Bridger's P.O.V.

I was starting to think that Penny, and Lucas had the right idea. It had been an hour, and the tour still wasn't over. "I think I'll turn in for the night," I said, turning around to go back to my room.

"Me too; it's getting late," Kristin agreed. Kristin and I walked back to the rooms.

"I'm going to check in on the kids," Kristin informed, walking over to Penny's door and knocking on it. Kristin stood there for a minute. Then, she knocked again. Kristin sighed then turned towards me. I handed her the spare key cards to Penny, and Lucas's room. A couple seconds later, she walked back out.

"Uh, she's not in there," she said, "but, maybe she's with Lucas." She walked over to Lucas's door and knocked. Again, there was no answer. She opened the door, and walked into the room, and a second later she rushed back out again.

"He's not in there either," Kristin exclaimed, now frantic.

"Don't worry; they're probably in the cafeteria getting something to eat," I said. Kristin nodded her head.

"You're probably right," she responded, calming down. "I was just being silly."

I smiled and gave her a hug. Then, I walked into my room and shut the door. I walked over to my bed and lay down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep…

…I woke up to someone banging on my door. I got up and opened the door to see Kristin standing there.

"What is it?" I asked.

He didn't find out until a few minutes ago because the pods aren't hooked up to the alert system yet since they're not supposed to be in use. And, Lucas and Penny are still missing," Kristin exclaimed frantically once again.

"Give me a second to change," I said, shutting the door. I quickly changed, then walked out into the hall. I followed Kristin to a control room near the hotel entrance. Once there, we entered.

"When did the pod launch?" I asked.

"Sometime after Lucas and Penny said they were turning in for the night," the owner replied. I looked down at my watch.

"That was four hours ago," I said.

"How far could the pod have drifted since then?" Kristin asked.

"It depends on how fast the pod was going. But the pod wasn't built to go out into open water. If we don't find them soon, the pod could start filling up with water," the owner informed…
