清晨5點的紫藤郡電話響起。從第一聲電話鈴響起，每個人都知道有事發生了。這是郊區一條不成文規定，半夜別給鄰居打電話。除非是壞消息。
所以他們來了，帶著沒有梳的秀髮，未上妝的臉頰。他們來的原因是，在這麼多年以後，他們已不僅僅是鄰居而已。
你們怎麼會在這兒？
我們聽說雷克斯心臟病發作，他現在怎麼啦？
情況很穩定，不過他們說必須置入心臟起搏器，所以他們在準備手術。
你們怎麼知道的。
丹妮爾打電話過來。
你怎麼樣？
我們在吵架，他突然心臟病發作了。我很內疚，因為我本該更及時把他送到這兒。
親愛的，這裡的醫生醫術高明。
是呀，他還那麼年輕，很快就會好起來的。
你沒什麼可擔心的。
你們知道嗎？你們能來，我很高興，真的。但我正努力讓自己堅強起來，所以如果你們繼續安慰我，
你會崩潰的。
那我們就不安慰你了。
謝謝。
那我們來說點不那麼緊張的事情吧。
我想到了。我在麥克的雜物裡找到了胡博太太的日記。她知道了瑪麗.艾莉絲的秘密，並且勒索她。
是呀，這話題不緊張。
