Jo, Natalie, Bill, and Melissa driving in his truck with the next DOROTHY loaded up in the back. Melissa and Natalie are in the back while Jo and Bill are in the passenger seat. For once, they weren't arguing, which amazed Natalie.
"This is the caboose, this is the caboose! I'm waiting for orders, Boss!" Dusty said. Both Jo and Bill grab for the radio mic. They hesitate, then both grab again. Natalie sighed.
"Just freaking choose who's going to grab it!" She said.
"Go ahead." Bill said.
"It's your truck." Jo told him. Natalie sighed and rolled her eyes.
"No, really. You should." Finally, Jo picks up the radio mic and starts talking into it. "Dusty, the battle zone should be northeast of 81."
"Copy that, Jo."
"Wait a minute. Battle zone? Billy, what're we doing?" Melissa asked. Bill was focused on driving and Jo was looking at the maps.
"It means, we're going out again." Natalie explained.
"Again? But back there you almost got yourself killed!" Melissa nearly shouted.
"It's in the job description of being a tornado chaser." Natalie told her. "And, anyways it was a close call." She sighed and looked out the window.
"You're gonna cross 15 on Oklahoma412. 412." Rabbit informs Jo over the radio. Jo starts talking to Haynes. They keep driving. Jo dramatically leans over to see the speedometer. Goin' 50. She slaps her forehead. That's too slow! Bill rolls his eyes and speeds up. Off in the distance you could see another twister. Then over to Jonas' group. Jo's group speeds up so that they're neck and neck.
"There's your pal." Jo said to Bill as they passed Jonas' van. Bill and Jonas glare at each other and keep driving. Suddenly, Bill slams on the breaks.
"What're you doin', what're you doin'?!" Jo exclaims.
"Look at the updraft, the angle! It's gonna shift it's track!" Bill said answering her question.
"Are you sure?" Jo asked.
"Oh yes. It's defiantly a sidewinder! It'll move left." Jo realized that Bill was correct. The tornado was going to shift its track.
"Is that bad?" Melissa asked. "No." Natalie answered. "Not for us anyways."
"Wasn't there a road back there?" Bill asked.
Jo, then, answered him, looking back. "You're right, go, go, go, GO, GO!!!!"
Bill turns the truck around, driving fast. Then turns right onto a different road and speeds ahead. Melissa's phone rings.
"Hello?! Donald, now's not a very good time for me, okay? What...all right, put Julie on. Okay." The tornado starts to shift to the left, just like Bill predicted.
Melissa responding to the phone call with "Uh-huhs" and "Yeahs" while Jo listens in with Natalie.
"I know it feels unnatural but with Donald's motility, you're not gonna have this baby the old-fashioned way. Even if you stand on your head."
Natalie peered over the seat and gave Bill a look, while Jo looked at him weirdly. Then, he explained, "She's a, reproductive therapist."
"Laurence? Laurence come in, we've got to get ahead of this storm, what's on the satellite?" Jo asks Laurence into the radio.
"I can't talk to you right now; I'll have to call you back." Melissa says, hanging up her cell phone.
"Twister south, skipping south, shifting to south, we have a, F2, ladies and gentlemen, possibly F3. You with me? It's a very, very large rope on the ground. Very large. Right on the ground." Laurence explained.
"It looks like its turning; it looks like its turning. The atmosphere is very unstable! Repeat, unstable!!" Joey says into the radio then Rabbit said, "This is Rabbit, this is Rabbit, it's at 2:00, it's headed this way!!"
"This is Sanders, this is Sanders!!! We're driving due east on a country road we've been on for about 6 miles. We've got an F3, 2, sitting on the ground, and she's a beauty! WHOOHOO!!!!"
"Jo, its Barn Burner, its Barn Burner! It's not gonna hang out long. It's not hanging out long!!" Dusty said.
"We're getting slammed in here guys, you better hang back." Bill says. The rest of the group slows down a bit, while Bill, Jo, and Melissa drive on. They see the tornado. Jo grabs a camera.
Jo is about to take a picture of the tornado, when she notices the rain on the window. He floors the gas. They approach a bridge going over a large lake. The tornado is hanging over the lake, sucking up water. The four are racing it in Bill's truck. Suddenly, the twister splits in half. Now there's two!
"Okay, we've got sisters!" Bill announced.
"We're right under the flanking line." Said Jo.
"Julie, I know you're upset, you just gotta, breathe, we've both just gotta breathe!" Melissa says into her phone talking to Julie. Suddenly, a cow flies past, in front of them.
"Cow." Jo and Natalie said at the same thing.
"Another cow." Jo says as the same cow flies by.
"Actually, I think that was the same one mom." Natalie said.
"We've got drunkards here, we've got no path!" Bill said.
He floors the gas, and then realizes that won't work; the truck can't go that fast, he slams on the breaks. The whole time they're all screaming. There are now three tornadoes, swirling around the truck like a carousel.
"HANG ON!!" Bill shouts. The truck begins to slide and spin. "Honey, hang on!"
Melissa screams, Natalie and Jo grabs the roof of the car. Unexpectedly, the twisters elevate back into the clouds and are gone. For a second, all look like in shock. Then Bill and Jo hop out of the truck excited, leaving Melissa, still frozen with fear. Jo and Bill hug and laugh. Natalie climbs out and makes sure that was DOROTHY undamaged.
"God! Was that incredible?!" Jo screams. "Did you see it? It was incredible!" Jo replies screaming back. Jo points up to the clouds where the twisters disappeared.
The team arrives in their trucks. Jo screams to the rest of her team, "Did you see that?!!" Meanwhile, Bill was trying to calm down Melissa. "Relax, Melissa. It's just the start of it all." Natalie said, smirking.
"Three times a lady!" Beltzer says.
Joey says, "Did you see the inflow jets on these fatties?"
Jo tells them the entire epic tale as she climbs up into the back of truck, by DOROTHY and Natalie.
Jo screams, "Did you see? I was sitting in the middle of it!!!!!"
Laurence says, "I was thinking, it may not be too bad of an idea, if we just got the hell out of here.'Cuz that was defiantly too many tornadoes back there...... "
Jo replied, "Are you kidding? This thing's not over, we've only seen the start of it! "
Rabbit says, "Hey, you know what, uh, Jo, somebody couldn't help but notice how close we are to Wakita."
"No!" Jo said.
"Come on mom!" Natalie says.
"Yeah, and Aunt Meg wouldn't mind a pit stop, right?" Sanders says after Natalie.
"Red meat, we crave sustenance!" Dusty says smiling.
"Guys, we are not invading my aunt!" Jo yells.
"FOOD!!! FOOOOD!!!!" Everyone but, Bill, Melissa, and Jo chants food over and over again.
"HEY!! We are absolutely not going!" Natalie smirked knowing that they would end up going to Wakita to visit Aunt Meg and get something to eat. It always happened. And most of the team was in need of a shower.
