-You went rogue, Tanner.
And now you want me to do what?
-With all due respect, sir,
everyone knows
what's happening
at the Maritime Inn.
It's spilling out

I couldn't just drive by

a better reason.

-No, sir.
I'm just asking that we pool
our resources, okay?
You know
there are strong ties

Why aren't you bothering
Command at KwaDungezwa?

You know they're understaffed.
They've given me
