I started wondering where this was going. “None, officially that is. Vinay Allan is an Animal Control Officer. Dad and I have been out shooting and ...hunting with him since I was about eleven. They taught me basic survival and bush skills. I think Vinay has some military experience if that counts.”“He was a sniper, that’s why he is good at his current job,” dad told them.
