Toby and Linden were there, watching and listening, frozen with fear as the doctors rushed around. Shouts of "clear" went up and the body of the girl on the bed jerked like a puppet with its strings cut loose as the volts of electricity ran through her. But it was hopeless, and a few minutes later the time of death was announced-- 3:39am.

But they didn't hear it over the sound of the flat line that resonated in their ears.
