I was so shocked that my grip slackened, and the phone slipped from my fingers. I could feel my back break out in cold sweat.

I took several deep breaths to calm myself, then turned to check on my son. Fortunately, he was still sleeping soundly.

I carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed. I padded out of the room as quietly as I could and paused at the empty corridor.
