmhGhrhRZ35
487Please respect copyright.PENANAAtJ1gKqRIE
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.487Please respect copyright.PENANAWQo11DvQWt
487Please respect copyright.PENANApjX17F7U4b
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.487Please respect copyright.PENANAImLm9TkgH3
487Please respect copyright.PENANAwBJzvKjal0
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
487Please respect copyright.PENANAePFf4RJ5af
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANAyHEPJklczi
487Please respect copyright.PENANAdJL94TPwlY
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAXfgsGo8OvQ
487Please respect copyright.PENANA9y5sTx44YT
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.487Please respect copyright.PENANAlzk34gw1fZ
487Please respect copyright.PENANA0UStl0S6SO
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.487Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ru3uoR6nU
487Please respect copyright.PENANAVr3dC53HCr
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAlgVJ8578oR
487Please respect copyright.PENANAT5bQTVddZH
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.487Please respect copyright.PENANAQUy1ygiKBO
487Please respect copyright.PENANAxVTStRHXcb
"The creek," I responded.487Please respect copyright.PENANAdn2NbiPUoT
487Please respect copyright.PENANAsRXdIzNSM9
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAZyNslVZMV0
487Please respect copyright.PENANAxqwDGLzpUj
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.487Please respect copyright.PENANAxuEhJwLEvk
487Please respect copyright.PENANA9obI3zWxvg
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.487Please respect copyright.PENANAu8UK2eEumF
487Please respect copyright.PENANAodlic8VQPA
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANAKRIAZ2ro4r
487Please respect copyright.PENANAKWc3v2n3LS
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.487Please respect copyright.PENANAh7KxONZ4Ys
487Please respect copyright.PENANAW6v2cBz5jV
"Do you like it?" he asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAwDXxwfB3LZ
487Please respect copyright.PENANAmWFDDtun82
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFXpWmImViU
487Please respect copyright.PENANA83dzfiq3Py
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANAdjBBtJAcZk
487Please respect copyright.PENANAuGZRG1iZA3
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uf57sA9EC
487Please respect copyright.PENANAM3RiQjs0rE
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?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAwmgKXgT9YT
487Please respect copyright.PENANAaSsYGLbNMd
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.487Please respect copyright.PENANA82zRZRx3aO

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.487Please respect copyright.PENANA4LhjxZb1gh

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.487Please respect copyright.PENANAuALPlZDA99

"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?”487Please respect copyright.PENANAYI77IClJ5f
No one says anything so I go look for myself.487Please respect copyright.PENANAS799btOxJj
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAaj5QPdff2H
