Chapter 11 - Diving In

“Give us an eye, there, Maggie.” Dale suggested. She walked over, standing beside the well and nodding to Iris, who gave a mocking salute. The rope was snug against her as she was slowly lowered into the well. She gripped the flashlight tight, ready to face the son of a bitch. It’s raspy growls got louder as she went further down, bubbled arms reaching up for her sweet, succulent human flesh.

“Doing okay?” Maggie called.

“Peachy.” Iris replied. She got closer and closer, low enough now that she could give his skull a good ring with her foot if she so chose.

“Little lower, little more.” Maggie told the people with the rope. Iris grit her teeth as she got close, bracing her legs against the stone walls of the well. She readied the rope in her head, prepared to loop it around the bloated fucker just as a loud creak and a pop flooded their ears. Iris felt the lurch of her stomach as the rope holding her dropped.

Lori and Andrea screamed as the pump was dislodged from the ground, rusted bolts giving way. Shane dropped to the ground, lunging for the rope as Iris yelped in surprise. She spread her arms and legs wide, grabbing at the slick stones to hold herself in place, but she dropped the flashlight. She was strong enough that she could hold herself up for a while, and she took a deep breath as the others seemed to pull themselves together. 

T-Dog had his feet on the concrete rim of the well, leveraging against her weight. The others got their bearings and their grip, bringing her a little higher, the rope now braced against the pipe and nothing else. 

“Iris!” Shane yelled out, panting.

“I’m good!” She yelled back. Maggie was on her hands and knees, looking down into the well.

“Good lord, you from some kind of circus?” She asked.

“Pull me up, damn it!” Iris yelled back. They strained, T-Dog scooting backwards in the dirt before Shane could stand, taking the brunt of the wait from him and pulling Iris up. She half climbed the stone walls, pushing herself up quickly once she could reach the pipe and the lip of the well.

“Pull her up! Pull her up!” Lori cried, running over and helping Iris to her feet. 

“Are you okay?” Andrea asked as Iris stood with her hands braced on her knees. She blew out a breath to take a moment, eyes wide, and brushed off her clothes.

“Yeah, yeah. Good.” She breathed, standing straight and stretching her back. “Holy shit.”

“Well, back to the drawing board.” Dale muttered, frowning at the well.

“I should hope not. Slimy down there’s not smart enough to get the rope off all by himself.” Iris replied. They all blinked, turning to look down the well with Dale’s flashlight. Iris had looped the rope around the walker perfectly, tucked neatly under its arms, the other end still looped neatly on the ground beside them. Dale picked up the rope, tugging on it and feeling the walker pull against it.

“I’ll be damned.” Shane stated, hands on his hips as he nodded in approval. Iris cocked her head in reply. She knew she was good. Maggie quickly brought over her horse and they tied the rope up so the horse could do most of the dirty work. They all grabbed hold of the rope, tugging on the snarling ball of dead weight. They pulled him up little by little, grunting with effort. The son of a bitch reached for T-Dog at the edge of the well, who recoiled at the sight and smell. He wasn’t pretty.

“You got to pull it, guys!” T-Dog called. “It’s stuck! Come on.” Something on it had caught on the lip of the well, the group pulling hard at the rope. It garbled a pained noise, or maybe anger as it’s flesh pulled tighter.

“Hold on, hold on, maybe it’s not such a—“ 

Iris didn’t get to finish her sentence as the weakened, half-rotten flesh of his middle split in half, rancid blood and soupy innards spilling out over the ground. Iris lunged toward it, but she wasn’t close enough as it’s lower half, intestines, spinal chord and all, slipped right back down into the well, the fresh water source officially condemned. The upper half turned away from the well, still reaching toward them and half-crawling across the dirt. Iris huffed, pulling out her knife and putting an end to the sorry bastard.

There was a beat of silence as everyone mourned the terrible idea, the terrible execution, and the terrible result. If he smelled bad, his insides smelled even worse.

“We should seal off this well.” Dale said quietly, shaking his head. Shane ran a hand over his scalp.

“Yeah, might be a good idea.” He agreed.

“What do we do about the—“ Andrea was cut off by a loud grunt from T-Dog, who took out his frustration by bashing the dead walker’s skull in with his boot. They all took a moment while he increased the amount of blood on the ground, his clothes, his shoes, and watched when he stopped, standing straight.

“It’s a good thing we didn’t do something damn stupid like shoot it.” He stated. Iris sighed, kicking the half-corpse back into the well with the rest of it.

-

Shane took Andrea and Carol up to the highway with some food and a sports drink to leave for Sophia. They even found a bit of paint Carol could use to leave her a message. Glenn and Maggie left to go on a pharmacy run, and Iris ducked into the farmhouse to visit Carl. 

He looked peaceful sleeping, cheeks much more flushed than yesterday. It was a relief to see. Lori said he’d woken up since the surgery, but they left him to rest most of the time. He’d recover faster that way. Iris brought in a glass of water for him, sitting down at his bedside and watching his little chest rise and fall.

