the badge to Yulissa.I’ll take it back from her once I return to Avenport, then give it back to Winnie.He then changed the topic. “I recall I was already intentionally putting distance between us then. How did you lose that badge in my car? Could it be…” Xavier trailed off, letting out a chuckle.“You were the one who stole my car that night?
