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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAV0CoyXySkd
532Please respect copyright.PENANAcSe8LBKGZX
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAJoPL6p1XNJ
532Please respect copyright.PENANA9ts2TRy0nO
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.532Please respect copyright.PENANAzjLTgex2qz
532Please respect copyright.PENANAiBUU6KbLMS
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."532Please respect copyright.PENANActnZ9uxX6K
532Please respect copyright.PENANASL3Cr2qBQH
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.532Please respect copyright.PENANAgCXzvSFPIc
532Please respect copyright.PENANAffs5S0pfIS
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAwa1gSFoiCQ
532Please respect copyright.PENANAt4or90RXbO
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANA9uehqaDO5m
532Please respect copyright.PENANAsieYKt7UAa
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAVwSZgPHoZL
532Please respect copyright.PENANAdYv2uaoiMc
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAcqzuAvJGdx
532Please respect copyright.PENANApyVc1KmsWo
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.532Please respect copyright.PENANAs7euxdISMq
532Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Wupt3v1X
"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?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAHplkSKnRZM
532Please respect copyright.PENANAI8HfvZhFYs
"I have a full canteen still," I said.532Please respect copyright.PENANA2RXrBmdJPR
532Please respect copyright.PENANAcEW6KD14zf
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAMuQlJ7fH3F
532Please respect copyright.PENANAtxV0UPoh4B
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAkVjNp0ncgV
532Please respect copyright.PENANAsLdEwcFGMP
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.532Please respect copyright.PENANAAja7PO0PYQ
532Please respect copyright.PENANAnhrTSvG1OO
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.532Please respect copyright.PENANAkmhABGnTZ4
532Please respect copyright.PENANAk1XtfPMAyH
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6AeUUHzVhj
532Please respect copyright.PENANAV6yjaMGZ2l
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6wlfWuUTSb
532Please respect copyright.PENANA1kOtroJsba
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.532Please respect copyright.PENANALRoK8m16xc
532Please respect copyright.PENANAvyp4ZXdJ59
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.532Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZFb2hDBtL
532Please respect copyright.PENANAZjaM6ONb7q
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxOFnf7TY87
532Please respect copyright.PENANAO0HGT5aKlp
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxKKRT3NLah
532Please respect copyright.PENANAKE12w6FntZ
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAErRKi5EosT
532Please respect copyright.PENANAffxgfg22AE
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.532Please respect copyright.PENANA1T43WAInXT
532Please respect copyright.PENANAQvJrshuUsn
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAqEDfbVYazB
532Please respect copyright.PENANAAqWfR5SxNY
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.532Please respect copyright.PENANAFiCwaFEqxq
532Please respect copyright.PENANAEZnDSAq51y
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAYNOe76lAjs
532Please respect copyright.PENANAEbesmdI1D3
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.532Please respect copyright.PENANABUP0INeJyh
532Please respect copyright.PENANASbx5qtcNBQ
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAf1cDzuJs7d
532Please respect copyright.PENANAnuBCMfBZf4
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxSc0YaCV0s
532Please respect copyright.PENANAUd6EtaZbYM
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAsBc82Uuvad
532Please respect copyright.PENANArl1tjKaGvk
"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."532Please respect copyright.PENANAHRNA0CYNqy
532Please respect copyright.PENANAAgd49hnqGx
“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,"
532Please respect copyright.PENANAeDC0Z1rjVv
"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.”532Please respect copyright.PENANAZgiYEu9sEC
532Please respect copyright.PENANAO4FWCB2SR4
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.532Please respect copyright.PENANAgFpwWTnJii
532Please respect copyright.PENANAxioOywFYsr
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.532Please respect copyright.PENANAs04pxSM2jl
532Please respect copyright.PENANA07GvisjabH
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.532Please respect copyright.PENANABH0nIfapcn
532Please respect copyright.PENANAjhswayTPUm
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.532Please respect copyright.PENANAc8B7LQKj95
532Please respect copyright.PENANAH9UPY2cNVs
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAoVXY4DgkUt
532Please respect copyright.PENANAQxTnJdA2Ta
"Lets check it out," said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAE0JWDAm0K8
532Please respect copyright.PENANAqLIasueqAy
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAUep8bMhBPi
532Please respect copyright.PENANABXuPZzuTvr
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.532Please respect copyright.PENANA5V4RaO4KLh
532Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9llCQiNjM
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxcren9Ou5O
