The sun was sinking toward the horizon by the time Parker and Mason made it back to the cabin.
“What’s for supper?” Parker asked.

“And you’re so full of shit. Mom packed some burgers and hot dogs, if you want those.”
“What about really getting back to the wild and catching our own supper?”
“Huh?”

“Uh. Well, I’m not sure if it’s still trout season “
“Come on, man, live dangerously. Who’s around to see us and call the cops, anyway?”
