"Hi dad." Julie says.
"Hi. I got a call from my friend who is watching the house, he said that he got the feeling that something wasn't right, so he just gave me a call and told me that Simon called. Is everything alright?" The Colonel says.
"No, dad. Eric and Annie went on a cruise Sunday afternoon now it looks like their cruise ship had some sort of trouble." Julie responds.
"Oh no. Do you have the number to the company cruise liner?" The Colonel says.
"Yes, here it is." Julie gives him the number.
"Okay, I'll get back to you, alright. I love you guys." The Colonel say
"I love you too dad. Bye." Julie says as she hangs up.
"Say, what is for---." Robbie starts to ask when he notices the Camdens looked upset and Kevin walks in from work.
"Hey. I heard about Eric and Annie. Is there anything new?" Kevin says.
"No. But with all those survivors I sure hope both of them are mom and dad." Lucy says.
"Oh no. No..Come on. You mean they." Robbie starts to cry as Lucy consoles him and Kevin hugs them both.
"Arf. Arf." Happy barks.
"Oh, um.Sam, David, John and Erica are hungry." Robbie responds.
"Okay. Bring them down." Lucy says as everyone wipes the tears.
Everyone has lunch then after everything is cleaned, the twins and Erica go for a nap as well as John and they wait by the phone watching the coverage of the news on the cruise liner. Later in the day, Lucy gets a hold of the cruise ship company to find out that they don't know where most of the passengers who have been injured went but indicated there would be a news conference in a few minutes which helped Hank, Julie and the kids find out what hospitals the passengers have gone to.
"Okay, this is what I will do. I'm going to go to my office and find the numbers for these hospitals and I will start calling them but they may or may not know who the names of the patients are if they are unconscious. " Hank says as he takes the list and leaves to get the numbers for the hospitals.
Mary called an hour later to find out if Eric and Annie were on the ship and hopes they are alright after she learns they are on it. Later in the evening, after making the calls to the hospitals, Lucy tells everyone that they have the critically injured there but there are patients that the hospitals have that doesn't know who they are.
Later, Julie, Hank, Erica and John leave then everyone went to bed. But most didn't sleep or didn't sleep long.. Not knowing if their parents were even alive.
Thursday, July 17..
Everyone got up, tired since they couldn't sleep or got only less then 5 hours of it. Julie, Hank and their kids came over to come up with a plan as to what they will do about getting temporary custody, rearranging their house and getting to San Diego on such short notice. The doorbell rang and Sam told Ruthie that someone was at the door as Ruthie asked who it was.
"Who is it?"
"The Colonel and the whole army.." The Colonel says as Ruthie opens the door.
"Matt!! Mary!! Grandma, Colonel!! Hi!!" Ruthie exclaims as they come in and everyone comes in the foyer to welcome them.
A few hours later, Patrica and Morgan Hamilton come over to offer a way to San Diego not knowing the Parents of Eric, Matt and Mary were there.
"Hello."
"Hi." The Camdens say hello to the Hamiltons.
"Morgan and I have found out that two airlines is giving free plane trips to San Diego for those whose loved ones are hospitalized and those who are in San Diego that they can come home back to where they took the ship or their home if they traveled elsewhere."
"Also, the community of San Diego have been helping out to those who need it. Here are the tickets for the trip and I do hope that Eric and Annie are alright." Morgan said as he rubbed his wife's back.
They gave them the plane tickets then left then Matt told everyone that if Eric is declared dead, the church can reclaim the house but wasn't sure as to how long they would have till they had to move out.
"So what have we decided about going to San Diego?" Mary asks.
"Well, I think we should wait till after Sunday. I think that we need to worry about the house and get a temporary custody of the kids." Hank says.
"I actually agree with Hank." Eric's parents, Matt and Mary shake their heads in agreement.
"Why? I don't understand? Why don't we just go find them now?" Simon asks.
"Because if mom and dad are gone, we have to start searching for a house because there is no telling when the church would give the house to someone else." Matt says.
"Really?" Ruthie says.
"Yes. And if your parents were alright, I would think they should have called, or the hospital call and tell us that they are at this hospital. I heard that most of the survivors have called their loved ones." Hank says.
"I called grandpa again. He still isn't home and no one answered." Lucy says.
"Really?" Matt says.
"What about the sleeping arrangements?" Ruth asks.
"Mary and I are staying at Sarah's parents for the time being."
"Is Sarah here?" Ruthie asks.
"Yes, she will be by in a little bit." Matt says.
"I'll go to a hotel." The Colonel and Ruth says.
"No, why don't you and dad go into Eric and Annie's room?" Julie asks.
"I don't know, just didn't think of it." The Colonel says.
"Well, does that take care of everything we've needed to discuss?" Matt asks.
"Detective Micheals is here and Kevin." Simon says as he sits down from getting the door.
"Hello." The Colonel says as Det. Micheals, Kevin sit down.
"I'm just wanted to tell you guys that if you need anything or have errands to run I'd be happy to take you and give me a call if you need to talk." Detective Micheals says.
"Thanks. We really appreciate it." Lucy says as Kevin hugs her
"No Problem." Det. Micheals says as he leaves and Simon goes upstairs to see what Ruthie, the twins, Erica and John were up to.
"Hi. I got a call from my friend who is watching the house, he said that he got the feeling that something wasn't right, so he just gave me a call and told me that Simon called. Is everything alright?" The Colonel says.