He inhaled deeper as his little eyes opened slightly, grimacing at the bright light of the afternoon. Iris smiled softly as he turned to see her.

“Hey, cowboy.” She greeted quietly.

“Hey.” He replied softly, smiling back. “My mom told me you saved my life.”

“Nah.” She shook her head. “You are one tough kid. And you’re gonna have a hell of a battle scar.” 

“Thanks.” He said, flashing a grin. He turned to the windows, his smile fading as he watched the group move around outside. “My dad said Sophia was fine, but you haven’t found her yet, have you?” He asked. Iris paused, glancing outside and sighing.

“No, we haven’t. But we aren’t gonna stop looking.” She replied. 

“He lied.” Carl murmured.

“Your dad’s working really hard to keep everyone together.” Iris corrected, looking at him sternly. “He’s only lying so you can rest, relax, prioritize getting better.” She paused, looking back out at the group. Daryl had returned a little while ago, and she watched him duck into the RV, holding what seemed like… flowers? “Everyone was pretty jealous of your deer story. Your dad mentioned it but they’ll be exited to hear it from you when you feel better.”

“It was so pretty.” He said with a dreamy smile. “Iris?”

“Yeah, cowboy?”

“Thank you.” He said, looking up at her. “For… for- for saving my life, and for telling me the truth.” He looked at her then, and for a second, Iris swore he was much older than ten. It was a little scary.

“Anytime, kid.” She replied, taking and squeezing his hand.

Lori came in a little later, glad to see her son up and awake. Iris stepped down the porch, directing Rick inside to see his son. She found a place with her companions by the campfire, and they laughed into the evening. The sun began to set, people retiring to their tents one by one as the fire died. Soon, there was nothing but smouldering embers and the light of the stars. 

As Iris stood alone from a small folding chair, a twig snapped behind her and she turned. Daryl stood there, mid-stride, frozen as if he was caught sneaking up on some game. Most likely an attempt to quietly sneak into his tent and pass out without any excess human interaction.

“Didn’t mean to scare you.” He said quietly, voice rumbling lowly. Iris shook her head.

“You didn’t scare me.” She replied. He nodded, making to cross to his tent. “I was in the RV earlier…” He stopped, looking back up at her. “Carol told me the story. Cherokee Roses.” He turned away toward the field, but turned back.

“I don’t want to hear nothing about—“

“No, no. I thought it was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.” Iris said slowly. She glanced at the RV, just barely able to see Carol, Dale and Andrea playing cards at the table. “She really needed it.”

“Yeah.” He agreed. They stood in the quiet for a moment, their breaths, the humming of crickets and soft shuffling from the cows in the field the only sound in the night. He spoke again, his voice even quieter than before. “Don’t you tell no one about me gettin’ soft.” Iris smiled, shaking her head.

“Wouldn’t dream of it.” She replied. He scoffed, but it was lighthearted. He glanced at the ground, then back at her. She slowly made her way across the small clearing to her own tent before turning back, that smile still playing on her lips. “Goodnight.”

“Night.” He replied. He watched her unzip the tent and climb in, a small lantern emitting a soft light and highlighting her silhouette. Daryl turned, ducking into his own tent and sinking into the embrace of his sleeping bag.

-

Iris had barely pulled her boots on when Rick did the rounds, collecting everyone who volunteered to help search for Sophia in the morning. It was laundry day, so Carol had collected everyone’s dirty clothes and hung them on lines between trees. Iris was more than happy to be wearing a clean pair of jeans and a black tank top that wasn’t covered in sweat and blood stains. She tied her hair back, following Rick to the station wagon, where the map laid. He’d drawn out a grid already, clearly prepared to hit the ground running.

Hershel had cleared her, and after the adrenaline of yesterday, Iris was happy to be doing something away from the farm for a bit. She took a liking to the forest, in all honesty. There was something homely about it.

“Alright, everyone’s getting new search grids today.” Rick stated. Iris noted that he was no longer wearing his sheriff’s uniform. He seemed more comfortable, frankly. Daryl, T-Dog, Shane and Andrea lined up to her left. Rick pointed to a spot on the map. “If she made it as far as the farmhouse Daryl found yesterday, she might have gone further east than we’ve been so far.”

“I’d like to help.” A young boy, who Maggie told her was named Jimmy, and happened to be dating her sister, said, stepping forward. “I know the area pretty well, and stuff.”

“Hershel’s okay with this?” Rick asked. He nodded.

“Yeah. Yeah. He said I should ask you.” Jimmy replied. Rick nodded.

“Alright then. Thanks.”

“Nothing about what Daryl found screams Sophia to me.” Shane stated. “Anyone could have been holed up in that farmhouse.”

“Anybody includes her, right?” Andrea pointed out.

