Grant Perkins was the victim present at the crime scene when the police arrived. It seems as it was fall because of the dead leaves on the ground and hunting season is in fall. The narrator noticed how Grant’s body was tangled and how he was knocked out of his boots. The narrator was one of the Riverpoint boys. Shep, Henry, John Michael, and Logan were also present. The characters were sad, shocked, scared, and felt paralyzed. The boys were thinking that if one of them goes down they all are going too. The information that was not in the text that we need to know is who used the Remington and who shot Grant. Small details that can be important later on would be that all the boys had used the Remington the day before and they all had used drugs and alcohol the previous night at a party.
