Chapter 27: Static
I called nine more times before I made myself stop.
Then I walked back inside to my desk and sat down and put my headset on.
I had a county to run until seven.
I ran it.
A tree on a line in Ross.
A blown fuse in Carrick.
I didn't make one mistake, and I don't remember a single call.

"You're a dispatcher," she said.
"Channel four. Pittsburgh."
"Then you know I'm going to do everything I can and it won't be enough."