“Whoever slept in that cupboard was no bigger than yay-high.” Daryl countered, holding out his hand as he shrugged a button down shirt over his wife-beater.

“It’s a good lead.” Andrea agreed.

“Maybe we’ll pick up her trail again.” Rick nodded.

“No maybe about it. I’m gonna borrow a horse, head up to this ridge right here, take a bird’s-eye view of the whole grid. If she’s up there, I’ll spot her.”

“Good idea. Maybe you’ll see your chupacabra up there, too.” T-Dog taunted.

“Chupacabra?” Iris asked, raising an eyebrow.

“You never heard this?” Dale asked, walking over with the duffel bag of guns. “First night in camp, Daryl tells us that the whole thing reminds him of when he went squirrel hunting and saw a chupacabra.” Jimmy snorted, bursting into laughter.

“What are you braying at, jackass?” Daryl asked.

“So you believe in a blood-sucking dog?” Jimmy asked.

“Do you believe dead people walking around?” Daryl retorted. Iris pressed her lips together to hide her smile. Jimmy reached across the map for a rifle, but Rick stopped him.

“Hey, hey. Ever fire one before?” Rick asked warily. T-Dog was watching him closely.

“Well, if I’m going out, I want one.” Jimmy protested.

“Yeah, and people in hell want slurpees.” Daryl replied. Iris let herself smile this time. He lifted his crossbow onto his shoulder, adjusting the strap.

“Want company?” She asked. He jerked his chin toward the horses and she made to walk with him.

“You want a gun?” Rick asked as she passed by.

“I’m good.” She replied, patting her knife belt. He nodded and she turned around, following Daryl. 

She paused again as he walked past the farmhouse toward the horses. Maggie was chatting idly with Glenn on the porch. Clearly, Daryl was about to ‘borrow’ a horse. Without asking. She rolled her eyes, jogging toward the porch. Glenn and Maggie halted their conversation as she got closer and she grinned. Something was sparking between these two.

“Hey, Maggie, do you mind if Daryl and I borrow the horses? We’ll take good care of them, we’re just going out to look for Sophia.” Iris asked. Maggie paused, pursing her lips.

“Yeah, okay. If you get into any trouble, just send ‘em on home. They’ll come back, and we’ll know something’s up.” She replied.

“Alright. We’ll keep them out of harms way.” Iris nodded. Maggie glanced over to Daryl, watching him lead the pair of horses from their field. 

“Thanks for coming to ask.” She said, bemused. Iris’ lips curled up and she nodded, jogging to catch up with Daryl.

Over an hour of looking, and she’d never get used to the twang of the crossbow. Or rather, how accurate Daryl’s aim seemed to be. He pulled the arrow out of a tree, stringing the dead squirrel on the line of many, hanging from the horse’s saddle. There was a comfortable silence between them, speaking up only if they saw something of note. A walker, what might have been a trail, anything.

She was surprised with his comfort on the back of a horse. Iris was no stranger to horses, very similar, in her mind, to a living, breathing, wiggling motorcycle, but she was a mildly awkward rider all the same. She was glad he was leading, weaving through the trees and letting his horse find the best path.

“Whoa.” He mumbled, the horse slowing to a stop. Iris slowed up behind him, following his gaze down near the creek. Here, the creek seemed to be a trickling stream surrounded by banks of mud, but it was still the creek. “You see it?” He almost whispered. Iris brought her horse up beside his, leaning forward around a tree. 

“No.” She muttered, slightly irritated. He reached forward, shifting her chin slightly to the right. She caught sight of what he saw, a tiny speck, practically, in the mud banks of the creek. A doll. Sophia’s doll. “Damn.” She whispered. Daryl dismounted the horse, handing her the lead as he slung his crossbow off his back and started to climb down the slope.

Iris climbed off of the horse, tying the leads to a nearby tree before following suit, shuffling awkwardly rather than climbing. Daryl leaned down as Iris crossed the mud bank, plucking the doll from the edge of the murky water. It was soaked through and dirty, but there was no way of knowing how long it’d been there.

“Sophia!” Iris called, her voice echoing loudly. Daryl shoved the doll into his pocket, glancing around the banks. When there was no noise after a few minutes, walkers or otherwise, they climbed back up the slope, getting back on the horses.

True Story:

Throughout my life I have had many obsessions; fishing, the blonde I sat behind in high school biology, to have my own dog (Not just a 'family' dog), the redhead three doors down from our house, hockey, the brunette who would later become my wife, and a number of other things.

But when I was 10 years old I – like every other boy I knew – had a burning desire that made all other obsessions pale in comparison. My singular desire was to have to have a BB gun. I didn't care what kind, although for some reason I loved the look of the Daisy Model 30-30. Maybe it was because of all the Rawhide Kid, Kid Colt; Outlaw, or Cheyenne Kid comic books I consumed whilst hiding from my mother and her infernal chore list.

