Ch. 5- It's gonna get worse before it gets better…
Caitie listened intently to the heavy rain drops on top of the store's storage room. The wind was eerie in it's crashing, violent motion. The tiny boarded up window gave her little comfort. There wasn't much to do, but worry and pace as she noticed Hank walking slowing across the concrete floor.. Julianna lay whimpering in her grandfather's arms.
"Here." replied Hank as he handed her a sleeping bag. Another crash against the house made her slightly sliver. "Are you alright?" he said looking into her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she replied a little to harshly. "I-" Caitie started to say, but was interrupted by the lights flickering then going completely out.

Tyler stared blankly into air. They were in a hurricane completely unprepared and missing two people.
"Um, I think my parents kept water, food, and supplies down in the basement. I'll go see if it's there. You guys cover the windows." he replied noticing the large amount of flying debris in the wind and the rain that looked as if it would never stop.
Jamie quickly begun the task that Tyler had asked. He had never been this scared in his life and desperately asked no one in particular where Caitie was as he made his way up the stairs and in the first room. The open window had left water and branches all over, the pictures that laid untouched on the bed were ruin. He quickly closed it and covered it with anything he could find.
Tyler gasped as he looked down into the basement. It was flooded with water…

"It's only begun." Sam replied from somewhere in the darkness. "We should at least get some sleep."
Hank almost laughed out loud at the thought of sleeping, but with in a few moments he heard the soft breathing of Sam and Emilie. He realized it must have been eleven o'clock by now. He and Caitie had been gone for at least four hours. Tyler, Val, and Jamie be worried about us, he thought. The small girl made her way to Caitie and swiftly fell asleep as well after Caitie sweetly sung to her.
"You're really good with kids." Hank whispered thinking of Sam, the little boy he had met from the accident.
"I have a little brother, Andrew. He's six." she replied suddenly homesick.
"I didn't know you had a brother."
"There's a lot about me you don't." she said as they began to talk….

A/N I know there wouldn't be a basement in the house. But I needed to put it in.
