nobody with me there was nobody with you
so you left the child here all by
yourself by itself while you went in
there and played in the Arcane yeah it

matter exactly you went in there to play
an arcade game you said you've been here
since 11:30 did you actually go to Bank
of America yes I did okay you went to
Bank of America God I yeah I got the
receipt love let me
so you you you withdrew $320 at 1208
hours right how long as to drive from
back of America to here it's maybe a 5
minutes right oh they close that off
okay so 10 minutes doesn't matter right
10 15 minutes 10 okay so at
12:08 you got back here at
1220 okay and what time it is
now it is 1:46 all right so I got here
I'll look at the time so the baby's been
in there for over an
hour you get what I'm saying probably

yall going to do so this is what's
probably going to happen all right you

up the child my mom is at work right now
I can have her come get her get her okay
so look this is what's going to happen
for right now all right let me be
