"I was just being kind for your sake," Drake stated. "If they were not your friends, I would have kicked them out long ago." Unhappy about her challenge, Drake turned to leave.
Debra quickly stopped him. "Take it easy. I was just kidding. I'm sorry, okay?" "It's too late. Apology unaccepted," Drake scoffed, shaking off her hand.

"That doesn't concern me," Debra blurted out of eagerness for the list.

"No need." Drake cut her off. "It concerns my family and l'IChave Kale e handle II I find out anything, maybe I'll tell you. Just stay out of it."
"Well," Debra paused, "investigation takes a lot of brain work. I'm afraid..." N
Drake glared at her. "Are you going to say I can't handle it or even mess it up?"
