Over the next
couple of days, Jordan worked on her idea, the idea certain to help Lilly out financially during the street fair. To make it happen, she placed a few calls to Carla Vargas and subsequently met with Murphy who promised he’d make it happen. She ended up bringing a cynical Lilly on board less than twenty-four hours before the street fair.
