Later that night, Maureen’s fiancé noticed Debbie’s car still parked outside, with her still in it, and an ambulance beside it. He quickly realized something was wrong and told Maureen. She called her dad at once and told him to come quickly. At that point, they didn’t know what had happened as the medics couldn’t tell them anything.
When her dad arrived, they got in the car and followed the ambulance to the hospital, which was just a three-minute drive. They didn’t talk much during the ride. Looking back, Maureen thought they both sensed the impending truth.
