"Arlene reached to take both of Hope's hands. "Remember when Dad welcomed you to the family and said you were home now?" Uh, yes. Sure I do..." Hope, ...e meant every word he said — literally. He welcomed you home. You're one of us now — family — in every sense of the word. You have the right to anything that our family has — well, other than my husband," she corrected with a grin."But..." Oh come on. You're Jennie's sister. We've known each other all our lives, and you like my Dad, don't you?". Give her a call now. I'm sure she has to get up early for school."I called and got her machine. I left a message asking her to call me if she heard it before I left for school."So, did you get her?" No, I got the machine again." She's probably in the shower or eating breakfast or something." Maybe she just doesn't want to talk to me."The doorbell rang a few minutes before it was time to leave. I opened it to see Chris standing on the porch. He looked nervous."Hey. Chris. Mary and I will be. "It's too late for that, Solo. You may have been a good smuggler, but now you're bantha fodder." Look, Jabba, I..." Han stammered."Take him away!" Jabba bellowed. He had Han in his clutches and he was not willing to give Solo a chance to talk his way out of it this time. He had already made that mistake once before, over three years ago in a docking bay at Mos Eisley."Jabba, I'll pay you triple. You're throwing away a fortune here. Don't be a fool!" Han babbled as two guards grabbed his arms. I couldn't believe I'dactually said it, and clearly she couldn't either, but I was tryinghard to stay calm. Here's where it was going to go my way or allbreak down."You want...what? Are you serious? That's disgusting, Mark!" Sheput up a good show of being indignant, but I could tell underneath shewas still mostly scared about Dad. Perfect."Okay," I said, and started to leave the room again. "No problem.I'll just wait for Dad then." No!" She yelled, and ran to shut the door before I could.
