Who said...hello? I don't see a telephone anywhere. Are you...are you the operator, Lacey? My name is Hannah. Teddy is my son. Please excuse me.
[fainter] Mary Ruth, take everyone next door please. I'll be there soon.
[louder again] I'm sorry. My children and I seem to be very lost. What happened to the shopkeepers? We haven't seen a single living soul.
