Chapter 2
By the time James made it back under the tree Tom had already driven a stake through the rabbit and covered it in seasoning.
“Getting old, are we? What took you so long?”
James let go of the sticks he picked up, dropping them on the floor, and showed Tom the lizard he caught.
“Nice catch! I think there’s enough rabbit for now, though, so let’s save the lizard for later.” Tom remarked.
James nodded and crouched down to pick up the two Y shaped sticks. “I got the sticks we needed for the spit,” he laid the two sticks aside to first load the fire with some more wood, then drove them into the ground to allow for the rabbit to be placed on top of the fire.
Tom didn’t hesitate to place the rabbit over the burning flames when the spit was done. The mouths of both were watering with saliva as they waited for their meal to be done. The two sat down and relaxed again.
“Have you ever worked a regular job?” Tom asked after a brief silence.
“Only as part of Ducköden’s jobs. Sometimes I needed to infiltrate places and I acted like I belonged, but to legit do something other than killing? No. Never. You?”
“Same here. How about the military? Even been there?”
“No. I never wanted to meddle with the military. Bullshit politics, bullshit rules, idiot people in charge. I was never the man for wars either. They’re like a dick measuring contest, only no one wins. You? Ever been?”
“Two weeks. I needed to kill some sergeant, but other than that, no, I wasn’t.” Tom turned the rabbit over to its other side so it wouldn’t burn.
