Episode 5
“Was it a lady?” I asked bewilderedly.
“Yes, it was a lady who was st.abbed. What happened? How did you get involved with that?” She asked, and I blinked rapidly.
“I don’t know anything about it, mom. I…I was just on my way from the party and was about to hail a cab when I stumbled upon her.
She had fallen close to me, and…I had wanted to contact 911, but suddenly I…”
I paused and flinched as I remembered what had happened at that moment.
She had grabbed my wrist and spoken in a strange language.
I gasped and quickly looked at my wrist, but it was plain and unmarked—nothing.
“Zoey?” Mom called, and I looked up at her.
“I’m…I’m fine. I just…when I was about to call 911, I suddenly passed out.
I don’t know what happened,” I told her, feeling a bit dazed.
“Well, the most important thing is that you’re safe and okay.
But you’ll need to give your statement to the police to clear your name,” she said, and I simply nodded.

I was discharged and free to go, but first, I had to give my statement to the police and explain everything to them.
I spoke with them privately and told them everything I knew about the lady. It’s such a pity she didn’t make it.
When I was done with the police, I left the room so I could find my mom. But suddenly, I remembered something.
The lady had mentioned a baby.
I paused and thought about it. That was true.
I turned around and went to the doctor’s office, and luckily, I met him outside.
“Miss Zoey,” he called warmly.
“Is there a problem?”
“Uh…of course, not,” I smiled and looked around.
“I just…wanted to ask.
“The deceased person you discovered last night…the woman…was she expecting a child?” I asked curiously, and initially, he appeared slightly surprised.
“Well,” he cleared his throat.
“We have already conducted a post-mortem examination on her body, and based on the results, she was not pregnant.”
His response left me momentarily speechless. She wasn’t pregnant? Then what did she mean by mentioning her baby? Or could it be that her baby was in some kind of danger? Shouldn’t I inform the police about this?
“Zoey,” I heard my mother’s voice, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I sighed as I looked at her.
“Are you alright? I’ve been searching for you,” she said as she approached.
“I’m fine, Mom. I was just talking to the doctor.”
“Okay. Are we finished? Can we go home now?” she asked, and I nodded, and we finally left.
*Mum wouldn’t let me do anything at home; all she wanted was for me to eat and get enough rest.
I took a bath and after eating, decided to rest in my room.
As I was about to lie down on the bed, I heard a knock on the door, and I quickly guessed who it was.
“Yes?” I answered, and the door opened, revealing Mandy entering.
Perfect!
I rolled my eyes and averted my gaze.
“Zoey!” she called out with concern as she walked toward me.
“I was so worried. What happened to you? How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine. At least, I didn’t get assaulted,” I rolled my eyes again, and she gasped, sitting next to me.
“You…you were almost as$aulted?”
“Yes! By that so-called Leo you asked to keep me company! Were you actually collaborating with him? I mean, you asked him to bring me to you, and in the end…”
“Hold on,” she scoffed.
“What are you talking about? Leo tried to a$sault you?”
“Please, Mandy, don’t act like you don’t know anything about it. You called him on the phone and asked him to bring me to you, and…”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Zoey. I…I never called Leo that night.
I returned hours later to look for you at the table, but I couldn’t find you, and I thought you had already gone home.”
“Seriously, Zoey? Are you suspecting me? You…You think I would want to set you up and have you assaulted? I can’t believe this!”
