By this point the air is electric. All the
judges and half the audience are out of their seats. Uniformed
security guards are making their way onto the stage. The crowd is
beyond murmuring; we’ve heard a scream or two. Mario races over to
Tiffany, kneels beside her, and takes her limp arm by the
wrist.
A second later he raises his head toward one
of the guards and with his free hand covers the microphone on his
tuxedo lapel. I don’t so much hear him say it as I watch his lips
form the words. “She’s dead.”
