It was 3 a.m in a town in UK but Daniel Walker couldn't sleep because he had a terrible headache. He switched on his computer and logged into his favourite chat page. "Hello! Is anybody outside? My name's Daniel Walker." He typed. It was 10 pm in the USA. A woman answered Daniel's message. "Hi there! My name's Sarah Palmer" Suddenly, Daniel felt really dizzy and sick. "SOMETHING'S HAPPENING. I NEED HELP" Sarah was shocked. "Are you serious?", she asked. "Yes. Please, help me" , he answered, "What should I do know?" Sarah wondered.

Where are you? Sarah asked. "In Sheffield, UK.", Daniel typed, Sarah was still wondering whether it was a joke but, just in case, she had to do something. She called a Police operator in Sheffield

and gave Daniel's full name: "A man called Daniel Walker need your help. He lives in Sheffield. Something is wrong with him. Please, hurry up!" It was Sarah's lucky day. The Police agent knew Daniel and so he hurried up to Daniel's house. "Daniel, the Police is arriving at your house. Keep calm, please" Typed Sarah. But, this time, nobody answered the message. What happened to Daniel, then?

Daniel fainted, he was lying on the floor when the police officer got to his house. The policeman knocked at the door, but nobody opened, so he used all his strength to open the door. When the door was finally opened he saw Daniel lying next to the black leather sofa. The officer went closer to Daniel's chest and he realised his heart was beating, shouted Daniel's name and slapped his face, but he didn't answer. The policeman decided to phone for an ambulance: " A man needs your help, please hurry up, he is breading but doesn't wake up, his address is...

'...27 Smith Road. Please, come soon! Thank you!' Meanwhile, the woman behind the screen, Sarah was starting to worry about Daniel. She didn't know anything more about him, only his name and origin, but she has felt she was there to help. Obviously, She wasn't able to do it with her presence, since she was thousands km away, but maybe if she prayed for him, she could help him to feeling better. Sarah put her hands together and she started to visualize an image of this unknown man she had just got in touch to. For a moment she doubted and thought all this was a joke. 'Yes', what she had to do was to close the computer and go for a walk, but there was something inside her that prevent her to forget it...

She didn't know that back in the UK the ambulance had arrived and Daniel had come to whispering a word through his dry lips: " the milk, the milk, my neighbour". Daniel's wife was having an affair with Rick Joles, their next door neighbour. Maybe the had added something to the bottle of milk he had just eaten...

"What the hell...?! Shouted the doctor. He had been poisoned! Doctor Smith had never seen this kind of illness before...he was just a trainee and that man's like depended entirely on his hands. Meanwhile, Daniel was turning seriusly yellow. That substance had come to the liver and he knew that his live was seriously endangered. He asked the doctor for a favour: he wanted to thank Sarah before something worst happened. Doctor Smith agreed on Daniel's request, and so he gave the patient his own laptop. Daniel connected to the Internet, and there she was...

"Sarah, I just wanted to thank you for your help. I'm at the hospital right now and it seems something is going wrong..but I'm glad I had met you", typed Daniel. "Daniel! What's happening? Are you ok? Can I talk to the doctor please? I'm sure you are in good hands" Sarah said, thinking about how ridiculous her words seemed to be in that moment... Suddenly, Daniel's laptop switched off. She was so shocked that she stared at the screen for a long time, until she fall asleep.

"Sarah...are you there?", somebody typed. Sarah opened her eyes It was Daniel.

At that moment, both knew that a new friendship had just began.
