“Who is this?” said Jessica, gasping down the phone. “Blood, blood, my stomach, my head.” Someone had rang Jessica. “Excuse me. Hello, Are you alright?” The phone went dead. Jessica used ring back on her phone. She picked up David her friend's mobile number. She rang his number but no one picked up. She hurried down the stairs and ran out the front door.
