Untied

It's not everyday that you find yourself working in a store owned by the Mafia.....but this is what happens when you do find yourself working in a pet store owned by the Mafia.
George: SARNIC!!!
Me: Yaah??
George: Did you untie Gunnerson!?
Me: Yes.
George: Why in the blazes did you do that? ...
Me: *eyes narrow and George takes a step back* How else was I supposed to be sure that I'd rescued all the snakes from his clothes?
George: *throws up his hands* Great! Now we have to go hunt him down again.
Me: You don't have to look that hard.
George: What do you mean?
Me: *shrugs* He's behind the fish tanks asleep. I told him as long as he didn't run I'd make sure the guys didn't bring the snakes near him.
George: O_O oh.....
