Heidi (Part 2)

Was mom calling me?
My sister and I shared one of the upper level bedrooms. My parents had their room downstairs.
Dad was with Mom so why was I hearing her call me?
Now I was wider awake. A gut feeling that something was not right kicked in.
I left the bed and headed to the stairs.
"HEIDI!"
It was another chilling scream. I began to run.
Once at their bedroom I found Mom on the bed leaning over Dad.
She glanced up from her position over him. There was a look of terror in her eyes.
"Heidi what took you so long? Call the fire department. Dad's not breathing!"
My adrenalin began racing through me. I rushed to the kitchen and dialed their number.
After answering their questions and receiving some instructions to follow, I hung up and
headed to the front door to make sure the outside light was on.
Then I stepped outside to check. I glanced up at the sky, noticed the stars and  began to pray.
"Please God help my Dad."
It seemed like a very long time before the fire truck arrived.
I led the men to the bedroom, waiting a moment before racing upstairs to my brother's room.
"Roland," I yelled and shook him.
"Roland!"
He was not responding to my efforts to awaken him.
