Dutch: yes, and anything that you feel you are going need on your hunt it's on me.

Lex just gave Dutch a big hug before pick up the bow and arrows she wanted. Nombler a beginner like Lex will start with 30 to 50 arrows but that down right foolish for Lex tips so they pick up a 250 set. Lex also get the bow gloves and carrying chase go with it. Now with her new bow in hand she follow Dutch to the counter well J.C. was at before when to the back.

Lex: so how long do you think it going to take J.C. to get everything?

Dutch: Mmm…about 10min that if J.C. don't stop to play around.

J.C.: O.k.. Here everything on the list is their anything els?

Lex (showing him the bow and arrows chase): yes. I like to have these too.

J.C.: Aa the Deadeye, good choice. But I think I have something that you might like hold on for a min I'll been back.

He said before going into the backroom again Lex and Dutch give each other a puzzler look before a min later J.C return with another case of arrows in his hand.

Lex: what so special about these J.C.?

J.C: These are explosion arrows

Lex: cool but how do they work?

J.C.: Simple (showing her the button) Just press this button on the tail here. One time to exploive on impact, two times for a 10 sec delay just be careful when you use them o.k.

Lex: I will, thank you

J.C.: now if there nothing else I can get for you too I'm going to these in your car.

And J.C. did just that but before letting them go on their way he ask them to wait just for a moment they did and it wasn't too long for J.C. come back with 2 practice targets for Lex bow. J.C. said he's goodbyes to Dutch and wish Lex good luck on her hunting tip before go into his store. On the way back to her aunt house Lex ask Dutch can they stop by the local bookstore he did. It didn't take long for Lex to come back with 2 books in hand. Once in the car Dutch ask.

Dutch: so, what did you get?

Lex slime as hold up the books so he can see read the tillers.

Dutch (reading them out load): "how to quick fire and tick shots with a bow." and " Homer the Odyssey?"

Lex: yeah I know. When I was in high school I had to a report on it so I read it and love it but I hadn't read it in long time so I pick it up for old times and beside it's a good choice for the tip I'm going on.

Dutch: yeah, But I hope it don't take you 15 years for you to come back home like it Odysseus.

Now back at her aunt house Dutch and Lex notices that Mike car is gone but they didn't worry about too much he probable gone to take the others to do some shopping or something. As they got out the car Lex when to the door to unlock it while Dutch open the tank to the bags out but take them out and place on the porch step before going back for Lex targets.

Lex (getting her bow out): Dutch can you set up them in the back for me? I like to try out my bow before the other get back.

Dutch (smiling): yeah, no problem

It only take Dutch a min to two to set them up before headed into the house with the bags. Lex was about to start shooting her bow but her curious about what was in these bags got the best of her. So she place her bow by one her targets before heading inside. She found Dutch clearing off the kitchen table off before putting one the bags on it.

Lex (standing next to him): so Dutch is all of them is for me? Or did you get some stuff for you too?

Dutch: yes and no.

He side before started pull out weapon's in the bag saying what they are as he did.

Dutch (place them the table): 2 M16's with Grenade Launcher, 1 AK-47, 2 Assault shotguns, and 1shounder Launcher.

Lex couldn't believe all the guns that Dutch have got for her but also get her to wounding what in the other2 bags are fill with.

Lex: don't tell me that other bags are fill with guns to?

Dutch (opening the other 2 bags): no. Just some other thing that I thought you might need.

In the sec bag was fill with ammo for her new guns and third beg was fill with MRE or Military food that Lex call them and Med kits. At that moment Mike and the others have come back form grocers store. Mike was the first one to entrue the kitchen.

Mike: Well I can see that we wasn't the only one that went shopping Aa.

He said as he looks over the guns on the table before put down the bag of gorgers on the flood. Anna, Leona and Aunt Ellis soon follow and they just was in shock as Mike was to the table full with guns Dutch had to expand himself to aunt Ellis on why he is using her kitchen tabor like a gun rake before pointed out the guns that he indeed got for himself and Anna to Lex.

Lex: so the M16, AK-47, Assault Shot Gun and Shoulder Launder is your.

Dutch: yep.

Lex: good question should take them all with me Dutch?

Dutch: no. I surges that you decide which one would be best for you.

Lex: O.K. if anyone need me I'll be in the back.

Dutch and Mike when over with her how to take care her new guns before she take a good shower and to bed knowing that tomorrow she will be pick up by ColdBlade and DarkFire.
