"What's going on outside?"
"A riot. Don't go out yet. Let's hide here for a bit." Evelyn Ford checked Wendy's condition. Red spots had already appeared on her face, neck, and arms.
"It really is an allergic reaction. I have antibiotics here. Have her take one for now. The allergy shouldn't be a problem."
Officer Graham was relieved. Evelyn introduced everyone. Dr. Miller had recovered from his shock, but Serena Lynch was still shaken.
"Chase Underwood must be worried sick about me. It's all my fault. If I had just listened to him and rested for two days, I wouldn't be trapped here." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
No one knew how to comfort her, but Evelyn shushed her, telling her to be quiet.
"Don't attract the attention of the people outside."
Serena Lynch quickly covered her mouth and nodded, then whispered, "Sorry."
