"In fact, if there is any requisitions that you might need for your office," continues Cade. "That'd help things work better overall, then add it to the list and I'll sign off on it."
After the barest pause, Cade finishes by saying, "I wouldn't wanna lose this little girl, period, but especially because some bureaucrat didn't give you, or us, the resources needed. We're all on the same team here, regardless of borders."
