I’ve also seen her, with one      
motion, flip both guns and shoot back- 
wards. Both of them also hitting dead  
center, except, I’ve never seen you do 
that one blindfolded, babe.            
     She also knows how to break all   
her guns down, clean them, and reas-   
semble them. That, I’ve seen her do    
blindfolded.                           
     We even have all the equipment she
needs to make her own ammunition, but  
I’ve already explained that part.      
     Myself, I didn't like guns,       
especially being shot by one, but I    
have to admit that I felt safer when   
she was around, and I didn't worry as  
much when she wasn't.                  
     The patrols always lasted from    
eleven until two in the morning. Half- 
way through, Beth and I would switch   
* hot spots, unless she had to leave on a  
call.                                  
     It was our way of making sure each
area got looked at with fresh eyes, in 
case either of us missed something.    
     She always thought we were the    
only ones doing these patrols.         
     This Friday was going to be the   
end of all that. The end of every      
single secret I've ever kept from her, 
but how do I do that without also      
losing her?
