Chapter 14
Above the desert
The helicopter turned away from the wildfire. They hadn't seen anyone in the area and if there were any people there, they wouldn't be able to help them anyway. Tamsyn sighed and hoped that her friends hadn't been going this way. She looked out through the window again. Then she saw them. There was some people down there who sat close to each other, it seemed like they had caught sight of the fire and given up.
"Stop!" She screamed and pointed them out. Tamsyn didn't know if it was her friends or someone else, but she was quite sure that they wanted to get out of this place.
I the woods
Lauren looked up when she heard a noise. When she saw the helicopter she first made a quiet sound with her mouth then she saw the logo on the helicopter Gamezone. She pushed Rob. He saw it too. The next moment everyone had jumped on their feet, except Rob who couldn't.
The helicopter landed, Tamsyn and Tom's family came out. Tamsyn gave Josh and Rob one big hug each. But Tom who had got his hope back interrupted her and told everyone to run back to the helicopter. Then he tried to lift Rob, but he didn't have any strengeth left.
Tom's dad lifted Rob up and ran back to the helicopter.
When they all were back in the helicopter again and Tom's mum had checked that everyone was there at least ten times, they flew away. Some seconds later they sat there watching the wildfire. The place were they had been sitting was on fire now. The entire forest was on fire. And they saw everything from above.
"We would have been fried by now if you hadn't arrived" Tom said. Lauren just mumbled something. Then Rob noticed that his parents weren't there.
"How did you get a helicopter from my parents company when none of them was here?" Tamsyn answered him.
"The helicopter they had on the police station had broke down and it was impossible to get another one that fast that we needed. And then I thought about your parents, I thought that they might have a private helicopter in the neighbourhood, so I called them and explained everything. They are on their way, by the way. And they have paid tickets for Josh's and Mitch's families and Allie too. They'll meet up with us when we come back to Perth.
Rob just smiled and looked out over the wildfire again. Tom, Mitch, Josh and Lauren had fallen asleep. It was the first time in weeks that they had felt safe enough to sleep so no one tried to wake them up. Finally Rob fell asleep too. And the helicopter flew on towards Perth.
The End
