“Anyway,” The man said, “I guess I should be getting back to work.”
“Work? You work?”

I just drink it up. I’ve been transferred in and out of departments all over the country, though, cause no one likes being with me. I agitate the people, you know? I swear, ever since that Rodney King incident...”
“I could see that.”
