the blanket on top of the gun. I climbed up the ladder onto the deck. Cable and Ivan were inflating the blow up boat. They were going to row to shore and get fruit food for the ride out. “Okay, I think that we’re done.” Ivan said. Cable pushed four fingers onto the boat. He nodded. “Alright. We’re ready to…
