“Mattie Williams’ garage is the place that sells the tires! Now, are you interested?”
“Am I? Why, we stopped there with Salt Sommers!”
“We did indeed. Remember the big truck?”
“Lou, you may have stumbled into something really important!”
“Glad you think so, chum. But you’re not interested in Black Markets.”
