And all of a sudden police getting called. So, my first instinct, sorry you guys, but last time I I felt like I wasn't even doing much either and I got it off my chest, so >> That's what I'm trying to figure >> the 72 hours now. That's not my fear like right now. My fear is more that somebody called and I don't know why because like okay, like I don't know why they called. They said that who knows what. >> We were told there was an argument inside the apartment. Okay. >> Right, that's my worry more versus the 72 hour part. That part I only came here now because that's past. >> It's the 19th of 2. Uh put your feet back in the car. I'm going to close the door real quick, okay? All right, sit tight for a minute. You can hang out with her for a second. I'm going to go talk to her real quick here and make sure he's good. That's all right. Well, they don't really do 72 hours. That's more of like a a term. It's not really 72 hours anymore. Usually it's like till further order of the court or something like that, so >> Well, so why did they tell us 72 hours? >> Well, that's what I'm going to try to find out right now. I'll see if it is.

You get You got her name real quick, though? >> Nobody asked you to do anything, so it's >> have any more. >> No, just chill chill out for 1 second. >> Is it petty? Yes, but a judge says I have to do it, and that's above me. That's above him. >> 10-4, thank you. >> Judge's final decision. That's how our country runs, whether we all like it or not. >> Yeah. >> Here's your thing to consider, too, okay? So, these apartments, they they signed this whole the crime-free housing agreement, okay? So, your landlords can kick you guys out if we keep coming back for >> Yeah, and we are also pretty worried about that, too. >> You know what I'm saying? So, I'm not trying to rub salt in the wound, but something's got to get figured out, okay? Do you have any questions for us? >> No, I'm not going to argue with you. I'm with you. Um If you feel the need to, otherwise >> probably should. Just so you get inside and make sure everything's cool, all right? >> All right. >> After finding her hiding inside the closet, officers questioned her about the incident before eventually allowing her to return to the apartment. >> Saw that door open, I went down there. >> She thought she was going to >> She might have been earlier in the day, but you know, she claims she wasn't. >> Okay. >> Well, not the big man of people you think you are. >> Hey man, do me a favor.

Oops, squeezy. >> You were the one that called? >> Yeah, I called. >> Yeah. >> You guys can fight for now. >> Yeah, totally. >> I always get blamed for everything he does. I'm tired of it. >> But if you're not with him, you can't get blamed, right? >> Right. >> And I think that's the solution, but it's all on you. >> I'm saying, "Hey, you don't want to agree with me on anything, let me go." That's problem, too. And it's like he just won't just stop. Like there has to be a point where you just stop and give up. Like no matter what you're mad about, just >> Like the other officer said, he it's really the alcohol. Like it's things that like that. >> That's what I tell him.

So, he could come, yeah. >> Can you call him and ask him how long it'll be for him to get here? >> Probably an hour or so. All right, you guys just make a phone call. Call grandpa and tell him to come over, basically. That's assuming I'm assuming that's what you guys want, right? >> Yeah. >> Now, what about me?
