"No!" Martha screeched in agony, her staring eyes full of incredulity.
How is that possible?
Why would Angela do that? Why?
No!
It can't be true!
Was it part of her plan?
She told me a hundred times how Gloria got her in a corner. Could this be part of a plan made by Angela and the mystery person?
The mystery person talked about giving Angela a new identity.
Martha's heart steadied to its regular rhythm as if she knew what was going on.
Gloria gazed at Martha's face with her narrowed eyes. Even though Martha was trying to hide how she really felt, Gloria could figure it out from the smallest change of her expression.
Martha can tell very quickly that Angela is not dead. She knows this is part of Angela's plan.
Gloria wasn't here to prove anything. Even though she didn't talk to Martha, she knew Angela was still alive.
