Montag killed Beatty because he was going to be arrested for having books, because Montag was through with Beatty pushing him around all of the time and forcing him to burn down his own house, before Beatty was killed, he was making fun of Montag and trying to get Montag anry at Beatty (almost as if Beatty wanted to be killed), and because Beatty was going to have Faber killed. All of this enraged Guy Montag, and all of the emotion he was feeling finally burst through as he burnt Beatty, killing him.
Montag has to keep his book hidden for as long as the society remains oppressive and controlling. Keeping the book symbolizes his defiance against the oppressive regime and his quest for knowledge and freedom.
He is afraid of Beatty and the power he holds over him. Montag is afraid Beatty will be able to "sense" something. If he lets something slip (says the wrong thing) he will make Beatty suspicious.
well, they were trying to hide it. But eventually declared it.
Captain Beatty has not been punished because he is the captain responsible for keeping the other firemen on their feet so they won't question. Throughout the book he quotes lines from famous books and then tells the men that it's useless. He does this to show his authority and so that the men look up to him without question. Beatty tells the firemen that books are depressing which is why they must burn them to keep society "happy". When one of them does question, Beatty goes to Montag's house and goes on and on about why books should be burned, again showing his authority and intelligence so that Montag accepts his views towards books. Beatty must know books to explain their "unimportance" and "wickedness" to the men. If it weren't for him, the men would go off and read books and the society would be "chaotic". We don't want that now, do we? We aren't sure, but Beatty may not be so contemt with the books. It could be his job that causes him to speak about books that way. It is argued that his death was suicide when he kept urging Montag to kill him by saying, "You won't really do it. Put the gun down," or something along those lines. Perhaps he was as unhappy as Montag and he was sick and tired of the whole thing. Perhaps he knew Montag had the courage to kill him, and that was really what he wanted rather than living the rest of his life unhappy and criticizing books.

Montag was hiding books in 2 instances from his wife. The first instance was near the beginning after they burned the woman. He hid the books in the air vents. The second time was when Beatty came over to talk. He hid it in his pillow and Mildred wanted to fluff the pillow. References: Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, New York: Ballantine Books, 1953
This is perfectly normal. They are trying to hide the gerbil from you and to keep them warm. Maybe leaving them alone would help.

Most of the time when spiders are dropping on you, it means that there is to many if them and they can't hide anymore where they are, if it continues I would have someone come check it out.
In "Fahrenheit 451," the air conditioning vent is described as a hidden compartment where Montag hides books. It serves as a secret place where Montag can keep forbidden literature safe from the oppressive society that bans books.
