Half-Way There Post

As the time passes and technology becomes more advanced both the bad guys and the good guys have access to it so it doesn't benefit the sheriffs. This is what the character's thoughts are in the beginning of chapter 3. He then goes on to describe the execution of a man that had committed murder. He is still concerned over the change in the amount of dangerous and immoral crimes in his region and talk about how the previous Sheriffs hadn't even carried firearms. He also talks about the job of a sheriff and the power that he holds as the man that enforces and has to somewhat make the laws. I'm starting now to suspect that the man who's thoughts are in the beginning of the chapters is Lamar. The next part of the chapter is Moss saying good bye to his wife. After that it goes to Sheriff Bell being interrupted by a phone call right before he was going to eat dinner. A car fire was reported and when he arrives there, it is the car, a 77 ford, that Chigurh had taken from the deputy that was burning. The next day, Bell and Wendell, who is also called Winston, search around the burnt ford and upon examination of the tire tracks, start looking to the east of the car. They find Moss' truck and wonder if he's dead but doubt suspicion of him being part of the drug deal. Thye continue searching and find the rest of the vehicles and dead men and reason that there was an incident involving Mexican drug dealers and missing money. Next it follows Chigurh trying to find Moss. Chigurh searches Moss' trailer and takes some mail but decides to go to the office and ask where Llewelyn is and after he couldn't get an answer he tried dialing the numbers of phone calls that Moss had made according to the phone bill that he had taken. He called two numbers one of which he got an answer but never got any information on Moss' whereabouts except that he had been in Sanderson. The other place that he had called was in Del Rio and that was where the next section is, as it follows Moss'. Moss stays in a motel called the trail motel first hiding his money and his gun. The next day he goes to the town and gets supplies and upon returning he believes someone is in or has been in his room. So he books a room at the Ramada and gets more supplies, one of which was a shotgun and returns to his room. He fashions his shotgun into a sawed-off with a pistol grip then went and got some clothes.
