"You aren't alone. I would like to set my business on fire." It was degrading really, but at least he wasn't someone's janitor, granted, that could come next and he would just roll over and die.
"God I hope that man is still in the ground." Guy might have worked for the Sheriff, but it wasn't out of loyalty that he stayed, it was because his gizzard was on the line every day. If he didn't do what that shit stain wanted, he'd end up dead---and behold it happened anyway. The Sheriff could rot.
