' i’m gonna climb up this for the next thirty minutes now, and i’m gonna get up there, and there’s gonna be fucking nothing. '

she really doesn’t want to laugh. it’s clear john is frustrated and how could he not be, what with the dirty jobs he’s being forced to do and now with this fucking bird taking the very important document they needed to keep moving forward. it felt ridiculous, both of them sitting at camp trying to catch a proper breather, only for a bird to swoop down and take the papers up to its nest up on the highest fucking branch of the tree. both sadie and john have tried shooting it down but with all the shrubbery blocking the view, they’ve only knocked down branches. but no nest and no papers. the sun digs into her eyes and her neck aches from looking up so much, and she snorts at john’s words. “really? i think i have a better chance of climbin’ than you do, john. and if i fall, you can catch me. not sure i can catch you. you’ve got the body of a dad now!”
