Interacting with: Everett [@AcerRo]
Location: Everett’s truck -> Wilcox Hunting Lodge 

[hr][hr]

As Nina looked out of the window of Everett’s truck, she did have to wonder what she had gotten herself into. Sure, she was happy to spend time with Everett and be there for him, but she seemed to have sign herself up for being involved in some illegal stuff for the moment. However, she pushed that out of her mind and looked over at Everett. [color=d86c00]”So, where are we headed to next that involves me getting ‘dirty’ as you said?”[/color]

“Well that's a bit of a loaded question. Aunt Lou need helps getting some stuff ready and I gotta go kill and butcher an elk. You game?” Everett said with a smile, knowing full well that was not something she was expecting to hear. 

[color=d86c00]“Well, not sure how well I’ll do with hunting and butchering, but I’d be more than happy to help out Aunt Lou while you do that. Unless you were hoping that I’d come with you. And if that was the case… I’m gonna need different clothing.”[/color] Nina blushed a bit. Hunting had never really been her thing. Like, at all. 

“That is completely up to you sweetie. You can… “ Everett trailed off as he saw something the trees passing by. He slammed on the breaks hoping he was wrong. But somehow he knew he wasn't. He never said as a word as he jumped out if the truck.

He ran hard and fast into the woods. He was only ten feet in before he yelled. “DAGS  YOU MOTHER FUCKER! GET IN THE G-D DAMN TRUCK!” A moment later a wolf came jumping out of the tree line and jumped on the back of the truck with ease and grace. 

As Everett got closer the wolf only became happier and more excited. Everett knew better than to hit him. The two were close but Dagnasty was still a wolf a heart.  Through gritted teeth and Everett spoke to the dog with pure anger in his voice. “Leroy St. Germaine Dagnasty. What. The. FUCK. Are you doing out here. Stop don't say a word,  we're not done with this you hear me? We're gonna talk about this when we get home. “ Everett said as he got back onto the truck and opened the sliding glass window. Dags slowly poke his massive head through the window. It was clear the wolf dog was scared. 

Dags looked at Nina and let out a growl and snarls. Dags growls and snarls were deep, loud and  nothing short of evil sounding. “Aye, be nice asshole.” Almost like magic Dags was as happy as he could be. “Nina this is Dags, Dags this is Nina. Give her a kiss. “ Everett said as he petted his beloved Dagnasty.
 
Nina giggled a little and held her hand out for Dags to sniff. Sure, she didn’t have any pets herself, but she knew how to act around them. [color=d86c00]”Hi Dags. As Everett said, I’m Nina. Nice to meet you boy. You’re a good boy huh?”[/color] She smiled as she turned to look at Everett. [color=d86c00]”So… sweetie. That’s new. Why the sudden change in what you call me?”[/color]

“Let him smell your hand so he knows you don't mean him any harm. Pet him if let's you. “ Everett said more concerned about what Dags might do. 

Nina smiled, having already done as Everett said, and smiled as Dags let her pet him. [color=d86c00]”Aww yeah, you are a good boy. So, are you avoiding my question or did you not hear it?”[/color] Nina continued to look over at Everett as she pet the large wolf. 

“I've said that to every waitress and most woman I've ever met. It's just… a southern thing.” Everett said as he drove off. Secure in the hope that Dags wasn't gonna hurt her. 

Nina couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed by that answer, and she wasn’t sure why. [color=d86c00]”Ah. I guess I’ve never realized that before. My apologies.”[/color] She continued to pet Dags, and let out a small sigh. [color=d86c00]”I think I’ll help Aunt Lou around the lodge. I think I’d just be a hinderance to your hunting.”[/color]

“You’d slow me down, but I'd nice to have someone around that I didn't see it as I owed them a hunt. But it's your call.” Only a few minutes later they we're at the lodge. It made Everett feel better about where he found Dags. He wasn't gone long. 

His driveway as a long gravel road. He stopped less than a 100 feet from the opening at the end. “You've never seen this place have you?” Everett said looking over to her. 

[color=d86c00]”Not really. I mean, don’t really have the occasion to go hunting. Or money. Or time.”[/color] Nina gave Dags one last pet before unbuckling her seat belt, anticipating getting out of the car soon.

“Well, here's hoping you don't think ill of it.” Everett said pull the truck up into the opening. What greeted them was an opulent cabin in the woods. It screamed money. That was by design of his parents. If people going to spend the kinda money they were charging it had to look as nice and fancy as possible. 

When Everett stopped the truck he asked Nina to wait there as said something quietly to Dags in the back. Dags jumped out and went trotting around the back. Everett walked around an opened Nina’s door. 

“Welcome to Casa Del Wilcox. Come on in.” He said with his hand extended. 

Nina took Everett’s hand and smiled. [color=d86c00]”Thanks. It is very impressive.”[/color] Nina hated to admit it but she was a little envious. The cabin looked like it could fit at least two or three of Nina’s tiny houses in it. [color=d86c00]”I can see why you get a lot of big names up here for hunting. The place kinda screams classy.”[/color] She didn’t seem to realize she still had a hold on Everett’s hand at the moment. 

