Chapter 9
Nick and Dr. Honey Badger rushed back to the helicopter, and after giving Justin a shot of morphine, Nick started up the helicopter to head for Sand Island. After 1/2 hour battling the wind, Sand Island came into view. Judy was on the lookout for the old artillery spot because there would be enough flat land there to put down the helicopter. Nick is a little nervous about landing because of the wind. It's not until his fourth attempt to land, after bouncing up a couple times, that he finally manages to set the helicopter down safely. But not without a lot of cursing!
Judy spotted an old WW2 boat hanger that was used by the U.S. Navy to service their boats. Nick came running, saying he had spotted something very very dangerous. "There is a water spout, like a water tornado, coming straight for the hanger." Judy ran to the helicopter and yelled at Dr. Honey badger and the two assistants to grab Justin and all the medical supplies and get them loaded on the stretcher.
Nick found a bunker where they can all hide from the water spout so he runs and tells them to follow him. after they are all safe in the bunker they check every hour to see if the storm is still happening. On the last trip up the stairs to check the storm, Nick trips. When he turns to see what he has tripped over he sees an old WW2 radio. After checking the storm once more, he sees it is dark and decides they will spend the night in the bunker.
On the way back to tell the others his decision, he picks up the radio and takes it with him.
Everyone decides to go to sleep. Justin ends up sleepwalking and picks up the radio and puts it on the table. In his sleep, he is trying to get the radio to work, Nick wakes up because he hears banging and he sees Justin Justin playing with the radio. Nick quietly wakes Judy and the others and warns them not to wake Justin, as it is dangerous to wake someone who is sleep walking. just then, Justin falls off the chair and wakes up.
Justin sees everyone staring at him. Nick tells him that he can walk, but Justin does not believe him. Everyone tells him to stand up, so he does. Justin is a bit wobbly at first, but he is standing. Everyone could see the joy on his the group hears static from the radio. A voice comes on saying "this is a US Army radio signal. Turn to a different channel, or you will be arrested and put in a military court."
Justin garbs the radio and says "We're in the middle of a storm. I'm from the S.W.A.T. Team and I have two police officers with me." There is static once again on the radio before a voice came over the radio saying "state your name!" He says "Justin, and I am Nick and Judy from Washington." The man on the other end of the radio says "we will try to get a helicopter out to rescue you as soon as the storm is over well tire to get to a plan together."
"this is Washington D.C. please get off the allies radio wave or be arrested for war crime why bomb Hawaii." "we are in the middle of a war! "
