The Way the Wind Blows II

"I'm sorry m'am we're doing everything in our power to-"

"Have you found anybody?? Any survivors at all??" Sheridan asked.

The policeman looked at her in the eyes and said, "No yet we haven't. But we will." Then he added despairately, "We have too."

"This just can't be happening.." Sheridan thought to herself, "It just can't be. I love him I really love him and I told Antonio and..Luis and I just have to be together, we just have to be."

Sheridan was at the hospital where any survivors of the crash would be taken. She just waited in the waiting area, drinking coffee and watch CNN on the television.

The hours slipped by, one by one, until she had been there over night and it was suddenly early morning when somebody yelled out, "We got survivors!!"

Just then she looked up at the television, which showed a reporter reporting out side the very hosptial where she as at as 3 abulances pulled up.

"Our sources say that 9 to 11 people have been recovered from the ocean wreckage, no names yet have been given." The reporter went on but instead Sheridan ran to the door to wait to see if Luis was amoung the lucky few who were first found..maybe the only found.

The first 3 were rushed in on stretchers, none of them Luis, and after that there were some people wrapped in blue towels being helped out of the abulances. By parametics.

Sheridan rushed out to meet the people, but it was still to dark to see any of their faces.

"Please please please please please..." Sheridan thought. She was crying now and her hair was a mess, but all she could think about was finding Luis.

She made her way past some police trying to control the crowded situation and yelled out, "Luis!"

It was a mintute before she saw a man lift up his head and call out with all his voice, "Sheridan?"

He was sitting on the edge of the abulance with the towel around his shoulders.

Sheridan ran her way toward him and he stood up, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held on so tight it took his breath away, and she said, "I was so scared Luis, I didn't know.."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sheridan. All I could think about the whole time was you, your face your laugh your smile." He paused as he pulled back and kissed her face, "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you where I was, I shouldn't of left the way I did."

"No no it's my fault, you were right I should of told Antonio sooner." Sheridan said as they still held each other, "I told him."

"You did?" Luis asked, his voice faultering.

"I did." Sheridan said, "We can be together now, no more hurrdles."

"I love you." Luis said, his voice full of hope.

"I love you too, Luis." Sheridan answered.
