“Who died, Ma? I’m trying to get Holly home.”

“It’s Parker,” she was sobbing into the receiver and my breath caught in my lungs, “He’s overdosed. He was partying with some friends early this morning and they all thought he fell asleep. The police won’t tell me anything more than that.”

I stood in the middle of the parking lot in shock listening to her cry on the other end of the line.

“Is he alive?” I whispered.

“I’m sorry honey,” she said through gasping breaths, “I couldn’t hear you.”

“Is he alive?” I asked again, almost yelling the words into the phone.

“He’s in an ambulance right now on the way to L.A. General.”

“I’m already in the parking lot,” an ambulance came tearing around the corner and up to the entrance to the Emergency Room, “They just pulled in, Ma. I’ll see you when you get here.”

“Get her home!” I tossed my keys to Becks and ran back toward the hospital.

I had a feeling I was about to witness the downfall of the Dick Dynasty.
