Ch 2.
The Event
They all arrived at the auditorium and the formal event went smoothly. They had honored and given an award to a former colleague of Charlie's who finally found the answer to a difficult math problem that he had been working on for a long time.
After the event, everyone gathered at the Eppes' house for the party. Everyone was having a good time talking amongst him or herself. A few minutes later, they ate and continued talking to one another.
At one point Elizabeth walked hurriedly down the lawn because she had noticed Charlie was walking toward something.
"Charlie."
He turned around just in time because at that moment, he saw Elizabeth stumble forward and falling toward the ground. She did hit her head on something but he caught her a second after.
She must've tripped over a rock or something while wearing her heels, he thought to himself as he laid her down gently on the grass.
Then he ran as fast as he could up the wooden steps and into the room where his friends and family members were. Then he casually walked over to them and explained the situation to them. Then he led them down to where Elizabeth's unconscious form was.
Then Don whipped out his cell phone and dialed 911 and he told them what happened. Pretty soon, they along with everyone else, heard sirens in the distance. Then they got nearer to the house and eventually the paramedics found Elizabeth and began doing their jobs. After a few seconds, she was on her way to the hospital and everyone followed in his or her cars.
