“ no clue. that’s part of the job. ya sit around and wait for the news. especially when ya get a juicy lead like this. ” another long sip was given as her eyes remained glued on the jewelry store. “ can turn on the radio if you want. just not too loud. ”

“ just my theory but, yes. no one’s been able to get an interview with him. guys been pretty illusive. whoever gets that interview is going to be front page news. ” the brunette parked. a block away from the jewelry store as she sipped her coffee. watching.
