I heard the earth before me start to shake, but it was farther off. I peeked from
My hiding spot and saw a trailer sinking into the soil. It was covered with solid
Unbreakable dirt. "Ssshshshshsh" someone again was coming but this time it was not Edgar.
I crawled into a ball and was like a rock hoping not to be heard. I was certain I
Would be found but the adolescent stopped and collapsed with grief a few yards from
Where I was hiding. She was crying with pain "no she can't be gone, ehhhh

A few minutes past and I saw a blur flash before me. It was Edgar. He was breathing really hard like he had only barely escaped certain death."

"Samuel he took the family to new York city."

Finally I said "it doesn't matter I am just glad you are safe." Changing the subject I said rushing. "We need to save Claire and her dad."
"I have an idea." Said a voice from behind us. It was Lauren.
