Something might have come up.

Alan and his two other friends Robyn and Scottie have a meeting. They have all arrived except for Alan. Robyn and Scottie are a little worried....

Robyn:

Has Alan shown up yet?

Scottie:

Nope. I guess something might have come up.

Robyn:

I wonder what happened.

Scottie:

I don't know. I hope it's nothing serious.

Robyn:

Last week his sister was admitted to the hospital.

Scottie:

Oh? What happened?

Robyn:

His sister had a car accident last week.

Scottie:

Is she fine now?

Robyn:

She's still in a coma.

Scottie:

Oh, poor Alan. His sister is the only he has left since his parents died last year.
