I can charge whatever I want for my services. Law of supply and demand. I have the supply, and I demand a reasonable compensation. Since my supplier out of Chicago apparently isn't going to be sending me anything else, I have to make the most of what I got."Officer Beeman takes Francisco aside a moment and speaks in hushed tones, "Look, he is overcharging you big time, but as much as that pisses me off, I really don't have jurisdiction to do anything like this. I can't declare martial law or a price-freeze or anything like that. I'm just an interstate highway patrolman. I'll back you up however I can, but I can't force him to charge you less. Maybe one of your people can talk him down. I'd try to help negotiate, but truth be told I don't have the patience for that sort of thing and I'd probably end up decking the guy. Just do what you have to do to get the parts."When the outside men approach looking for transportation, it seems to spark some new hope into the circumstances. Michael appears to have money. A man with medical experience could be of great help to the injured back at the vehicle. And a man with food and water is definitely a boon in these circumstances.When Michael offers to pay the man cash however, he is taken aback. The man wants enough money to buy a brand new semi-truck! All Francisco is asking for is parts to rebuild the electrical systems. It would be all the money Michael has "earned" in the hopes of freeing his biological father from prison. It's a high price to pay.</blockquote>
