20 minutes pass. When will he get here? A door open and I stand up. It's not Carl it's a man tall, and very muscular. He's holding mine and his crossbow. I thought I was the only one. He has a deep voice "come on me and you are going hunting" i look at him blankly. They trust me? He opens the metal door. He hands me my crossbow.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask "Does your 'leader' know?"

He lights a cigarette. "Yes he knows, and I was given this order."

We walk to a Harley at the front gate. "Get on" he says. We both hop on and about a mile down the road he hide the bike in a ditch and covered it with moss.

I still don't understand why he's bringing me in the middle of the woods to- he's going to kill me. Fuck. I walk with him until it's the right time to run. About one mile into the woods I start sprinting the other way with my crossbow. Run. He's gaining on me. I take a sharp turn to the left. Which doesn't trick him at all. I guess survival does a lot to you.
