Yes, he said. I busted him and he busted me. That's fair, ain't it?

The boy was still silent, calmly incredulous.

No, Sylder went on, I ain't forgettin about jail. You think because he arrested me that throws it off again I reckon? I don't. It's his job. It's what he gets paid for. To arrest people that break the law. And I didn't jest break the law, I made a livin at it.
