Shapeshifter Isle Chapter 19; let me know if it works if not cut it

"Fuck me I'm tired" I sigh laying down in my new shelter. I'd burnt the rest of the daylight moving my camp to its new location, looking out the door I could see both the goat pen and Red's camp. "You still awake big fella?".....no answer. "Well fuck ya then" I chuckle. To tiered to sleep I crawl out of my hut, standing up I pat down my pockets finding both my lighter and a smoke. Sitting on the ground I watch a thick fog roll into our little village looked like I was the only one up besides a couple of others tending fires.

I start day dreaming about nothing in particular eventually coming back to my conversation with Walter. He was right we did need to do something about Zach but it's not like he'll be happy to hear he's not fit to lead, and it seems alittle excessive to kill him...fuck it eh, just have to wait and see what happens. Still can't believe he's stupid enough to try and hunt a cougar by himself "maybe we'll all get lucky and he'll get killed chasing after a shark" I chuckle to myself. "There ya go Dave your so tired your talking to yourself and out loud at that" I shake my head wipe my eyes and stand up. "Time for a walk"

About an hour later I find myself sitting at the beach feet in the water blowing smoke rings, my eyes slowly start to close. I fall back laying in the sand the sound of the waves lapping over my feet, every thing getting quieter until the fizzle of my lit ciggeret falling on the damp sand is the last thing I hear.

"Fuckin chilly" I mumble springing to my feet rubbing my arms, probably didn't help I spent all night sleeping with my feet in the water. Rubbing my eyes I spot a couple of floating shapes out in the water coming closer with each wave. "Well mother fucker, am I lucky or what!" I yell in excitement rushing into the water where I grab a six pack of coke and a big bottle of wine that's lost it lable. I look up and idea pops into my mind "looks like I might be the one getting eaten by the shark." I chuckle to myself. I take off my shirt and use it to
wrap up my new treasures, don't need any one getting the same idea as me.

A short while later walking back through the center of "town", "Need a hand with anything?" I look around to see James sitting a dozen feet away on a log watching the fire. "That depends can you tie knots?" "Well I suppose so yes" he responds almost immediately, "Then get some essentials and come meet me at my camp, I'm down by Red's". He jumps to his feet running of without a word. "Good kid, find out useful he is soon enough" I think to myself, walking into my little slice of paradise I yell out "Got a surprise for your lazy ass Red!" "Well I missed you to Dave!" I hear yelled back followed by some laughing. We take a seat by the wood pile, get a fire going and light some smokes "So what's the surprise anyway?" "Well" I say pulling out a coke and tossing it to him, his face lights up "God damn I never thought I'd miss sugar water so much" he blurts out while chugging the can. "Not even the best part I say pulling out the wine bottle" his jaw practically drops, "and I'm pretty sure there's more where this came from we just have to go on a little "adventure"" I smile smoke blowing out my nose. "Well your definition of an adventure worries me buddy" he says in a casual tone smile growing on his face. "No worries it's perfectly safe, I've even got us a an extra set of hands" I say with a wink.

"Hey Dave, Red so what do you need help with?" He says unloading a pack full of rope, some food and a small
pocket knife. "Catch" I yell tossing him a can of coke, his face lights up just like Red's did. He starts to say thanks but I cut him off "for as long as this little "adventure" (I wink at Red) takes you work for me understand" he nods his head in agreement with a confused look on his face. "Suppose I should fill you in eh, Red you'll wanna hear this to. First of all James I'm putting a lot of trust in you on this consider it an internship of sorts you do good work and me and Red will make sure to give you some more opportunities in the future, so first of all no body else can know about what we're doing, can't have anyone else trying to cut in on are little operat.." Red cuts me off "So where did you get these anyway?" "Well I found them on the beach this morning they washed up on.." "So we're going beachcombing?" James interjects. "Jesus you two give me a minute to explain, they washed up on the beach but they came from the cruise ship! So we're gonna build a raft a sail out to the rust bucket and see what's worth taking. It looks like at least some of the ships still accessible and I'm sure there's lots of goodies floating around out there just waiting for some handsome entrepreneurs to scoop them up" I smile from ear to ear lighting another smoke.

Just before sundown.

"Can't see how we're suppose to drag this bitch to the water everyones gonna notice 3 guys pulling a raft through the middle of camp" mumbles Red. "No worries we just wait until after midnight when
everyone's asleep than we drag 3 separate sections down to the beach assemble them and set sail in the morning piece of cake eh?" I laugh. James just shakes his head finally realizing what he signed up for. With everything set up we take a break I can't lie I was pretty happy with James even Red seemed pleased with his work. Red takes off to tend to Molly and her kids making sure the pens reinforced and that she has plenty of water. I use this time to chat with James "So I've been thinking James, what do you want out of this?" I ask while chewing on piece of fish, "haven't really put much thought into it" he replies tying some ores together. " we'll get it sorted when it comes time I imagine" I crack open a coke and take a sip, my taste buds spring to life as if they've been reunited with a long lost friend, it's been awhile since I've had anything sweet I sit and savour every drop, Red returns and we spend the next hour checking and re-checking every knot.

Time always seems to pass slowly when your waiting for something and this is no different we sit around joking and killing time, eventually we see the last of the survivors retreat to their shelters and the various camp fires start to dim, "I think it's about that time" James whispers "I think your right buddy, let's go everyone stay quite and just follow my lead" the words escaping the corner of my mouth as I hold a smoke in my lips while packing up some of our essentials.


"Thank god bamboo's so light" I think to myself carrying a large chunk of the raft through the camp. I look behind me and shake my head at almost 7 feet tall Red's not exactly the most inconspicuous and it doesn't help that he's carrying a huge platform of bamboo, at least he's able to carry it clear of the ground I muse, behind him is James I'd given him the pack and ores to carry.

We arrived at the beach at what I guessed to be around 2 in the morning "best get some rest boys this ideas stupid enough as is we don't need to be half asleep tomorrow to" Red snickers. I shoot him a look he looks back and starts to laugh. "Well I'm thinking we should all get another taste of why were doing this" I toss them both of them a can of coke leaving one for myself, we all down the cans in seconds, I pull out the bottle of wine "it's been I don't even know how long since I've drank but I think alittle for good luck is needed" I open the bottle take alittle sip and pass the bottle to Red he takes a sip and passes it to James, who hesitates than looks at me then Red then back to me, he takes a swig then makes a slightly disgusted face, Red bursts into laughter I screw the cap back on lay down and close my eyes...

I was just trying to be a pain in the ass, we are doing it for two totally different reasons, so I dont mind at all. My characters are little more than weekend campers, other than a knowledge of some local flora they dont got much going for them, so i gave them canned food and a spear gun as a crutch, your guys are just goody searching but yeah we are geniuses.
