Gruff & Bones: The Quest For The Last N-Word Pass

Chapter 6

We finally made it back home. Bones fell asleep leaning against me. 

"Hey, we're home, Bones". I said.

He woke up, yawned, and wiped his eyes. He slid out of his seat and started walking towards the house. I watched him as he walked, he was so cute, so captivating. I had a girlfriend before the war, but she got kidnapped by the government once everything kicked off. So I hadn't had any sexual relations in a long time. I stared at Bones' ass as he walked through the door while my mind fluttered with thoughts. 

But I snapped out of it as soon as he left my field of view. I got out of the cart, grabbed our stuff, and headed inside quickly.

I took the files and placed them on a broken countertop. I started looking through them. This folder had everything, locations, logs, stories, even the likelihood of certain locations being the true resting place. 

I was reading over recent adventurers logs when Bones hopped onto the counter next to the folder. He was wearing tight jeans that made his ass look great. I started to sweat a little bit, but he didn't notice. He was looking out the window at some birds and other animals flying around near the house. He was swinging his legs and I started to lose control. 

"He- HEy bOnEs". I managed to say.

"Hm?" He asked. 

"Why don't you umm go outside and maybe try to catch us some animals that I can roast? We're starting to run low on food". I advised.

"Ok! I'll be back in a jiffy!" He said naively.

Be back in a jiffy… who says that? I figured I could kill 2 birds with one stone here, well actually 3 I guess. He can get us more food, I can focus on these charts, and I won't have the urge to- well you get the picture…

Bones' POV -- 

Why is Gruff acting so weird? He must be really excited to find this artifact I guess. What type of animals can you eat anyway? Are crows and squirrels edible? 

I stumbled across a dead cow. Freshly dead. 

"YAY!" I hollered. 

Just gotta drag this back to my owne- I mean my Gruff and we got dinner! Now how am I gonna do this…

Gruffs POV--

There seems to be only 1 place that hasn't been explored yet. So I guess that must be it. "Freedoms End". Yup that sounds like the place it would be. 

I walked outside and saw Bones trying to lift a whole ass cow.

"Milo, what the hell are you doing?" I asked, resting my head in my hand.

"Getting dinner! Just like you asked!" He replied, straining to lift the cow.

"Wait…. where did you find that cow?" I asked

"It was just lying here, dead, looks like it just died! How lucky is that?" 

"That's…. very lucky…. almost too lucky… any bullet holes?" I inquired.

"Nope! Must have passed out from heat exhaustion or something!" He answered.

I don't like this, something is off. The fact we found a perfect golf cart and a dead cow with no wounds? I'm not buying it. I walked over to help Bones bring the cow in. I threw it over my shoulder and walked towards the house while he followed. On one hand, we knew exactly where to go. On the other hand, we could be walking into a trap.
