17d It looks like relapse ( fall back) but I can't parse it yet.

29a looks like EAT (put away) with 'Gun' being a 4 letter word minus the first letter (first shot) but I'm not sure what the word is - Heat or Beat, maybe.

29a Think it could be SAT (sort of meaning put - `I was sat/put on the floor`)

`S` = south = a `way`
gun = gat leaving AT after the `g` is shot

I hate the short ones!

I've just checked Chambers and "A firearm" is the seventeenth and last definition of "Heat".
