"Fine, let me ask you another question, Ms. Patterson. During your employment at Sintery Enterprises, did Mrs. Moore act strange the night of April 1st of 1978?

"Other than her usual weird behavior? She seemed troubled like she had known something, and she didn't know what to do with it." Doris replied.

"Could you elaborate more on that, please?" Doris looked nervous, probably because she wasn't in the office. Too busy sucking face with the new interns.

"Earlier, about 10 minutes before her breakdown, she got a call. She's been receiving them since her...accident." 

"She always said a certain location and hung up. She didn't want us to hear. My friend and I did some... investigating. We found the location she would disclose led to an old payphone. It was about ten blocks from the office." Doris continued, staring my way. Nosey rat.

"Go on." Kenny paced, eagerly waiting for the incriminating answer.

"That night, she received a call again, but she didn't leave this time. My fellow intern and I were uh-chatting when we heard the conversation." Doris replied, looking not at us but the bitter old hag behind us.

"She seemed angry. At one point, she screamed out the name Lori."

"Do you believe this could've been the victim?"

"Objection, your honor, leading question.", James said, tapping his leg, anxiously waiting for his turn.
"Sustained."

"Let me re-phrase. Who do you think Mrs. Moore was talking to on the phone?"

"I believe she was speaking to Lori Drew." Doris was staring intently at Mrs. Drew, looking for approval.

Ivory asked and I just held up my hand. "Hi, are you Maria?" I asked and saw the girl nod. "Yes, how can I help you?" She asked with what I can tell was a fake smile. "I know this is going to sound crazy... but your daughter is here." "Mina." The dead girl piped in and I looked over at her. "My daughter is at school." She said and looked around where I had glanced. "Mina is here... I can speak to the dead, she wants me to tell you something."

I stood up and put Constance in his cot, he began to giggle at the sight of the mobile. His fist in his mouth admiring the hanging sea creatures, dolphins, whales, and turtles. I looked back at Evangeline, she was breathing heavily and losing all control. She plopped down on the bed, and I moved from the cot to look at her. Once my feet stood in front of her she took her ring off and threw it at me. It hit my chest. It fell right on my slipper. She was growing with hysteria. Her fingers running through her hair. I was frozen, she was heaving and she fell from the bed onto her knees. She crawled to the corner of the room, in between the wall and the dresser. Her red shirt rubbing against the green walls of the bedroom. Her shoulder grazed the beige dresser, making scratches on her arms and she didn't care. I looked down at the ring sitting on my foot, to my Evangeline. My mouth hung open but I couldn't say anything, the only noise in the room was the scraping of Evangeline's shoulder and the little giggles escaping the cot. My money was on my foot, but my heart split across the room." -Chp 15

Yet, he refrained. He walked towards the large floor to ceiling window in my office and peered down the 29 floors to look at the bottom of NYC. "I think it's fair to say that you have quite a mouth on you." He noted, turning his frame back to me. "And I think it's fair to say that you are a; misogynistic, egotistical, irresponsible adult!" I argued back. He inclined his head in my direction. "Is that so?" ------------------ "I will never marry you Ace! Your a sick, vile, evil human being!"

Immediately Judeson drove inside the resident of Mr Stanley with a red Range over car, so as Celestina's taxi dropped her at the gate. She wore a trouser which obviously sharpened the shape of her round buttocks. Her breast in a brown top was something one cannot write home about. She pushed the gate open and hurried into the sittingroom where Mr and Mrs Stanley were already telling Judeson the current situation. "I don't believe Steve is dead" Mr Stanley began sitting on a cushion. Just then, Celestina entered hearing the word 'dead'. "Dead?" she said removing her hand bag slowly, so all looked at her even Judeson. "No, Steve is not dead, i believe he's only missing" Mr Stanley said. "Why? And what happened?" Celestina slowly moved to Mrs Stanley and sat beside her. "Steve's airplane crashed before it crossed our territory" "Jeez!" Judeson exclaimed folding his hands while Celestina began to cry immediately. In the process, Mrs Stanley drew her closer to her chest. "My son is not dead" she also said in tears. "You mean his body couldn't be found either dead or alive?" Judeson asked. "Yes, that's why we concluded that he's only missing" Mr Stanley replied bitterly.
