“Think I need to If he’s as nervous about o to the Devlins in a panic He’ll want reassurance from them”

Jeff nodded “I’ll get you a car In other business, Kell Suot off the phone He’s a councilman, and he does the events around here The Winter Carnival is in teeks, and the theme of the parade is Disney Kell wants you to dress up as Mr Incredible”

Not sure he’d heard right, Michael didn’t respond
