"Yes, we know," I said. "Late last night, Jessica's Dad was involved in acar crash and is very ill. Therefore, Jessica and Wendy have gone home.Their ...tudy partners have gone with them to provide help where they can.Tracy has also gone." Was Jessica okay?" asked Paula."She was very upset when we told her," I answered. "However, I'm surethat Sam, Yvonne and Tracy will look after them both."
