「The next day, at 10:00 AM, in Tridell Prison.」
"Miss Warren, I think you should just leave."
This was the second time the guard had told her that this morning. She pulled another thousand bucks from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand. "I'm not leaving until I see him today. Please, you have to make him see me."
The guard was about to refuse, but a glance down told him it was a hefty sum. Feigning reluctance, he stuffed the money into his pocket. "Fine, I'll go try to convince him one more time. But if Mr. Lockwood still refuses to see you, I'm washing my hands of this."
"He will. He'll definitely come see me. Tell him that if he doesn't, I'll walk out of here and get myself run over by a car!"
Her words clearly stunned the guard. He stared at Jasmine Warren as if she were a psychiatric patient. He muttered to himself, 'No wonder Mr. Lockwood refuses to see this woman. She's clearly a lunatic.'
