Max and Gigantra were watching the visual from the sky.
Gigantra was chuckling.
"She's off to a great start, Maxie. Pretty soon, she'll melt everything and anything in her path!" She said, placing an arm around Max.
Max looked at what was going on with Sierra.
He sighed.
What have I done…?
………………………….
Katherine and Laney were standing outside the bathroom, watching helplessly as the steam was getting thicker and thicker.
Katherine placed her hand on the bathroom door.
A loud cry in pain escaped from her pursed lips.
"Katherine!" Laney said, concerned as she now was beginning to examine the young girl's hand.
Katherine's palm was turning pink-red from the heat (correction…)... Searing heat.
Laney looked at her, concerned.
"Don't worry, Katherine. I'm going to find you and Sierra some help." She said, looking at the young girl who had a ring burn on her palm.
Trevor and Darien... Wherever you two are, please hurry…
……………………….
Darien and Kitzens were really getting into it.
Just as the young boy was trying to fight off the older man, Kitzens shoved him.
When Kitzens shoved Darien, Trevor caught the young boy just in time before he hit the floor.
"Thank you, Trevor." Darien said, looking up at his rescuer as he was trying to get onto his feet.
Trevor began to help the young boy.
"Don't mention it, Darien. We always stick together." He said, with a smile as the young boy was now standing on his own.
The two looked at Kitzens, who was standing there, with his arms crossed.
"Well, Trevor... Do you still want to prove your point about why you think I should keep your little lab open?" He said, looking at Trevor and Darien both.
But mainly Trevor…
Just before Trevor had the chance to speak, Darien sniffed the air.
Volcanic ash! But, where's it coming from? What if it's Sierra?! I have to get to Sierra and fast! He said to himself as his breathing began to speed up.
Trevor looked at him, concerned.
"Hey, Darien. What is it that you smell?" He asked, intrigued but concerned.
Sierra hadn't returned from the bathroom and it's been over fifteen minutes since she left to go.
Darien turned from the smell to look at Trevor.
"It's volcanic ash and it's coming from the bathroom." He said, urgently.
Trevor looked in the direction that Darien smelled the volcanic smoke and ash from.
Darien's right! We need to go rescue Sierra. *Sighs*... I hate leaving her by herself. It makes me feel like a horrible parent. What if something really bad happened to her? I wouldn't know what I'd do. Now is the time to go check on Sierra. I'm not going to argue with Kitzens anymore. Sierra is the most important! He said to himself as he now felt someone tugging on his sleeve.
"Trevor? Trevor, we need to go now! Sierra's in trouble!" The young boy's voice rang out.
Trevor gasped and looked at Darien.
"Thank you for reminding me, Darien." He said as Darien now began to move towards the door.
Then, he moved towards Kitzens, now keeping a hold of his collar.
"First of all, there are no little experiments going on here…" Trevor said, beginning to speak.
Kitzens chuckled.
"What about your daughter, Trevor?" He said, remembering what Darien was talking about earlier.
Trevor growled at Kitzens.
He didn't have time for the man's nonsense.
Trevor had to go rescue his daughter Sierra.
"What do you mean when you mentioned my daughter, Kitzens?" He said, with a fierce and fiesty look on his face.
"You see, Trevor... Darien is finding everything about your daughter Sierra." Kitzens said, looking him in the eyes.
"What did Darien find out about Sierra?" Trevor asked, wanting to know.
He had to hurry.
"Well, from what I've heard, he just found out that your daughter is a volcanic experiment, made by someone else." Kitzens replied immediately.
Trevor sighed and began to let go of his collar.
"Listen, Kitzens I don't have time to ask questions about my daughter that aren't true. I have to go rescue her…" He said as he began to head towards the door.
Just as Trevor was about to head out, he turned to look at Leonard, who was watching the computer screens.
"Leonard, I need you to do something for me while I'm gone." Trevor said, immediate and urgent.
Leonard looked up.
"Yes, Trevor?" He immediately answered.
"I need you to keep an eye on the screens. If there's a sudden change, you know to call me." Trevor said, urgently.
Leonard nodded his head yes and went to work after Trevor left.
(So...The volcanic side of Sierra is finally beginning to show. Katherine and Laney are wanting to help her but don't know how. Yet... Darien and Kitzens are getting into it. Trevor is taking charge and now, they're on their way to rescue Sierra. Stay tuned for chapter thirteen!)
