Chapter 8

"Liz!" Lucky shouted running to her.

Bobbie looked her over. She had some cuts and bruises. It looked like she might have a broken arm and a lump was forming on her forehead.

Elizabeth stirred a little.

"Liz? Elizabeth can you hear me?" Bobbie asked.

Elizabeth opened her eyes. She moaned and tried to sit up.

"Don't try to move," Bobbie said. "Do you remember what happened?"

Liz nodded slowly, wincing with pain. "Yes, there was a tornado and something fell on me."

"Something?" Lucky said with a little laugh. "Try half the second floor."

Elizabeth looked up at the ceiling and saw that it wasn't there. She could see the sky outside.

Why they had been talking Bobbie went to get the first aid kit. She quickly set about to treat Elizabeth's cuts.

"Lucky, my keys are in my purse under the counter. Go pull my car around. We need to get her to the hospital to have her arm set and her head looked at," Bobbie said. She watched as Lucky ran outside. She turned back to Liz. "That's quite a bump you have there."

Elizabeth smiled at her weakly.

Lucky came back in a few minutes later. "Bobbie, I can't get your car. There are power lines on the hood and the rest of it is under a fallen tree."

Bobbie looked confused. "There aren't any trees down here at the docks."

"I know. I think the storm blew it here. We were lucky. This is the only building on the block that is still standing."

"Ok, call an ambulance and go to the hospital with her. I'm going to check to see if anyone else around here needs medical help," she said heading out the door.

"Be careful!" Lucky shouted out of her. He tried the phone, but the line was dead so he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and called for an ambulance.

On the other side of Port Charles, Lesley sat in the basement trying to comfort Lulu.

"Don't cry Honey. You know someone will get us out."

Lulu wiped the tears from her face and nodded.

Lesley gave her a hug. She suddenly noticed a smell in the air. She got up and started walking around the basement.

She noticed that the smell got stronger when she approached the washer and dryer. She looked behind them and noticed that the gas pipe had been knocked loose from the dryer.

She knew that she had to get Lulu and herself out of that basement as soon as possible.
