Danny lay under rubble in his house. He pushed dry wall off himself. He was covered in dust and rubble.

"Miss?" he coughed. Looked up and instead of his white ceiling he saw the bright blue of the African sky.

"On my god!" he whispered. The plane had literally ripped off the roof. At least Ryan was safe out of here! Now he had to find….

"Melissa!" he yelled standing up. She was so gonna slap him for that when she saw him. He looked around and saw timber and bricks litter every inch of the floor. He climbed over it and called for Missy constantly. His voice growing with pitch and panic when she didn't answer. The seconds turned into minutes and still no reply. He started to fear the worst. What if a brick fell on her head. What if a wooden beam impaled her? He felt sick at the thought. He just got her back. He couldn't lose her! He walked into Ryan's room and saw that miraculously it hadn't been touched. The roof remained and not thing was out of place. It was a mess but that was normal for Ry. Then he walked into his and Missy's room. It looked like a tornado had torn though here. Usually this place was neat as a pin. Missy couldn't abide mess. Said it made her feel like her brain was all over. Messy bedroom messy mind! There was dust and debris everywhere. The wardrobe had fell over. Clothes were scattered over the floor. His heart stopped when he saw that a sharp piece of wood had impaled the bed exactly where he and Missy curled up together. He exhaled. He then heard an angry voice. Relief filled every pore of his body.

"Move! Freaking stupid heavy….dammit stop crushing me!" she squeaked.

"MISS!" he declared.

"I'm trapped under this stupid freaking wardrobe. I tried to come when you call and I heard a crash then the wardrobe fell on me!"

Danny began pulling debris off the wardrobe.

"You sir have too many clothes although they do smell nice." she told him. Coughed.

"Me?" he asked picking up the wardrobe. He caught sight of her.

Her jaw dropped. "Danny where in the hell is our roof?" she asked in shock.

"On the floor." he answered.

"Ha ha no really." she said dryly.

He offered his hand and pulled her into his arms. "Thank God your ok." he whispered. "I was so worried that a rock killed you. Or maybe a spike impaled you." he shook his head and caressed her cheek.

"I survived a heart attack danny. A wardrobe wasn't gonna touch me!" she said cockily.

"What about a plane?" he asked seriously. Pressed a kiss to her temple.

"No way! A plane flew into the house?"

He nodded.

He saw her face change and she began to panic. "Ryan?"

"I told him to run to Lexi's. He's fine."

Something made them look out of the window towards Lexi's house. They noticed upended trees and a path of destruction that was aimed directly towards mini Leopards Den. They looked at each other in horror and began to quickly stumble over debris in their haste to get to Lexi's. The whole time wishing that everyone had made it out safe.

"Get in the truck now!" Lexi yelled over the roar of the airplane crashing into her dad's house. There was a high pitched squeal of the aeroplanes engines. The roaring of bricks and timber being torn from their joists and left to fall to the floor. She could swear she could hear her dad and Missy taking their final breath! Dammit Lexi don't think just move!

Both kids hopped in. Before the door was shut the truck roared to life. The wheels spewed gravel and she was off.

"Hold on tight kids!" she yelled over the noise.

Ryan pulled his phone out and began to record the plane.

"It just flipped!" EJ declared.

"It's trying to miss the house!" Ryan declared.

The trick was bouncing over pot holes and dips. Lexi had all her concentration trying to keep them moving she pressed her foot harder on the accelerator even though it was already on the floor.

"Dammit it just hit the house!" Ryan shouted.

"Mum can you go any faster?" EJ asked a dust cloud was following threatening to engulf them. Suddenly it did and Lexi was driving blind. "Put your shirt over your mouth!" she coughed violently. "Try not to inhale the dust!"" Lexi yelled and concentrated. She could do this! She had drove this trial millions of times! she drove on and the dust cloud passed her. Ryan and EJ sat and stared in shock. Ryan had recorded as long as he could but they were soon out of sight.

"Kids we're safe now!" she promised.

An explosion ripped through the bush.

"Whoa!" EJ and Ryan declared.

She pulled the truck to a stop and tried to calm her pounding heart. Her hands shook. Covered her eyes with her hand. If Ryan hadn't came running screaming about a plane she and EJ would have been in there! The thought stole the air from her lungs.

"Lexi the plane hit dad's!" Ryan panicked. "I heard it!"

"Look Ry don't worry. Dad and Miss would have got out. They'll be fine ok." she assured. Then prayed. Please be ok dad. Miss.

A silence fell. 3 people lost in their own thoughts. Lexi thought of her own mortality and her dad and Miss. Ryan worried and stressed over his parents and EJ pondered the plane. Second ticked into minutes.

"Right I'm gonna get mum!" Ryan declared standing up.

"Ryan dad will come when it is safe!" Lexi told him.

"Lexi the roof fell on them! He and mum could be lying under rubble and dying as we speak!"

"I agree!" EJ said. "We gotta help them!"

"LOOK! Both of you!" Lexi began.

"You don't tell me what to do Lexi!" Ryan spat. "You might not care but I do. I love mum and dad! We lost Amie and Zoey and Ethan. I am not losing anyone else ok!" he jumped out of the truck and walked in the direction of his house.

"He's right mum. Granddad and Miss are in there! We gotta try!"

She nodded and started the truck. Swung it around. Drove up behind Ryan. "You do as I tell you Ry! You don't go in the house. We look around and phone the…." she frowned at the thought of Ethan. "Phone the fire brigade ok!"

