Tess stopped Dawn's small pick-up truck about three blocks from the now collapsed building. The other Trade Center building still stood, with smoke billowing out of the top section. Dust and debris covered the streets as the building had collapsed. Across the street lay glass, sheet metal, and various objects. Tess looked over at Dawn, who had tears in her eyes.
"Tess, why are we here? This is so terrible, so why would you want me to see it?" she questioned, a solemn look covered her face.
"Remember how I said to trust me?" Tess asked. Dawn nodded slowly.
"Well, that still applies baby," she said as she got out of the car. Dawn followed suit and also got out the car. Tess handed her the keys and hurried down the street to the World Trade Center building.

Andrew held Chloe's hand as she laid staring up at the ceiling. Andrew realized that he was no longer surrounded in light, but he would probably be when Chloe was ready to go Home. Her eyes widened as a thought stuck her. She looked at Andrew and noticed he seemed to be looking out the window. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Andrew?" she asked as calmly as she could. His head snapped up and his green eyes focused on Chloe. When she was sure she had his attention, she continued.
"Will I die before this building collapses?" she asked. Andrew's face showed his concern as he watched her closely. A sudden realization hit him as he repeated the question in his mind.
"How did you know the building was going to collapse?" he asked softly. He had just gotten word from the Father about five minutes ago that it was about to collapse. He stared at her in amazement as she answered his question.
"For me, it's just common sense. If they both have been hit in the same place, and one collapses, you use logic to figure out the other will collapse," she explained. She smiled slightly and tried to sit up, but soon regretted it as more pains shot through her stomach.
"Well, it's true, but you'll be Home before it happens," Andrew said, wiping her black hair away from her face. He looked up and saw a small hole in the ceiling when bits of it collapsed. He sighed deeply, wishing he didn't have to take Chloe Home. He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard Chloe coughing. He looked down at her, his eyes showing his worry.
"Chloe, what's wrong?" Andrew asked, worried.
"I smell gas," Chloe choked. Andrew's eyes widened as he realized the situation. Chloe wasn't dying form the building collapsing, but from asphyxiation.
"Tess, why are we here? This is so terrible, so why would you want me to see it?" she questioned, a solemn look covered her face.
"Remember how I said to trust me?" Tess asked. Dawn nodded slowly.
