Jarriel must work for, or at last get paid by, the escort service for transporting escorts. This is why he has records, so he'll get paid properly.
Tammy knew his number, because she called him the night of the party to ask him if he was Crystal's driver.
I think Crystal had another gig the night of the party. I think the 12:26 call was about that, and Tammy was trying to find a driver for Precious whenshe called Jarriel.

DA race unlikely to require runoff

DURHAM -- Voters need not worry that the verbal contortions, mayhem and acrimony of Durham's district attorney campaign might continue beyond Tuesday.
A margin of only one vote could decide the race and end an election contest that, largely because of controversy surrounding the Duke lacrosse rape case, has been like no other in memory.
Except in the unlikely event of a tie, there is no chance a runoff might prolong the virulent campaign.
A 40-percent rule that applied to the May primary has no effect on Tuesday's general election. The rule requires a runoff when any given candidate doesn't pull at least 40 percent of the primary vote.
The choices facing voters on Tuesday are current district attorney Mike Nifong, a 27-year veteran prosecutor who has received widespread criticism over his handling of the lacrosse case; County Commissioner Lewis Cheek, who has said he would not serve if elected; and local Republican Party Chairman Steve Monks, who is running on an unaffiliated write-in basis.
If Cheek won, the governor would appoint someone to serve in his place.
Under other circumstances, the contest for district attorney would likely have been over in May, when Nifong beat out challengers Freda Black and Keith Bishop in the Democratic primary.
But dissatisfaction over Nifong's handling of the lacrosse rape case sparked the last-minute candidacies of Cheek and Monks. In fact, the Cheek campaign is officially billed as a "recall-Nifong" effort.
If a tie occurred on Tuesday, there would first be a recount of votes, according to Durham elections director Mike Ashe.
If the recount still showed a tie and more than 5,000 ballots had been cast, another election would be held, Ashe said Friday.
But if fewer than 5,000 voters participated in a tied election, the contest would be decided by lot, Ashe said.
"It might be done by drawing a short straw, drawing a card or something like that," Ashe said. "I'm not sure exactly what we would do. That would be probably a one-in-a-zillion possibility. It's never happened."
As the heated district attorney campaign entered its final days last week, Monks blasted Cheek as a "spoiler" in the contest and emphasized what he called the foolhardiness of allowing the governor to select Durham's chief prosecutor.
"I reject the caretaker mentality of letting someone else, in this instance the lame-duck governor, decide who will be our district attorney," Monks said Friday. "Giving the power to the governor to again appoint our DA solves none of our problems and reinforces the perception of incompetence in Durham."
For his part, Cheek has urged voters to follow their consciences, while insisting he did not believe a write-in candidate could win the election.
In another last-minute twist on Friday, former Assistant District Attorney Freda Black threw her support behind Cheek and asked those who voted for her in the May primary to do the same.
Black was a senior prosecutor in Durham for more than a decade, but was asked to leave when Nifong received a gubernatorial appointment as district attorney last year. The reasons were not made public.
