John had to go to the check out counter to pay for it and have it wrapped. I told him that I would go to the hardware department and try and find the right size hooks that we needed for the truck. I told him to meet me there and he agreed. I found the hooks in a matter of seconds and looked about for John. He wasn't anywhere to be seen. I went up one aisle, down the next, no luck.
