Silence ensued.
Not knowing what happened to Debbie, Megan was frightened. She pried the back off the phone, took out the SIM card and dumped it into the trash bin.
Under the water, Debbie tried to calm herself down. She had to save herself! She pried her white- knuckled hands off the steering wheel and covered her bleeding forehead. The water around the car was as black as ink. She picked up her phone, opened the flashlightand Looked for the Lifesaving hammer with the light.