Ryan nodded and climbed in the truck.

"Just like your mother. No sense of self preservation at all!" Lexi muttered.

"When it comes to family there is no choice. You do it regardless of if you hurt yourself! End of!" Ryan told her seriously.

"And now you sound like dad. You got the best of both worlds. You're an equal division of both of them. Your great! Dad's loyalty and Missy's bravery!" or plain stupidity! she added silently.

Ryan looked out at the African bush and thought of his parents. And the plane that came down. Who would fly a plane at them?

"We'll stop off at mini Leopards Den see if dad and Miss are there ok?" Lexi told him.

(X)

When they arrived at Mini Leopards Den they all gasped. Saw the gutted black shell of a plane smouldering. It was rested where the right side of the house used to be. The plane had taken out half of the house.

"Jesus Christ!" Lexi exclaimed.

It was obvious that the house had burned hot and fast. They saw body lying near to the house. Broken and bleeding.

"Ryan, EJ stay in the truck!" she said sternly. "I'm gonna help him!" she then launched from her seat and jogged over. Saw when she approached it was a man. Grabbed his hands and pulled him across the dusty ground. She looked up and saw that her entire kitchen was gone. Her bedroom was gone. Lets face it the entire left side of her house was freaking rubble - Again! This was just pure bullshit! God why she was bothering to help this guy was beyond her. Thanks to him she and her son were homeless! She knew deep down why, her job was to help people. It was like a part of her, she couldn't sit by and let someone be hurt or in pain. Even if the guy had flew a plane into 2 houses! She exhaled. Soon had him beside the truck. EJ and Ryan looked down at him curiously.

"EJ." she prompted.

He tossed her the first aid kit from under the seat.

"Ryan."

"I've already phoned both an ambulance and the fire brigade." he said and twitched in his seat. While Lexi helped this guy his mum and dad could be dying!

She nodded. Opened the first aid kit and looked at her meagre supplies.

"It'll have to do!" she murmured.

Lexi cleaned the man up as best she could. Then poured water into his mouth. His pulse was very very slow. She had no way of telling if his pupils were blown. Where's this ambulance? She thought.

"Sir. Can you hear me?" she asked slowly and clearly. She had no idea if he even spoke English!

"Sir I'm a paramedic. If you can hear me squeeze my hand!"

The man suddenly let out an almighty groan. "Argh!" tried to roll into the foetal position. A protective pose she knew. He was too weak to even roll.

"Sir, sir! I'm Lexi. Can you tell me your name?"

His eyes rolled. "Trev!" he murmured. Moved his head slightly. Looked at her. "Help Trev!"

"Yes Trev. I'm helping you ok!" Lexi assured.

He muttered Trev slowly and continuously. It grew weaker and weaker so that by the need it was barely a whisper. He was barely incoherent. He slipped back into unconsciousness. Ryan sat frowning angrily. Tapping his hands impatiently.

"Mum isn't it weird that he spoke about himself in the third person?" EJ pondered out loud.

"EJ son don't distract me right now?"

"But it is!" he stressed. "There might be another person. A man named Trev!"

"If there was he would be with him. He's probably concussed son! Maybe worse. His body is on the verge of shutting down!"

Ryan throughout this time finally reached the end of his patience.

"Can you just let him die and come and help mum and dad?" he fumed.

"Ryan!" she warned.

"Well he flew a plane into the house and your helping him meanwhile mum and dad could be dead. If they are fine then why aren't they here yet?" he asked standing up.

"Ryan no! You dare and I swear…."

"I'm going to get mum and ad!" he yelled jumped out of the truck and ran off.

"Dammit Ryan!" she got up. The man started fitting. She looked at Ryan jogging off and then at the man. Grunted in frustration and dropped to her knees.

"I'll go after him mum!" EJ suggested.

"NO! stay where you are!" she told him sternly.

(X)

The ambulance had arrived and the man was stabilised. A minute later an anxious looking Danny and Missy ran around the corner at full speed. Missy was yelling their names. Her dad ran to her and engulfed her in a massive hug.

"God Lex I was so worried." he then glanced at her house and paled.

Missy looked around, then at the house. "Lex where's Ryan?" her voice shook with fear.

"Miss, he isn't in there. He ran off towards yours saying he needed to help you and dad." she said.

"And you let him?" Missy shrieked.

Lexi was telling her final observations to the ambulance technician. "Miss he went into cardiac arrest!" Lexi explained.

"This is all HIS fault. You should have stopped your brother then saved him!"

"Miss Ry is a good kid." Danny soothed. She pulled out of his arms.

"I'm going to find my son!" Missy sprinted in the direction of Leopard's Den. Danny watched her go. Fought the urge to run after her. One of them had to behave rationally.

"It's a good thing Daniel and Amy are at the auction huh dad?" Lexi asked as the man was put in the back of the ambulance.

He nodded and looked at the blackened ruins of his daughters house. It seemed the world was determined to take them all away. One by one. Luckily it hadn't succeeded in taking any of his family this time! There was still a chance though. Missy when panicked didn't exactly think rationally.

"Look Lex…."

"Go on, find Ryan and Miss." she told him. "We'll come too."

He nodded.

"You and Miss need checked over thoroughly! By a doctor or paramedic!" she hinted.

"I'll make sure she lets you ok?" he asked.

She nodded and they climbed in the truck.
