Confirmed Fears

Just then, the screen turned to a picture of the woods near the high school, and the local officials investigating. After that, the camera went to a picture of the nearby hospital.

Casey couldn’t believe her eyes.
Could her brother really been one of the victims? Did her mom know about this?

The news reporter continued,
“It is currently unknown why the boys were in the woods, but they had evidently brought their bicycles with them. The bullies took off before they could be found, but the police are searching for any evidence which may lead to who the suspects are.
The boys, whose names are currently unidentifed, are being treated for major blood loss, broken limbs, and severe wounds. They should make an eventual recovery, and thier families will be contacted as soon as possible. Now to the weather report…”

Now, Casey’s heart was pounding in her ears. She hoped that it wasn’t her brother and that she was freaking out for nothing.

But then, a phonecall contradicted any chance of this.
