Carly was frantic. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came home, and something

"Ms. Hampton, how do we know you're telling the truth? You promised to give us

Carly said, "I will give you more money, just not right now. Alright, stop making a

fuss. It's already dark. My dad should be asleep. I'll head over now."

"Alright, Ms. Hampton. Let's hope you actually show up this time."

"How's the old lady and the kid?"
