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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAe6vEaJlXDW
495Please respect copyright.PENANADuH9wRvVMS
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANApH7r0a7qLi
495Please respect copyright.PENANAYMdvKykukx
"We only have about three and a half hours of sunlight, we should stop and make camp," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANA4KTJgyZL2D
495Please respect copyright.PENANAb9K16dcnF7
"I was thinking the same thing," said JJ. "we just need to find a good place to set up camp."495Please respect copyright.PENANAa9qRICE5MO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAxLb2AtOB61
"What’s wrong with right here?" asked Agent.495Please respect copyright.PENANA2nydBncDKW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAKketzuwC4s
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAXOnobXpDWQ
495Please respect copyright.PENANABUJihP2ZDt
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAjoNu39ah3d
495Please respect copyright.PENANALyAP2CEVut
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAWoWYhHsLGa
495Please respect copyright.PENANAww9KoV88Wg
"Agent are you out of water already?" asked JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAv32jNt9HmA
495Please respect copyright.PENANAssHx6NuZEj
"Yes! We have been walking all day and it made me thirsty," Agent replied trying to justify his careless rationing.495Please respect copyright.PENANAwQaSfTQ2qI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAT31zcFfPJz
"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?"495Please respect copyright.PENANATj7Ho9zc40
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbPQmI01t0w
"I have a full canteen still," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANAyi8p1GIwZg
495Please respect copyright.PENANANnk5CsStQR
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAWTe8QWDpEx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbY8GcBX1pl
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANACGVcTiATtp
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbSjhoWAK3J
"Hmmmmm, no," I refused.495Please respect copyright.PENANAPs71XEgO9i
495Please respect copyright.PENANAy20Pfz4KZP
"What why! Your canteen is full!" Said Agent more aggressively.495Please respect copyright.PENANAxATbafedVr
495Please respect copyright.PENANAavcdFwDpHC
"Maybe you should have been smarter with your own water," I said.495Please respect copyright.PENANA8dLPVRZ0lR
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJwkJOMAmGS
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAVz1yfsk8yO
495Please respect copyright.PENANAvRYrwS1r8W
"Don't be a fucking asshole Breaker!" Agent snapped at me as I expected.495Please respect copyright.PENANArVGA6cJncP
495Please respect copyright.PENANAbbklpCHR6F
I look at him with an evil grin, trying to make him even more outraged.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtq2j4CbQzU
495Please respect copyright.PENANACbwN8mCzDO
"Here!" Yelled JJ, throwing Agent his canteen to end the conflict.495Please respect copyright.PENANA3riRd9lH3z
495Please respect copyright.PENANAlXEdMZjvqJ
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAVGqLEE0Hzl
495Please respect copyright.PENANAnjkK6W9JqM
Agent then picks up the canteen and looks at JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAJh2u9I6E06
495Please respect copyright.PENANAeXnxuXlQmf
"But JJ, yours is only half full. You wont have much water for later," said Agent.495Please respect copyright.PENANAYu4ivrXo7t
495Please respect copyright.PENANA96ku74BQys
"Don't worry ill just bum off Breaker for water if I need," Said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAL8WHk9LmXE
495Please respect copyright.PENANALJEKusELJY
"He's not going to give you any. He's fucking unreasonable," said Agent giving me a death glare.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9pADCMwA09
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGUGj7zGBhU
JJ Looks and me and says, "Breaker, can I have some water?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAK3NlImyyRW
495Please respect copyright.PENANACJBEbgvthE
"Of course," I answered quickly tossing him my full canteen.495Please respect copyright.PENANAEHU2oR3zd6
495Please respect copyright.PENANAs8Rn9QV9Ir
"You see Agent, you just gotta know how to ask for things," said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAswH3KLebii
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIWSTie65as
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANABpRZtBkXpC
495Please respect copyright.PENANAg9sRbCo1CP
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAZTr3olnUuf
495Please respect copyright.PENANAXwWHSRRT7I
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAqL4gSVORX2
495Please respect copyright.PENANAC8aHW2GQZv
“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,"
495Please respect copyright.PENANARumCMbZj4N
"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.”495Please respect copyright.PENANAJfLXCvtLgd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAb368lRUxK3
"What do you mean?" asked Agent.495Please respect copyright.PENANAXKMAVUfgr2
495Please respect copyright.PENANAUMdtlQmYbs
I didn't respond with words, all I did was shake my head immediately regretting it.495Please respect copyright.PENANAwbOvYYXWyj
495Please respect copyright.PENANAPX3pa6Z7xM
