“Those steaks smell good,” Kevin says, grabbing a beer.  He hands it to Henry, and takes one for himself.  “If you’re a chef, Rose’s Kitchen is in need of once since her last chef won a hundred grand from the lottery and moved to Florida.  She’s got a punk working for her now, but she still has to do double-duty since he’s not that good.  I could talk to her for you and put in a good word.”

“Thanks, that would be great,” Henry says, retrieving a metal spatula.  “I do a lot of business online, like selling stuff on eBay and such.  I make a decent living, but honest to Pete the costs are so high down in the Cities, I had to move.  How long have you been up here?”

“A little over five years.  I really wanted to be in the FBI, but needed a job in the meantime.  So, I applied and got a job as a city cop.  What brought you all the way up here to Charity?  Why not someplace bigger like Bemidji or Thief River Falls?”
