Stella hands a glass of lemonade to Susan and rushes back into the kitchen to fix her breakfast, "So you have no questions about last night?" Susan jiggles her head a few times and walks up to the kitchen after Stella.

"I am barely hanging right now, and the part where you mention Eric's name is not my concern or anything that happened last night." Stella places the plate with one piece of bread on the shelf. "That was for me, but you can take it. Look around if you find anything useful You, just take it, don't trouble for it." Stella raises her hands to tie a ponytail but carrying Susan was never easy. "Oh, so you are nagging me for dating your Ex longer than you. Huh." Susan chuckles and throws the plate on the floor.

"Ah. Good. Again. Snap out of it. Because, the unpaid MORTGAGE of this apartment, the credit card debt you and MY Ex, or maybe your secret boyfriend since day one he met me, has left, is enough for me." Stella yells her heart out in one breath and crosses the hall, takes her jacket from the back of the chair, and walks toward the door but stems near the kitchen entrance and peeks at Susan, "And you know what is cherry on top? Those people from last night from that weird Casino or Heaven. God knows if they follow us or not. But, if they do, we are both dead."

Stella walks to the door in a rush, But someone knocks from the other side sooner. Stella looks via the peephole. It appears to be someone from last night but who? Stella thinks for a few seconds and recalls it's the Guy from the bar area.

Susan peers from the kitchen and questions, " Who is it? Eric then let me get the door OH, Wait, let me fix my hair."

"No, Susan. It's a guy from that Heaven." Stella mutters in a soft voice and steps away from the door without yielding a sound.

"Heaven?"Susan makes a questioned face and walks near to Stella's shoulder.

"Yeah, I remember him, It's the barkeep." Stella sticks herself hard on the floor and keeps looking at the door as it once again gets knocked by the other side.

"Barkeep?" Susan whispers near Stella's ear.

"Yes," Stella nodes looking straight at the door.

"Stella, Stella,.." Susan repeats her name sedately, which rattles Stella, and she shouts, "What now? Susan.."

"There is no bar in that, Casino,...." On hearing that, Stella turns sanctifyingly toward Susan. "There was a proper bar, A man was drinking there, and the barkeep, that same person was there. I wasn't drunk like you."

"Fuck you, stop it. I have been in and out many times. There is only one bar for the owner only." Are you sure it's the same guy?

"Yes, it is. Why would the owner come? For 5000 dollars?"

"I can kill someone for this much..." Susan whispers near the back of Stella's shoulder, which makes Stella shudder in agitation.

They both listen to the door knock again. "You go and open the door. Okay. Stay Calm. Wait," Susan says and steers toward the kitchen, takes a pan out, and hands it to Stella. "Fight okay."

"Wait, where are you going?" Stella asks and holds the pan as a shield.

"Under the bed until you finish." Susan being Susan runs toward the bedroom, fleeing as she always does.
