“But who could it be,” Joyce wondered as she rubbed her chin.

Natalie shrugged. “Who knows. Whoever it was sure doesn’t like Jasmine much. It may not necessarily be a bad thing, as at the very least she won’t be troubling anyone for a while. It’s almost time. Let’s get going.”

With that, the two of them left the hospital for the studio.

Plumlee arrived with the bodyguard shortly after them.

“Good morning, Ms. Smith.” Plumlee hailed Natalie.

“Alright.” Natalie smiled as she received it.
