Race Against Time Part 2

The Chan kids quickly sat down in the living room, acting as if they heard nothing, Henry and Stanley pretended to start playing cards, Suzie started knitting a scarf, Alan and Tom both opened up a book, Flip and Nancy quickly started munching on some popcorn, while Mimi and Scooter played with Chu Chu.

"Children, I'm stepping out for a moment." Charlie said.

"Where are you going, Pop?" Henry asked, pretending to be as clueless as Stanley.

"Just taking care of some business, Henry, nothing to concern yourself with, I will call you shortly. In the meantime, everyone waits here." Charlie said sternly.

"Sure thing, Pop, you can count on us." Flip said.

"Yeah, you can count on us." Scooter said to his father.

Charlie left the house with Kaori, Flip quickly got up to rush to the window.

The very instant he saw the two adults drive off.

"Last one to the Chan Van gets to listen to Stanley's jokes for an hour!" Flip shouted.

"Hey!" Stanley shouted, clearly offended.

Ignoring Stanley, the kids dashed to the Chan Van, got inside, and, with Alan driving, raced to the hospital.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Anne was hooked up to monitors as a medical team worked long and hard to save her life.

Anne was in a highly deep coma.

"How's she coming?" the doctor asked.

"We got all the water out of her lungs, Sir," a male nurse answered the doctor. "but she has severely lost a lot of blood and she has hypothermia!"

"We need to give her a blood transfusion, stat!" the doctor ordered.

While all of this was going on, Anne felt a warm sensation in her mind.

Anne saw a vision of a beautiful woman with long black hair and brown eyes.

"Hello, Anne, my brave one," the woman said. "do you remember me?"

Anne looked at the woman clearly, "Okāsan?" she asked.

"Sore wa tadashī." the woman said.

"I am glad to be with you," Anne said to her mother. "I have been missing you for six long years!"

Back in the Chan van, Henry was riding shotgun with Alan.

"Quick, Henry! I can see the woman's car in front of us," Alan called. "you had better give us a cover!"

Henry hit a Chan plan that simply turned the van into a supply delivery truck.
