The landline rings and Pamela answers, "Hello?"
Across the way, in the same hospital, Vera starts crying, "Pamela! It's me, Vera! Don't hang up!"
"That's exactly what I'm supposed to do, you stupid one!" Pamela growls.
"No, you need to go to the hospital! Beto was shot, I don't know if he'll survive!"
