198 The Part

Kyle, Sam and Agent Oreo followed Chad towards a trailer that was parked nearby. They were ushered into the air-conditioned unit and sat at the end, which had a corner sofa and a rectangular table.

"First, I'd like to apologize again for ... well, for everything," Chad began again and Kyle's respect for him grew. A man who was willing to admit his mistakes and apologize was one that Kyle always held in high admiration. Chad apologized - twice, and was sincere about it.

"It's the same for me," Kyle countered. If Chad could be magnanimous, so could he, "I can rub off people the wrong way."

Chad smiled at that but didn't say anything else. He knew Kyle hadn't done anything but was merely giving Chad some leeway. Chad's respect for Kyle grew at that point. He had been impressed before, but now, it was borne out of real respect.
