In America John had just woken up and was getting ready to go down to hotel gym. His cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" He said.
"John have you watched the news today?" Randy asked worried.
"No." "What's going on?"
"Two hours ago there was a massive earthquake in Beijing, one of the worst they had in years." "Isn't that where Alexandria is?"
"Yeah." "I'll call you back." He hung up and dialed Alexandria's number. It went straight to voicemail. "Alexandria, it's John." "I just heard about the earthquake." "Call me back."
John tried calling the hotel Alexandria was staying at and got a recording that all the circuits were down. He tried Amber.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi Amber this is John." He said worried. "Have you heard from Alexandria?"
"No, why what's wrong?"
"There was an earthquake in Beijing a few hours ago." "She's not answering her cell phone." "I've tried her hotel." "The circuits are down."
"I'll keep trying her."
"I will to." "Do you think Ann could've heard from her?"
"Ann told me that she talked to her after Alexandria called me yesterday morning."
"Yesterday?"
"Yeah." "She's ok John."
"I know." He however wasn't so sure.
"If you hear anything, please call right away."
"I will." "Please do the same."
"I will." "Bye."
"Bye." They hung up.
John dialed Alexandria's number again.
"Come on baby, pick up please." He said out loud. He got voicemail again. "No." "I can't go through this again." "Not again."
Alexandria woke up feeling very disoriented. She was laying on her stomach on what was left of elevator floor. Unbeknownst to her she'd fallen fifty feet and was buried under all kinds of rubble. Her head was pounding. She could feel blood on the left side of her head. She had immense pain in both legs. She knew they were broken. She could feel the bones sticking out.
"Help me!" She yelled. When she did the pain radiated through her head like fire. She grabbed her head with both hands. "Somebody help me!" "Ow!" She threw up. For reasons she didn't understand she yelled. "John!"
