BREAKING POINT
Leaving the door open would mean that Penny could hear him the moment he woke and the vehicle the screaming was coming from was only a few metres away.
She didn’t hesitate to follow Joey.
"What’s wrong?" she heard him ask the woman. "I’m one of the doctors from the hospital"
A quick glance over his shoulder told him that Penny was right behind him. "And this is my friend, Penny"
"It’s Mia—my daughter." The woman straightened, turning to face Joey. "We were at the park and she fell out of a tree."
She tried, and failed, to stop her face crum-pling and a sob emerging. "There’s something wrong with her arm. I think she’s broken it."
