My suggestion right now is that you go back to the hotel room. I don't know what transpired. I don't know what happened. But whatever you guys did I mean apparently you did, ma'am, because We We don't just get called for no reason. You were aware, okay? So, listen. We don't get called for no reason. I wasn't aware. If they're alleging that you stole something, why would you like take off running from the place? That's not a normal reaction, okay? Normal reaction is you tell me, "Hey, I'm not stealing. Call the cops if you want." You wait for the cops. You don't take off running when you're confronted about stealing cash. Well, you Okay, you walked away, ma'am. We're not going to argue semantics with you. You walked away. Yeah, because I was scared and it was insulting. That That doesn't make sense. Any person that I know if you accuse them of stealing and they didn't do it, they get pissed off. What's your phone number, ma'am? 646 646 3 17 17 17 All right, I'm going to head over there real quick. You good here? Yeah, yeah. And what about your mother? What's her phone number? Any minute now.
