East

Then why are you texting if you can’t tell us what you saw?

Wade

Because I needed to tell someone.

Kipp

Is it a crime?

Wade

Technically, it's a misdemeanor. All I can say is that it involves Carl Pruett, a riding lawnmower, and a situation that is both completely legal on his property and completely unhinged.

Kipp

Was he on the road?

Wade

He was adjacent to the road.

East

What was he doing?

Wade

I cannot say.

Chloe

Was he dressed?

Wade

That is the detail I cannot confirm or deny.

I’d have to bleach my brain if I saw that. Aren’t the police supposed to be protecting us? You should do something about that.

Wade

He has been spoken to. He is aware that his yard is visible from the road. That's all I'm saying.

Kipp

I drive that road every morning.

Wade

I know.

Kipp

I drove it this morning.

Wade
