New Message One, left by Christine Lewis, 443-356-2288, at 8:00 AM: Jade, it's Christine Lewis, I couldn't get a hold of Connor, so I was just calling to let you guys know that Eloise seems to have contracted the stomach flu and I kept her home from school today, so she won't be at robotics club. Didn't want Connor wondering where she was! Thanks!

New Message Two, left by Michelle Kilhorn, 301-261-9420, at 8:30 AM: Hi Connor and Jade, this is Michelle, since Connor didn't come in to work this morning Mr. Baroner wanted me to call and make sure everything was okay, in accordance with company policy. He asked me to remind Connor that he must let the office know if he is not coming in to work. If you could just call me back when you get this and confirm that Connor is okay, that would be great. Company policy dictates that we call the police for a wellness check if we don't hear back within two hours, so hopefully you can get back to us soon. Thanks!

New Message Five, left by Claire Patterson, 443-567-8910, at 11:30 AM: Hi Jade, it's Mom. I just tried your cell, but you didn't pick up, I just wanted to tell you, I just drove by the high school and there must have been like ten police cars outside! I wonder what's happened! I know Connor volunteer's there so you might want to tell him to cancel today, it looked serious! I tried calling the school but of course, no one answered. I'm rushing home to check the news now, I'll call you and let you know if I hear anything. Children these days, I keep telling Elizabeth she really ought to home school Abigail, it's just not safe out there anymore. I drove by the middle school just to make sure after seeing all the chaos at the high school and no police officers there so at least we know that Abby is safe. Anyway, just wanted to give you that update. Oh and also, do ask Connor about that saw your father spoke with him about last week. He can just bring it to Abby's game on Saturday if that works for him, your father really wants to get started re-boarding the deck now that his bowling league is on recess. Oh and Jade, did you see that article I sent you yesterday? You never replied to my text. You really need to stop drinking so much wine! No more of those Winesdays at Whole Foods! The article said it causes cancer! Anyway, I just got home so I'd better go check the news. See you on Saturday honey, love you!
