Jug:meet me and tallboy by the wyrm
I got up and walked out of the room and to the wyrm
"Sup boys" I said jug looked at me then tallboy and started talking again
"What if we bust him out of jail before he gets transferred to state?" jug asked "its totally doable the sheriff station had worse security then riverdale high and wince he's out its just a straight shot right up sweet water river until the Canadian border"
"You've seen escapes from Alcatraz o few too many times kid your dad need a snake-handler someone whose livelihood depends on snakes who used to deal with 'em I got someone you should meet"tallboy said jug nodded his head "penny Peabody"
"No not her" I whispered to myself
We walked to the shop tallboy told us to go to
"Jake were here for penny Peabody"I said make him nodded to the back of the shop we walked threw some beads
"Forgive the office space but I'm a firm believer in low overhead plus i like being close to my clients"penny said
"Your clients being the serpents?" jug asked
"Well I was and still am a serpent they put me through collage law school" penny said showing us her tattoo
"Right the serpents are often on the other side of the law so having one of their own on retainer helping out is clever" jug said
"Well fp always bragged that you were smart oh yeah I know your dad and I also know from our uh mutual friends the deal he's been offered its garbage" penny said
"Can you help?" jug asked
"I know the loopholes in this case there are none but if you get the victims family to forgive him in front of the judge they might shift things in fps favor instead of 20 years he can get time served with parole" penny said
"Oh that's great" jug said
"Yeah" penny said
"Thank you uh am I supposed to pay you or?" jug asked
"Were friends I do you a favor one day you and fp's girl do me a favor let me know how it goes will you?" she asked her and jug shook hands "tell your dad to wear a tie"
