[June 7th/8th. When everyone is back at the hotel.]

You're probably asleep. I don't know what the time is over there. Just checking in.

[More silence though you’d swear you could hear her heart hammering through the phone line.]

Tell me again. What happened. Tell me exactly what was said. [Her voice tight, Rose barely managing to control the level of it.]

[There’s...not much to tell that he hasn’t said already, but his voice is steady, albeit stressed, when he replies.]

I saw the two of you talking as you walked down the halls. I was confused, because I had thought you’d already left, and inquired as to why you were still in town. You told me that your mission had been delayed and you didn’t know when you would be leaving. The two of you spoke about a girl’s night out, Elena apologized for taking up your time recently, and you told me not to wait up when I asked if I would see you later.

Then I gave you a kiss on the cheek and the two of you left.

[The whole time she was listening, Rose’s breathing became more staggered and uneven, a picture forming in her mind that saw the phone in her hand shake.

She wouldn’t. Never in a million years would Rose have even thought that what she was imagining was possible but the more Dimitri spoke, the more it become clear (Wisdom Nat 20) that the horror of this night was culminating into something far worse than she ever thought possible.

It was the last thing he said that finished her though and without thought, Rose let out a guttural scream that would surely be heard by everyone in the hotel as she hurled the phone against the wall of the room (Str 23) watching the pieces fall to the ground.]

((TBC... when... Rose gets use of another phone.))
