" job, but only after I told them I would make a sign saying Security Camera Installed and put it up in the front office. Even though we didn’t have a security camera, people could think we had a camera. Billy Bob, one of the weeklies, came into the front office.

I told him about Mr. Yao and how he rejected all my ideas because they were too expensive. Billy Bob sighed. “I’m sorry to hear that,” he said. “But you know what? Come here, let me show you something.” I followed him out to the parking lot. The two of us stood in front of Billy Bob’s old blue station wagon. "
