Weapons, gasoline, I dunno. Whatever he an' the others find out there that they wanna bring in once they got it all ready. It's just safer to keep it there for now, I bet, not too many cops out that way who give a shit about the crazies, an' there's a lot of desert to hide in.

[But he shrugs. Stuff he can ask Alex about later, especially since he'll do anything he can to help and he's sure it's all well thought out.]

You know, we got stash houses in the city, I bet all that stuff will make its way in to one eventually. Just not great to have it all sittin' around until everything's ready 'cause the cops are always lookin' for our shit an' if they find it all before we get to use it, it's a lotta wasted effort.

[And some major prison time for anyone posted who might get caught. That's true enough anyway on a normal bust, but a house full of weapons? The cops are probably going to look at that differently than they would a house full of drugs and stolen things to flip.

Anyway, he gives Chrissy an easy smile and squeezes her close around the waist.]

I dunno what I expected, calling Dale. I guess part of me was afraid he wouldn't believe it was me on the phone. Glad I didn't get him while he was fuckin' high, that mighta been an even weirder conversation.
