"but aunt sarah is dea d and those people have got to take some responsibility for that ! " chelsi cried . she shook her head her expression pained ." i don't think i told you enough about her . she was so great . did you know she coached the girls 'basketball team at the high school here ? there were easily a hundred kids at her funeral ."
"crying ." roger freeman added .
"i understand ," nina said ." no amount of monewy can compemsate your family for losing her . but you have to remember the motel wasn't directly responsible . it was negligent at best . in other words , the motel legally won't have to bear the full burden of compensating you for your loss ."
"if the clerk had been at the office watching out like she was supposed to , she could hasve callled 911 !" chelsi argued .
"i agree ." nina said .
roger said .maybe bova had somethin to do with the shooting . maybe the clerk did . maybe the clerk had A friend who picked the motel because she'd conveniently go next door . we don't know anything yet ."
"we're investigating ," nina said ." but we're starting so late . we're in a risky position . the judge may dismiss the casse against the motel on tuesday ."
"how much did you say ?" dave hanna said .
"fifty thousand . each side oays its own attorney 's fee ."
"how much would you get ?"
"i'll add up my actual time and my investigator's time . a coule thousand dollars .i'd guess , would be the amount ."
"that's verry decent ." roger said . chelsi nodded .
"the directly involved in the shooting in the some way and we find that out , i believe we can sue them again on a diffirent legal thory . this settlement would not release them from any direct involvement , only from negligent involvement ," nina said .
