O’Keefe finds these thefts rather curious. Certainly, Striper would have the resources to obtain weapons on her own. Unless ... Perhaps she has been so intent on moving swiftly that she has been forced to pick up weapons where and when they become available. O’Keefe hopes that means Striper is tracking him with the same reckless spontaneity with which she charged into his guns at the cabin in Maine. It would make his task all the easier. He will not rely on that, however.
