Cooper Coldson rushed over immediately after receiving a call from Melissa Greenwood.
"Cooper..." Melissa threw herself into his arms, "What should I do? I mistook the gas pedal for the brake, am I going to go to jail?"
Cooper frowned, pushed her away lightly, and looked her over. Seeing only some redness on her forehead, he asked, "Are you injured anywhere else?"
Melissa shook her head and pointed to the car across from her, "Cooper, why hasn't the driver come out yet? She... she's not dead, is she?"
The car across was clearly a small vehicle driven by a woman, and judging by the distance and damage to the cars, it was unlikely that there had been a fatality.
Cooper patted Melissa on the shoulder, "I'll go check."
"I'll come with you." Melissa carefully tugged on the hem of Cooper's shirt, following closely behind him.
The moment he pried open the car door, Cooper's head buzzed—he saw Yolanda Greenwood's pale face lying there, seemingly lifeless.
