Closed - Plot: Mistaken Identity
(Shortly after Gayle's voice message)

He got Gayle's message and was racing to the hospital. Or trying to. It seemed every step out of the coffee shop, someone stopped him and asked him for an autograph. At the corner where he tried to hail a taxi, a group of teen-aged girls surrounded him, shrieking and squealing incoherently.

When he finally managed to get a cab, the driver gave him gushing reviews for his part in his latest film.

Eventually, he used it in his favor. They were stopped at a red light next to a motorcycle cop. Alex rolled down his window, watched as the policeman's eyes widened and then explained that his best friend had just been taken to the hospital, traffic was horrible and ...

He didn't need to say anymore, the cop darted in front of the cab and turned on the siren.
