How about something like the following, as a third paragraph of dialogue right after those above.

"I was actually kind of surprised when the cops caught up with me. I'd already hidden the gun, since I didn't want Manny getting ahold of it by accident, and it took them a couple days, but still. They took swabs of my hands and confiscated some of my clothes. I had to take time off work and hire a lawyer. Just more money I didn't have, and a debt I'm still paying off. But they didn't find the gun, and they couldn't keep me. I didn't go back for it until Manny's birthday. That's the first time I thought I might need it again."
