Creative Writing: Uncle Tom's Cabin

We’ll be back soon okay?” Cable said. “If you need the gun, it’s under the blanket.” I nodded. He climbed up the ladder that led to the deck. I walked to the blanket and lifted it up. A flare gun was resting under the blanket. “Well hopefully I won’t need it!” I shouted to Cable. Cable chuckled. “I hope not.” Cable zipped up his bag and threw it onto his shoulder.
