After about 30 minutes of mourning her little brother, Anna stood up from her spot on the rubble. She brushed the tears off her cheeks. In a desperate panic, she knew she had to get out of that house. Making good timing, Anna packed everything she could use. She ran into the room where she stayed while at her grandmothers. The dresser was smashed, but the shards of the mirror still clung together. She stepped towards it, watching her distorted reflection in the mirror as if it would attack her at any moment. She caught something in the corner of her eyes.
"COLE?!" Her little brother lay underneath her bed. She ran to him, brushing debris off of him. He didn't awake, but he was breathing. She hugged him to her, tears of releaf streaming down her cheeks again. "I'm never letting you out of my sight again, you hear me?" Her eyes darted out the window. The sun was nearly about to set. "Common honey, we're leaving." With Cole over her shoulder, Anna made her way out the front door.
Anna skimmed the area for a working car. Her voltswagen and her grandmothers jeep were both trashed. (Yes, she's the one with the voltswagen) In fact, it seemed as if every car in sight was unopperable. That was when she heard a fuzziness. She jumped, sending the bag around her shoulder to spill half of its contense. She sat Cole down and picked up her belongings. The fuzziness intruded once more. It was coming from an orange juice truck. Anna's heart thumped uncontrollably.
She left Cole laying by her bags as she stepped towards the truck to investigate. "Hello?" She breathed. That was when she heard Summer Kings' first broadcast. She ran toward the passenger seat, swung the door open, and lunged in. She picked up the CB radio. "How do you work this thing?" She yelled in frustration. "Hello? Summer? Hello? I'm alive! Hello?"
