Lazarus and Mr Tucker page 2 by ric gustafson


Lloyd pushed the button for line 1. " Good morning Police Chief Littler". He fidgeted in his chair. " Were you able to find out anything?".
" Mr Tucker, I checked with the City Attorney". He sighed. " He said the old man can stay as long as he doesn't bother anybody".
" He bothers me Chief". He glanced toward the window. " He wears tattered rags and is covered with sores".
" Mr Tucker, have there been any official complaints against him?".
" No". He frowned. " But I have seen dogs come up and lick at his sores".
" Mr Tucker, I know you don't want him there".  The voice hesitated. " But outside of your security gate is city property".
" So as long as he doesn't bother anybody". He frowned. " He can stay".
" That's correct Mr Tucker".
" Thank you Chief Littler".
Lloyd loudly hung up the phone.
