The Loser's Club Ch.28

*** I'm going to jump ahead to the day after the storm, and once again I'm sorry if this confuses anyone, but I have a method to my madness.

"This is Martina Chamber's coming to you live from St. Lisa's Island in Bermuda, where Hurricane Nicole desolated the once beautiful island." The woman steps to the side allowing the camera to pan the area where trees are titled and the windows of some homes as while as roofs are missing. " The hurricane which was suppose to hit Puerto Rico changed course swiftly and without real warning, not allowing time for the citizens of the island to prepare a defense against it. The hurricane has already destroyed a estimated 14.5 million dollars in property, including a five star resort, one small hotel, 14 houses, and 23 boats, the death toll is currently at 11, and the numbers are raising."

" One such case of destruction was as earlier mentioned a small hotel, owned by long time resident Liz Sanbourne. Her three story hotel wall actually torn down by the strong winds, that exceeded over a 150 miles per hour, so far we're reporting no casualties for any of her guest and or staff." The reporter moves away to reveal the site where Liz' hotel once stood, the once beautiful buildings tan colored walls were now no more then rumble in semi neat piles. "Ms. Sanbourne managed to get all of her guest and staff to storm cellar, but some people weren't luck enough to make it to a safe heaven."

A small senior citizen steps into the camera view. "With me now is Hans Keller, he witnessed a scene during the storm that could only be call horrific. Mr. Keller what did you see last night?"

"Well, I was in my storm cellar, and I had out my binoculars because I'm storm watcher, when I saw it, there was this little schooner that I had see parked in the dock earlier today being pushed out by the strong winds." " I thought nothing of it because all the boats had been pushed off into the ocean, but I was checking out the damage to the boat, when I saw a man come up from below deck." " Once I saw him, I left my cellar and went outside to get help, but as I got closer the winds got stronger, kept stopping me, I hid behind a house, and tried to find the man again with my binoculars, but he was gone."

"But that wasn't what caused you alarm?"

"No, I figured or at least I prayed that he jumped form the boat and tried to swim back to shore, but when I fund the boat again I saw a second person, this time a young woman, but before she had time to leave the stair case, the wind picked and it literally tore the boat in half, sending the woman flying into the water."

"Then what happened sir?"

"Then, and I don't know how I missed him, but then I saw this man standing on the pier he looked like he was shouting something, then the was a crash of lightening and thunder, and he just jumped in the water, and started swimming toward the woman, buy this time I had arrived on the pier and some police officers had joined me, I explained to them what I saw and we just waited, the officers said he man was crazy to have gone in, but about twenty minutes later the hurricane had lessened and that's when we saw him, he was dragging her toward the pier and we rushed to help and pulled her out, we turned back to help him out but he was gone."

"An amazing story of courage, thank you Mr. Keller." The small man walks away and the camera swing back to Martina." The woman found is now in stable condition, the man seen earlier on the boat was found later along the beach and is in critical condition, the hero is still unidentified."  

Jessica turns off the television, since hearing that Kay was on St. Lisa, the family had been listening closely for any word from the small island, but she didn't think it was helping her mother was still crying, and her father had the same lost look on his face. "I'm sure.." she was cut off by the ringing of the doorbell, and sat done as John went to answer it, seconds later Luis walked in followed by Sheridan.

It was obvious that they had heard the news, Sheridan's eyes were red, and Luis had a look of sadness in his eyes. Sheridan walked rush to comfort Ethan and then Grace while Sam and Luis just shared looks of similar sorrow.

Sam broke the silence first "Any word yet?"

" No, but Sheridan is having the Crane Jet fueled and on standby, we thought we would head down as soon as the airports lift the restriction on flying."

"We thought you might like to come." Sheridan gave the group a hopeful smile.

"Definitely." Ethan jumped up and took out his phone when his father grabbed his hand.

"You're not coming." Sam shook his head, and stared at his son.

"If you think I'm staying while Kay is out there…." Ethan stepped toward his father anger in his eyes, he didn't want to but he couldn't help but blame him for Kay's fate whatever it maybe.

"Ethan, I need you and John here to take care of things."

John patted Sam on the shoulder and nodded. "Of course we will Sam, right Ethan?"

"Yeah, okay." Ethan looked at Jessica, and realized his father was right, his youngest sister had been playing with the sleeve f he shirt a sure sign that she was worried, and he suddenly felt bad for neglecting her. "We'll keep Jess and Charity from throw wild parties."

He ruffled her hair, causing to stick her tongue out at him.

"Like I'd invite you to any party we threw."  

"No parties, til we bring back Kay." Grace spoke for the first since hearing about the hurricane, she gave her daughter and niece a weak smile.

Just then Sheridan received a call on her cell phone, she excused herself and came by a minute later. "The restriction's been lifted, the jet's ready when we are."

Sam turned to his wife, and raised an eyebrow, when she nodded he turned back to Sheridan. "Let's go."

St. Lisa's Hospital

Kay had woken up alone and in a hospital bed, she didn't really remember how she got here but she knew she needed to find Brian, she made a move to stand up when she heard the door open, but was disappointed when she saw that it was only Doc." Where's Brian?"

"He's fine Kay, we found him passed out on the beach, and he was a little beat up, but other wise fine." Doc picked up her chart and looked it over. " But you are really the lucky one, I hear that you were thrown about twenty feet, but everything looks fine."

"That's great Doc, how's Liz and everyone else?"

He looked down, Liz was devastated her entire life was that hotel." She's fine physically, but the hotel sustained some real damage, and may not be worth rebuilding."

"But I'll be fine no matter what." Liz walked into the room, and again thank god for whatever miracle had saved Kay and Brian, the young woman looked a little dazed but other wise she didn't seem to have a scratch on her. "How is the patient?"

"I'm fine, I'm sorry about your hotel."

"That's okay it was insured, but is there anything I can get you?"

"Just Brian." The need to see him had been strong since she woke up, but she got worried when neither one of her visitors answered her." What's wrong, I thought you said everything was fine?"

" He is, he just hasn't regained conscious yet." Doc gave the girl a sad smile." But everything gives us hope that he wake up soon."

"I want to see him." Kay struggled to stand and found that she was weaker then she imagined, when Liz and Doc just looked at each other and made no move to help her she gave her ultimatum. " I'm going with or without your help, but chances are you'll get blamed if I hurt myself further by trying on my own. "

Doc reluctantly helped her stand while Liz went to find a wheelchair, once she was safely seated he pushed the chair toward Brian's room with a grimace faced Liz behind. "I must admit Kay, I see it now."

"See what?" Kay was almost a little afraid to ask what Doc meant after the last time she talked to him, but the look in his eye made her wonder what he was talking about."

"How perfect you and Brian are for each other."
