“They talkin’ ‘bout giviri’ you your license back, huh?”
Gunner shrugged. “They’re talking, yeah.”
“Shit, they got to give it back! You a goddamn hero, you know that? I was tellin’ a boy over here just the other day, I know that boy, Aaron Gunner. Best goddamn private investigator you can buy, I said! I tell everybody that, man.”
“I know, Sweet. That’s why I’m here.”
Gunner pulled a fifty-dollar bill out of his wallet and stuffed it in the old man’s right hand.
“Keep up the good work,” he said.
For the next twenty minutes, Too Sweet thanked him profusely, even though Gunner had only stuck around for the first five.
