Debbie is surprised to see Brooke just heading out the door. She is wearing tight cotton pants, a V-neck T-shirt and running shoes.
"Brooke? What are you doing?" Debbie inquires.
Brooke turns and smiles, holding a finger to her lips. "Don't wake Njau. I'm going for a run."
"Do you think that's wise? Shouldn't you have the bodyguard accompany you?"
Brooke smirks and whispers, "Oh please, he couldn't keep up. Everything will be fine."
"Well, let me come with you," Debbie says. She doesn't like the idea of a white beauty queen running around the city alone. Debbie pulls on some running shorts, a long sleeve shirt and running shoes. She pulls her long red hair back in a ponytail. Then they head off!
The girls take the elevator down to the main floor and walk out the front entrance. They don't notice the porter pick up the phone as they breeze by.
It's nearly dawn. The air is cooler but still muggy. The girls head off down the street, heading towards a nearby park they could see from their window.
