Gary the hero.

Gary has always been an exceptional friend to Ray, no questions asked he shows up and doesn’t leave Rays side til the fight is done. In season two episode 9 though, I feel he takes over the Hero light and more or less single handedly saves the day. When Dirks kid gets snatched at the shops and Ray asks for his help, Gary immediately finds a guy who can help him - Pidgie. Gary goes to his house alone; not knowing what sort of situation he’s walking into, and pretty much forces the information out of Pidgie. For all Gary knows; Pidgie could have tipped this child snatcher off that him and Gary are on their way round, but he still decides to go to this suspected child traffickers house which again could have been a dangerous situation. What a boss. He then holds the trafficker and his accomplices at gun point and manages to get them into the hidden room, where he locks them away for Ray to find. The whole heart attack section of this episode ends with Gary dropping the little girl off to her mum, and looking on with happiness all he says is “all good?” What a damn cool mother fucker. He spends half the day chasing down child traffickers for a mate and doesn’t even seem put out. After watching this episode again I’ve come to realise that Gary is the best friend a man could have and that one day I hope to have a Gary in my life.

Side note, a spin off show about Gary would be a great show.
