“No,” the Captain laughed, “not the station. Just to a shack we have for a hangout. We eat there sometimes. Like to eat?”
“Do I? Try me!” The young giant grinned at his captors broadly.
“We will.”
“Have much luck minding everybody’s business?” the Captain asked as they paused for a red light.
“Not much,” the big boy chuckled, “but what’s a fellow to do? No one would let me work for him, so I went to work for everybody.”
“Did yourself a good turn once anyway,” said the Captain.
“How’s that?”
The Captain reminded him of his adventure with Beth Van Loon.
“That,” the big boy chuckled, “was funny.”
“It might not have been. That fellow might have put his knife through your heart.”
