Sara Was Still On The Phone
The officers kindly kept Elijah company and helped him calm down. He (and the police) were well entertained, and the five-year-old even forgot how upset he was before. But if the boy’s father or mother didn’t show up within a few hours, they would have to bring him to the station. Meanwhile, Sara was still listening in and comforting him from the phone. He had begun telling her about something he called “pizza spaghetti.” Sara had to hold back her tears—her colleagues noticed her beaming throughout the call.
