“Andrew, Sal was on the underground train at Liverpool Street. She was blown up by the first bomb…she’s in hospital…” is all he manages to say that I can understand, before he breaks down incoherently.

“What?” I shout back at him, jumping to my feet. “Guy, is she okay? Is she wounded? Will she be alright? Guy? Talk to me!”

“I...I don’t know...” He replies between gasps.

“How do you know it is her? Maybe it’s a mistake? Who told you?”

“Someone called me from her mobile a few minutes ago. It was a police officer…she was just trying to track down a next of kin…my number was the last number she called last night just before she went to bed.”

“Where is she? Is she going to be alright?” I ask, beginning to panic.

“The police-officer wouldn’t say. She just said she’s in a serious condition in intensive care, and that she would encourage the next of kin to go to the hospital as soon as possible. I told her that she is an only child and that her mother has got Alzheimer’s and that for all intents and purpose I was practically the next of kin…her mum doesn’t even know who Sal is anymore… Even if she did, the shock of this would kill her. When I told her that I was in New York, the policewoman asked if she had any friends in London that could identify her and come to the hospital. I told them you would go…You could go with Mandy if you want.”

“Me?...”I reply in surprise without thinking, but immediately regain control of myself. “Sure…absolutely…I’ll go straight away. I’ll go by myself. Mandy is in Berlin just now. She won’t be back till next week.”

“Andrew, as soon as you have seen her, you must call me okay? I need to know how she is. If it’s serious? Is she going to be okay…?” He starts to sob on the other end of the phone. “I love her so much! We’re meant to be getting married! Shit, I need to get a flight back home immediately. I’ve got to get to the hospital…”

“I don’t know if the planes are flying to the UK from the US just now. I think they may have stopped them…”

“If that’s true I’ll go via Canada…Andrew, take your mobile with you, so that I can speak to her when you get there. Tell her that I love her and that I’m coming home, okay?”

“Sure… Where is she?”

“The police officer told me that she was taken to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. She gave me a number to call…”

I take the number down. We speak for a little longer, with Guy struggling the whole time to prevent himself from crying again. He promises to call me back as soon as he knows when he will be getting back to London, and I promise to call him as soon as I have seen Sal. Then I call a taxi to go to the Royal London.
