After Allen calmed down a little, I fed him and burped him, then took him to the nursery to change him. It was part of my daily routine. I went downstairs to make breakfast but first turned on the tv to see if there was any news about Finn's plane. Nothing was on, so I went into the office and turned on the computer and Googled: Flight 78, 2014. A bunch of pages came up and I clicked on the first one. I was in the middle of reading the headline when the phone rang. I answered it and it was my director. "Rachel! Where are you?" He sounded angry, "you were supposed to be here an hour ago!" I had completely forgotten. "I'm sorry! Finn left yesterday and his plane went missing and I'm home alone with Allen and I completely forgot!" I pleaded. "Get your butt in here now. You have 15 minutes," he demanded. "I'm sorry, but I have to watch Allen," I explained, "and even if I did come in, I don't know how much we would get done with my mind thinking about Finn. Can't you just work with the chorus or something," I begged. "Come in at 6:00am tomorrow and we'll catch you up. You need to stop missing work. You're Fanny Brice," he said. "Yes sir, 6:00am. I'll be there." He hung up and I continued doing my research on the Flight 78. The headline that I began to read before said: "Flight 78 Found: 150 Dead."
