Yeah, I was going to take care of my son in a different way. Okay. Okay. I wanted her to be able to do what she wanted. I thought I'd go first. I was 11 years older than she was.

She had serious conflict with her mother and her brother. And when both of them, the brother died first and the mother died a couple of years later. I virtually insisted to go to the funeral. I thought that was a respectful thing to do.

Candidly, I think she was afraid they would all come asking for money. Really?

We went through an area, I could describe my familiarity with it, but we went through an area I thought that was particularly dangerous. At night, I'd seen police vehicles there. It's a route I take from my office to her office. And I see police vehicles there with the blue lights on, and they're doing things with the vehicle that are there. Are there landmarks or anything? It was an underpass.

It was very dark, but it seemed to me it was, and that's one that has a particularly high population. at least in the daytime. But at night, there were a lot of people there. And I quickly said, this is a big mistake, and we're in a place that we don't belong. And of course, here we are in an almost new SUV and two women in the front seat.
