they just wanted me to go along with or
whatever I used to live here down the
street I know do they live with you no
okay okay where no I've been friends
with them for years years okay and they
know I'm gble it's not okay that's fine
so what time did they pick you up like
within the last hour or something like
that where did you guys go um here
dodworth from River Falls is this the
only place you stopped at no we stopped
somewhere um on the gas station holiday
so you guys went to Holiday yeah okay so
so you guys stopped at
holiday what you stay in the car did you
get there was some guy um I don't even I
don't know Joel or something like that
what about Joel was at the gas station
oh you guys know him oh did you guys
meet him there or something um he was
there already so they were supposed to
meet them or something I I don't know um
how long you guys were there 10 minutes
or something like that okay so then you
guys
came um yes that we so you guys didn't
do no business at holiday you just met
with Joel um I don't know probably one
of them went inside I think okay but you
didn't you just stayed in the car no I
stayed in the car all right so then you
guys came down here why' you guys come
down here um I had to put money on so we
could do the car rental again and then
cuz and then um get a brush and then
where where were you guys going to go I
was going to go back home and they're
using your car to put the for the rental
car yeah did you is the car in your name
or theirs it's in your name okay when
didd you get the car um two days ago and
then there there're supposed to be

who'd you rent it through enterprise
Enterprise and and they're listed as
drivers um I don't even know I or You if
I can I've been sick for like I
shouldn't went to the doctor byday cuz
it's been I'm not well do you got the
paperwork for um it should be in the car
probably otherwise otherwise I have it
on in email and oh yeah just popped that
up that'd be
great not even valid to be
driving okay you're valid yes I
am I just haven't I don't feel good so I
don't I'd rather be sleep in the back
seat all right your story makes sense to
me okay and so now I just want to make
sure I'm glad it is cuz I'm not now I
just want to make sure it's we're all on
the same page with them when you're in
the backseat which one handed it to you
I'm not saying that's illegal they could
have handed you a monopoly bill that you
know I mean that's probably wouldn't
even known that all right so which one
which one handed it to you I don't um
because I I just wanted to lay down in
the freaking back so okay why did they
want to give you money I guess because
we're all renting the car together like
we're just having a girls weekend all
when did you find out that it's not real
when the freaking lady said um it's not
real and they went on the phone
okay all right we tried to call her who
was that we tried to call her who's her
Melissa okay well who gave her the money
some dude I don't know what his name was
no one of you guys gave it to her no we
didn't come here Melissa she just sit in
the back seat one of you guys handed her
the $100 bill is that no one handed her
the $100 bill she just told me why so I
didn't say anybody did I said I was
laying down in the back seat and the
[ __ ] whatever yeah cuz I don't
[ __ ] know I'm sick and I said every
need to leave me Al no she said she sit
in the back seat here and you guys just
handed her the money at at the Holiday I
don't know what she she'll sit in the
back seat of the car correct Melissa
were you sitting in the back seat of I
was sitting in the back seat and that's
a b did she just wait did she go into
holiday no okay so she stayed sitting in
the backseat of this car yeah okay she
was handed correct me wrong you were
handed you were handed a $100 bill why
don't you just tell my CH gave you that
$100 bill you were you were sitting in
the back seat of this car and someone
handed you a $100 bill I so so who's
been in the front seat of this car I've
been right here she went in to get
cigarettes that's all we got at holiday
and she's trying to protect the dude
that gave her the money no she said that
she's in this car and you guys you guys
handed her $100 bill anyone anything
what
happened like I said I've been sick for
several days and I'm like I understand
that okay neither one you
guys understand that it's a violation
it's a violation of her rental agreement
yeah she you guys
but anyways what store were we at cuz
you know I just want to make sure we're
on the same store here so Melissa just
be straight up with me here now did you
lie to me I didn't lie to you I don't
know who the gave me the money why are
you going to tell blame it on us when no
I didn't blame it I didn't [ __ ] say I
I don't know who I'm half you didn't
tell me that I said I was half asleep in
the back seat and you were handed it to
you that's a Buton I didn't know what
hand it to me well there's only two
people in this car who else has been in
this car Melissa Shane Shane's been in
the car when was Shane into this car
earlier when was
earlier U you told me that when they
came down here they handed you the $100
bill to go in there to run into CH said
holiday you just said holiday she said
you guys came from holiday you guys came
from the gas station up there correct
did you guys go up to that gas station
yes I bought cigarettes up there yep and
then you guys came down here to put
money on her card to for the rental car
is that correct I went in and used the
bathroom down here okay she had money
where did she get the money from I don't
know okay so she's saying that you came
down here and someone from the front
seat handed her a $100 bill and she went
in there to put on again I went in a
store twice I was out of the car none of
that even makes sense cuz you said how
first you said down here said H I got
out of the car both times but no one
else got in Shane was in the car earlier
Shane was in the car earlier she got
$100 everybody knows that Shane had
these $800 bills did you guys meet
somebody up at the gas station no okay
met somebody out the gas station what
now what what what oh my God and I also
said let let me write it down sign it
and everything I don't feel good at all
like I'm I've been saying that for the
last couple days I didn't even want to
leave turning points cuz I'm sick I
don't feel good I'm sound mind did you
say a Joel yep okay so Joel did you guys
meet Joe up at the gas station no do you
guys remember when I had to go to the
emergency room and fell the out that's
like how
you know what the best thing you can do
is tell them about chain okay about $100
bills and then I don't know what else
just be quiet are these are these bills
that Joel or Shane has are they
counterfeit or what no they're Chinese
bills that were made they don't even
look they're not even counterfeit
absolutely not they're Chinese bills
that you get them all right and Shane
gave her one of these bills he's he gave
everybody tons of people those bills why
I are they I mean are they just play or
you got that bill then look at it look
at the color of it like this yes so
Shane gave this to everybody I mean
however many he had he was giving them
in town when was this earlier dude but
listen like earlier today I don't know
what how many he gave yesterday or the
day before or the day before that okay
but everybody knows Shane got him he
gave him to a couple people but look at
it okay was Shane around us today and
was Shane around us earlier like what's
earlier and where was this where was
this at I'm not look I didn't go in
there and pass any $100 bill I didn't
give her any $100 bill I don't know all
I know is that she should have never
went in there and nobody should have
ever okay Melissa says you guys I don't
care what Melissa says well this is
Melissa right yes I don't so Melissa
says that she was at she was at turning
point you guys came picked her up you
guys came straight to Ellsworth you
saying that's not true I'm saying I am

trying to put words in my mou no I'm
saying Melissa's
words I've been telling you from square

to leave my house I don't feel good I
need to rest why isn't it play money