532Please respect copyright.PENANAhbkZvND0XY
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANAIFjF6BYNMs
532Please respect copyright.PENANAwtUcbk4vt1
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAZc3srHv7Uw
532Please respect copyright.PENANAgSY50I2s1V
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.532Please respect copyright.PENANAtMu3KS353V
532Please respect copyright.PENANAXdspaJIZIw
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANANPr2piPGAD
532Please respect copyright.PENANAj84gHC2yR7
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAFzcOI5852V
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.532Please respect copyright.PENANAmkCDhB6wG1
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ18kzRpBi
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAOHRnTY1Sgr
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6BPA8NPGq6
532Please respect copyright.PENANApX0BU2ihYz
"What do I do?" I asked.532Please respect copyright.PENANA32k6iV2htI
532Please respect copyright.PENANAWniZZEyGzT
"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."532Please respect copyright.PENANAJulZzjJzd4
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.532Please respect copyright.PENANAbQIkFgO9pp
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAhLxpo3USbE
532Please respect copyright.PENANAyrcqkq5mQI
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANALRTluq2qy5
532Please respect copyright.PENANAjdUkQJJskn
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.532Please respect copyright.PENANAPytFPWSUpG
532Please respect copyright.PENANANfsA6z5I2M
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAXEZMDeyaav
532Please respect copyright.PENANAfZwxWs2bzR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------532Please respect copyright.PENANA6fJipWaiAT
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAduJdTP28qZ
532Please respect copyright.PENANABM2zZzEEF8
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 532Please respect copyright.PENANADM7mUVsz1k
532Please respect copyright.PENANA2TJ6RHhmVv
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.532Please respect copyright.PENANA5QFLrmjjaN
532Please respect copyright.PENANAa1jKtO97ds
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAL5mIO5Lb4s
532Please respect copyright.PENANATkxnWWp2Cr
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.532Please respect copyright.PENANACrCPrGXuTt
532Please respect copyright.PENANAtnlby13D99
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAsZq9YC6Qng
532Please respect copyright.PENANABI4tQASdKV
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.532Please respect copyright.PENANAk6asPY0KMd
532Please respect copyright.PENANAUar07BNjbv
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAej8FGc2Zi9
532Please respect copyright.PENANA3pmMQtoxqf
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.532Please respect copyright.PENANAOYshOaL8YL
"This is how," I said holding the tree.532Please respect copyright.PENANA4KtYp5qIdB
532Please respect copyright.PENANAX643zFp0Bn
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.532Please respect copyright.PENANARajYg0OIQv
532Please respect copyright.PENANAEfoG4oFdlp
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAQU7BcStXSb
532Please respect copyright.PENANA51q3x0tXkd
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAQem5lNvlxa
532Please respect copyright.PENANAodEeNHekYm
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."532Please respect copyright.PENANADhr5pszelJ
532Please respect copyright.PENANA0y9Hph7Rrl
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.532Please respect copyright.PENANA7R3QkSUTAG
532Please respect copyright.PENANAUcs00vT2V1
"Makes sense," responded JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAwUJRH9ofvN
532Please respect copyright.PENANAnJVH0Ge9NK
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.532Please respect copyright.PENANA0XwD30c48x
532Please respect copyright.PENANAQDN18OXbb0
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAPDMJYOGYD4
532Please respect copyright.PENANAC4f3PFih71
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.532Please respect copyright.PENANAVAhvwSHuMU
532Please respect copyright.PENANA66kvnzWk3H
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.532Please respect copyright.PENANAcfHaEg6DJ4
532Please respect copyright.PENANA4GXsTcvYtw
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."532Please respect copyright.PENANAovqjsieHvF
532Please respect copyright.PENANAXjEXWyE80h
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.532Please respect copyright.PENANALa1douZvcF
532Please respect copyright.PENANAy4jmsXitIy
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANA5TXMPaKsqc
532Please respect copyright.PENANAmRh9SeIdzk
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.532Please respect copyright.PENANAT5TtYUQlbF
532Please respect copyright.PENANAtoPMomguiR
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.532Please respect copyright.PENANAmZxdBdcinI
532Please respect copyright.PENANAeZMlHv8Mca
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.532Please respect copyright.PENANA1ttXa0xWZq
532Please respect copyright.PENANAEUeLY1qV9i
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANACrQjrFR4gv
532Please respect copyright.PENANARVIstdshwj
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.532Please respect copyright.PENANAFBs5M9m9jY
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOSmoJBfgKy
