While Liz was leaving her urgent voice mail, Dave was driving to the restaurant where he was meeting his friends for dinner and drinks. They were already up at the cabin, and they were all meeting for their customary Friday night dinner at Prop's Bar and Grill.

Because of the remote location of the lake where Dave's friends cabin was located, there were many areas along the way, where there was limited cell phone coverage. And Dave happened to be driving through one of those areas, just at the time Liz was calling.

As he pulled into the lot at Prop's, he saw his friends pickup already parked. Taking the spot next to it, Dave locked his SUV and hurried inside to join his friends for that beer that he was so thirsty for.

As soon as he pulled into the lot, his Blackberry suddenly picked up the signal from the restaurants complimentary wi-fi and emitted an audible voice mail alert tone.

Continuing inside the restaurant, Dave found his friends, greeted them all at the table that they had selected and then paused to check his phone. Opening his visual voice mail, he saw that the call had come from Liz.

It was unusual for her to call him during his fishing trip, so it was safe to assume that whatever she had called about was important.

Momentarily excusing himself from his friends, he hit the play button, put the phone to his ear and listened to the message.

Hearing the underlying sense of urgency in Liz's voice, and then hearing her say it was an emergency, he immediately excused himself and went back out to his car to call her.

Hurrying across the lot, he hit the button on his key fob and unlocked the door. Once behind the wheel, he dialed Liz's number and anxiously waited for her to answer.
