Death of a Salesman!

Jun 16 7:12am

As soon as we could all relax, Tuttle asked "Who is this guy?". "That's a man who could kill you with a Q-tip." I replied. Tuttle turned his head "Oh.." needing no further explanation.

Now, we were all always a bunch that could shine light on ANY situation. However, I have to admit it was rather quiet for awhile. Cole had switched me seats to give me some time to relax and to write. We were on I-69 headed south. Honestly, none of us knew how to get to Texas. We knew it was down and left on a map haha but from there we had no clue. We needed to find a road map. We decided to stop at the next gas station and pick up supplies and a map.

12:22pm

We had found our gas station, it was right off the highway so we didn't have to go far. Weaver was the first to walk in and we followed. To our surprise, it wasn't completely raided! It was actually in great shape, as far as supplies go. Now looks, not so great. It looked really clean all except for the blood streaks all over the floor! We began looking around for the source... "More robbers?!!!?!" said a loud voice from behind the counter! "I am sick and tired of fending you people off!" the maniac said angrily as he directed his double barrel at Cole. I immediately pulled my shotty from my back sheath. I pointed at his head quicker than I saw it happen! I pulled the trigger as he started to turn to me... let's just say he is going to have a bit of a headache for while...


After the incident the guys kept asking me if I was ok. I kept saying I was fine and really I was, I have never been very sympathetic. We got our map, filled our packs with all the beef products we could handle! Then we agreed to snoop around.. It turns out the man was just simply posting up here. We don't know if he was a clerk here or not, we could ask him but I think he would have a hard time remembering anything right now.

We decided to get our packs situated in case we needed to evacuate the hummer quickly. Kody did his first and showed us how he did it. He snapped his radio to a shoulder strap, so he didn't have to take the walkie off to respond. The side pocket was occupied by as much slim jim and beef stick products as it could possibly hold. The main pocket of the pack was used for storing bottled water and ammo.

Kody seemed to know all sorts of cool little stuff that you would most likely never need to use, but the thing was that he knew so much of these "little tricks" that he had one for almost every situation! He was a very resourceful guy! A very dangerous, resourceful guy....
