Day 12 – Since the Chopper went Missing – (8:44am) 11 hours and 1 minute later…

Summer Bay – Yabbie Creek - Northern Districts Hospital – Rachel's Room

"Wait hang on, the search is back on?" Rachel asked her brother.

"Yeah, Leah told me last night. Apparently, Amanda had some sort of feeling." Brad replied as he sat on the edge of the hospital bed.

"What feeling?"

"That's all I know; Leah was pretty vague, but they are definitely resuming the search."

"But I thought money was an issue."

"Apparently, they've got enough money to scrap together for another 24 hours. Beyond that who knows." Brad informs her.

Rachel then quizzes her brother about her nephew: "Do you really think that Xavier could still be alive out there?"

Meanwhile…

In the Middle of the Bush – With Xavier and Colby

The heat from the morning sun shines on Colby's face waking him up.

"Xavier." Colby says trying to wake the teen who was asleep beside him "Xavier. Xavier, it's time to wake up."

"Water." Xavier says as he starts to wake up "It's too late. I'm too tired."

At the same time…

In the Middle of the Bush – With the Searchers

After managing to scrape enough money together between them, the group of residents from Summer Bay were now working their way through the bush looking for their lost loved ones.

Amanda was at the front of the group making her way through the trees when she suddenly tripped over a log.

Johnny (who's arm was now sling less) rushed to help her up and make sure she was alright: "Are you okay?"

"Woah, are you alright?" Brax asks her as well.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Amanda replies standing up.

"You've cut yourself." Johnny tells her as he noticed the blood on her hand.

"I'm fine now everyone come on." Amanda said as she starts walking again.

"Hang on, slow down for a sec." Johnny said to her then asks Brax "Brax, do you have the first aid kit?"

Brax nods his head and takes his bag off his shoulder. Opening it he grabs the kit and hands it to Johnny.

"Look it's just a scratch." Amanda points out as she doesn't want the search to stop while they check the cut on her hand.

"Yeah well, scratches can go septic." Brax informs her as he grabs her hand and looks at it.

While Johnny starts to open the first aid kit, Dean comes up behind them and says: "This is crazy man, we aren't getting anywhere. Why don't we head back to the ridge?"

"No, I told you they are in this direction." Amanda reminds the river boy.

"How do you know that?"

"Look, I know it sounds crazy, but you have to trust me. They're not far I can feel it." Amanda says because even she knows that its sounds crazy when said out loud.

"Were risking everything for this gut feeling of yours." Dean states.

"I know but I am right about this." Amanda replies.

"You know she could be right, so let's just keep going." Casey says as he walks past them and heads off in the direction Amanda was taking them.

"Yep, we can't turn back now." Ruby says in agreement.

With that they all follow Casey, including Amanda who had forgotten all about her hand.

Watching them all walk away, Brax turns to Johnny: "Look mate, we'll keep going this way for another hour. If we don't find anything we'll turn back."

Johnny just sighs as he puts the first aid kit back into Brax's backpack and takes off after the others.

(9:37am) 53 minutes later…

In the Middle of the Bush – With the Group

Unbeknown to them that help was on its way to rescue them: Rocco, Kyle, Bianca, Belle and Ryan were still lying in the ditch they stopped in last night as they were unable to keep moving.

From where she was lying, Bianca was making a really odd noise whenever she tried to breathe, this in turn was causing Rocco to worry.

Moving away from Belle, Rocco went to check on Bianca.

"Bianca come on, stay with me." Rocco begged her "Please just stay with me. Come on you're okay. No, Bianca you have to fight. Please just try and fight."

Rocco tries to shake the woman in hopes it would wake her up. When it doesn't work, he bends over and listening to see if she's breathing.

"She's stopped breathing." Rocco states to no one in particular.

This grabs the attention of Ryan who looks up: "Check her pulse."

Rocco does as he's told but can't find it: "I can't find it Ryan. I can't find it."

With that he quickly pulls the bag out from under her head, he then starts to do CPR on Bianca.

"COME ON BIANCA!" Rocco yells as he tries to bring her back "BIANCA PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME!"

Rocco keeps going but after a couple of minutes he starts to grow tired due to the lack of sugar which has caused him to run out of energy.

"She's still got no pulse."

"You've got to keep going." Ryan informs him.

So, Rocco starts CPR again: "PLEASE GOD, DON'T DO THIS TO HER!"

