A few days after Gerald Randolph’s call to Rick, he received a phone call  from his former manager with the Baltimore Clippers, Bill Falstaf, who wanted to check in with Rick to see how he was feeling and how well his recovery was going.

Bill Falstaf was not a happy camper with what had occurred. Rick said to him, “yes my dad said that the 2 of you had spoken to one another and he told me that there were things that had created some concern and a lot of it has to do with the group of people Alicia had taken up with and were a part of the riot and resulting damage at the American Oasis Casino Hotel”.

Bill Falstaf’s reply was, “yes, very so, and I want to advise you not to contact her in any way, she is damaged goods and is very fortunate that the judge handed down a lenient jail sentence to Alicia and her accomplices”. 

Rick then told Bill Falstaf, “Martin Karre, Alicia’s legal representative called me a few days after the verdict was handed down and he questioned the verdict, but he thought that attaching an ankle monitor and a year of not being allowed to venture out of her parent’s house was a bit too much.”

Bill Falstaf, kind of making a snorting sound said, “she’s very lucky that the judge did not sentence her to several years in prison for the escapade that she pulled off. Her parents petitioning the judge for her to serve the rest of her term at their house saved her butt from being sent to a longer jail term or even prison and when she is finally allowed to leave the house and finished with her parole without violating it, Alicia may never be able to resume her singing career, but her parents, Fred and Carolyn Reynolds, they are professional marketing experts, so only they may be able to help her resurrect her career, if they can not, then nobody can.” then Rick said to Bill, “well, let me go, we will talk again later”.

Rick turned his phone off and put it down. He said to himself, “well, she certainly got herself in enough trouble, maybe my ex in-laws will be able to work their magic with her. Only thing is if they can not, then her singing career is over”. And with that Rick went outside for a walk on this beautiful spring day in April.
