S31 152. Is She Dead?

“No!” Hailey’s fingers trembled a few inches in front of her cheek. Her eyes were horrified, as if she was seeing a ghost in the mirror.

When her friend turned around, Barbara gasped. Her feet

spontaneously stepped back, as if she didn’t want to get infected. What’s wrong with your face?”

“Yes, Sir!”

While the three men were carrying out their duties, Philip turned to face the make up and wardrobe team.

The women shook their heads together.
