Hannah chuckled.
"I prefer to see it as acting bravely this time.
Instead of a bravery medal, I get a scolding from you, Officer Stevenson?" Alfredo laughed.
"I didn't mean it like that.
Don't go complaining to Bryson about me.

Making deals with the devil is no joke.
"I know the risks, Officer Stevenson, but sometimes you have to take the bad with the good in business," Hannah said thoughtfully.
With a sudden burst of laughter, she teased Officer Stevenson, "Even now, you can't help but lectureon the law, Officer Stevenson?" He chuckled in response.
"Hey, it's in our job description.
" Hannah took a deep breath, shaking her head at his persistence.
