Phoebe is in deep sleep in her Queen sized mattress, after a long night of bar tending and a day of consuming cup after cup of coffee she deserves some rest. Someone is knocking on her front door but Phoebe isn't waking up. The knocking continues for a good minute and then stops. Phoebe's front door opens.

"Phoebe wake up" a feminine voice calls.

The door closes and Shannon walks in. "Hey Phoebe, I brought you breakfast. It's your favorite; a croissant with cream cheese and your usual trenta Caffè Americano" Shannon calls out as she walking to Phoebe's room. Shannon is standing right next to Phoebe's bed, pondering on how to wake her up.

"Ooh I got it" Shannon says as she puts the coffee right under Phoebe's nose.

"C'mon Phoebe, smell the coffee" Shannon says moving the coffee cup under Phoebe's nose.

Phoebe eyes start to open, "Who's there?" Phoebe mumbles as she's still sleepy.

"It's me Shannon. Come on Phoebe get up. There's some interesting stuff going on in the office" Shannon says trying to bribe Phoebe into waking up.

Rules to waking up Phoebe: you do not touch Phoebe, you do not talk to Phoebe in a loud tone, and you do not ask Phoebe if she had a good rest because Phoebe's answer will always be no. If you break the following rules you will end up with a bruise of some sort.

"Give me 30 minutes Shannon" Phoebe says as she gets up from her comfy bed.

"Here's your breakfast waiting for you" Shannon puts her croissant and coffee on her desk.

"Thank you" Phoebe says as she walks sluggishly to her bathroom that's connected to her room to take a shower.

"Hey who's Anonymous1? And why did he send you pictures of you at 'The Cameo'?" Shannon asks Phoebe as she sits at Phoebe's desk.

"Wait? He sent more stuff?" Phoebe asks in her tired voice.

"Yeah but they look like they were taken from security camera footage. This guy is creepy" Shannon says as she looks through Phoebe's messages.

"It's Martha's murderer, I'm 100% positive" Phoebe calls out from her bathroom.

"What are you doing talking to a murderer? I'm sending screenshots to Victor, let's have him figure this out" Shannon says as she proceeds to send the images of the messages and pictures sent to Phoebe to Victor's email.

After 25 minutes Phoebe gets out of the bathroom with barely any makeup on and walks into her room to look for an outfit but notices there are clothes on her bed.

"Why are there clothes sprawled out on my bed?" Phoebe questions Shannon.

"Oh I picked that out for you, isn't it cute?" Shannon says looking at Phoebe, who is looking at the outfit in disbelief.

Shannon picked out a solid mint green transparent blouse with a white tank top to go underneath, light washed jeans, and a pair of nude flats.

"Do you like it?" Shannon asks Phoebe who can't stop looking at the outfit. She's staring at the outfit as if someone just offended her great-grandmother.

"That's so out of my comfort zone Shannon and you know that" Phoebe whines.

"But you need to come out of your comfort zone, look I even picked out your jewelry" Shannon says showing her a delicate necklace that has an infinity sign.

"I don't own an infinity necklace, I actually hate infinity signs" Phoebe says staring at the necklace.

"Why?" Shannon questions.
