The truth is, anything that is risky and dangerous always starts out as fun. But the odds are always stacked in gravity's favor, for you will eventually come face to face with the earth, and mother earth always wins those battles.

So when you came up the road, after we finished beating that fella nobody bothered going for the nine, because it was only you one to all of us. But after you snatched that gun out of Geo's hand and fired those shots at us, I ran back to get the nine. We had it stashed in a mattress through the shortcut next to where we were hanging out. Then he asked me in a serious tone, 'You know, each time I jammed my hand in that mattress to find the gun, I couldn't find it? I was like, 'Where in the hell this gun is?' I heard when you were firing those shots at Franz, but I couldn't find that gun. It was only after you left did I found the gun.
