Joe sat down hard in his chair, barely noticing Tai and Sora's presence. His father words floated through his head. You're no son of mine. How could his dad just blow him off like that? Just because he hadn't wanted to be a doctor, didn't mean he hadn't wanted to be part of the family. He didn't have long to wallow in self pity, for a few minutes later he heard a beep from his digivice. "Joe? Can you hear me?" Asked the voice on the other side.
"Izzy?!" the trio asked in unison." Yah,it's me. Listen Matt and Mimi need help. Matt says Mimi is hurt and is bleeding pretty badly. After you get to them, meet me in the park. I think I may have figured out what caused the earthquake." After saying that, Izzy cut the connection. "What was that all about?" Sora asked. "I don't know, but Mimi needs our help. The only problem is transportation. It's way to far for us to walk." Joe spoke up "Well, I have my driver's permit. The only thing is I'm supposed to have an adult with me. We don't want to break the law, do we?"
Tai looked out the window at the ruined city. "I don't think anyone's going to care, Joe."
Mimi's apartment
Matt sat on the ground, staring at Mimi. It had been an hour since Izzy had contacted them and still no sign of Joe. Mimi's skin was turning a sickening shade of white due to blood loss. She had already bled through the handkerchief twice and close to doing it again. Matt sighed and got up to go clean it at the nearby broken fire hydrant he had been using. But as soon as he stood up his ankle gave out and he was back on the ground. 'Damn' He thought 'that chuck of cement got me worse than I thought.' Actually, now that the adrenaline had wore off, he was feeling the full brunt of his injury's .His body was covered in cuts and bruises and his foot felt like it was on fire.
He slowly made his way to the hydrant, where he knelt down and started to wash out the handkerchief.
No sooner had he started his chore, then a car came into view down the road. As Matt squinted to see who it was, he realized it was..Joe! And Tai and Sora! He stood up to try and get their attention, but pain shot from his foot and he was forced to one knee. Joe stopped the car and all three occupants scrambled to Matt's side. "Matt, are you Ok?" Sora asked worriedly." I'm fine, but Mimi need's help", he said, gesturing to the spot they had been staying. Joe and Sora took off immediately, leaving Tai to help Matt.
As soon as Joe got to Mimi he knew something was wrong. Her breathing was raspy and was so pale, she could have passed off as a sheet. He quickly got out a roll of bandages and went to work. By the time Matt and Tai got there, he was nearly finished. "So.. Is she going to make it?", Matt asked anxiously, biting his lip." I don't know, Matt. She's lost a lot of blood and she might have a concussion, but she'd be dead by now if you hadn't helped her." Matt cracked that half smile that make's girls go gaga. (All girls in audience start drooling. See what I mean:-P)
"So are we ready to go?" Tai asked, wanting to see what Izzy had to say. Matt slowly tried to get up but fell back down. "In a word" he said grimacing. "No" After bandaging Matt's ankle, Joe carefully picked up Mimi. "Don't you dare drop her." Matt said, being helped up by Tai. Joe gave him a look the said ' Hey, I'm the reliable one remember?' And with that the group slowly made their way to the park, each curious what Izzy had to say.
An 8-hour walk or a 1/2-hour drive outside of Odiba
Kari Kaimiya looked anxiously at the speedometer, wondering if the car she was in could go any faster. She had been out on a drive with a her friends, Tarie and Enniua, celebrating Tarie getting her driver's license. A few hours ago they had felt some turbulence on the road, but passed it off as potholes. It wasn't until they turned on the radio had they been aware of the disaster. Now they were speeding towards Odiba, praying for family and friends to be alright. To add another thing to her list of worries, Izzy had contacted her about an hour ago saying that he wanted her to come to the park for a meeting. He said some thing about the earthquake, before being cut off.
Soon the group of girls had entered the city limits. As they drove past the demolished movie theater, Kari noticed a shape laying on the side walk. It was a kid. About ten-years old and blonde wearing a funny…
"Oh GOD!!!!! That's TK!!!!!!! Stop the car stop the car!!!!!" Kari screamed as she realized it was her digidestined friend. Tarie quickly pulled over and Kari was out the door before she had even turned off the engine.
Kari was immediately at Tk's side, checking for a pulse. Finding it, she gave a small sigh of relief as she started shaking him. "Tk…Tk…Can you hear me?" As he remained unresponsive tears started at the edges of her eyes. "Please wake up Tk. Please…" Tarie and Enniua slowly made their way over. They both grimaced at the sight of Tk's leg. "Is he going to be all right?" Tarie asked. Kari looked up at her friend, trying to hold back tears of worry. "I don't know. Help me get him in the car, we still have to get home."
The trio of girls carefully laid him in the back seat. Kari got in the back also, resting Tk's head on her lap. The got back on the road, albeit a tad slower this time. Kari gave him a peck on the cheek." Please be alright" she whispered as they once again headed toward home.
