"Policemen are here . someone took Leanne's baby. they are going to interview me," she said between breathlessness crying. "I need you, Andy. I'm frightened." "Barbara Please calm down. Who is Leanne, and why are you being questioned?" "I didn't get to tell you the story this morning. You were still asleep when I got home. I didn't want to bother you. I'll explain later. Please get a taxi and come help me," she pleaded. "There's some money for the taxi in the bottom drawer of my dresser-hidden under my jewelry box." "I'll be there as soon as I can. Now stop worrying. We'll talk about it." "The hospital is sealed off from anyone coming in. I'll try to get someone from administration to let you in. Please hurry, Andy." "I will.
