Congrats!” DaMarko said with enthusiasm. “Oh, and you look great in your Agent uniform.” “Uh-huh, that’s right, thanks! And already, we have a special mission together,” Jolene replied as she high-fived DaMarko. LaMesha came forward with confusion painted on her face. “A special mission? Mayor, what …
https://rosemadi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12-3-1.mov “LaMesha! DaMarko! How are you guys?” Jolene said as she came racing towards them.
