"Jamie said you suggested he work as a sketch artist. Thank you for that, I appreciate it."
Victor waved his hand around. "No worries, we could always use more. He's a great guy." Again, he avoided saying 'kid' just in time. "If he drops my name he'll be in no problem. They're very pleased with me at the moment." He turned to Kat and said, "when I walked back in, the uniformed officers stood and clapped. It was a little bit horrible."
