At that time Taylor was reading in bed. She thought it was somebody playing a joke. When she was going to hang up the phone, she heard a woman saying “Help! Help! ” From it Taylor thought something bad must have happened to the woman. After she got the woman’s name and address, Taylor called 911 at once. Then she tried to make Annie feel comfortable.
