“Serenity, I got your conversation with them on tape,” Jasmine said. “I‘ll send the voice recording to you

Serenity gave her best friend the thumbs up. The Hunts got her so riled up that it slipped her mind to
record on her phone.
“Shawn, aren‘t you going to work?” After sending the voice recording to her best friend , Jasmine