In the Middle of the Bush – With the Searchers

Amanda who was still heading in the direction she thinks their loved ones are in, suddenly stopped: "What was that? Did you hear it?"

"No, I didn't hear anything." Johnny replied to her.

"What's going on?" Brax quizzes his friend.

"Amanda heard something. Shhh." Johnny tells them all as they try to listen.

Amanda quickly runs to stand on top of a little mound of mud.

"DON'T DIE!" A voice yells from somewhere near them.

"There it is again." Amanda states when she hears it "It's voices!"

"Yeah, I heard it that time too." Johnny points out as they all start to hear the yells.

With that they all run off in the direction the voices where coming from

In the Middle of the Bush – With the Group

"Come on Bianca." Rocco said as he starts to slow down the CPR as he was getting to the point where he didn't have enough energy to help her.

"You have to keep going." Ryan tells him from where he was lying next to Belle and Kyle.

"I can't." Rocco replies.

Suddenly there's a howling noise from near them and a shout from Brax: "BIANCA!"

"BELLE!" Amanda yells as well.

"HELP!" Rocco yells "We're over here!"

Jumping over the branches Brax shouts: "BIANCA!"

Throwing the bag off his back, Brax says to Rocco as he approaches: "Rocco, get out the way!"

"I tried but she isn't breathing." Rocco says as Johnny appears next to them and goes to help Brax.

"Belle." Amanda said as she flung herself down beside her daughter.

Casey who was not that far behind rushed over to his unconscious brother: "Kyle, open your eyes."

Between them Brax and Johnny have continued the CPR on Bianca.

"It's ok Belle, I'm here." Amanda said as Charlie helps her.

"I'm on five go now!" Brax tells Johnny who puff air into Bianca's mouth.

Ruby helps Rocco take a drink of water just as Kyle starts to cough from behind her.

"That's it Kyle." Casey says as his brother comes round however he doesn't miss the blood on the corner of Kyle's mouth "Brax, Kyle's coughing up blood."

However, Brax was a little busy with Bianca to listen to what Casey was saying: "And again I'm on five. Go, go."

Johnny goes again and thankfully this time it works.

"Mate, she's breathing get her on her side." Brax states and they both roll her over so she can breathe a bit better.

Tony who was helping Ryan, turns to Rocco and asks: "Rocco, do you know where Xavier and Colby are? You gotta tell us where they are mate."

(9:47am) 10 minutes later…

In the Middle of the Bush – With Xavier and Colby

Colby who was still lying beside Xavier suddenly hears a noise likes twigs snapping from behind him and yells.

"COLBY!" Dean shouts as he looks for his best friend.

Slowly grabbing the branch that was sticking out of the side the ditch, Colby used it to pull himself up: "Over here!"

"XAVIER!" Tony shouts.

Just then the searchers who had continued on to find Colby and Xavier spotted the hand on the branch and started running towards it.

Letting go of the branch, Colby falls back down to the ground and smiles at Xavier as the pair realise, they have been found.

Rushing over to them, Dean says: "Colby, it's Dean!"

Colby looks at his friend as Tony drops beside him and checks on Xavier.

Meanwhile…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – The Flat – Main Area

Not knowing that their loved ones had already been found, Cassie opened the front door and walked into the flat with both Heath and Ricky behind her.

"It's good to be home." Heath says as he walks into the flat.

Heath then notices all the presents sat on the bench in front of him.

Watching what her friend was doing, Cassie suggest: "How about you sit down for a while and relax?"

Ricky places the bag down beside the sofa: "Can I get you a drink or anything? Tea, coffee…"

"Juice." Both Heath and Cassie say at the same time.

"Juice it is then." Ricky laughs as she goes to get them a glass of OJ each.

Suddenly a phone rings and Ricky says: "Oh that's me."

Sitting down on the sofa, Heath starts to say: "Could you grab me a…"

"A cushion?" Cassie laughs as she picks up a cushion from the armchair and places it behind Heath's back.

"Yeah is there anything you don't know about me?" Heath asks her.

"Aww, you tell me." Cassie replies as she sits down beside him.

"Actually, I guess it was bound to happen wasn't it? We've been hanging out with each other so much lately; you've been really amazing." Heath points out to the teen.

Smiling, Cassie answered: "Well, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there to talk to. You know, like with all the problems with the baby. You're the one who kept me strong."

Heath smiles back at her as she says that, just as they turn their heads, they notice Ricky wander back into the Flat.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Heath asks as he noticed her facial expression.
