TRAY

It's time to work out my plan.

I drive up to the address written on the piece of paper on my hand. Booking an appointment with this dealer was hard but I played my tricks on him.

The hall is ringed with long aisles of display booths, gun dealers all small and large, their wares displayed on the backlit walls.

I spot the booth I'm looking for along the back row.

M24 bolt-action sniper's rifle.

The owner is a rudy faced guy in a polo shirt with a mustache that looks like Post Malone's one. I walk up to him and scan the other guns behind him.

True beauty.

I grab one rifle that catches my eye and put my hand around the handle.

Nice!

I check the magazine and pull back the slide, feeling the action.

Light and smooth.

I thumb the slide release and gently squeeze the trigger.

Click.

This would do the trick.

The guy comes over and grins.

" Looking for something compact and reliable, that's a nice one you're holding."

" Yeah, I love it."

" Good for hunting, It sells faster around here.

" It's nice..." I set the gun down on the counter and look at the dealer in the eye.

" Reck told me you might be able to handle it for me. I was hoping to, I think you know...find my way around some regulations. I lost my ID and driver's license."

The dealer smiles a tight smile from underneath his mustache.

" I know Reck, a good friend of mine." He turns his back to the aisle.

" I assume we're talking cash?"

I shrug, " If that's possible."

He scratches his jaw and nods.

" How about eighty and you can take it with you as it is. No questions asked."

I pick up the gun and squeeze the trigger one more time.

" I'll take it." I reach into my pocket and bring out a load of cash.

" I'mma write you a receipt, just incase." The dealer says and bends under the cabinet.

He hands me the receipt and I walk out, my gun in hand.
