Any word about Leigh, Kenz?
Kakatapos ko lang tawagan ang tropa, Fin.
They haven't heard from her, too.
Damn it. I'm really worried about her.
Baka kung napaano na talaga siya.
I already told you to stop thinking that way! Pati tuloy ako, kung anu-ano na ang iniisip. Kaloka naman kasi itong si Everleigh!
Tara na ba sa condo niya?
Yeah, let's check. Dadaanan na lang kita.
I'll be there in a short while.
Okay. Magpapaalam lang din muna ako sa asawa ko. Drive carefully, Fin!

Hi, Fin. This is Genie. It'll probably be morning already when you read this, but I figured it's best to let you know ASAP. Leigh's in the hospital.
She was found unconscious in a dark alley not far off from the diner where she and her friends met a few hours before. Hindi pa namin alam kung paano siya napadpad doon. Her car remained at the parking space beside the diner, which only adds to our puzzlement.
The attending physician said she doesn't appear to be in any immediate danger, but she's got a few scratches in her arms. And we're still waiting for her to wake up. We think she's been drugged to sleep.
Anyway, sasabihan kita kaagad kapag nagising na siya. I'm also sending the name and address of the hospital after this, para alam mo kung saan dadalaw sakaling abutin kami ng kinabukasan dito. I'm sure my sister would want to see you more than anyone else, once she's awake.
