INT. LASHE'S HOUSE/MASTER BEDROOM - CONTINOUS

Lashe steps out of bathroom in bathrobe, puts on nightwear and climbs bed. She covers self with blanket and puts off bedside lamp. Shortly, she switches bedside lamp on, picks phone and dials. No answer. She dials again and a sleepy voice picks:

VOICE(THROUGH PHONE)

Hello.

LASHE(INTO PHONE)

Hello, Barrister Ode. Did I wake you?

ODE(THROUGH PHONE)

It's okay, Mrs Elliot.

LASHE(INTO PHONE)

No, I could just call back later in the morning.

ODE(THROUGH PHONE)

It's okay. I'm already up.

LASHE(INTO PHONE)

Hope your wife wasn't awoken too?

ODE(THROUGH PHONE)

It's okay. What could be so important?

LASHE(INTO PHONE)

It's my husband, Tekena. You know I've been telling you about his escapades with other girls and his unfaithfulness with me? Again - tonight - I caught him with not just another girl, but my colleague and friend. You know Mercy Tochukwu?

ODE(THROUGH PHONE)

Not exactly.

LASHE(INTO PHONE)

She calls herself Diva on stage.

ODE(THROUGH PHONE)

Okay, Diva...yea, Diva. I know Diva.
