The boys had been in the well for well over 45 minutes. James had gone into hypothermia and Logan was clinging to James trying to keep him from going into shock and keep himself warm. They had never had something like this happen. The bottom of the well was filled with sand so they had somewhat of a soft landing. However they missed the sharp rocks at the bottom by mere inches.

"We got to find someone that can help!" Carlos yelled.

"Who Carlos! Who!"

"Don't give me attitude!"

Kendal was about to open his mouth when his mom appeared up behind him. The fireman who originally saved them, had found them as he was leaving and gave them a lift.

"Oh my god! I'm so freaking glad you guys are ok!" She said.

"Wait why are you guys staring at a hole and where are Logan and James?" Katie asked.

"Well…" Kendal started.

"Dear God! Are Logan and James…?" She stopped and looked down the hole.

"Hi Misses Knight!" Logan yelled.

She screamed in horror and jumped back.

"Are you guys ok?" Katie asked.

"NO! James has gone into shock and is completely unresponsive!" Logan yelled

Katie gasped and then looked back down and yelled "Logan are you ok?"

He didn't answer back.

"Logan!" Kendal yelled.

"LOGAN!" Carlos cried.

Carlos started to hyperventilate again.

"I swear to god! Carlos if you pass back out I will kick you down the freaking hole!"

It didn't matter Carlos had already hit the pavement!

"This is his 5th time doing that!" Kendal yelled.

"I think he's sick big brother." Katie said

It hadn't occurred to Kendal that Carlos could've been ill. He was starting to worry about him. His head was starting to hurt. Three of his friends were hurt and he was beginning to feel overwhelmed.

"Over here! Over here!" Yelled Ms, Knight.

The fireman came running over.

"What happened?" He yelled.

"What do you think?" Kendal yelled without thinking.

He was starting to panic.

"Don't mind him… He's had a rough day. Logan and James are down the well and Carlos is unconscious." Katie said.

"Damn… How far down are they? Lay Carlos over there." The fireman said pointing to the couch.

"Logan said there about 100 feet down." Kendal said

"Wow, Well most of our equipment was wiped out during the tornado. But we have one fire truck stocked with supplies and I think he have a tripod pulley…" He said.

Kendal's face went from pale to ghost white.

"LOGAN! JAMES! GUYS! "He yelled frantically.

Nothing came back. Kendal started to fear that Logan had gone into shock also. Suddenly he was surrounded by people. He had been so focused on Carlos and the hole that he didn't notice the crowd surrounding him.

"I'm going to need everyone to stay ten feet back for your safety. The ground isn't very stable." He said

And with that everyone backed up. A little girl saw Carlos on the ground.

"IS HE DEAD! " She shrieked.

"No. No. No. No, he's just passed out." Kendal frantically yelled.

The little girl buried her head into her dads shoulder crying.

Two men stepped forward offering assistance. He fireman nodded his head and the two walked over. Kendal was looking at the ground mumbling to himself.

"None of this would ever of happened if I had just stuck with the plan to be Mercedes boyfriend! I'm so freaking stupid!"

And with that Kendal dropped to his knees crying. Suddenly he was lifted up and carried over to a sofa that had been blown into the street by the tornado. He laid there with Carlos. Crying, he reached over to feel Carlos pulse. There was no pulse.

"SIR! Carlos isn't breathing!" Kendal yelled frantically.

The two men whipped around and ran over!

"Hurry! We haven't got much time! I will start CPR! I need you two to get three more volunteers to help get the other boys out!" He said quickly

Without even asking four men and three women stepped forward to help. The fireman and one man started CPR on Carlos while the others set up the tripod.

"I need someone to get into the harness and go down there and pull each of them up. One at a time!" The lady yelled.

One man stepped forward.

"I need someone without any family. I hate to ask this but because of the circumstances. I can not allow someone with a family to be lowered down. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something were to happen and you left your family behind."

The man shook his head and stepped back. One man raised his hand. He had brown short hair and looked to be only twenty-five.

The lady nodded her head and hooked the man up the harness. Inch by inch they lowered him down into the hole. They suddenly couldn't hang on and the cable slipped. The man plummeted thirty feet to the bottom!

"I'm ok! They are breathing but are not respondent! The long haired boy barely has a pulse!"

Suddenly there was screaming. They all took there eyes off of the hole and onto Carlos.

"He's alive! Quickly go to the truck and get the oxygen!"

A lady ran over to the fire truck and retrieved the oxygen.

"Its not going to work! His throat is swelled shut! Get the first aid kit!" He yelled.

She grabbed the first aid kit and ran back. The fireman opened Carlos' Mouth and slid the tube down his throat, opening his airway. He placed the oxygen mask over his face and looked up at the crowd.

"He's ok!" He yelled.

"Oh thank god!" The little girl said.

Kendal's face was pure white. His leg hurt so bad and he was starting to think that his friends wouldn't make it.

The ladies turned he attention back to the hole.

"Get yourself hooked up to the other one. Here's the extra harness!" She said while throwing it down.

"Ouch! Couldn't you of handed that to me before I went down!"

"This is no time for sarcasm! Hook that up to one of the boys and hang on." She said.

Kendal sat there thinking to himself. He had never seen a town were everyone helped each other. They had only been here for a day and everyone was acting like they were family. He looked over at his mom who was just sitting on the ground sobbing with Katie trying to calm her down. Tears streamed down Kendal's face. Everyone started yelling.

"OK! Got him latched!" The man in the hole yelled.

"OK ready everyone! One… Two… Three… PULL!"
