voice raised Lowerji! She's been bailed out by her drug-dealing ex-boyfriend! That son of a bitch has connections everywhere. We need to find a way to keep her behind bars where she belongs!
They’ll probably get probation. Let’s talk about Melinda later. Are you alright?
grits teeth, his hands clenching into fists Alright, we need to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and follow every lead until we pin Melinda with the consequences of her actions.
Does your ex have any connections on the inside?
snaps his fingers You bet your ass she does! That slimy ex-boyfriend of hers works in the court system, probably bribed the right people.
Do you want me to go check with the judge?
slams his fist on the table, his face turning crimson Yes, damn it! We need to find out exactly how much of a crook this ex-boyfriend is and cut him off at the knees!
Alright. Shine would leave the room.
