The car was pretty crunched, but Alex wasn’t badly injured.” “Where is he now?” Nancy questioned. “At the emergency room at Buckley General Hospital,” Kara answered. “Apparently he was hurt badly enough to need an exam. . . .” “It’s probably just routine,” Ned said, a comforting arm around her shoulder. “Ned’s right,” Logan put in. “I’m sure Alex is fine.” “Right,” Kara said, trying to sound cheerful. “Where’s the car?” Nancy asked. “They’ve towed it to a garage,” Kara answered, pulling a piece of paper from her pocket. “Frank’s Auto Body, on Route Four-ten.” “I’ll call to check on the car,” Nancy said. “So you won’t have to worry about that.” “Great. I’m driving over to Buckley to pick up Alex,” Kara continued. “Could you pick Allison up at preschool, Logan?”
