Billy looked at Roxie, "Good idea. Head to your apartment, after I leave-I
don't want to be blamed at all. I can defend anyone but myself, and I'm not
about to try."
--Billy leaves-
"Velma, get your stuff. You can stay at my house for a few days.or until the body is found.then you're on your own. Notice that I will deny any recollection of this, okay?"
"Yeah, fine, sure whatever."
"Good."
-----They leave----
((Roxie's Apartment))
"So, are you hungry?" she asked, "I have caramels from San Francisco" she said jokingly.
"I'm laying off the caramels."
"I was kidding, Velma Kelley"
"I figured."
"So, you really have the worst luck with men, huh?"
"Yeah," she sat on the sofa. "What do you think's gonna happen?"
"Well, I don't know. You been charged with murder already once before, and well, like you said before, how many times can you get away with murder?"
"I'm just hoping that Billy can get me off again."
"I bet you are."
"I'm guessing the body'll be found tomorrow.I'm thinking I'm gonna get some sleep."
"Okay, I'll get you some blankets, and a pillow, and you can sleep on the sofa."
"Great, Thanks."
Roxie came back with the blankets, "Okay, here you go.If you get hungry there's some stuff in the ice box, or there's some glasses in the cabinet and water in the sink," she smiled.
"Goodnight."
"Night"
Roxie went into her bedroom, and that night her head was wild with dreams of Amos and the time she spent in the Cook County Jail, Not to mention Fred Casely.
**Phone rings later that day**
"Hello?" answered Roxie.
"Roxie, It's Billy. Is Velma there?"
"Yeah? Why?"
"They found the body. The smell was evident. Meet me down at my office in an hour. Okay?"
"Fine."
Roxie walked over to Velma still sleeping on the sofa, "Sleeping Beauty, get up."
"What?" Velma said sleepily
"They found the body."
"I figured."
"We gotta go see Billy."
"What time is it?"
"4:00 PM, July 24, It's about 100( out, and I guess old Joe was smellin' pretty bad."
"I see, well, I'm up.Let me get dressed"
"Better hurry."
"Don't sweat"
"That's tough not to now!"
"I knew this was a bad idea!"
"I hate you!!!"
"Damn it, Roxie!"
"I'm not the one who killed my beau!"
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Shut up!"
"That's mine- you stole it!"
"Like you stole my garter!"
"Get dressed!"
"Maybe I don't want to!"
"Maybe you can rot in prison!"
"So what? What's it to you?!"
"Nothing! Go to Hell!"
"I've already been there, it's a little warm in the summer, but other than that, it's fabulous."
Roxie smiled, "You are so pathetic."
"I know.isn't it great?"
"Good, isn't it?"
"Grand, isn't it?"
"Great, isn't it?"
"Swell, isn't it?"
"Funny, isn't it? But nothing stays.Nowadays."
"I can't remember how much fun that was."
"It's been way too long" "We gotta get back on stage."
