"Madam, please write down his particulars in this form for processing." The nurse handed a pen and a form for Alice to fill in. Knowing that Alice was exhausted, Dana took the form and pen from the nurse. Alice’s eyes became wide. Dana didn’t know Chris’ full name for sure. What is she doing? Alice thought. Dana paused for a while as she looked at the form and then looked at Alice. She hoped she did the right thing. She exhaled and wrote down Chris’ particulars as Alice looked on. Alice’s face dropped when she saw Dana wrote down Chris’ full name. She looked at her with her mouth opened agape as Dana handed the form back to the nurse for processing, as if she had grown three heads.

The drive back to Alice’s was a quiet one. As Dana pulled over at the driveway of the house, both just sat inside the car, not knowing what to do next. Dana looked at Alice and she knew it was the time she revealed how she knew Chris’ identity.

"Al?" Dana broke the silence.

"Yeah." Alice answered, still looking at the front. There were too many questions playing in her mind now. She wasn’t sure if she was dreaming about what she saw.

"Let’s go in." Both opened the door and got out from the car, making their way to the front door and unlocked it. Dana closed the door behind her.

Alice was looking out through the window while Dana stood at the other corner of the house, looking intently at her. The room was filled with silence until Dana decided to throw the caution to the wind.

"Al."

There was a silence in the room before Alice spoke.

“How do you know?” Alice asked. Alice looked away from the window to look at Dana. Dana saw a million of questions erupted through Alice’s eyes. She decided to spill the beans.

“From the group. Chris revealed it accidentally when he was playing with Angie in Kit’s house. She called Bette and then they came to the airport and told me before I boarded the plane.”

Alice did not say anything as she was deep in thought.

Dana waited patiently, hoping that Alice would tell her about Chris.
