Cynthia: "Thanks Missy."1
Missy: "You're welcome."2
I didn't know if I should3
go out to the car to wake Tony up,4
or leave him there.5
It was still early 6
and the kids were still in bed.7
Missy and I grabbed our cups of coffee8
and went out to the kitchen.9
I turned the radio on10
and kept the volume down low.11
Missy: "So, what time did the hit and run occur?"12
Cynthia: "I was listening to the radio on the way home and the announcer said it was around 1:30 this morning."13
Missy: "People that get drunk, should use their damn brains and stay off the road."14
Cynthia: "Yeah, tell me about it."15
Radio Announcer: "And now the top headlines in today's news."16
Cynthia: "I want to hear this."17
Radio Announcer: "There was an unknown person killed by a drunk driver around 1:30 this morning, it was a hit and run accident."18
Missy: "I wonder if anybody witnessed it?"19
Cynthia: "I don't know."20
Missy had a worried look on her face.21
Whenever she gets nervous or frightened,22
she tends to bite her nails.23
