I didn’t bring up potential leniency for Brian because I want Mr Dolan to like me It’s important because I knoould kill Jaime if her brother went to jail While I certainly don’t see uy that makes him likable, she has a lifetime of experiences with him that I don’t I know she loves him with all her heart

I also sa regretful he was after she was kidnapped, and he had no qual to have money when he knew he could have easily been shot He put his life on the line for her, so I’d like some efforts made so the appropriate people knohat he did and can perhaps cut him a break

I decline, oodbyes, then head tofor a shower, but I sense so me When I turn, I see it’s Mr Dolan

“Sure,” I reply, nodding down the hall I certainly can’t say “no” to hio toe to toe with hiht down here”