I wonder in retrospect if my mother believed that if a comic had 'Kid' in the title it couldn't possibly lead her flock astray, but I digress.

As far as BB guns go, I really didn't care what make or model. I just knew I had to have one. I dreamed about fighting off coyotes, black bear, and local bullies. The only requirement was that it be able to shoot a copper-clad projectile at a high rate of speed. Most of my friends already had their obsessions satisfied and it was a source of constant sorrow that I was BB gun-less.

My desire for a BB gun also filled me with a feeling of guilt because my parents ensured I had everything I needed and fulfilled many of my wants. My mother was never shy about providing me books, new or used, and Dad bought me all the fishing gear and hockey equipment I ever needed.

But Ivanhoe and shin pads couldn't fill the hole in my life left by something I had never possessed in the first place.

Any BB gun would have filled the hole.

One close friend, Skunk (don't ask), had the Holy Grail of the BB gun world – a Crosman pump rifle. This particular rifle was carried around town with much-deserved pride (oh, how I hated Skunk when he toted that gun around). I personally witnessed the sleek weapon puncture the side of a tomato juice can. I know it doesn't sound like much today, but back then, tomato juice cans were manufactured by the Ohio Boilermaker Company, made of 10 gauge, zinc-lined, galvanized steel, and, empty, they weighed 23 pounds.

Another friend actually had a BB pistol but his folks took it away from him because he put out one too many window.

There was a smattering of other BB guns in town. Most boys, who were born to more BB gun-friendly parents toted around Daisys, but I recollect other makes like Powermaster, Benjamin, and, of course, Crosman.

Mom apparently wasn't too worried about my brother and I shooting our eyes out because the Christmas after my 11th birthday my brother and I were presented with matching Daisy 102 Model 36 Cubs. My initial jealousy that my brother got his first gun at 10 while I had had to wait until I was 11 abated after a few seconds when I remembered he was my partner in crime and a pretty good friend all the way around.

The jealousy was immediately replaced with an ugly feeling of ingratitude that made me feel guilty and I tried to shake it off before my dad could see it in my eyes.

Cubs!

Yes, they were guns. Yes, they would shoot a BB. Yes, if you squinted at them, the rifles did sort of look menacing. But they were still Cubs, of all things. To those ignorant of the BB gun world, allow me to explain that the Daisy Cub was the AMC Pacer of the gun hierarchy. It was akin to eating a fast-food burger that has been sitting too long under the warmer; it looked vaguely burger-like, it would fill up an empty stomach, but no matter how you looked at it, it was never going to be a thick, mouth-watering, flame-broiled burger fresh from the barbecue grill in the back yard, dripping with grease, and topped off with the freshest of toppings.

-

Given that Christmas unreasonably seems to always fall in the dead of winter every year, and at least 8 feet of snow covered everything as far south as Des Moines and would until at least April, we were resigned that the guns wouldn't see much action until the Detroit Tigers were in spring training, at a minimum.

Dad, with a head toward solving our dilemma, came through in fine fashion. He covered the windows in the attic with a heavy, BB-proof tarp, hung up paper targets on a length of rope at one end of the cramped space and created an indoor shooting range for his two would be cowboys.

At this point it behooves me to again educate the BB gun ignorant; as a BB does not have a method of propelling itself down a barrel like a bullet, a BB gun has one of two ways to operate: 1. Compressed air (either manually pumped or by using a pre-filled CO2 cartridge), or, 2. Spring-loaded.

Take a wild stab at what method the fine folks at Daisy chose for the Daisy 102 Model 36 Cub.

Initially the BBs zipped to the targets just fine. The single light bulb hanging from the rafters was proof as it had to be replaced more than once, and we discovered the ricochet effect shooting at the chimney bricks.

By the end of January, the springs that provided the propulsion in the Cubs had lost some of their zip. To hit the targets we were required to raise the muzzles a few degrees to provide some elevation to the projectile's trajectory. By the beginning of March, the springs in both guns were so much al-dente fettuccine, and even if we managed to hit the targets – which wasn't a given – the BBs could no longer penetrate.

It wasn't long afterward that the blush fell off the rose and we were spending less and less time sharpening our sharpshooting skills.

I had some Two Gun Kid and Apache Kid comics to read.

-

Spring does show up every year, even to Northern Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. It's magical warmth causes the snow banks to shrink, gradually at first, and then disappear like cotton candy in a rain storm. It turned the roads into nearly impassable slush and mud, and boys' yearnings to everything summer: baseball, fishing, camping, freedom, no school.

In the spring and summer, Mom's infernal chore list was only a threat if one couldn't sneak out of the house before she latched onto an arm or ear. Avoiding Mom wasn't all that difficult, mostly because my brother and I had five younger siblings who always seemed to be crying for something or other and, as a result, Mom was almost continually distracted.

The first few glorious days of summer were spent in pursuit of birds and small animals with our new but impotent weapons. The hunts turned out to be exercises in futility because even if we managed to hit a chipmunk or squirrel, the BBs would do little more than tickle them.

