My phone beeped, Mrs Cahill was calling "Coop your , I’ll call you back"
I took the phone away from my ear to slide the answer button across the screen It tooklike a bitch "Hello?"
"Hunter! Oh thank God Isworried
"No She never showed up for the appointasp and then there was a loud thump in my ear She’d dropped the phone and I coulduncontrollably
I heard Mr Cahill in the background shushing her, followed by a bunch of shuffling noises "Hunter Hey son, where are you?"
"What’s going on?" I couldn’t even answer him I just needed answers and I needed them now
"Are you by a TV?"
"No I’o look for CC"
Sighing into the phone he said, "There seems to have been some kind of accident and from e can see, it looks like MacKenzie’s car"
I restedwheel and took a few deep breaths This can’t be true, CC was too careful "Where’s the accident at?"
Please don’t say 295
"On the south bound side of 295, right near exit 32" he answered
As soon as I heard the words, I dropped the phone, threw open the truck door and took off down the ramp on foot If it was her I would be able to see from where I was
There were fire trucks, cop cars and ambulances everywhere I sao cars, one was s direction on the highway Neither car was CC’s There was an EMT walking back to the aed over to him
"Excuse me sir, are these the only two cars that were involved?" I asked slightly out of breath
He kept walking, so I followed him "Please sir, my fiancé never showed for her doctor’s appoint fro it over his shoulder before finally acknowledged me "Does she drive a White Mazda 3?"
I squeezed my eyes shut and sed down the lump in my throat Then I nodded "Her car rolled down the eet her to the hospital as soon as possible They’re landing a helicopter on the golf course and taking her to Cooper Hospital That’s all I can tell you" He hustled back towards the embankment
I was frozen I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe I stood there until the sound of a helicopter taking flight broughtsituation I looked around; there was no way I could get out of here with all this traffic I ran back toto CC one way or another I would push a car out of h roo the car in front of me I hopped the curb and turned the vehicle around, then drove passed all the cars trying to get on the ramp I fumbled around on the floor for my phone I needed to call Mason and Cooper and tell theht foot, I grabbed it and dialed Mason’s nu, "Was it her car?"