"Hey guys! I found a good place to set up camp!" called Sean unintentionally bailing me out.495Please respect copyright.PENANAri6RIVEFLv
495Please respect copyright.PENANAi9EwddQ1KK
"Wait, you weren't with us this whole time?" questioned Kyle.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtc3CO3JmbH
495Please respect copyright.PENANAW66t9LYkIe
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAPzgVelB6Ju
495Please respect copyright.PENANAetUJqsTs6k
"Lets check it out," said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAYDtV1RGxyI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAyAo4aCCRAj
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAfOoPwDpuPG
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfZEjGlJzEC
"That rock will be our shelter for the night," said JJ pointing at the rock.495Please respect copyright.PENANA4dMalLMD5V
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfH6xCweZ4S
"This is a great find Sean, good work. But don't wonder off on your own again," Said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAdi0KTZ7QzR
495Please respect copyright.PENANAVvByMnB4oE
"Ok, I'm sorry," mumbled Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANARHgxkJWhhB
495Please respect copyright.PENANAblzQiO0gXC
"Ok guys lets set camp," announced JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANACBgHKwfe6T
495Please respect copyright.PENANAe7mAM2Cz2v
"I can collect more of this and make carpet for the shelter," said Sean pulling moss off the ground.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtKdItl5T34
495Please respect copyright.PENANAUtSov1Rwfi
"No Sean, that is not a priority," said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAFdUtOz2dsY
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZJdEzhnnSQ
"Maine squad I need all of you to collect fire wood, and lots of it,” ordered JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAykK6tmfK9h
Kyle, Ashton, Connor, Sean and Hunter breakoff to collect wood.495Please respect copyright.PENANAW48SPF6Clz
“Andrew and Destroyer find something to cover the sides of the rock. Make the opening as small as possible,” Ordered JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANANW1lYh0T9U
“Agent study the map you found and see if you can find out where we are," Commanded JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANA4V8JVClEKB
Agent lays his rifle on the ground and digs in his bag for the map.495Please respect copyright.PENANAcqRNv2NSep
495Please respect copyright.PENANAmB0i2l2YHj
"What do I do?" I asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAm6qa5JdNRU
495Please respect copyright.PENANAEQvTaC2IZc
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAK6HoV05odo
“No Browning?” jokingly asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAK51ZSY0sOP
“No Browning,” Repeated JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANA1mftsRCo2t
495Please respect copyright.PENANAVvPANMUf5k
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANANMkub5Qx1U
495Please respect copyright.PENANAknvS3puN20
"So where do we begin?" I questioned.495Please respect copyright.PENANAQKiC4HNNTB
495Please respect copyright.PENANAoOWDS2M3vA
"Lets just see what we can find, lets go," Said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAnrDbugGF8h
495Please respect copyright.PENANAmnyssVwQ5w
--------------------------------------------------------------------------495Please respect copyright.PENANAveNW35dSN1
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAwo66IbYQCO
495Please respect copyright.PENANANs86GGhDeI
Luck turns to my favour and through some trees I see an elk. 495Please respect copyright.PENANAX5Wy8Vie9Y
495Please respect copyright.PENANAoOtCm26Bni
"JJ there’s an elk," I said pointing at the elk.495Please respect copyright.PENANA2L0qi7osd3
495Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4VmMLFdEt
"I was hopping for something smaller that we are actually able to utilize. But we will make it work," Said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAipnxK0CEgW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAc3h9BKMnYf
Me and JJ aim at the elk and I wait for his signal to fire.495Please respect copyright.PENANAnIWxrHyLEd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqt7Qr3u7Sh
"Three, two, one. Fire!" ordered JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAM1RBQwp0Eb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAFki5a8weZb
After the two gunshots the elk drops to the ground and me and JJ walk over to the corpse.495Please respect copyright.PENANAGKpWm9MWDH
495Please respect copyright.PENANAfc3y34MOAn
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAOpIpVL77D1
495Please respect copyright.PENANAwqjDh4JM8i
I pick up a fallen down young tree that isn't much bigger than a walking stick.495Please respect copyright.PENANAZdq6qUvNoj
"This is how," I said holding the tree.495Please respect copyright.PENANAMhSfTD9n6y
495Please respect copyright.PENANAj1AEqzNWmo
JJ looks at me with a confused expression. I take the strap off Andrews rifle and tie it around the elks front two legs.495Please respect copyright.PENANAz5oedztn5f
495Please respect copyright.PENANAb4ElKZJs7M
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAA9oljvUGrv
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2SlE197VOR
"This is a two-person job," I hinted to JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtQLOajjy6T
