Ty clipped the mike back onto the side of the radio, took the keys from the ignition, unlocked the glove compartment, and took the Smith and Wesson Police Special from its holster.  His hand was still bleeding and he had trouble fitting his fingers around the handle and trigger.  Pushing with his left hand, he pressed the revolver into position.  He left the car, walked toward the house, letting the gun hang heavy at his side like a suitcase full of regret.
