He pulled it out and almost fell off the chair. Immediately, he glanced down at Antsy Fracus to make sure his roommate didn't see it as well.

He pulled the stove out from the wall and was surprised to see all the dirt, grime and filth. As he wondered how it got there, he stashed the weapon and pushed the stove back into place. Then he left for a class at the University of Guam, passing that same plate of yesterday's chicken sitting in the living room. Later that afternoon, Junior Boy returned to the apartment, thrilled to see both his roommates were away. He made a beeline to the bedroom closet, climbed the chair and reached around until his heart nearly burst.
