“I can’t guarantee anything, but maybe I can ask our DA, Karly Fitzpatrick, to see if we can work out a deal with you We et you probation instead of prison time, especially since this is your first offense”

“She sawin and out of the inn and approached me one day She asked if I was close to Hazel and I said I didn’t know her, I was an assistant, who brought thes they needed She then asked if I could use a little extra cash to deliver so to her”

“Is Kerry going to arrest Carolyn?” Hazel asked

“If she can find her, I’m sure she will”
