Lazarus and Mr Tucker page 2 by ric gustafson
Lloyd pushed the button for line 1. " Good morning Police Chief Littler". His voice hesitated. " Were you able to find out anything based on what we discussed?".
" Mr Tucker" replied the voice on the phone. " I checked with City Attorney Boysen".
" And what did he say?".
" The old man can stay as long as he doesn't bother anybody".
" He bothers me Chief Littler". Lloyd sighed. " He wears tattered rags for clothes and he is covered by sores".
" Mr Tucker, seriously does he bother anybody?".
" No, I have had no complaints".
" What bothers you about him?".
" For one thing, dogs come up and lick his sores".
" Mr Tucker, it is obvious you don't want him there".
" That is correct Chief Littler".
" According to city law, outside of your security gate is city property".
" So as long as he's not bothering anybody, he can stay there".
" That is correct Mr Tucker".
" Thank you Chief Littler".
Lloyd loudly hung up the phone.
