“Ayla, don’t go inside,” I begged. “I’m twenty minutes away.”

I heard a car door shut on the other end of the line. I knew she was going into the house.

“Ayla, stay out of there,” I yelled.

“Ayla,” I kept trying to get her attention.

“Theo,” she finally responded, “they’re not here. Something’s not right.”

Ayla cried out suddenly. I heard struggling sounds on the line.

“Ayla,” I yelled.

The call went quiet before cutting out.
