Desperation Devastation

Dialing Your Fears

We left Dunkin' Donuts soon after Alex had satisfied her donut craving, and I got Susy's cellphone number. Poor girl, this means that there will be many a time when she gets drunken phone calls from Naomi asking about a pet cactus for sale.

I was walking home when I got the phone call.
An urgent voice asked "Is this Emile De Groen?"

"Uh, yeah its me. Whats up?"

"A Naomi Hutchinson is in the emergency ward and no close relations are available. Could you make it in here?"

"What the fuck?!" My voice was hoarse, she couldn't be in hospital!

"I said a Naomi Hut-"

"Yeah I know! Just tell me what the fuck happened!"

"I can't release many details at the moment, can you make it in here?"

"Yeah, sure." I said, tugging on my hair.

"OK, bye."

Jesus, what the fuck? Its just not right, what the fuck could have happened to get her in there?
I dialled Alex's number.
Fuck! Answer-machine.
I punched in Tayler's number.
"This mobile is out of reach of service or has been switched off. Please-"

"Jesus!"

I dialled Cassandra's number.
Dialling,
Dialling,
No answer.
Shit! I panicked and dialled Susy's number.
"Hello?"

"Hey Susy, its me Emile, from Dunkin's."

"Oh hey! didn't recognise your voice," her voice was enthusiastic and surprised at the same time.

"Listen, one of my friends is in the hospital, could you go with me?" I asked.

"Erm, yeah sure."

"Great, I'm catching a cab now. Bye."

"See yah."
