The operator didn't hear the young girl so she hung up. Tears pricked the girl's eyes. She ran out the house to her neighbors. She banged on the door and it opened to reveal her best friend, Brett Talbot.

"Are your parents home?"

"Yeah. MOM, DAD!" The boy yelled and they came.

"My dad. The hospital."

Lori Rohr, Brett's sister, stood by Sydney and held her hand.
