Sorry

Officer Luke looked at his office desk and smacked his head whispering, “Not again! Ok, look girls, I know you feel guilty about putting Tony and Michael in jail but, they’re the guilty ones! They did things they weren’t supposed to do so now they have pay for it. Sorry.” Officer Luke explained quite clearly. But Amy HAD to try again!
“Well, can I bail them out?” Amy asked refusely.
“Sorry, you can’t because one, this is serious and they HAVE to stay in jail for 5 years. And two, even if they didn’t have to stay you or your family wouldn’t be able to pay for it. It’s a HUGE fine!” said the annoyed Officer Luke.
Amy turned to her parents expecting them to say something relevant to her side of the situation.
” I’m sorry sweetie, that’s just the way it is. You know the saying, ‘You did the crime, you do the time.’ And your friend got badly hurt by Tony and Michael. You don’t want to put that at risk again do you?” explained Amy’s mom.
“No.” Amy said sadly.
“Right. Sorry.” said her mom. And they left.
