Misty flashed a quick smile, trying to lighten the mood. "Well, aren't we a bunch of Gloomy Gusses?"
Shauna and Taissa were already there, their faces pale and drawn. Misty strode in, placing her bag full of cleaning supplies on the table with a loud thud. She looked around, her eyes landing on the blanket-covered shape in the center of the room.
"Who died?" she asked with a chuckle, her attempt at humor falling flat. No one laughed; the tension only seemed to grow.
Misty, repeated in a more serious tone, "No, but seriously. Who is this guy?"
She bent down, her hands moving with practiced efficiency as she pulled back the blanket. The sight of Adam's lifeless face greeted her, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Shauna turned to Misty, her expression a mix of disbelief and frustration. "Misty? Really? This is your big brainstorm?" She pointed at Misty, her voice tinged with exasperation.
Misty straightened up, her face flushing with defensiveness. "I think what you mean to say is, 'Hi, Misty. It's so great to see you after all this time. Thanks for swinging by and helping us cover up a murder.'"
Natalie, who had been standing off to the side, stepped forward, her voice firm. "Do you have a better idea? Plus ,she isn't the only one I called."
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Shauna and Taissa exchanged glances, clearly reluctant to open it. Natalie, with no hesitation, opened it a bit so the others couldn't see the figure.
The others couldn't hear exactly what they were talking about, but it was clear from the muffled voices and sharp gestures that it was an argument. After a few moments, the argument seemed to come to an abrupt end, and Natalie pushed the door open to reveal Evelyn, who wore a forced smile.
Shauna and Taissa shared a look of surprise, both shocked to see Evelyn there and even more stunned that Natalie had called her.
Evelyn walked in, her gaze immediately landing on the body. Natalie stepped forward to give her the rundown. "That's Adam. He was the one blackmailing us. Shauna found out and decided to confront him in his apartment, but—"
Evelyn interrupted, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Shauna. "How did you know where he lived?"
Shauna's face flushed with embarrassment, but before she could answer, Taissa stepped in, her voice blunt. "They were having an affair."
