Karlä turned her head away. "I have to testify against..." "An ex?" Mal completed the sentence. Karlä was surprised then she remembered what else McKenzie spilt. Shrugging she said "I'm going to get it out the way." Mal crosses her arms. " Why do you have to testify?" This was a question Karlä dreaded to answer. "Uh...he's been convicted for drug trafficking." Mal sat down on her bed. "Karlä?" "Yes?" Karlä replied. Mal sighed. "Even if you don't want me to be...I'm still your sister Karlä. I can tell when you're lying." Karlä then spoke up. "I do want to be your sister Mal." She could see tears in her older sisters eyes. "Really?" Mal replied. Karlä nodded. "I just... don't want to speak about the time we were apart." Mal frowned. "One day we will have to speak about it." Karlä gulped. Mal then smiled. "But I'm not going to ask you that at quarter to 12." Both sisters laughed before Mal turned the light off. "Night Pughy." "Night Pughy."
