I opened a writing app and began typing what I knew about…
““I opened a writing app and began typing what I knew about Pierce. Vain . Terminal fear of T-shirts or any other garment that would cover his pectorals. Deadly . Doesn't hesitate to kill. Holding him at gunpoint would result in me being barbecued. Whee. Likes burning things . Now here's an understatement. Good information to have, but not useful for finding him. Antigovernment . Neither here nor there. Hmm. So far my best plan would be to build a mountain of gasoline cans and explosives, stick a Property of US Government sign on it, and throw a T-shirt over Pierce's head when he showed up to explode it. Yes, this would totally work.””
