Wysdom Ward
I have some good news and some interesting news. Which would y’all like first?
Donald Atwell
Good news.
Wysdom Ward
Good news is, they’re getting some alone time in the holding cell.
June Atwell
What’s the bad news?
Wysdom Ward
I said it was “interesting,” not bad.

Wysdom Ward
Warren said they were getting married tomorrow.
Donald Atwell
WTF?
June Atwell
A wedding?
Uma Maddux
Mazel Tov.
Bolt Jarrett

Gail Keck
I don’t believe this was part of the plan.
Chloe Jarrett
It never is, but we roll with it, right?

Uma Maddux
No, this is good. Tell us what happened.
Wysdom Ward
I went to arrest her as we had planned, but Warren went all caveman on me and said I couldn’t arrest her because they were getting married at the courthouse tomorrow.
Strick
He has to know that would only work for so long, right?
Wysdom Ward
There are legal hurdles to getting married in Florida. No quickies - weddings, that is.
June Atwell
Which he would know.
Donald Atwell
If he suggested this, he must have a plan.
Wysdom Ward
He looked unhinged. I don’t think he planned it.
June Atwell
He didn’t have a plan then, but he likely has one now. He’s an officer of the court. He can’t lie under oath, right?
Wysdom Ward
Correct.
June Atwell
Hear me out - what if we played Courthouse Chicken with him?
Wysdom Ward
Not sure what you have in mind but I 100% approve of the name.

Gail Keck
Courthouse chicken?
June Atwell
We call his bluff. But we will need someone who can hack into the county records.
Wysdom Ward
*GIF of Elle Woods saying, “What? Like it’s hard?”*
I thought you had a challenge for me. I know the perfect pocket-sized hacker.
Just tell me what you need.
