Chapter 10.

Earlier that day.

"Aunt Bri! Aunt Bri!"

Sabrina opened one eye, and looked at the little girl that was jumping in her bed. She yawned wide as she sat up, grabbed Ella around her waist and pulled her down in the bed. She held her down as she closed her eyes again, the girl giggling hard.

"Aunt Bri! Mom told me to wake you up!"

"Just five more minutes…"

"No, mom said you would say that, and if you did it, I'm supposed to tell you not to." Ella explained.

"Just five more minutes…" Sabrina smiled, drifting off to sleep.

"Moooom!!" Ella yelled, and Sabrina put a pillow over her own head.

Kelly rushed into the room a moment later.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm stuck and aunt Bri is falling asleep again!"

Kelly laughed at the sight, and she made her way to Sabrina's feet, lifted the cover and began tickling her. Sabrina may be though and hard as ice, but she can not stand being tickled. She threw herself of from the bed, and Ella was left alone in the big bed, laughing and giggling.

"Kris made breakfast." Kelly smiled.

"How is she holding up?"

"She's doing a good job. The fact that we'll go looking for Jill within a few hours is giving her some extra strength I think."

Sabrina nodded.

"Yeah, hopefully we'll find them today."

"Find who?" Ella asked curios.

"Do you remember aunt Jill?" Kelly asked, and Ella shined up as a sun.

"Yeah, she did my hair and bought me ice cream!"

Jill had been to Los Angeles for a couple of days about two weeks after Ella had moved in with Kelly.

"Well, she is here somewhere and we're going to look for her today."

"Is she playing hide and seek?"

"Yeah, something like that." Kelly smiled towards the girl, and then looked up at Sabrina who were also smiling.

"I wanna find her!" Ella smiled, still thinking it all was a game.

"We all do. But come now, let's go into the kitchen and let Sabrina get dressed in private. And she better be out within a few minutes." Kelly said, taking the little girl's hand, and giving Sabrina a teasingly look.

"Yeah, no going back to sleep!" Ella demanded, and both Sabrina and Kelly couldn't help but laugh.

"Like mother like daughter." Sabrina said, making a salute.

Two hours later, they stepped on the boat together with about 10 other people. There was about 15 boats out looking for them.

"The island isn't that big. They must be here somewhere."

"Well, let's get moving."

A couple of minutes later, they were riding down along the beach, to cross of another place of the map.

By lunch, there was still no sign of any type of humans along the beaches and shores. Kris had excused herself several times and disappeared down below, not wanting to break down in front of Ella, who was sitting in the fore, wrapped in a life vest. She was happy and smiling, and every time they saw an animal she was thrilled. She was the only one on the boat not worrying, and that's how they intended it. Now, they were all standing on deck, looking out towards the beaches as the radio made some sound. There was a lot of talking in Indonesian, and the leader of the group answered with a big smile, hung up and then turned the boat into an slightly other direction.

"What's going on?"

"They've found them. They're just four miles up this beach."

"Are they okay?"

"He didn't know much, just said they'd found seven alive people."

They all let out a deep breath and happily hugged each other.

"Oh thank God!"

Just about 10 minutes later, they reached the beach where three other boats all ready had laid anchor. There was about thirty people on the beach. They could see the coast guard getting closer. Kris was first off the boat. She jumped down the ladder, and didn't care that she landed in the water. She ran up to the big gang, screened the area, and saw her sister laying down in the sand, several people surrounding her.

"Jill!?"

Kris watched her sister open her eyes in surprise, and rose into a sitting position, in the same time as Kris knelt besides her, and they hugged for a long time.

"Oh, I was so scared!" Kris cried against her sister's shoulder.

Jill stroke her hair and closed her eyes.

"I'm so glad you're here. I didn't think you were."

"Of course! The others are here too."

"You're fantastic." Jill whispered as they released each other.

Kris noticed the compress taped down to Jill's forehead, and removed it to find a large bump and deep cut.

"Oh my, are you all right? You need to go to a hospital." Kris said, carefully fingering at the deep cut, and stopped when she noticed Jill wincing.

"Yeah, I'm all right, just have a hell of a headache… Justin's pretty sure I have a concussion."

As they talked, the coast guard stopped at the beach, and two paramedics came up to them.

"There are another boat with paramedics coming within a few minutes. Who of you needs most help?" One of the paramedics asked.

"John, the man up there." Jill pointed. "He's having a high fever, Justin mentioned something about a dengue fever. Then take care of Anna, the young blonde over there." Jill answered quickly, and the paramedics ran of.

Jill met her sister's worried eyes. "They are much worse than me. He could have a dangerous infection, she's having trouble breathing."

Kris nodded and tried a smile. Jill looked up and saw the others walking up to them. The others that had surrounded Jill earlier had backed off when Kris came. Now Ella let go of Kelly's hand and ran the last bit - which is easier said than done when there's deep sand and you're five years old - up to Jill.

"Aunt Jill!" She smiled, and Jill hugged the little girl. Ella then sat down in Kris' lap.

"Are you here too?" Jill smiled, patting Ella's head.

"Yepp! We found you, you didn't hide that good!"

Jill looked at her a bit confused, and Kelly chipped in.

"We're playing hide and seek, weren't we?"

Jill laughed as she looked up at the others.

"Are you okay?" Bosley asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah. Just hungry like everybody else, and a bit dizzy and nauseas."

"Well, being hungry isn't anything unusual for you, right?" Sabrina smiled, and the others giggled along with her.

Jill was just about to defend herself as two paramedics came up to them, and the angels backed off to let them work on Jill. Kris lifted Ella and placed her on her hip.

"Aunt Kris?"

"Yes?"

"What are they doing to aunt Jill?"

"They are making sure that she is okay."

"Isn't she?"

"Oh, she will be. A nice meal and a little sleep will make her fine." Kris said, wishing she could believe the words just as much as the girl did.

"Where are they taking her?" Ella asked as the paramedics helped Jill to lay down on the gurney.

Kris observed how her sister closed her eyes as she moved over, and tried to muffle a moan. They put a neck rest on her just in case, and rolled her down towards one of the coastguard boats.

"Kris, let me take her, you concentrate on Jill." Kelly smiled, and Kris came out of her trans. She smiled and handed Ella over to Kelly.

"Were are they taking her?" Ella asked again.

As Kelly talked to Ella, all of them went onto the boat, following the paramedics and Jill on the gurney.

"They are going to take her to the hospital to make sure she is all right."

Ella smiled and nodded, and then sat down next to Kelly and Bosley, and the boat drove off.
