Missing Chapter 1

Mack liked his life, nice and simple the only worries he had was were his next meal and drink came from oh of course his little heinz 57 mutt Zoey. They made a great team, Mack panhandled for food and Zoey gave him companionship and a warm body on those cold Idaho nights..

It wasn't always like this Mack was from Texas, entering the Army at 17 in 1967, doing two tours in Vietnam, getting wounded, medal of honor, purple heart, what all the good that did for him now..

After he left the Army he took his last dollar and bought a ticket on a Greyhound bus and came to Idaho to see the place his best friend was from and to talk to his parents, to tell them their son died a hero saving his life. They just looked at him like it was his fault and he just walked out..

Well he just never left Idaho after that.. Working here and there, but no one wanted to hire ex-vet's during the hippie era, to them he was a baby killer and this made him want to just check out of civilization.

So he and zoey decided to go find him and make sure he wasn't on another bender, last time he went on one he ended up in the hospital.

Mack  turned into the alley at Idaho and 9th, looking around to make sure no one was watching him.. He pulled up the steel doors that use to be coal chute doors back in the day,, grabbing zoey he slid down the chute into the basement..

Looked like no one had been there for years but he knew better, it was a main entry into the subterranean tunnels that were under Old Boise running to the river and Garden City.

There were other ways in but this way was close to wear Billy sleeps and he didn't want to be there anymore then it took to find him.

Looking around he made his way to an old rusted steel door set into the far wall.

Unlatching the door he pulled it open on well oiled hinges. Moving inside he lit a torch that was always there ..

Pulling the door closed behind him he felt the cold drift in. Shivering a little he picked up Zoey and pulled his coat up around his neck trying to keep out the humidity of the dank tunnels,, Zoey whined,
