The message was not a joke. "Susan Hicks" was actually 20-year-old taija laitinen,a student working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland-almost 7,000 miles away from Sean's home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. What could she do? The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn't move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse.
