“No problem at all!” Tom replied, giving them a wide grin. “Just doing my job!”

Tom raised his hands in protest. “Nah, I won’t. I was just helping you people out; you don’t need to pay me.” He flashed a smile as he rejected the cash. “Besides, it’s all in a day’s work for me!”

The men hesitated, glancing at each other before one of them shrugged. “Suit yourself,” he said, pocketing the cash with a nod. “Just glad you were here, man.”
