Luckily, Biff got out on bail just in time to save Andy. After I'd broken into his apartment the night before, Chuck wasn't messing around with little doses anymore. The pizza he sent over that day would have killed a rhino. Chuck obviously
wanted to get rid of me as fast as possible. He didn't mind taking Andy out with me.
I had to let her watch the video Kendall took about ten times before she'd accept that Chuck really was a bad guy. She was pretty bummed out about it for a while, but she recovered. Now she's representing a poor grieving widowâi.e., Shannondoahâin her negligence case against the big bad university.
And as for me? I did get an A on my project.
We celebrated with an extra-large Hawaiian-Greek special. Shannondoah and Biff were the guests of honor.
