A Second Chance

2015 November

Chapter 20

2015 November

Saturdays, Caden was sure he was the only person in the world who does not like Saturdays.

Tammy seemed pretty fond of them but Tammy seemed pretty fond of just about everything.

Caden smiled at the thought as he watched the girl in question twirl her hair as she played on her phone.

Caden was actually really happy to be at work again. He was fully healed and should not have any problems continuing to work for ARRO, so he was very thankful that car crash caused no permanent damage.

Anderson had let Tammy back on the search team a few months back and they actually ended up finding the little boy. Tammy was happy, Anderson was relieved, and Caden was glad to know she could not get any more attached.

Tammy had visited Caden every chance she got when he was stuck in the hospital, as did Anderson. Even Samantha showed up a few times. Caden only started to grow closer to her the times she actually showed up without Tammy.

He couldn't lie it shocked him to see her care he was hurt but at the same time it made him feel even closer to her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The helicopter landed in the middle of a street.

At first Caden thought it was a ridiculous place to land but when he hopped out he noticed the streets were completely empty, not a car was in sight.

Caden looked around the trashed place as the rain continued to poor down. The water was rising and it was a scary thought to think this whole town could be underwater in a day.

The helicopter took off to get somewhere else for the time being, because it was to hard to fly in the wind and rain.

Then a woman drove up in a car and jumped out quickly. She ran up to them and left her car door open, which would probably ruin the inside of her car.

"Please you have to help me!" She pleaded.

Caden and Tammy both looked at her knowing this is who had called.

"My kids, I can't find them!" She told them.

Caden placed his hands on the woman's shoulders to calm her down.

"Hey it's alright, we're going to look for them, you need to get out of here though." Caden explained as the water had risen a few more inches.

This was probably the only person left in town as everyone else had already evacuated to stay with a friend or family member.

Suddenly Caden had felt pity for the people who lived here. He can't imagine just leaving your home behind just to let a flood ruin whatever was left.

The woman had calmed down and Caden was glad to see.

"They had a treehouse in the woods. They might be there." She told them.

As soon as she did she ran back to her car shutting the door and driving off.

Caden stood in the rain soaked along with Tammy. There was no time to waste but before Caden left he wanted to just get one last look at this place as a sign of respect for those who had to leave.

"You ok Caden?" Tammy asked concerned.

He nodded. It was just a hard sight to see.

They both then started running toward the woods that was just right outside of the woman's house. They ran as fast as they could not considering they might not find it. It honestly could be anywhere.
