Jacob Edmund looked at his young friend. "Lulu, calm down sweet heart, to many questions at one time." Jacob whispered he took Lulu to his place and walked in bringing her to a couch "Sit." he said going to his kitchen and bringing her a cup of lemon aid. "I'm involved because I have to be Lulu." Jacob looked Lulu in the eyes "I'm not a bad man Lulu, I would never hurt those children willingly, you need to know that." he whispered softly touching Lulu's cheek. "Lulu, its me Jacob... I never hurt you nor will I, but you must keep this to yourself, I could go to jail and then you'd be out of a job." Jacob whispered "Back where you started before you met me, broke, unemployed and starving." Jacobs words were more gently spoken than anything else, he didn't want to scare the girl away, he needed her, she is what kept his business going, and he never told her that "You my dear I need you to continue doing your job and forget you saw what you saw, if Al finds out you saw then you will be in trouble, and I don't think there will be a lot I can do to protect you."
