Sutton

An Irish brown squirrel who is, according to Gary Heart, "a greedy fuck-wit."
Sutton is ambushed by Gary and Gates late one night and taken to an undisclosed location. Once he awakens, Gary interrogates him about the location of the weapons cache. At first he (badly) feigns innocence, but Gary explains the history of the cache and how it had been managed by its caretaker for many decades until said caretaker passed away from cancer and his "fat, idiot son" found the weapons and tried to sell them on the dark web. This caught the attention of Mr. Reed, who tried to buy the entire cache, but the son for what reason turned him down, a response Mr. Reed will not accept.
When Sutton tries to look tough, Gary counters with his admission that he doesn't care about what Mr. Reed wants, he wants Sutton to resist in order to justify his poor impulses. Sutton (fearfully) calls him out, and Gary responds by dousing him in petrol. Sutton starts truly freaking out when Gary gets a match lit and finally agrees to tell the location of the cache. Gary has poor impulse control, however, and drops the match anyway.
However, nothing happens. Bewildered, Gary sniffs his petrol can and realises it actually contains diesel. He yells at Gates, who says he knows. Gates's reasoning is he would've been the one to have to deal with Sutton's burnt husk, something he would rather have avoided, especially if Sutton is lying. Mr. Reed verifies the information quickly and leaves the handling of Sutton up to Gary and Gates. Gary has calmed down by then, so he leaves Sutton to his devices.