495Please respect copyright.PENANAylnq5e7bMS
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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAu4aPuoOeIz
495Please respect copyright.PENANAXm6wwAHalB
"You need to let the blood out or it will spoil," I explained.495Please respect copyright.PENANAC0jCKZ7kYl
495Please respect copyright.PENANA42VBw5ul05
"Makes sense," responded JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANACbcqEiXqgt
495Please respect copyright.PENANAdMp1GTFzet
We make our way back to the camp with an Elk that will fill all our belly’s.495Please respect copyright.PENANA9xmoyD0b9N
495Please respect copyright.PENANAzlfOWj7cgB
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANATtT6IBzT8Z
495Please respect copyright.PENANAFrbT2VpnKZ
"Holy shit that’s a good find!" said Connor.495Please respect copyright.PENANAoU7YnQPfK3
495Please respect copyright.PENANA6FTeqJT31e
"Does anyone know how to prepare a freakin’ deer?" asked Kyle.495Please respect copyright.PENANA20sEYqfFQb
495Please respect copyright.PENANAl0bgQtZjXm
Its an Elk, not a Deer and I kinda know how to," I responded. "but we need a fire to cook the meat."495Please respect copyright.PENANAEC5CiAzzMW
495Please respect copyright.PENANAVR2BT5kDN6
"Look at all the fire wood we got. This should last us the night," said hunter.495Please respect copyright.PENANAoNvYwnf2DS
495Please respect copyright.PENANAkhvSFi4Mmz
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAwRrELN3nkG
495Please respect copyright.PENANAThiuRCq1p7
I glance in the shelter and see moss on the ground all over it.495Please respect copyright.PENANAubeX7PQ79V
495Please respect copyright.PENANAjI0p4pJviW
"What’s up with the moss?" I asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANA6sAxLNqv8j
495Please respect copyright.PENANA5BfztsJvw8
"I made carpet for the shelter," said Sean with the proudest smile I've ever seen.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0DAV3fg1nx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAXlBx2IOZOh
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAbmkhUW7wfp
495Please respect copyright.PENANAxldbh53J4M
I make a tipi out of twigs and a tinder bundle out of some dried grass. Then I start scanning the ground.495Please respect copyright.PENANAQDA3RWwqXd
495Please respect copyright.PENANAOepnzm35Lx
"What are you looking for Breaker?" asked Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANAJsSTI6IdHe
495Please respect copyright.PENANApHngxuMeNH
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAVn0j6jZj68
495Please respect copyright.PENANArWlAGcYdzS
“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.”495Please respect copyright.PENANA8zdEy4rFoF
495Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZAFtwNwbH
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAl0oAKrgRiM
495Please respect copyright.PENANAtM6X5SylLT
"I know that you guys are hinting something but I don't know what it is," said Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANAcDULpFSwlC
495Please respect copyright.PENANAY1qF1nRCVS
Me and JJ look at each other and chuckle.495Please respect copyright.PENANAPMNHqR5pDI
495Please respect copyright.PENANAARJri9cHzt
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAbMDKdnaapr
495Please respect copyright.PENANA4F2u4DoNFz
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAxzmqbmDvIY
495Please respect copyright.PENANAh73XBU09zf
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAwtfTQ6O7K5
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2FHmBLNLaC
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAR8MBanJ99x
495Please respect copyright.PENANAzUJbW0v6vn
"Ok you’re definitely a Canadian, Breaker," Laughed Kyle.495Please respect copyright.PENANAMbO2xtFgHK
495Please respect copyright.PENANASTRUg1OyO0
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAo9TRxHahS6
495Please respect copyright.PENANA649hoiZqnu
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANA4K85zUNYsS
495Please respect copyright.PENANA3GIVENsrC2
Kyle laughs and says, "if you insist."495Please respect copyright.PENANANC76GGU53M
495Please respect copyright.PENANA5UxTskJkyW
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAeLJr6iI57A
495Please respect copyright.PENANAQuCFaZSK3T
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAnc96AxGaUk
495Please respect copyright.PENANAexfEZSYd4z
"Its so cold here!" Agent shivered with his hands basically touching to flames.495Please respect copyright.PENANAHUVVrRYlTD
495Please respect copyright.PENANAThIqQKRiDf
"Not really man it feels like about plus thirteen," I said realizing that I just gave away where I live.495Please respect copyright.PENANA88OR7G7GAx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAGPhTvi74dQ
"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."495Please respect copyright.PENANAa0dcvg42Ca
495Please respect copyright.PENANAdr7QbQtZMz
"I’m from Jersey so this isn't bad, but I'm the kind of guy who wears shorts all year round," Said JJ.495Please respect copyright.PENANAxyZTrnZnjx
495Please respect copyright.PENANAlIJ819EWCM
"Wait, Breakers from Canada?" asked Sean as a delayed response.495Please respect copyright.PENANACUSBCLCrLF
495Please respect copyright.PENANAEi4FOld1VD
"We discussed this forever ago,” said Agent in his usual douche tone. “how are you just now processing this?"
