(At Lwazi’s house on another day. Mihlali’s phone rings, and she answers.)
Mihlali: Talk to me.
Tiger: I found something about Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
Mihlali: Excite me.
Tiger: Our little Miss here has an admitted mother: apparently she was operated on weeks ago and she is still in the Intensive Care Unit as we speak.
Mihlali: So? (She chews her gum.)
Tiger Yoh, you really are slow and foolish, see why I abandoned you? We will send one of my guys to finish her off. Rumour has it that our little Miss is overprotective when it comes to her mother, sensitive in a way that she’d even quit her job for her mother’s safety.

Tell us: How do you think Alicia will cope if something happens to her mother?
