Lucy hoped to make Jock realize Mr. Hog's transformation, but to Jock, it sounded like she was telling a story full of magical elements.
However, she concealed the specific details about the Standin ability.
Firstly, Hog had courteously agreed to meet her at a cafe and even arrived early to wait for her.
Then he gladly accepted her invitation to visit the hospital together.
Even more preposterous was that, faced with an armed criminal, he disregarded his personal safety and saved her life.
Do you think I've only known Hog Foster since yesterday?
Jock felt his intelligence was being insulted. From the first day he knew Hog, the man had never been someone who would consider the lives of the "Common People" important. If he really encountered an armed criminal, the only thing he would do is pull the nearby Lucy over to act as a human shield.
Using the lives of "Common People" to ensure he wasn't grazed by a bullet was quite a profitable deal for Hog.
