Chapter 8- Internet access

Matt woke up the next morning to see Sora asleep with her head on his chest. He shook her lightly, trying to wake her up. She opened her eyes, and gave Matt a small hug. They got up, and started walking back to the plane. They saw Izzy, and everyone else gathered around him.

"Izzy, what are you trying to do?" asked Sora.

Izzy had his laptop on his lap, and he was holding his cell phone connected to the computer.

"Trying to get on the internet." Said Izzy.

They all waited, when it finally worked. The browser window opened with Izzy's yahoo homepage.

"Let's try and email our friends." Said Mimi.

"No use. They're all at camp." Said Izzy.

"Let me check the news reports, there might be an article about us."

Izzy typed in the web address to the Odabai News page. And when the page finished loading, he was amazed. They were on the news.

Five teenagers and one 12-year-old dead in plane crash.

3 months ago, five teenagers and one 12-year-old are presumed dead when they were on their way to a camp in British Columbia, when their plane crashed. Their parents were devastated to hear the news, and have been extremely depressed for the past 3 months. "My sons are dead! My babies, my poor babies!" cried Mrs. Ishida, mother of Matt Ishida (19 years old) and T.K Ishida (12 years old). It has been three months, and there has been no sightings what so ever, and search parties have given up.
