.Ingrid protests, yet ultimately relentsu00e2 $" she understands her role to her good friend, yet sheu00e2 $ s likewise aware of the stakes, which include possible illegal fees if the authorities familiarize her prior knowledge of Marthau00e2 $ s intentions. They take a trip up, yet after that right away need to come back to The big apple when Martha displaces the pillu00e2 $" in a heart-pumping pattern they turn her condo upside-down trying to find it. (To order another unlawfully, she points out, will be much also challenging.)
