... business owners so the police can line their own pockets. They make it rough on us if we don't contribute, but I suppose it's just a cost of doing business." "I just came back to say goodbye." "I understand." She reached into a bag and handed me an eagle coin, ten dollars gold. "I can't take this," I protested. "Yes you can. It's your bonus. Everyone got a bonus, even Joe. Your bonus is a bit larger because it was your idea. And when that awful policeman comes back around asking about you, I'll just tell him I don't know a thing." He won't be back around.
