32 case of lies

. and then you galloped up fropm behnd . your responsive papers are good , and tthat worries me .nderstand , jimmy didn't do anything wrong  . you can't put up an electrified  fence around a motel with a guard gate tpo prevent robberies , especially right around the corner  from a casino district . you could just as well have sued the coops for not showing up and preventing the inciodent ."
"you don't need me to tell you the law . " nina said ," so i know i don't have to remind you that places of pulic accommodation have duties to their customers that are ompletely diffirent from the duties of the police ."
"jimmy 's a nice guy ." bety jo contuinued to talk as if bova wetre,n't there , earss cocked to take in evey word ." the motel's  all he's 's got ."
nina took  a long sip of tea ." no offense , but mr. hasnna lost everything he held dear when he lost his wife ."
"he's only suing  me because he can't fid the guy who killed his wife ," bova interruped ." i'm sorry about that woman . i heard she was pregnant . is thgat true ?"
nina nodded , watching  him touch the smooth brown skin on his forehead .
"it's a shame , you think i don't wish evry day this hadn't happened ? but i'm not responsible ."
"you have a proposal ? nina said  , on firm ground with him at last . " do you want to settle this case and have peace of mind ?
because i'm sure betty jo has told you , we can do that . we can settle with you and keep looking for killer ."
"we can come up with something ." betty jo said before he could respond ," but i'm afraid your client won't want to take  what's on offer , because er're the only money around , and he thinks we should pay for everything ."
"surely the motel's liability insurance covers this situation nina said .
