"Skye! Wake up!" Piper yells, shaking Skye's body.
"Can't a girl get some beauty sleep around here!" Skye grumbles.
"You're going to be late for that interview if you don't get up right now!"
"Oh shoot!" Skye jumps off the couch and runs around frantically looking for her interview outfit. She quickly scrambles to get rid of her hangover look and puts on her most "professional" outfit.
On her way to the University Hospital Birmingham NHS for her 10:15 interview, she passes by Camille's house and sees police cars and ambulances blocking the street. Like everyone else, she's curious and parks in the nearest spot even though she was already late to the interview.
"What's going on?" Skye gets out of the car and walks towards the scene. After saying many "excuse me's", Skye finally gets to the front and sees forensics zipping up a body bag. Her eyes follow it as they start rolling the bag towards the ambulance.
She looks up to see a red eyed Moira. "Oh my god," she says, as realization starts to catch up to her. There was no way that body was Camille's, right?
Getting her head out of her thoughts, Skye turns back towards her car as she realizes that she has to go or she'll miss the chance of getting that internship. She had just turned on the engine when someone knocks on her car window. She rolls it down to see a police officer.
"What seems to be the problem officer?" Skye asks, confused as to why he was there.
"Are you Skylar Hamilton?" he asks with a grim face.
"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"
"A witness saw you running out of the flat of Camille Jackson and Moira at around 1 A.M. We need you to head down to the precinct to answer some questions."
"Uh okay. I'll follow your car." Skye composes herself and tries to act calm but inside, she is totally freaking out.
