Conversation #12: "The End."

Two hours later....

*Ring. Ring.*

Brad calls, but no reply.

Two days later.....

*Ring. Ring.*

Brad calls, but the phone is busy.

Four days later, Brad calls...

*Ring. Ring.*

(A woman who sounds like she's been weeping picks up.)

Mrs. Henson: "......Hello?"

Brad : "Hello,....Mrs. Henson?....It's Brad. Brad

Williams?......If you remember....I called to

speak to Trisha about 4 or 5 days ago?"

Mrs. Henson: "Williams?.....Oh....right. The guy she used to

tutor."

Brad : "That's right....Ah,....pardon me for asking,

Mrs. Henson.....but is everything alright?.....

You sound upset.

Mrs. Henson: "You mean....you don't know?"

Brad : "Know what? I've been calling your house for the

last several days, but haven't been able to get

through. Also, I haven't seen her at school at

all recently. And....I just called to see if she

was...okay."

Mrs. Henson: "I'm afraid I have some bad news, Mr. Williams.

Trisha has been in the hospital these last few

days....in a coma due to an overdose of any

number of the pills in our medicine cabinet."

Brad : "Hospital?......Coma?.....Overdose?......What

are you talking about? How'd this happen?!"

Mrs. Henson: "She came home from scholl extremely upset about

four days ago....went straight into the bathroom

......and stayed in there for hours......Her

father and I tried talking to her through the

door for about fifteen minutes....but she wouldn't

open it....And wouldn't tell us what was wrong...

.....And....finally after we hadn't heard her come

out....my husband broke the door down.....and there

we found her passed out on the floor with several

open bottles of medication scattered on the ground.

......All we could do then....was rush her to the

hospital.....She wasn't breathing."

Brad : "My God!....Can I see her?"

Mrs. Henson: "I'm afraid that won't be possible."
