Aghh. The raven haired Welshman thought. Not another wallet. Kiltey (the Welsh man) was a short, stout man from Wales. He was a professional rock climber, but he was a “assistant manager helper” in the Park service. That meant he climbed down and up the chalky cliffs of Wales to collect all the hodgepodge things that fell down. Most of the time the object’s were wallets and bracelets. He climbed into the beaten, dented, Jeep that was his uncle’s.

An intercom on his dashboard crackled. “Wallet lost on Death’s point.”  Kiltey uncliped his walkie-talkie and said, On it.” He drove over to the situation. Some fat, pompous man was arguing with a park ranger. The Ranger, Will was trying to calm the man down, but the man would not listen.” I got five bills in there, me do you hear me!? I got 5000 pounds in that wallet!” The man was screaming to Will. “I got it,” said Kiltey. “Thanks,” said the ranger. The man seemed to notice Kiltey arrival. “And who is this munchkin? Will?.” The man said sneeringly, reading off the park ranger’s name tag. “He’s the guy who’s going to get your dumb wallet,” Will said shortly. While they were arguing, the Welshman secured his ropes to a flagpole and rappled down Death’s point.

A brief history lesson about Death’s point. It is treacherous chalky limestone that crumbles at the slightest touch. It goes down for 50 feet, and then there is some slight ledges in the rock. A after couple feet down then there is some shallow water with jagged rocks.

Kiltey got 30 feet down and then he began to slip when he saw the wallet. The man fell off a couple feet and grabbed onto outhanging branch. Kiltey climbed down to the ledges and scooped up the wallet. He flipped it open and looked at the ID. It read John White. Under job it read the Ministry of Defense. He looked down in the pocket. There was only 30 pounds 28 pence in the pocket. The man sucked in his breath. Kiltey felt sucker punched. That feeling change to anger he was going to climb up there and berate that guy about how lying could ruin your life. Kiltey smiled then and wondered how he could get back up.
