"Before I blacked out, I do remember one thing," Velma Kelly told the reporter sitting across from her.
"Oh?" said he, taking a puff of his cigar. "Are you goin to continue with your story, Miss Kelly?" he added harshly.
"Yeah, yeah. Keep your socks up," said Velma, annoyed. "Now, where was I?" she asked herself.
"You were about to tell me the incident of your sister and husband being killed," said the reporter.
"Right, right. Anyway, we're in the Hotel Cicero. We include my husband, sister and I. So ya know, we're sitting in the hotel room, boozin and havin a few laughs. Are you getting all of this?" she snapped.
"'Boozin and havin a few laughs', please continue," inquired the reporter.
"We ran out of ice. Charlie insisted that I go and get some. I didn't want to disappoint him, so I did as he told me. I come back five minutes later and open the door. It was the worst sight in the world: my sister, Veronica and my husband, were makin out. There is a gun lyin near by. I pick it up, close my eyes and fire. I hear two bodies fall to the floor...and that's all I remember," she concluded.
"Thank you for your time, Miss Kelly," the reporter shook her hand and went on his way.
