His wife handed him the gunbelt.He put the belt on not bothering to check the gun or the spare magazines.He knew she would have personally cleaned and loaded the pistol.

Funny how she always grew warmer towards him when times were hard .

Tonight he would begin walking through the coastal ranges.Sometime tomorrow he would be at his objective.Atascadero - deep in NDP country.
hmmm intersting....how would I get myself a wife like that.....all the women my character meet are; deranged unreliable,insane,evil,psychotic and has tendences towards suicide...ahh women ...the highs get higher and the lows get more frequent.
