Tyler glanced out on to the sea. There was a slight chill in the air and the waves were large, crashing against the beach.

"So, why are you still here?' Hank asked the storeowner.
"No, where else to go. My son's away in the Army and my daughter-in-law is pregnant and can't travel especially with a four year old as well. So, where just going to stay here and wait out the storm."

"Maybe we should call?"
"Nah, if they didn't answer the doorbell why would they answer the phone?" McMillian thought for a moment and then agreed, leaving Tyler, Val, and Jamie oblivious to the unspoken warning.
