They gutted the fish and shrimp with a dagger and then cleaned them in the warm water they had prepared in advance.
The fish was then placed on the grill and slowly roasted on the fire. The shrimp on the other hand was directly thrown inside a boiler pot with some salt.
The bodyguards had thought of bringing only one bag of salt along with them, because they reckoned that they didn't need it for much. When Harry saw this, he asked them to bring more.
If things kept on like this, salt would play an essential role.
As for the roasted fish, only a few sprinkles of salt were added to it along with some simple seasonings. It would certainly not taste as delicious as they had eaten it before, but it was food. A lot of the fish was personally caught by Harry, and everyone was enjoying the food cheerfully.
The shrimp taste, however, was much better, because most of the shrimp they had eaten before was cooked in the same, or similar, salty manner. Not to mention that the shrimp had been freshly caught from the lake, so it was no wonder it tasted good.
After their dinner, everyone started to clean up the garbage. Harry then told Jordan, "I'm going out for a walk with Lola, to promote digestion." Then, Harry held Lola's hand and went away with her.
The moon looked much bigger then, and it was relatively brighter. They could see each other well enough without any other artificial light.
After walking for a few minutes, Lola curiously asked the man beside her, "How did you manage to
catch all that fish?" And indeed, there had been much fish.
"There's a lake about ten kilometers away from here. In the lake there's so much fish that you can catch it even without having any sort of skill. " Harry then turned around, looked at her fair face, and got some idea.
But Lola didn't know what Harry was up to. She was just excited, and was asking to go fishing with him tomorrow.
Harry scanned the environment around them, and said, "Let's go now. Let's go to some wonderful place now."
The bonfire could barely be seen from there, and Harry pushed her in a narrow gap of the glacier.
Lola was a little confused. Her waist was being caressed by two big palms inside her military coat.
She now realized why Harry had taken her out for a walk. She pinched his arm gently, and said, "We've been out for a long time now. They'll be coming for us." Her face blushed in the moonlight, and she looked at him with tender and lustful eyes.
Harry didn't care that much, and he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
After an hour
Harry lovingly embraced Lola and then went back to the camp. He found that there were only two bodyguards on duty there.
"Did the rest all go to bed?" While Harry asked, he kept walking towards the tent.
"Yes, Mr. Lewis." The bodyguards looked at Lola and chuckled.
Jordan was already lying in his tent, having a good rest. When Harry asked Lola to go for a stroll, he didn't worry about her. He knew pretty clear what the couple might do outside, besides the walk. He missed his wife in those moments.
He wondered what the pregnant woman was doing back at home. Was she coaxing their son to go to bed?
There was no mobile phone signal here, and his mobile phone was out of battery anyway, so he had nothing left to do but to look at the tent's walls and wait and miss her.
When Lola was finally fed up with all the fish and shrimps, after having them for three meals in a row, Harry brought a box of canned beef and a bag of dried fruit from somewhere.
She was shocked when she saw them, and looked at the man, who seemed to be always calm. "Where did you get them?" she asked. They had already eaten all the beef cans and dried fruit in the first two days of their trip. There was only one possibility, that he didn't eat his rations, and instead saved them for her.
Harry took the dried fish from her hand, and said, "You don't have to know where I got them from. Just shut up and eat." He opened the can of beef and then passed it to her.
For Lola, who had eaten only roasted salted fish for the past couple of days, this was certainly a feast.
However, Lola only picked one piece of meat on her plate. She picked up another piece for Harry and fed it to him; that way, he had no chance to refuse her.
The man had no choice but to open his mouth and eat. Lola then passed the rest of the beef to Jordan. "Help yourself, my brother."
Before Jordan managed to decline, Lola immediately pretended to be angry. "Come on, brother, eat!" They had all been eating fish for the last couple of days, so everyone surely must have been sick and tired of it.
Jordan didn't reply at all, so Lola picked up a piece of beef and then put it on his own plate.
Jordan picked it up and was going to give it back, but Lola looked as if she was pretty unhappy, and said, "Since it's now on your plate brother, I don't want it anymore. You are disgusting!"
Regardless of Jordan's mixed feelings, she stood up decisively and continued to share the canned beef with the others. Before the bodyguards had a chance to refuse her, Lola picked a piece for each, and placed it on their plates.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lewis."
"Thank you, Mrs. Lewis." They all felt extremely flattered because Mrs. Lewis had personally given them food. Then they carefully glanced at Harry, because they were afraid that he might be angry. If that happened, they would be thrown out of the camp and left as wolf food.
As Lola went back to her own seat, Harry looked at the little woman with a smile on his face. He really
admired her generosity.
There were two pieces of meat left in the can, and Lola said in a jaunty voice, "Now, the rest of the two pieces are mine only!"
Everyone nodded gratefully. One piece was enough for them! Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Harry felt her long hair and then placed a piece of boneless fish on her plate.
Another day had gone by; Harry had already discussed with Jordan. If no one came to rescue them tomorrow night, they would have to return there on the morning of the day after tomorrow to start over again.
After all, they had no idea of what they might be facing ahead. If they didn't drive there, it might seem like an endless journey.
And the most important thing was food. Luckily, they had plenty of fish and shrimp in the glacier area. If any land was ahead, it must surely be barren.
The wisest choice for them was to go back and make their full preparations first.
On the afternoon of the next day, while Lola was bored and was trying to find something interesting, she suddenly heard the sound of cars.
She listened carefully. Yes, it was the sound of moving cars!
She ran back to Harry in a hurry, but by this time, Harry was already standing up and looking into the
distance in the direction from where they had come.
In no more than one minute, several cars were stopped in front of them.
They were really excited when they saw the rescue cars, but they didn't know who their drivers were. They took it for granted that it was their men that had come for them.
Joey got out of the passenger seat from the first car, and Lola was really excited when she saw him, because she also seemed to see food and many other necessities coming along with him.
Lola instantly ran to Joey. When Harry saw the woman running to the man in front of them, his smile faded right away.
He then caught up with Lola, but before Lola had the chance to throw herself on Joey and hug him, he stopped her.
What did she think she was doing when he was standing right there beside her? She needed to be taught a lesson!
However, Lola was still waving and shouting to Joey. "Joey, Joey, have you brought any good food for us? Come on, show me. We've been waiting for you for a long time!" Harry pulled Lola by her shoulders, to prevent her from falling into Joey's arms.