“Come on with me now. I’ll show you around back. Before we you meet the real beast of the family.  Leading her by the hand they went around back which house a barn a few horses and a mule. 

“Most the hunts we do around here, are on horse back. At a can't to a lot of the places we hunt at and you carry a dead elk on a dirt bike so we uses horses.” Everett said grinning ear to ear. “We got some hardcore survivalist out there now. Two weeks all by themselves. I gotta ride out there and check on them tonight. There's a few hundred acres, and fresh water supplies. It's my green heaven. “ Everett was gonna talk more about the place, rambling on in excitement. It was clear he loved the land more than the house. He was however, interrupted by a boom voice over his shoulder. 

“Boy, what in the hell are you doing home. “ Aunt Luo shouted. 

Everett let go Nina hand before speaking. “My Dagnasty sense was a going off. Good thing we came cause he was good three miles down the road when I found him…. Oh where are my manners, Aunt Lou this is Nina Jelen, Nina this is Luella Marchbanks. Nina said she'd helps us get ready for tomorrow and the kids.” Everett said like a child who knew he screwed up. 

[color=d86c00]“Hello… wait… kids?”[/color] Nina looked over at Everett. [color=d86c00]”Yeah, I said I’d help out but what’s this about kids?”[/color]

“Rich kids field trip outta Spokane. Just need to clear a campsite or two. Make sure the Bears and Moose ain't in area small stuff. Just between the parties tomorrow and kids we’re stretched too thin.” Everett said waiting for the rebuttal of Aunt Luo.

“You ever learn to work it'd not be a problem.” she told him. 

“Love you too Aunt Lou.” Everett said somewhat hurt by that remark. 

Nina raised her eyebrow a bit. [color=d86c00]”So… this is a job huh? Funny you didn’t mention that before. So, I’m here to help as it would seem. Where would you like me then Luella?”[/color] She couldn’t help but feel a little hurt. She pushed that out of her mind and put a smile on for Aunt Lou.

“Sweetheart, there won't be much of nuttin to do around here for a few hours. Go on and ride out with Everett, keep his ass from his damn foolishness. And don't pay him no mind. He likes you a lot girl. And Everett, it's in the cellar. ” Aunt Lou said as she walked into the house.  What she was referring too was his rifle.

“Let's get you some hunting clothes. “ Everett said with a smile as he walked towards the cellar door and disappeared into its abyss. He got the feeling again. That feeling that something was off… 

Nina felt a burning in her cheeks at Aunt Lou’s words, and headed towards the cellar with Everett. She was thankful that there wasn’t any fire around, otherwise, she might have lost control. She bit her lip as she thought about it, her new ‘talent.’ However, she and Petyr had agreed to keep it secret. 

[color=d86c00]”So what kind of clothing do I need for hunting? Besides the lovely vest.”[/color] Nina looked around the cellar with a bit of surprise. The place was almost an armory, full of guns, bows, and ammunition. [color=d86c00][i]”Wow. I should not be here.”[/i][/color]

“What size are you?” Everett said as he walked to the back of the room and through a door. 

Nina paused. [color=d86c00]”About a medium I’d say. I wouldn’t know. Been awhile since I’ve actually bought clothing.”[/color]

When Everett came back he had a box filled with a few different kinds of shirts and pants. “Just make sure whatever you pick is long and it fits well. You can change through there. Take what you like. “ Everett said setting the box of clothes on a table. “Take your time, I need to get a few things together.”

[color=d86c00]”Got it.”[/color] Nina looked over into the box and sighed a bit. She fished around for some clothing that she thought would fit and set them aside in a small pile on the table. After about ten minutes, she picked up the pile and went into the area Everett had said she could change in. 

She soon came out in hunting clothing that she deemed acceptable, and pulled her hair up into a bun. She brushed her hand over the shirt, trying to press out some wrinkles. [color=d86c00]”Ready as I’ll ever be, I guess.”[/color]

“You look good.” Everett said with a smile. In front of him on a table was his favorite rifle, empty magazines and ammo. Next to them was a backpack filled with everything Everett was gonna need for the trip. He always made sure that this bag was always ready to go. Everett quickly swapped the battle out for a longer one. At twenty inches it was the perfect length for what he needed to do. He also had changed clothes. He quickly went to get his belt rig.

The belt rig had a handgun holstered, spare magazines for both weapons, a flashlight and a huge first aid kit. By the time he was done he almost looked like he was going to war. “Well let's get going knowing Aunt Lou she probably has the horses ready to go.” Everett said absently. 

[color=d86c00]”Just… don’t make fun of me when I fall off the horse, ok?”[/color] Nina looked over Everett, a bit surprised. She had never really seen him like this before, but honestly? Who’d let him come to school looking like that. [color=d86c00]”Lead the way. I’m in your hands now.”[/color]
