Character Introduction
Woke up 'bout 10 hours south of here, on the southwestern side of Missouri. Woke up before the sun did. Made myself some coffee on the rest of the coals that I had from the fire from the night before. And then got in, packed up the camp, hopped in to my '75 black Chevy Silverado and took a good long look at the picture of my wife and kid – which is the only thing I have left of them – that sits on my dashboard. [Doctor Samuel: “You've mentioned that before.”  Sam: “I'm getting teary-eyed thinking about it.”] Then I got on the road. I had a package sitting right next to me that needed to be delivered – strapped in to that seat-belt, 'cos I like to keep 'em safe. I listened to some radio – wasn't feeling it – put on my “Lonesome Dove” audio book. And then, you know, stopped to eat, and then finally got to where I was going about 10 hours later – the docks of Chicago, not too long – Lake Michigan – it's huge, there's lots of docks, I don't know the specifics. [Doctor: “You had to drop something off there?” Sam: “Yeah”] I went there to deliver that package. I got there and there's a whole mess of guys in this warehouse. I walk in there and I'm like, “OK, I got it. Do you guys have the money?” – which is just in a briefcase, it's real cool. And he said, “Yeah, but we're not gonna– Go ahead and give us the package and we'll give you the money.”  They had no intention of handing over said money, so what I had to do was – oh man, I'll go into it – I shot the guy who was holding the briefcase in the knee. And I had to snatch that from – the money – and I had the package, and basically just had to firefight my way out of there. [Doctor: “Oh my!”]  And as you can see, I did lose a finger – like, I went to wipe some sweat from my brow. [Hal: “Damn!”]  Yeah about an hour ago. It's – like, I had this shirt in my pickup truck and I think it's holding the blood in pretty good, but – yeah. So that was my Monday.
