Chapter 6

R. L. STINE

I settled on being exppy and hapcited.

I'm totally pissed off that I spent most of my time dealing with mt emotions. What to feel and not to feel. Dumb dumb dumb me.

"Some TV will definitely make me feel so much better."I muttered to myself, searching for the remote control. Finding that it has been misplaced, I stomped my foot on the floor.

"Calm down, Stine."I breathed, reminding to keep my blood pressure normal. No stress for today.

Or try not to stress today.

I used the switch on the flat screen to turn it on. The screen brought me to the news.

God, I hate the news.

"Just this morning there have been reports sent to Australian authorities about a car crash near a coffee shop in Sydney, Australia."I started searching for the remote. I have to find it as soon as possible.

"It has been noted by Australian leaders to the US government that the victim was indeed an American,"I saw the remote stuck between the pillows in the couch. "Aha!"I almost pressed the button on the remote and changed the channel but...

"Lorraine Cooper."

Wait. Lorraine? In an accident?!

I dropped the remote and listened.

"It has been confirmed that Lorraine Cooper is a former New Yorker, now living in Madison, Delaware with her nephew and his wife. Local residents of Madison said that Mrs. Cooper is on a month's vacation in Sydney. Mrs. Cooper is now confined in St. Peter's Hospital in Sydney for recovery."

Oh my God, Zach and Hannah has to know about this.

Just then the phone rang. Before I could say hello, Hannah's voice boomed through the phone.

"DAD PACK YOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GOING TO SYDNEY!"She said.

"Aunt Lorraine just got in--"

"An accident. Yeah I was just watching the news."I cut her off. "You watch the news?"She asked. "No."I answered.

"Um...yeah. So Champ and Taylor are also coming with us. We'll pick you up in two three hours."Hannah hung up right away.

Please...don't take Lorraine. I prayed.
