Chapter 154: Recognition (Long Chapter)_2

Before leaving, he also paid Tom a two-hundred-US-dollar tip.

Of course, this was a one-time deal; next time, Luke could sail the yacht out to sea by himself.

Lou stored his sea catch in an ice-filled box and moved it into the trunk of his car.

Luke closed the trunk, "Buddy, time to head home."

Tom didn't respond.

Luke sighed, "I'm giving you a chance, invite me for a drink at the bar."

Tom said instinctively, "Why should I be the one inviting you?"

"Okay, then let's each head home."

"Wait, let's go for a drink," Tom added. "My treat."

While driving to the bar, Luke casually asked, "Got something on your mind?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"You've been unusually silent all day, and I'm not used to it."

Tom raised an eyebrow, "I thought you didn't like my ramblings?"

"I never said I didn't like them." Luke shook his head. Investigating could be dull and sometimes rather depressing; listening to Tom's ramblings could to some extent lighten the atmosphere.
