INSIDE THEIR MINDS

What Happened

PHIL

"KATE! KATE!, Something is wrong with her! "

"What happened?!" Derek yelled.

"She won't wake up!" I yelled shaking Kate's shoulders.

"Is she breathing?" Alex asks hovering over me.

I put my hand an inch away from her mouth and feel her breath breathe in and out.

"She's breathing." I say relieved.

I look at Nora resting in her arms and reluctantly take her away and hand her to Alex.

"Alex watch Nora, Derek watch the cameras. I will take care Kate."

"Kate, sweetie. Sleep if you need to just please be okay." I whisper to Kate as I move her hair out of her face.

I look quickly around the room for a blanket. I search through the several cabinets and finally find them under the desk. I grab the lightest blanket, open it up and rest it on her.

Then I take a good look at her and she looks so uncomfortable in her chair I decide it was better to move her to the floor.

"Derek, can you help me?" I ask.

He grabs her feet and I rest my arms under hers and lift her up and over to the corner opposite of the computers.

"You guys need to get over here. " Alex says sounding worried.

I shove a towel under her head to use as a pillow and then I take a seat near the screens, my body still facing Kate.

"This is bad. This is really bad." I say staring at the horror in front of me.

"We....we need to call Erica...we need to tell her about this..." Alex stutters.

"Derek..I have to help Kate. Can you?" I ask handing him the cell from counter.

I then moved to the floor and sat beside Kate rubbing circles in her back.

"Phil we have problem. " Derek says from behind me.

"Yea, we have a few of them" I answer back sarcastically.

"No, we have a whole new problem" He says again sounding even more worried.

"What?" I ask turning to him.

He shows me the phone and my heart sank.

"Do you have it? " He asks

"It's in my bedroom." I answer, now feeling even more worried.

"Are we going to go get it?" He asks looking to the door and then to me.

"I don't know if we have any other choice." I say staring at the door.

ERICA

"Derek? I can barely hear you." I say straining to hear his voice as it cuts in and out.

"We don't have much battery left in the phone. Theres... charge... down..." Derek says.

"Derek. Just call in an emergency." I say hoping that he hears me.

"Okay. Be careful." He said then the phone cut out entirely.

Great, hopefully they can charge the phone and call me back but who knows.

Then I hear a car, from up the road. I go farther into the ditch and hide myself behind some bushes, still able to see the road. My car wasn't hidden very well but hopefully it was out of their sight enough that they wouldn't see it.