495Please respect copyright.PENANAWhygkI7MHp
"I zoned out," confessed Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANAICXGZmRsue
495Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pf4TaVKBH
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAzpomBTvcsc
495Please respect copyright.PENANA2M2tE78MOh
"Can I feel your nipples Destroyer?" Snickered Andrew in a seductive way as he try's to grab Destroyers nipples.495Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZZfyUSpcm
495Please respect copyright.PENANArxfWrEYthn
"Fuck off man!" responded destroyer swatting Andrew’s hand away.495Please respect copyright.PENANAqg0LUzqNQJ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAJniM2TGnq7
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAYl4SVpi8Bi
495Please respect copyright.PENANA19zQjhTK5H
"Where too?" asked Kyle while lifting the other side of the tree.495Please respect copyright.PENANAQt7QIz08Xe
495Please respect copyright.PENANAp9lexPHhOT
"The creek," I responded.495Please respect copyright.PENANAcMU8hG58UJ
495Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ4UaFAbK2
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAsVFl1I7CZx
495Please respect copyright.PENANA1kK4P9LaKK
I walk over to the fire and see that Sean already beat me to it.495Please respect copyright.PENANAmzu8tptdtX
495Please respect copyright.PENANAjtrqwvR3xk
"Breaker I made a grill out of wood for you, its sorta adjustable too," Said Sean standing beside his man-made grilled of sticks.495Please respect copyright.PENANAXyVbYV7cwi
495Please respect copyright.PENANALziu970tBA
"You made us a grill Sean, it benefits all of us," I said to Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANA5bpR3IbKzz
495Please respect copyright.PENANAsmWCog5y4P
Sean looks at me waiting for me to say more.495Please respect copyright.PENANAYnzCjDGMVL
495Please respect copyright.PENANAIX9hCHKhQu
"Do you like it?" he asked.495Please respect copyright.PENANAKgkbUogdvA
495Please respect copyright.PENANAd8JekQkrnp
"It must be my birth day for such a present," I said trying to make Sean happy.495Please respect copyright.PENANAJktcTG54Ga
495Please respect copyright.PENANArNKzMmCMga
"Wont the meat go bad in a few days without refrigeration?" asked Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANAK3of62IQc9
495Please respect copyright.PENANAa03NRPVU3t
"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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAnY31BGrA1d
495Please respect copyright.PENANAqeZGAB79mx
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?"495Please respect copyright.PENANAsz6EOoZZrZ
495Please respect copyright.PENANALUXKG7TQAj
"Sean, what did I tell you, you are going to be ok," I reminded Sean.495Please respect copyright.PENANABnOYpzkJF6

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.495Please respect copyright.PENANAEGslDLf2O6

"Has anyone seen Agent lately?" called out Ashton who just came from the creek.495Please respect copyright.PENANAauT12bxXQq

"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?”495Please respect copyright.PENANAbkzeqMeXQI
No one says anything so I go look for myself.495Please respect copyright.PENANAhzxtkLOTS4
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.495Please respect copyright.PENANALcT8lgEGQt
