After Louis and the gang had stormed out the door into the blizzard Ren expected him to come back in about a half an hour, at the most, and tell her that he's sorry. But that moment never came. When the blizzard finally died down they were able to send out search teams and helicopters who tryed their very best to find them.
After a week of searching and still not finding anyone, they prononced them dead. When Louis's parents were contacted they hurryed there as quickly as they could. Even though her family tryed to comfort her,Ren still withdrew from everyone exept one, Larry Beal.

"Thanks for letting me talk to you agian, Larry. Your the only one I can talk to now." Ren said as they sat in the ski lodge looking out onto the mountians like they had done not to long ago. "Agian, any time. But you don't need to go beating yourself up over this. You didn't make them go out there. They did it on their own"
"Ya, but it feels like I might as well have. And their not dead you know." "What?" Larry said looking strangly at Ren. "There not dead. I know Louis and the rest of them, they wouldn't just give up and die." "Ren thats impossible! You heard the chief, theres no way anyone could have survived!" "But Louis isn't anyone, he's my brother. Your dads a general right?" "Yeah. So." "Has he ever told you about anyone that has survived in something like that?" "Yeah. A few people. But their all in there twentys and thirtys. Louis and the gang were in their TEENS!" "Ya don't belive me, fine. I'll just have to go alone." At this point Ren had started going around her room and packing a small bag with various items. "Wait! You mean your going out there to look for them, ALONE!" "Not if you come with me." Ren said putting on her coat and boots. "Ren." Larry said sitting down beside her. "I just don't think it's a good idea going out there and looking for something that even Search and Rescue couldn't even find." "But Search and Rescue dosn't know Louis like I do. And I just feel that I can't rest until I give it my best shot." Ren said as she finished getting all her stuff together. "Well if thats the way you feal about it, then I'm going with you." Larry said as he stood up to go get his stuff as well. "Thanks, Larry. I don't know what I would if we were still fighting." Ren said as she gave Larry a big hug. After they had gotten all their things and left a note to let everyone know where they went, they started the long walk to find there long lost friends.
