The ride to the hospital seemed longer than usual for Erica, who kept biting her fingernails and her eyes fixed on Abby.
The paramedic had been kind enough to give her a coat, which she wrapped over her shoulders. The words she was right all these years kept ringing in her head. She was a bit late, but she was right for over twelve years while everyone thought she had an obsession and never took her seriously.
She wiped her tears and looked over at Faith, who was still clinging to her mother despite the fact that she had stopped crying. She could only guess it was the suffocating boot that had made her restless.
The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital, which they found swamped with reporters and news crews. Word had already gone around, and the place was totally swamped. The ambulance had to force its way through the crowd that kept trying to get a glimpse of Abby.
