Book Cover & Preview Text
In the interim, Philip had decided Marty was correct about the need to conceal his gun and decided to hide the gun again. He neglected to take off the holster; he didn’t give it a thought. Thought wasn’t much of his concern. He put the gun back between the bedsprings and mattress at the foot of the bed then pulled it back out again. He knew there was a safety, the switch preventing inadvertent firing, but was confused as to its position. He had switched it back and forth, got disgusted, and then just put it under the mattress.