It wasn't too many days before the Cubs were left in the hall closet to gather dust. What was the point of toting around a firearm that wouldn't fire? Nobody feared us, and the bears and coyotes were scarce, so our pursuits turned to fishing or swimming or that old trusty standby, finding ways to pester the neighborhood girls.

-

A few weeks into summer found a group of us kids, who had all successfully dodged our respective mother's chore lists, looking for mischief to get into. Picking on the girls was terrific fun but even that had gotten old. How often can you bomb a tea party with water balloons before it loses its attraction?

Fishing was always a draw for me, but nobody else wanted to slog the three miles to the river. A pick up baseball game was mentioned, but there were only eight of us, and, unless we wanted to play with older kids who would take over everything, or worse, girls, it was a non-starter.

Somewhere in our lethargy, the conversation turned to World War II. Over for some time, it was still a favorite subject. One friend's father had actually been in Normandy, and later on was stationed in Paris after it was liberated. He had been a supply clerk and never saw combat, but he still was a hero to us wide-eyed war junkies.

Most of us wouldn't have been able to find Normandy on a map, and whenever I heard of La Madeleine or other French towns I couldn't help picturing Mom's jar of orange marmalade that was always on the breakfast table. But even in our ignorance, we still loved talking about the war.

And then somebody casually asked, why not have a war of our own? For real. With guns. BB guns, albeit, but guns nevertheless. We could map out a large area south of town, stake out territories and try to capture the other's flags. We could set up rules of engagement and follow them to the letter. No targeting someone above the neck. No shooting if the target is closer than 10 feet. If you are hit anywhere but the arms or legs, you are out until the campaign was over and the new one began. Skunk could only pump his gun once; anything more would give him an unfair advantage.

The three boys who weren't already wearing Coke-bottle glasses had to see if they could filch safety goggles from their dad's garages or find something else to protect their eyes.

Breathless, my brother and I raced home to grab our guns and I crept up to our room to grab the half-filled, cardboard carton of ammunition Even employing stealth, we heard Mom yelling for us as the screen door banged behind us and we made our escape and headed to the field of battle.

Most boys are brain dead. At least I was and I can honestly say the thought of how stupid we were being never crossed my gray matter. I can't speak for my brother, but he was right by my side and I don't recall him voicing objections.

If we had stopped to think we would have recognized that if we were found out, not only would Dad bend our guns against the trunk of the maple tree in the back yard, but he'd wear out his razor strop on our heinies.

Perhaps common sense was out pestering the girls that afternoon because it was nowhere to be found when we all met up in the field under the giant cherry tree that we had designated as the demilitarized zone.

In short order we formed two, four-person armies and hammered out the theater of operations. We had to stay in between the two dirt roads to the east and west, and the northern edge of the pond was the southern boundary. The Pelkkanen's (who happened to be out of town) outhouse would represent the northern border of our combat arena.

We tore up the tee shirt pinched from somebody's clothesline and each team took half as a flag. We would split up, set up our head quarters and wait 20 minutes before launching hostilities.

None of us had a watch, so approximately 4 minutes later, we were all slinking through the waist-deep weeds and bramble bushes, crouching behind cedar bushes and pine trees looking for the enemy. Strategy? Ha! We just moved towards the opposite end of the war zone until, hopefully, we'd engage somebody to shoot at.

That's exactly what happened. The two skirmish lines met in an opening in the shrubbery and began firing as fast as we could work the levers on our guns. BBs flew like confetti and boys fell with over-dramatic flair. The BBs had a slightest of stings, except for Skunk's shots, but even those weren't terrible.

Through four successive battles the teams went at it. mostly adhering to the rules. One boy caught a BB in the ear that made him yelp, and in the fourth skirmish I took one in my lower lip which immediately began to swell. The pain wasn't too terrible and I fought on.

Tied two battles to two, we determined to settle the issue of supremacy in one last engagement. To the victor would belong the spoils, whatever they were. Possibly an empty tomato juice can.

Unfortunately, the other team had at least one boy who wasn't addle-minded and had something up their sleeves; they had no intention of a frontal assault.

We found out too late that three of the opposition moved to the west side of the combat zone and made somewhat of a ruckus, drawing our attacking force on the run, while their fourth slipped by unobserved on the east side, waltzed into our base, swiped our flag and redeployed back to his base.

We lost the battle and thus the war without firing a shot. While certainly the defeat stung, my brother and I took the whipping in stride and opined that we'd know better next time. One of our team yelled some of the worst Finnish words he knew; paska, and kusipaa and paskiainen being chief among them. (For those who don't speak Finn, trust me, they're pretty tame by today's standards.)

For some unknown reason that escaped the others in our army, Skunk was livid. How could we lose so easily with such superior firepower? The tyhmät päät must have cheated! He was going to exact some sort of revenge. I tried telling him we just lost and that's the way it goes sometimes. But he was beyond reasoning with.

