Gray's nearly pleading posture is what made David pretty satisfied. He spoke up, "Whether you get to be the good guy is up to the court, our Internal Revenue Service only cares about collecting taxes. Pay the taxes you owe, leave the documents with us in the IRS archive, and we'll call it even!"
Upon hearing this, Gray, who had been in a state of despair, instantly brightened up and agreed hastily, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll pay the taxes, and leaving the documents in your archive is doable!"
Bucky immediately stepped up, spread the archiving form in front of Gray, and explained, "Deputy Mayor Gray, please fill in your occupation and income details here..."
About ten minutes later.
Gray signed his name at the end of the form, and Bucky picked it up to have a careful look. After confirming there were no problems, he nodded at David to signal all was in order.
David spoke up, "You may leave now, Deputy Mayor Gray, but make sure to send the taxes you owe as soon as possible!"
