You had been convinced by Curleys wife to come to the farm to live with her. You didn't exactly have anyone at home, so why not come live with her to give her company? So you did. You moved to Califorina as you walked onto the farm to go find her.

after a few days, she became sick. Not lethality sick, she just had a small cold. You couldn't find a medkit in the house so you decided to go to the shed to go borrow one from the workers. Hopefully they weren't too perverted with a single woman
