Chapter 29: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

On his first day as a part-time moving worker, he experienced a moment that was nothing short of harrowing. Dean couldn't help but wonder if he was just too lucky.

He had long heard that in the land of the free, America, shootings happened every day, but only personal experience brought to life the thrill of it.
