If they give you a bond, >> what is that? >> A bond is >> like >> um a certain amount you have to pay in order to get out of jail until you have to go to court. >> Okay. It shouldn't be that much if you don't have any criminal history. Call your friend, have them bond you out, and then wait to go to court. >> Okay. >> Sure. But >> and then as as far as the >> Listen, I can wear I I mean, I'm I'm just as thinking, >> right? >> Maybe this guy didn't his name is Carlos. I'm just doing my uh thinking, >> right? >> I'm just be honest. I do the work. There was some stuff weird cuz he says that if he's going to pay me, he we have to come here. He he picked me up in my house, >> right? >> So when it seems like something is wrong, >> something is wrong. >> Yeah, I I understand that. But the what what the reason what I say yes to come is because he say that if I didn't have like a contract with him so I can do whatever I he said like this you can do whatever you want but no one is going to care because you you me and you didn't sign uh any contract. So if you need the money and you want the money and you want to to want me to pay to you, you have to come with me to my the to the location that I say cuz >> that's the only thing I know. I I promise >> you have to have a word with this gentleman when you get out. >> I can't help you. >> He's going to need to pay you >> what he owes you. >> Oh, it's in motion. 183,000 37 north to make you Silver. >> Rob, do you want me to put him in your car? >> You want me to put him in your car or wait?

I don't want to be stuck here. >> Still marking flight. >> Um, sir. >> Yep. Um you have an idea how much is um for the payment the the payment in J the um you see if if everything is not that bad I can pay the >> oh bond >> normally I I know that every case is different >> right >> but normally >> so say it's like a $1,000 bond you would pay $100 to get out Okay. >> It's 10% of the bond. >> Okay. >> So, I don't know if they still do bonds or not. Depends. But since you have no history, then it's not going to be a substantial bond. >> And it's going to be here or >> you're going to go to the main jail in West Palm. >> Okay. >> So, it's about 40 minutes from here. >> Okay. >> 35 minutes near the airport. >> Okay. And um when when I get there, can I call my friend? Yes. >> Yes. >> Once they book you in, you'll get a chance to use the phone. You have to make a collect call. >> Thank you.
