Chapter Four
Simon is continued to be floated around by the car. He wants to go see if his family is ok, but doesn't want to risk it. His leg is getting worse by the instant. The car takes him across the Promenade when the car collides into the window of a flooded shop. One of glass pieces gets stuck in Simon's leg, and more blood escapes. He tries to take the glass out, making him fall into the deep waters. The car is floated away by the current and Simon is left with nothing to hold onto. "Help!" he screamed with no one in sight.
"How could this happen?" said Lucy crying as she watched the walls collapse on Savannah. She was now certain that she had lost her only daughter. But then she heard cries from under the collapsed walls. "Savannah", she called. She swam to the fallen apart house, where a crying Savannah was. "I'm coming" she said and lifted the walls up and grabbed Savannah. "I love you so much", she said gripping Savannah very tightly. "I thought you were gone". Then they feel a shake. "What was that?" Lucy said. "Oh No!".
Kevin threw himself into the deep water to go find Lucy. "Kevin, come back!" yelled Sergeant Michaels from above. "I can't just let him drown in the water" he tells Jason. "I'm going to go get him". He jumps down into the water. "Wait, Kevin", he called as Kevin was already drifted to the end of the flooded station by the current. Kevin escaped out of the police station and continued to try to swim to the Camden's to check on Lucy and Savannah. Sergeant Michaels is drifted after him. "Come back now, you'll die!" he said. "I'll take that chance" he yelled back. The water is getting even deeper as more water comes into the flooded area. Kevin struggles to stay above water, when a fallen lamp post his him and pulls him under. "Kevin, No!" Sergeant Michaels called swimming toward him.
"Why Me?" Annie shouted out loud devastated. "How could you let him go Eric?" she said. "Where's David", Sam asked his mother. "He's gone", she answered back blinking back tears. "I found him", Eric yelled from the water down below. "Oh my Gosh!" Annie said. "Your brother is going to be fine", she tells Sam. Then she hears a yell. Annie looks down and sees no one. "Eric!" "Where Are You?" "Is Daddy ok?" Sam asked. "I don't know", she answered with the same look on her face as when she lost David.
"Well, what", Roxanne said. "How did you end up here?". "I don't want to talk about that right now, we're going to miss the flight". "Whatever, you're gonna have to talk about it sooner or later". "So how are you doing", she asked. "Fine, so you were released from the troops". "Yeah, I hated the army. I just got shot in the stomach last week", she said showing the flight attendant her ticket. "I need to use the restroom", Chandler said walking to the back of the plane. "I'm going to find out what you're hiding, Chandler", she said to herself, when he left. She sat down and looked in the compartment where Chandler placed his wallet. "What's that", she said. "This could be very interesting", she said picking it up.
"Ruthie!" Martin called again swimming franticly around to find her who had just been knocked out of his arms. Ruthie finally made her way to the surface and screamed "Martin!". He swam toward the yell when Ruthie is pulled back under the water. She can feel more and more blood flooding out her head. She hits the bottom and pushes back up when her food gets caught in a hole. Ruthie tries to push back to the surface but is trapped underwater. "Ruthie, where did you go", Martin said swimming to where he heard the scream. Below him Ruthie was slowly drowning. He looks underwater and sees Ruthie. He swims down to pull her leg out but it is too deep into the hole. After trying many times to help her he rises from the water. "She's going to die!" Martin said running out of hope.
Carlos was getting worried about his wife. He had no idea that she had gone to Glen Oak to check on her family. He was watching the news which stated about the Tsunami. "I hope she's ok", he said. Then their son woke up and was crying. Carlos went to check on him, still thinking about Mary. Little did he know that she was in more danger than ever in the flooded city of Glen Oak.
Mary asked her pilot to take her to her parent's house. They hopped back into the plane watching many poor people drowning below them. "I need to get home", said Mary. "My family could be hurt or worse". "I bet there all right", said the pilot. "Yeah, I'm sure", Mary said who looked very un-convinced.
Cecilia and her father looked through the window of their attic to see the damage the huge tidal wave caused. "Are you sure we're safe here Dad?" Cecilia asked. "Yes, I'm sure. We're fine. I'm just not sure about the rest of the house", her dad responded. "I wonder how the Camden's are doing", Cecilia said. "I thought you broke up with Martin, Cecilia ". "I did, but that dosen't mean that I don't care about them at all. I'm worried". "When the water comes down we can go see if they're ok", her dad said. "No, I need to see them now, Martin could be hurt". "Are you telling me that you still love Martin, Cecilia?" her father asked.