Skunk set off to the other side of the field with the rest of the team following behind. He would later claim he only pumped his gun once, but my brother and I would both rat him out to the fellows that we both had seen him pumping the gun multiple times as he advanced on the other army's position. How many times did he pump the pump? I have no idea, but it was more than one.

The other team emerged from hiding and began rubbing it in as we approached - as we would have done had we been the victors. Without a word Skunk raised the Crosman and took bead on one of our friends, Jussi. The intended target yelled and spun around to take cover when the BB punctured the denim and skin that covered his keister.

We were all in shock as we watched a small, dark, wet spot appear and grow slowly larger on the wounded boy's left buttock. Even Skunk was mortified at what he'd done. We were all shocked and most of us were crying except for - oddly enough - the boy with the BB in his butt. He handled being shot with remarkable aplomb.

The youngest boy in our gang lost control of his bladder and he peed his pants. (nobody gave him flack for the leak - he was only 8 and, frankly, some of us struggled to keep from peeing in our drawers, too.)

Skunk tossed his gun aside and ran off, all the while crying how sorry he was. The rest of us gathered around our wounded comrade and dithered back and forth about what to do. Jussi gingerly lowered his trousers baring an expanse of pale white flesh with an ugly purplish circle the size of a nickel surrounding a BB-sized darker hole. Bright blood trickled from the wound and dripped down into his pant leg.

Someone suggested sucking out the BB like we might suck out rattlesnake venom. Even Jussi was taken aback by the suggestion and in no uncertain terms bellowed, "Ain't nobody sucking on my arse!"

I picked up Skunk's Crosman and we helped the only real casualty of what we'd come to refer to as the War of the Keweenaw hobble home to have his mom administer first aid.

-

Either Jussi's parents were brighter than we gave them credit for and didn't buy the story that their son was injured by a branch when he fell out of a tree, or Jussi just told them the truth.

Whatever the case, in short order, all of our parents were brought up to speed and that evening found my brother and me in the backyard with Dad. Our Cubs on the ground at our feet.

Without words he gestured for me to hand him my gun. I did so waited for him to slam the gun against the tree trunk. Instead, he raised his knee and bent the barrel of the gun over it like it was Play-Doh. He tossed my Cub aside and repeated the ceremony with my brother.

We waited for him to pull out his strop but it wasn't forthcoming. Even his belt stayed cinched around his waist. He just looked at us sadly and shook his head.

He hugged us both and whispered, "I'm disappointed in both of you."

We would have rather had him wear out the razor strop on our butts. That was a punishment we could understand, even if it was a painful. "Please yell at us, Dad!" I screamed in my head.

Both my brother and I were sobbing uncontrollably. The worst punishment imaginable had been handed down - Dad was disappointed in us. It was a pain we would strive hard to never feel again.

-

All of us who had participated in the War of the Keweenaw had received punishments of varying degrees. We all lost our guns, except Skunk, who, in his remorse and shame, presented it to Jussi in atonement.

My brother and I would spend the next several months trying to make Dad proud of us again. We stopped sneaking out of the house and even willingly worked on Mom's infernal chore list that seemed to keep growing, and completed everything on it that an 11 and 10 year-old could. As much as we would have liked to do so, we just weren't able to reshingle the house and garage roofs on our own, but we willingly helped Dad do the job.

Eventually, after a time, Dad returned to his normal, boisterous, and joking self and life went on and it was good.

-

I never owned another BB gun. A handful of years later I received a Remington .30-06 just in time for deer season, and I've owned multiple rifles, shotguns and pistols since then, but I've never had an 'obsession' for the guns. They are nothing more than tools that I always handle with the respect they deserve.

-

Note: A dozen or so years ago I was able to visit my old home town and reconnect with the few of my friends who still live in the area. Skunk and Jussi are still best of friends and I can still see the boy in both through the grey. Jussi grinned at me when I brought up The War of the Keweenaw, went to his basement and returned with the Crosman BB gun. He claimed it still worked perfectly.

Although I declined to do so when he offered to let me feel the bump, he asserts the BB is still lodged firmly in his buttock.

How an AMC Ensures Your Fire Protection Systems Stay Operational Year-Round

Systems for preventing fires are essential for protecting people and property. But putting sprinklers, suppression systems, and fire alarms alone is insufficient. To maintain these systems in optimal operating condition, routine maintenance is necessary. An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is useful in this situation. In order to keep fire protection systems fully functional all year long, an AMC offers organizations a methodical, expert approach to maintenance. Partnering with the best fire and safety company in Saudi Arabia ensures that businesses receive top-tier maintenance services, guaranteeing the efficiency and reliability of their fire safety systems.

The significance of an AMC for fire safety systems, its main advantages, and how it guarantees dependability and compliance for companies will all be covered in this article.

