Capítulo 18: Chapter Eighteen

“I—well, it was kind of my—actually the whole thing was my entire fault.”

“I’m listening.”

“Ziza, I know about the damn list. That’s what people have been going on about since you left. I want to know what happened that night.” He said. There was a slight pause before she spoke.

“I—what? Is this some a joke that’s supposed to be funny?”

“No. It explains why I went AWOL for those days. I got arrested.” Then she mumbled, “Faizah had to bail me out.”

“Are you crazy? You know that’s a huge crime?” He spoke in disbelief at what he had just been told.
