Harrison’s head started to pound at Susan’s loud crying. The nerves at his temple bulged with discomfort. “Alright, stop crying already. They’ve already handed out your sentence, so what else can I do? Just put up with it; it’s only ten more days.”

“Ten days,” Susan repeated listlessly. When she saw Jasmine, she perked up slightly and asked, “What about Jas? You can’t save me, but you can help Jas, right? At least try to reduce her sentence by a few years.”

“It’s hopeless. Natalie hasn’t agreed to falsify her testimony.” Jasmine lifted her head, her eyes narrowing into fearsome slits. “But it’s ok if she doesn’t want to give false testimony. I’ll just have to make sure she can’t attend the hearing.”

Harrison and Susan looked at each other when they heard her words. Then they both turned to look at Jasmine. “Jas, what are you going to do?”

After hearing her plan, shock flashed through Harrison’s eyes. He soon steeled his nerves and nodded. “Alright, I’ll get it done.”