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANATk93gazNtd
532Please respect copyright.PENANA1HJIcCS2oL
"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."532Please respect copyright.PENANAB8FeKAcghV
532Please respect copyright.PENANA3D1PGSLane
“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.”532Please respect copyright.PENANAdVNWB8dG1h
532Please respect copyright.PENANA6rj6emJ9un
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAdQMZ3x6qdL
532Please respect copyright.PENANAjrLXaOodZ7
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANAByAbcQILwZ
532Please respect copyright.PENANAftdhdNLUNQ
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.532Please respect copyright.PENANAci1h5NdFvS
532Please respect copyright.PENANAUGOroT0nbG
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxbGPeGbObV
532Please respect copyright.PENANAcc7tdPx8ma
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAgwCpnpx02T
532Please respect copyright.PENANAC2CDC68pu6
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cw1g2vU7d
532Please respect copyright.PENANAzCTh69jDoy
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAK54QtNmyw6
532Please respect copyright.PENANAxUEOo7g2BW
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.532Please respect copyright.PENANAu5tRFReBqb
532Please respect copyright.PENANAELXDhOQoCs
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANArTiMSmbyqR
532Please respect copyright.PENANAYbCfqUip1h
"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."532Please respect copyright.PENANAAqNHeZTjL8
532Please respect copyright.PENANAjb9pMUuMUU
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."532Please respect copyright.PENANAtHA2BDnEFW
532Please respect copyright.PENANAsOsERLXCtF
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAUrDMjXw3k0
532Please respect copyright.PENANAHX62PeCker
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAfb8TQlnXQw
532Please respect copyright.PENANATiOpXDtZT1
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.532Please respect copyright.PENANAkjV9a237f0
532Please respect copyright.PENANAa1wLf0CvHV
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.532Please respect copyright.PENANAViiBdth9z4
532Please respect copyright.PENANAAgC7siswuN
"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."532Please respect copyright.PENANAagE6YLlx3e
532Please respect copyright.PENANAVDnvM6k7U6
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.532Please respect copyright.PENANAxODIn1bFeg
532Please respect copyright.PENANAiTAGfWkbKr
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.532Please respect copyright.PENANADxaHl2HztJ
532Please respect copyright.PENANA1RCH8FL2ue
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
532Please respect copyright.PENANAI2W23r3NL9
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANAEp4amBPVof
532Please respect copyright.PENANA6lTEdIXv43
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAJqwUCPvLr8
532Please respect copyright.PENANA8hlJjIT60Y
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.532Please respect copyright.PENANAyhDp1MQmYA
532Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ppQX7RSO
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.532Please respect copyright.PENANAf1efrMZZkX
532Please respect copyright.PENANA7l4k2QeESG
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6IPPQQ5vee
532Please respect copyright.PENANAfN32oDXtSl
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.532Please respect copyright.PENANAuPHIKguw3d
532Please respect copyright.PENANAaKfmlEJAxZ
"The creek," I responded.532Please respect copyright.PENANAtizGzioMRN
532Please respect copyright.PENANALnPjhbjbFu
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAN67hFbcLZ3
532Please respect copyright.PENANA6K56SRs7Co
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.532Please respect copyright.PENANAeMcYYXEIaT
532Please respect copyright.PENANAaVqqvLRbTa
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.532Please respect copyright.PENANATgNM2ZIYGW
532Please respect copyright.PENANAy1N4Np9Y4O
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANApuJzIyLYph
532Please respect copyright.PENANANxKgo9Vvf0
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.532Please respect copyright.PENANAezxe5KeuOz
532Please respect copyright.PENANARRAQ45Vtvw
"Do you like it?" he asked.532Please respect copyright.PENANANrMhfTr5S3
532Please respect copyright.PENANA16vv1cZWc6
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.532Please respect copyright.PENANA6C1IQddciT
532Please respect copyright.PENANA6idvHJyjq3
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANArpjIH7Fh5g
532Please respect copyright.PENANALV2FshBSkc
"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.532Please respect copyright.PENANANHHxzm9P8E
532Please respect copyright.PENANAOK5fkViANo
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?"532Please respect copyright.PENANAtQmCge3zZf
532Please respect copyright.PENANAyn6KjO67Yr
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.532Please respect copyright.PENANApzUxMD4VsI

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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAIeadGKWM3G

"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?”532Please respect copyright.PENANAfHpKGtrEfe
No one says anything so I go look for myself.532Please respect copyright.PENANAs4PH6pTIzb
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.532Please respect copyright.PENANAAYVCv5Vm9x
