"Wassup, Amy? What's going on?" Mayte asked, worriedly.

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Crystal asked too.

"I watched one of the tapes today." I picked up the tape off the table. "This one shows the face of Vanity aka my mother!"

"Your mother? Vanity is your mother?" Mayte exclaimed.

"Hush, Mayte!"

"Wait, hold on. How do you know for sure that she's your mother?" Crystal questioned.

"She said my father's name, his full name. And she mentioned a baby. A girl."

Mayte gasped, "This is unbelievable."

"I can't believe I figured out who my mother is. All on my own."

Mayte held my hand in comfort, "Are you okay?"

"I don't know."

"What was on the tape?" Crystal asked.

"She was running away from someone. She was in the woods, pregnant with me."

"I'm so sorry, Amy." Mayte cooed.

"I-I think it was Prince that was chasing after her."

"Did you see his face?" Mayte asked.

"No, I only saw a figure. I mean she was naked running in the woods with only a fur coat on. She had bruises on her face."

"Can we watch it?" Crystal asked.

"Crystal!" Mayte scolded. "That is her mother!"

"Hey! I thought we were running an investigation?We have to watch the tape in order to solve it." Crystal defended.

"No, it's okay. Y'all can watch it."

I stood up from the table & walked to the front counter.

"Excuse me? Can we use your VCR player?" I asked the manager, who was counting the cash drawer.

"Uh sure, but only for five minutes. I don't want the supervisor on my ass." The manager said.

"Thank you."

The manager lead us to the office. He closed the door behind him, leaving us alone. I put the tape in & pressed play. As the tape played, Mayte & Crystal faces dropped. They had the same exact reaction I had. The tape finally finished. I took it out.

"Oh my god. Is she dead?" Crystal said.

"Obviously, bitch!" Mayte cursed.

"I don't know what to do now. This case is getting darker & darker. I don't know if I want to continue it."

"Hey! This is your mother. You deserve to now what happened to her. You found out that Prince is your father. Now it's time for your mother." Mayte said.

"Besides, we haven't investigate the three dead women yet. They deserve justice. Mayte is right, you do have the right to know." Crystal agreed.
