Joanna Lawrence: "..."
"Annie Lawrence, I'll say it again, I didn't secretly record anything. Do you plan to let me leave or not?" Joanna was getting frustrated.
Annie held out her hand, demonstrating no intention of making way: "You may leave, but only after I see you delete the recording with my own eyes."
"Are you insane?" Joanna exploded, "I've told you that I didn't record anything. Are you deaf?"
"Then allow me to check your phone. If you persistently deny surreptitiously recording, you shouldn't have a problem with me inspecting your phone, right?"
Initially, Annie genuinely believed that Joanna had secretly recorded their conversation.
But, she knew Joanna well.
If Joanna denied it, then she probably hadn't recorded anything.
Still, she insisted on checking Joanna's phone because it occurred to her that Joanna's phone likely contained Frank Parker's contact information.
