pubba had told him to stay in the cubby while he was out, so that's exactly what gus did, despite with a little bit of questioning and whining. he sat in there, occasionally sipping his syrup or playing with his slingshot, not really having anything to entertain himself. suddenly, the silence on the cabin was broken by the sound of the door opening, and he immediately paused, listening for more sounds, and more sounds he got. stuff in the cabin shuffled around as the intruder searched, and soon, he opened the cubby, sticking his head and slingshot out, but he stopped when he realized there was a teenager in front of him, not some big who came to steal stuff.
