"Glad to hear you say that," Tim responded, shifting a little to relax back against the wall, legs now stretched out in front of him. "I'm thinking of doing a little cleaning up, in the house part at least. I mean everything around here needs cleaned at this point, so just add it to the list."
Tim didn't know what to think of the situation on Phillips Drive. He did not have the relationship experience to even be able to imagine how Malcolm would feel having to watch Raylan walk next door some nights. He'd been living with the reverse for a few weeks, but all this wasn't new to him.
What was new was the itch between his shoulder blades to make a discreet retreat under the cover of darkness and out the side of the house not facing 1306. It might require some second story work but Tim was already plotting which windows would give him the safest exit routes.
Retreating to the safety of the high ground was second nature to both his sniper and scout training. The fact that he was thinking in terms of defensibility made him wince in the dark.

"Any chance my scope is still around?"
