"It's been a long day," sighed Linda as she sat at her desk. She had sent Junior home already and was talking to Barbie. "I'm so tired."
"What did you expect? You do everything by yourself. The deputies never show up anymore," said Barbie.
"I have you and Junior to help me with work."
"Three people against a whole town? It doesn't actually work Linda."
"You're right. Lets go. We need some sleep if we're going to do this again tomorrow." And with that, Linda stood up and left.
At home, Linda cried herself to sleep for what felt like the millionth time since the dome came down. She missed Rusty. She hadn't spoken to him since she had told him about his brother's death three months ago, and there had been several more visitor's days. It wasn't long before a pounding noise woke Linda from her restless sleep. She looked out of her bedroom window to find a large group of people running past her house. Barbie was banging on her front door, though she couldn't hear it over the rest of the noise.
"LINDA!" shouted Barbie.
Linda shot out of bed and ran down the stairs to open the door for Barbie. He looked like he had been running.
"What's going on?" asked Linda.
"The dome's gone! Let's go!" Barbie grabbed hold of Linda's hand and set off with Linda stumbling along behind him.
A/N: I know this is a short chapter. The next one will be longer. :)
