The Shepherd: Border Patrol Page #4

---

tomorrow night at the civic center.

-You should stop by.

-Thank you.

Hero like you can make

all the difference in an election.

Sort of story the newspapers love.

He can help me convince the voters

Columbus is getting safer.

With crime up 25 percent?

So who are they gonna believe,

the numbers or the hero?

-I'm.... I'm having a re-election gala....

-And what is this?

-Got it today from our friend.

-you should stop by.

Thank you.

Who is this guy?

Why isn't he on our payroll?

Well, he turned us down.

Capped two of our boys.

Not a typical border-patrol agent,

if you ask me.

Keep an eye on him.

Tell me everything you find out.

you are now connected

to the SA T-phone link.

Be advised

that we have received your report...

...and will be in touch with you.

It's all set

to expedite the new shipments.

-Transmission completed.

-Data received.

-Hey, how you doing?

-How are you?

I...

...wanna offer my apologies

for the other day.

Please.

Accepted.

-Can I pet your bunny?

-No.

I'm glad to see that you boys

are getting along now.

Mr. Jack,

I saw you on the news last night.

A hero in our bar.

Okay, then, sweetie, you can have

whatever you want. You just name it.

A cheeseburger and a Coke, please.

Coming right up.

That's about right. Yeah. No.

Go on, drink it up.

It's on the house, cowboy. Enjoy.

Thank you.

I sure hope you're not

one of those angry drunks.

I don't drink,

but if I don't get my caffeine....

So you never get trigger-happy

on Bourbon Street?

No, ma'am.

Spare me the ''yes, ma'am,''

''no, ma'am'' crap.

Yes, sir.

How we doing?

-Came out to just over 3 tons, sir.

-Oh, that's good.

Real good.

Did you know...

...I was once

an illegal immigrant myself?

When I was 3...

...my father decided

he was done working in dusty fields...

...that never grew anything.

And when he finally came

to get me and my mother...

...he was shot and killed.

I'm sorry.

How did you get in?

I'm just f***ing with you.

My father is a patent attorney

in El Paso.

He's a yuppie.

So why the story?

I like to remember,

when we're patrolling the border...

...that we're all travelers

in this world.

And but for the grace of God,

we could be in their shoes.

So, what about you, chilito?

And what's the deal with this rabbit?

He's smaller than a dog

and cuter than a rat.

Smart-ass.

For a minute,

I thought you were going to be nice.

You sleeping all right?

-Yeah.

-Don't bullshit me.

Okay, no.

What keeps you going?

The rabbit.

-That's it. I am walk--

-What are you doing?

-I am walking you home. Come on.

-Nobody walks here.

-Everybody takes their truck.

-We're walking.

Well, don't get any funny ideas.
