“Hello! Are you still there? Sorry, a couple of friends of hers are here now to get her,” said the man on the line. Marianne looked up at Francois who had leaned forward to the table with his hand at the back of her chair.

“What! Leonna is missing!?”“Pardon? You want me to come to the police station? Why?” asked Marianne, feeling bewildered.
Saturday, it’s the day that Marianne is viewing her dead body, the dead body of Kenny Jones. She is so anxious that she barely touches her breakfast. The thought of running into Steven is making her edgy. She doesn’t want to encounter him there but at the same time she also wishes to see him. She wants to know what Kenny Jones saw in him.

Steven Cole introduced himself to Marianne “Hi! I’m Steven, nice to meet you,” he said, smilingly, then he extended his hand to Marianne but she didn’t take it. He didn’t think much of it and brushed it off. He smiled at everyone to avoid awkwardness.
