Chapter 6: What happened?!

What was that?" Cole asked.

"I don't know...Wait...is that smoke?!" Silvia asked.

Before Cole could answer, Silvia made her way downstairs and out the door.

"Come on Cole!" Silvia screamed to Cole as he made his way down the ladder.

When he was on the ground, the two teens ran through the garden towards the smoke. As they where getting closer, Silvia thought of a better idea.

"Hey Cole, I'm going to call the police."

"Ok Silvia. Do you have your phone here?"

"No. I'm gonna run back home and call them!"

Silvia ran back to the house. She pushed the door open and ran to her room. When she found her phone she started to dial the police station's number.

"Clouddale police station, what's your emergency." a lady answered.

"Hi. There is smoke coming from a few blocks from where I live." Silvia rushed her answer.

"Okay ma'am calm down. Where do you live?"

Silvia rambled her address over the phone, ended the call and went back downstairs rushing out the door.

As she ran down the street, the police and ambulance rushed by her.

'Weird...that was quick... I called them like 5 seconds ago.' Silvia thought.

When Silvia arrived at the scene the both the police and ambulance as well as Cole were already there.

"Woah..." Silvia said in shock as she walked towards Cole.

She stood next to him looking at the mess. A badly crashed white car was lying on his roof in the middle of the road. Smoak was coming out of the broken windows and the engine was on fire.

"I wonder what happened...Who do you think drove so reckless?" Silvia asked.

As she starred at the damaged car, she was still baffled about how the ambulance could come so fast.

It was very strange, but she never actually understood how the emergency services worked. Another three police cars arrived at the scene. Six policemen climbed out, of which one was Cole's father.

"Search the area for any clues!" Cole's dad ordered his men. They immediately nodded and started searching the scene.

"Hey there you two. Thanks Silvie for calling us. I didn't know you already called the ambulance! Did you call them after you called us?" Cole's dad asked.

"Hi sir. No problem I guess. And I did not call the ambulance, I only called you guys. I assumed that the police station sent the ambulance here." Silvia said whilst frowning.

"Oh gosh no! We came here as soon as we got your call" one of the officers replied then both looked at the quiet Cole.

"Don't look at me! I didn't call anyone. My phone died like an hour ago!" Cole said.

One of the officers walked over to where they were standing. The officer and Cole's dad talked a while and Silvia started to swim in her own thoughts. Who could have been in the car? Was it someone she knew? Her thoughts went on while the officers were talking.
