❛ i have alerted every official from here to maryland to keep an eye out for a car matching the description, and i'm meeting with the suspect's sister and best friend for high school in the morning. right now, my computer is running that face recognition mcgee installed, ❜ she says, pointing one of her chopsticks in his direction.
