After half an hour of talking Sarah and sue emerged both blotchy eyed and now both laughing.
'I'm sorry I made you cry sue' said Sarah giving her surrogate sister a hug
'No biggy, what time is it?' she said looking down at her watch.
'Dammit, we're gonna be late, come on get the silver suit thing, you can put it on in the shuttle' sue grabbed a couple of bags and Sarah jump suit.
'Here take this' she said indicating the duffle bag in the corner.
'Whoa, what's it got in it, bricks?' lifting it and putting it on her shoulder.
'Come on!' they ran down the halls towards the shuttle (sorry just a funny thought. What if it left without them! The fantastic 3? Doesn't have that ring to it does it?)
They reached the elevator just as the boys were getting in. sue turned and saw Sarah take out her lap top in the middle of the corridor what is she doing? Then she saw her give it to a man and walk away.
'What was that about? Too much to carry?' sue said laughing
'No I'm not weak. I gave it to him and told him to dispose of it, Jordan gave it to me and I don't want anything to do with him. After this trip it's a new beginning new hope, everything will be forgotten and it will all be new.' She gave sue a brief smile then together they entered the elevator.'
Sarah leaned close to Jonny and whispered 'when we get back you and me are going clubbing!' Jonny smiled and nodded maybe there is a chance for us he thought.
They landed in the space station and unloaded all that needed to be unloaded.
Sarah looked of the window and was amazed by what she saw. The stars were so clear and she could see the whole of America, the oceans and more. She was so in awe her aqua blue eyes filled with wonder.
Jonny came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.
'Can you see your house from here?' she laughed, he always knew how to make her laugh, even in the hardest times. She didn't know why she couldn't forgive him.
'Come on, don't you have to prep the big guy for flower arranging?' he looked at her, with his look.
'See this is why I always liked you. You always knew how to insult people in the nicest way possible.' Sarah laughed looking at the floor; she tried hard to conceal her disappointment was that the only reason you liked me? She looked into his eyes. He saw she was full of sadness, but didn't question it.
'I better go prep the big guy. I'll see ya later ok?' he said walking backwards.
'Count on it' Sarah gave him a small wave and walked in the opposite direction.
Sarah walked down the corridor and saw sue and victor talking I better not disturb them. She thought continuing down to where reed was sitting.
'hey' she said quietly
'Hey yourself. What are you doing in this neck of the woods?' reed said. Sarah laughed at his dorkish ways.
'Nothing I just wanted to see what you were doing. Besides you were the only one that was free so I decided to come see you.' She didn't tell him that she really wanted to see sue. That would be mean.
Reed laughed, just as he was about to reply the screen behind him beeped. Sarah read the screen, 00:09:32, 00:09:31well that can't be good. She read lower down the screen
ETA to cosmic event. Shit.
'Reed? You know that storm is it, you know dangerous at all?'
'It's deadly. But we'll be safe behind the shields of the station. Hopefully. But we have around 7 hours to work that out.'
Sarah gave a nervous laugh
'No we don't' she said pointing to the screen.
Sarah and reed looked at each other and ran
'Go and get Ben reeled in and I'll tell victor. We have to hurry.'
'Got it' Sarah ran down the corridor and as she turned the corner she saw the storm she started running, never had he ran that fast. But this was life or death. She ran and ran till she got to the portal.
'What's the rush?' said Jonny who was near the locking mechanism
'Reel Ben in, now. The storm will hit in 5 minutes. That storm will kill Ben.'
Sarah put her hand up to her ear piece 'Ben you need to get inside NOW I'm not joking.'
'But I ain't finished arranging egg heads flowers isn't that important?' Ben laughed
'BEN I DO NOT CARE I AM TELLING YOU TO GET INSIDE OTHER WISE YOU WILL DIE. THERE IS A STORM OUT THERE THAT WILL KILL YOU INDEFINATLY AND IT WILL HIT IN ABOUT £ MINUTES NOW JUS GET INSIDE!'
Sarah watched as the storm consumed the station and as Ben jumped fro his life then all she saw was Jonny Ben and reed engulfed in light then…………
