Dead by dawn

When the good doctor had relaxed and regained his bearings, He took charge. The storm was upon them now.

"Hurry no time to loose we need to get to the hanger." Dr. Manny lead the way. It was not far from where they where leaving the cars. "Mr. Shotto call the other workers to the hanger. We all need to find higher ground."

"Yes Sir." and the man was gone. Dr. Manny opened the massive door to a huge cavernous building. Around the sides where steel staircases. In the cat walks here and there was small closed in rooms. Around the top was a ledge that went all the way around the building. The main color was gray and dirty silver. The lights where bright, family glaring.

"Hurry up into the catwalks." Dr. Manny said as he started up. and Phin close behind. Aya pulled Yohji over to the left and went up the other side of the hanger. Omi skipped after them. Ken stood for a moment sulking. Why did Yohji always win out over him. Had he missed something. Kendra saw that her Ken wasn't happy. Well as happy as one could be with the weather and the shark infestation. It all seem to hinge around the tall blonde her brother had taken a liking to. She would foot note this to herself for further information.

"Ken come on." she took his hand. He bulked for a second then followed Kendra and Kendy up in to the rafters. The door on the left opened and in came the remaining workers. You could hear the wind whipping around the hanger out side. The rain pinged on the roof.

"Don't worry this place was built to last." This old proffer looking guy said. He had a young girl with him that reminded you of Kendra and Kendy.

"Sir. Did you help build this place?" Dr. Grace fumed to herself that Omi boy asked to many questions. Why hadn't the sharks taken him instead of Flame.

"Yes I helped with the plans. I got the good Dr. Manny to come work for me here."

"Sorry. Let me introduce Dr. Timms and Kendell. Dr. Timms this is:

Gunner

Sandy

Captain Mac

Aya

Yohji

Omi

and Ken."

"Hello, welcome to my factory. Wish things could be under nicer conditions. I see that you've meet most of my family, But where is Kenneth?"

"Oh, Poppa. I'm afraid he didn't make it. The sharks got him." Kenny told his Grandfather.

"To bad." Omi thought it was weird that no one was crying or putting up a fuss something. This family has no emotions to speak of. "If you don't mind I would like to take the remaining family members to my office. Come on Kenny, Kendra, Kendy and Kendell." he turned and walked off to the right. The rest of them followed behind.

"See you later Ken."

There was a small platform high up in the rafters that Aya had claimed as theirs. He set up headquarters here. They took turns watching and resting. Omi had gone and gotten food for them, when one of the workers called. Gunner and his team had also pick a platform to work from. If things did turn bad, not being trapped in a room was good. Most of the evening into the night was quiet. Some of the women workers whined about the weather. Yohji had snuggle up to Aya for warmth. Aya put arm around him and pulled him closer. Yohji was sleeping soundly and Omi was dozing when the doors bursted open. Water gushed up to the second level. Soon the shark fins could be seen. Aya jumping up woke Yohji and Omi.

"What caused the doors to give?" It was Mr. Shotto. Soon the place was abuzz with the sound of confused people. The water below them seem to be rising. People where now screaming.

"NOW! Please calm down. No need to act foolish. The water can't get higher then the ocean. So get yourselves up higher. Be careful." The crowd seem to take the Old inceptions with no questions asked. They just obeyed. " Come on now everyone on to the ledge at the top." He lead the way. Even Dr. Manny and Dr. Grace went with him. Phin wasn't far behind her boss.

"Come on guys lets go." Omi started up. Ken was right behind him. Kendy and Kendra hurried to caught up with them. In Her rush to be with Ken she ran into Yohji. Kendra slipped on the wet metal and this made her bump Yohjis legs. He lost his footing. Yohji hit the railing as he fell over. Luckily he had put his gloves on so his grip was holding on the wet rail. Kendy screamed this caused Kenny to stop and turn around witch caused a traffic jam. The cat walked shook from the weight of swaying people.

"Hold On!" Aya shouted as he tried to get to Yohji. Omi turned and was coming from the other way. Kendy reached down to get Kendra up. Kendra tried to get up, but slipped a second time falling on her fount side. The upper part of Kendra was over the catwalk floor. She would of fallen off if Yohji hadn't pushed her back. This did require him to use one hand. Yohji was now holding on with one hand. Yohji knew his time was short.

"Aya, Aya, I do...............Oh....Shitt......" Yohji lost his grip, down into the swirling water he plunged.

"YOHJI NOOO!!!" Aya didn't think he followed his heart into the abyss.
