“Wait-Mom! You need to call Emily’s mom! Or call the police! Please now, Emily needs help now! They’re going to kill her! I know they’ll do it! Mom, call now!” Dana shouted, tearing at all of the tubes that kept her attached to her bed.

“Honey, calm down. What do you mean they’ll kill her? Who is they?” Mrs. Poole said, grabbing her hands away.

“They’ll do it! Mom, call now! Call now! They’re evil!” she yelled, all of her words jumbling together.

“Just breathe, honey. And explain,” her mom said, holding her hands down. “Nurse!” she called out the door. “What medicine do you have my daughter on?”

“Mom, listen! It was a man and a woman! They’re from the Wonderball-they came out-they took her, they said they’re killing people! You need to help her!” Dana yelled, trying to free herself.

Just then, from the corner, the Wonderball began to click and whir. On it’s tiny screen, 6 words slowly popped up, “Don’t…call…police…or…she…dies.”
