Chapter 7
Jeff stood next to Alan in the operating room. Alan screamed, cried, and kicked. But his arm was restrained to the doctor's table so he would jerk around like a raved horse. Scott and John walked back and forth in the waiting room. Virgil was getting dizzy watching them do so; he starred absentmindedly at the TV. The new was on, something about some houses being caved in. They were trying to get under some to the houses to the basements where people were being trapped and fires started from some wet exposed wires. Virgil sat up and looked at the house that had half fell apart.
"Oh my.that's Brains` house." He yelled and looked at Scott. Scott looked at the TV, Gordon and Tin Tin had fell asleep in their chairs. Kyrano sat looking down at his feet. He wasn't saying a word. It was his worst day ever.so far.
"We have to go see him." Virgil said and began to walk out the revolving door. Scott followed closely behind him. Scott hopped into his father's car and pulled out the extra keys he always had and began to start the car.
"There have been a series of 12 tornados do to Hurricane Xenia. Another one seems to be making its way back through the lower levels of Kansas and making its way south." A man said over the radio. Scott made the old car squeal as he pulled he car into a reverse donut.
"Seat belt Virgil. We need to get to Brains` before that new tornado hits us again." Scott said and pressed his foot down on the gas and drove like he never drove before.

Brains sat on the ground hugging his knees to his chest as the boys drove up. Scott jumped out of the car and ran over to him. Virgil sat on the hood and watched Brains cry. It wasn't the first time they ever seen him cry, but it was the first they seen him cry with this much force. Scott bent down and embraced Brains as if he were one of his brothers. Brains returned the gesture. It was what he needed right now a brother. Scott let go of Brains and looked him in the eye.
"Its okay now Brains. Its all over and done." Scott said and Brains shook his head and looked into Scott's eyes.
"There dead." He whispered and began to sob uncontrollably. Scott's mouth dropped.
"Whoa.your parents?" He said Brains could only muster a nod. Tears wailed up in Scott's eyes.
"Virgil?" He yelled with a high squeaky voice. Virgil didn't waste any time getting there.
"What's the matter Scott?"
"Brains is ganna need a place to stay for a while. Lets take him to the hospital to talk to dad. See if he could stay with us." Scott said and looked at Virgil who helped Brains up and into the car.

Alan had acquired 17 stitches in the forearm. He was smiling at Gordon as he walked out of the doctor's office.
"Are you sure you didn't see where they went Kyrano?" Jeff said and looked at his son's who fought over who was the most scarred.
"I'm sorry sir no." Kyrano said holding onto his daughters' hand almost like he was afraid that she would fly away at any moment.
"Alright then we'll have to go look for them then." Right then a roar of an engine could be heard coming their way. Scott fishtailed right in front of them.
"Come on dad, all of you get in. I'm getting us as far away from here as possible." Scott yelled out of the window. Brains looked among them. He was sure glad none of his friends were hurt, but it didn't stop the hurting in his heart.
"Alright then. To grandma's house then." Jeff said and got into the car taking Scotts place at the wheel.