Why Fire Protection System Maintenance is Crucial

Although fire protection systems are made to work in an emergency, they may malfunction when they are most required if regular maintenance is not performed. Wear and tear, corrosion, dust buildup, and electrical issues can all affect how well they work. The repercussions can be disastrous if a sprinkler system malfunctions or a fire alarm doesn't sound.

The following are some main justifications for why fire safety system maintenance is crucial:

Assures System Reliability: Unexpected breakdowns are avoided by routine inspections.

Observance of Fire Safety Regulations: Saudi Arabian fire safety and civil defense laws must be followed by fire protection systems. Businesses can comply with these regulatory obligations with the aid of an AMC.

Prevents Expensive Repairs: By identifying problems early, routine maintenance lowers the likelihood of needing costly emergency repairs.

Safeguards People and Property: A properly maintained system guarantees a quicker reaction to fire situations, reducing any harm.

What an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) Covers

Regular inspections, testing, service, and repairs are all included in an AMC for fire safety systems. It offers a planned timetable for servicing many types of fire safety equipment, including:

Fire Alarm Systems: To guarantee correct operation, smoke detectors, heat sensors, and control panels should be tested on a regular basis.

Sprinklers, CO2 systems, FM-200, and other suppression mechanisms are inspected as part of fire suppression systems.

Fire extinguishers: Verify pressure levels, restock as necessary, and make sure they are positioned correctly.

Hydrant and Pump Systems: Making certain that hydrants and pumps are operational and have a sufficient supply of water.

Emergency Lighting and Signage: Making sure that emergency lights and exit signs work properly in the event of a power outage.

How an AMC Keeps Your Fire Protection Systems Operational

1. Preventive maintenance and routine inspections

Preventive maintenance and planned inspections of fire safety systems are guaranteed by an AMC. At prearranged intervals, certified personnel come to the site to perform performance checks, clean sensors, repair damaged parts, and inspect all components. This proactive strategy aids in identifying problems before they become significant ones.

2. Adherence to safety and legal requirements

Authorities such as the General Directorate of Civil Defense maintain Saudi Arabia's strict fire safety laws. Companies that neglect to maintain their fire safety equipment risk fines, penalties, or even closure. By working with the best fire and safety company in Saudi Arabia and adhering to the necessary maintenance standards, firms can lower their legal risks and maintain compliance with an AMC.

3. Quick Reaction and Emergency Assistance

An AMC often includes 24/7 emergency support. If a fire alarm malfunctions or a suppression system experiences issues, businesses can rely on immediate technical assistance. Quick response ensures minimal disruption and prevents potential fire hazards.

4. Expanded Equipment Duration of Life

Regular maintenance greatly increases the lifespan of fire safety equipment, which is an investment that must be made over time. In order to prevent early wear and guarantee the system runs well for years, an AMC involves prompt servicing, cleaning, and part replacements.

5. Economical Maintenance Method

Businesses may overlook routine maintenance in the absence of an AMC, which could result in expensive emergency repairs or total system breakdowns. An AMC offers fixed annual rates for servicing and inspections, making it an affordable option. Businesses can better manage their fire safety expenditures thanks to this predictable expense.

6. Thorough Reporting and Documentation

An AMC provider maintains thorough records of all fire safety system maintenance procedures, test findings, and fixes. These reports are essential for regulatory compliance, insurance claims, and audits. They benefit businesses as well.

How to Choose the Right AMC Provider

Effective fire prevention system maintenance requires choosing a trustworthy AMC supplier. Here are some important things to think about:

Verify the provider's certifications and approvals from Saudi Arabia's fire safety authorities, including Civil Defense.

Experience and Reputation: Pick a business that has a solid history of maintaining fire safety.

Service Coverage: Verify that every fire safety system installed at your establishment is covered by the AMC.

Emergency Support: For urgent maintenance requirements, choose a service that provides round-the-clock assistance.

Transparent Pricing: Be sure there are no unstated costs by being aware of the cost structure.

Conclusion

For the protection of people, property, and company operations, a well maintained fire protection system is essential. Fire alarms, sprinklers, suppression systems, and extinguishers are guaranteed to operate at their best all year long with an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC). An AMC provides organizations with cost savings, emergency help, and peace of mind by providing routine inspections and compliance checks as well as protection against fire-related hazards.

Businesses in Saudi Arabia can guarantee that their fire protection systems continue to be dependable, compliant, and prepared to operate when needed most by collaborating with a best fire safety provider for an AMC. Purchasing an AMC represents a commitment to operational excellence and safety, not merely a legal necessity.

Fire Safety AMCs and Energy Efficiency: What Property Owners Need to Know

Overview

Property owners place a high premium on fire safety since it ensures adherence to legal requirements and safeguards people and property. However, a lot of people ignore how important energy efficiency is to fire safety precautions. An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) authorized by the DCD guarantees that fire safety systems operate at their best while incorporating energy-saving techniques. This article examines the relationship between energy efficiency and fire safety AMCs and the reasons why property owners should take this into account.

