Amber was startled by her phone. Sa ilalim mismo ng pisngi niya iyon tumutunog. Nakatulugan na pala niya...napabalikwas siya. Hindi pa rin siya nagpapalit ng damit. She was so tired. It was a long night.
"Kim." Sagot niya sa tumatawag.
"OH, my God, Amber! Have you heard?"
"What?"
"Si Tita Monique! She's dead! Si Paige! Pinatay s'ya ni Paige!"
"What?" Tumayo siya, pumasok sa banyo. Ipinatong niya sa counter ang cell phone at balewalang hinubad ang workout pants at panties. She sat on the toilet.
"Kagabi...sinaksak n'ya si Tita Monique! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! She's insane---" hindi magkaintindihan sa pagkukuwento si Kim.
Hinubad na rin ni Amber ang tank top niya, "Are you sure it was Paige?" Tanong niya kay Kim.
"Yes! Nahuli s'ya ng mga pulis, nandun pa s'ya sa crime scene. Hawak pa n'ya ang kutsilyo."
"My God! But why?"
"Because ... they think...they think...she also killed Blanche and Tita found out...they found the phone in her bag--"
"What phone?" Nakatingin siya sa mga kamay at kuko.
"Phone ni Blanche! Nasa bag ni Paige."
Amber finished urinating, "W-Where is she now? Si Paige?"
"Nakakulong na."
"Shit, what a mess. Um, listen, Kim, I'll just take a shower, I'll meet up with you guys as soon as I finish."
"Okay, okay. Oh, my God, who would have thought...she's crazy...wait, Ashley's calling, maybe she has update."
Amber stepped into the shower.
