I have to find him..."Carter," he called as he shut his eyes, what if I...
don't think that way. his mind told him.
I can't help it...he lowered his head. I always end up screwing up something...
but that's part of who you are, his mind told him.
But what if...
to many what if's...you can't change who you are, and you can't change this. So go find him and stop complaining.
Carter needs his friends right now, and yes you are one of them.
You know what I'm...I'm Carter's friend. He started to walk a few steps, then stopped to a skidding holt. His jaw dropped and horror filled his eyes.
"Come take a look at this." Fargo said, still not sure what he is seeing.
"Is it a body?" Allison asked, not really wanting to know the answer to that but she had been lucky with Tess so maybe...she would get lucky again.
"No, not exactly." Fargo shot back.
"Wha..." Henry added turning to face Fargo.
"It...it's some boots, Carter's boots.
"Are there..." Allison asked now more worried.
"You want me to touch them?" She's got to be out of her mind if she thinks I'm going to touch them. Wasn't it enough that I found them. Henry, knowing that Fargo wouldn't dare do that, went over to the boots and picked one up.
"All boots, and they are ones that Carter would wear."
"So where is he?" Tess questioned still confused about what happened.
"Keep looking he's got to be somewhere." Fargo walked off looking more.
"Shh... Don't move." Everyone stood still. Fargo thought he heard something as well. "I hear splashing." Henry called.
"Water?"
"why would water be here..." Looking at Tess, Allison remembered the waterfall. She raced over to the side railing.
"Cater." she yelled.
"Allison." a voice called back to her.
"Cater is that you?" she yelled, this time bending over the rail.
"whoo. Hold on there." Henry gently grabbed her by the waist. "We don't need both of you in there." Henry, after making sure Allison was far enough back, looked over the edge to see if he could see Cater. But all he saw was blackness.
"Is Tess..."
"She's a little dazed but looks to be fine. How are you?"
"Wet," he laughed. "But it could be worse." he tried to joke some to lighten the mood.
"Henry, Fargo and me..." she looked around. "Where's Fargo?" Henry turned to scan the room.
"He was right here, but I don't see him now."
"You lost Fargo?" Carter question, how can someone lose a person that quick.
"They sure did." Henry swirled around, thinking that Fargo was still in the same room. When he didn't see him, he spun around again. He looked down in the darkness, "Fargo are you down there?"
"Carter, take my hand, let's get you out of there." Allison heard him say.
"They're in the basement." Commented Tess, then she started to shiver.
How did he get down there that quick. Allison questioned in her mind. Does he know that it leads down there? If so what else does he know. Allison staring at Tess, seeing that she was balled up trembling and rubbing her arms. Her hair shined a little too much. Crystals, in her hair. Now why would...it has to be just water, if Carter...but that didn't make any since to her either. How does one end up here and the other...Carter over there? The blast must have been real close to the two of them. Allison scratched her head. She saw her friend shiver again, this time it was like she was have a seizures.
"Tess what wrong?" she rushed to her side.
"Cold...so cold." she shook. Henry saw that something was not right and she needed to be watched.
"You stay with her, I'll go help Fargo with Carter." Henry peered both ways before entering the stairwell again. Hoping he wouldn't run into some guard. This is like a horror movie, having to watch every move he made. From the window, he could see the sun going down. He took the stairs two at a time. They didn't have much time before it would almost be impossible to see anything. Inside or out.