The Importance of Fire Safety AMCs

A property owner and a fire and safety business enter into a service agreement known as a Fire Safety Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC). It guarantees routine inspections, maintenance, and repairs of all fire safety systems, including sprinklers, alarms, extinguishers, and emergency lights.

Among the main advantages of a Fire Safety AMC are:

Regulatory Compliance: Guarantees that fire safety rules established by agencies such as the Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) are followed.

Early Detection & Prevention: Routine maintenance aids in identifying problems before they become serious risks.

Savings: By preventing expensive emergency repairs or replacements, preventive maintenance lowers costs.

Improved Safety & Reliability: Guarantees that fire safety apparatuses operate as intended in emergency scenarios.

However, what connection does this have to energy efficiency? Let's investigate.

How Fire Safety AMCs Improve Energy Efficiency

Improved Fire Alarm Systems Cut Down on Energy Wastage

False alarms, bad wiring, or inefficient parts can cause outdated or badly maintained fire alarm systems to use excessive amounts of power. An AMC guarantees:

Low-power LED indicators and energy-efficient sensors are used in fire alarm systems.

Checks are made on battery backups to avoid needless energy loss.

Regular calibration of the systems lowers the number of false alarms that could cause needless power use.

Property owners can lower their electricity expenses and ensure safety by keeping an effective fire alarm system in place.

Energy-Efficient Emergency Lighting

Although emergency lighting is crucial for fire protection, improper maintenance can make it a hidden energy drain. Using an AMC:

Power consumption is decreased by using LED-based emergency lights rather than conventional incandescent bulbs.

Timers and sensors are examined to make sure they only run when necessary.

Emergency lights that run on batteries are kept in good condition to avoid wasting energy.

Emergency lights that receive regular maintenance operate at their best without consuming extra electricity.

Sprinkler and Suppression Systems with Smart Controls

Electrically powered pumps, sensors, and valves are frequently used in water-based fire suppression systems. These systems can do the following if they are not maintained:

use more energy as a result of ineffective pumps and blocked pipes.

Water leaks increase energy and water waste.

Fire suppression systems are examined and improved under an AMC, which lowers wasteful electricity usage. IoT-based monitoring is integrated into smart fire suppression systems, enabling automated modifications to save energy consumption while upholding safety regulations.

4. HVAC and Ventilation Integration with Fire Safety

Safety from fire AMCs also include ventilation controls and smoke extraction systems. Systems with inadequate maintenance result in:

HVAC systems are overworked, resulting in higher energy expenses.

ineffective smoke extraction, which raises electricity usage during fire incidents.

AMCs assist in balancing energy efficiency and air circulation by maintaining ventilation and smoke control systems, which lessens the burden on HVAC units.

5. Sustainable Fire Extinguishers and Green Solutions

Conventional fire extinguishers need energy-intensive refilling and contain chemicals that may be hazardous to the environment. Nowadays, a lot of AMCs use environmentally friendly fire suppression techniques like:

energy-efficient water mist systems as opposed to conventional extinguishers.

suppression using CO2 that has the least negative effects on the environment.

biodegradable, non-toxic fire control products.

Property owners can promote environmental responsibility and safety by selecting an AMC supplier that supports sustainable fire safety measures.

Financial and Environmental Benefits of Fire Safety AMCs

1. Reduced Operating Expenses

By guaranteeing that all fire safety equipment runs effectively, routine maintenance lowers energy costs and emergency repair costs.

2. Adherence to Green Building Guidelines

Nowadays, a lot of regulatory agencies push property owners to fulfill sustainability standards. Buildings that have well-maintained fire protection systems are more eligible for LEED certification and other energy efficiency requirements.

3. Longer Equipment Lifespan

An appropriately maintained fire prevention system reduces electronic waste and energy consumption associated with manufacturing since it lasts longer and needs fewer replacements.

Choosing the Right Fire Safety AMC Provider

In order to optimize fire safety and energy efficiency, property owners ought to choose an AMC supplier that:

DCD-approved AMC contracts  and strictly complies with regulations.

provides IoT-enabled alarm systems and LED emergency lights, among other energy-efficient fire protection solutions.

offers specialized maintenance programs that complement a building's energy-saving objectives.

makes use of intelligent monitoring systems to maximize smoke and fire control.

Property owners can strike a balance between cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and safety by working with a seasoned fire and safety business.

Conclusion

Property owners no longer have to worry about energy efficiency and fire safety separately. In addition to providing protection and compliance, a DCD-approved Fire Safety AMC also supports sustainable energy practices. An AMC can drastically lower power usage while upholding the highest safety standards, from smart suppression systems to energy-efficient emergency lights and enhanced fire alarms.

Purchasing an energy-efficient fire safety AMC reduces needless costs while safeguarding the environment and human life.
