Gina at the compound, screamed "Oh God" She had seen
the events available on TV, including her Mother Screaming
her dad’s name and then seconds later crying profusely,
just fainted.
People in the compound stood around their TVs. Peter and
Susan came in where David was. David and Peter looked
expecting to see Tommy come into the room at any
moment but no Tommy.
David: “Gina fainted. She always thought that he Mother
would be the cause of harm coming to her father.”
At that point Gina awakened.
Gina: “I had a bad dream about dad.” It was a dream
wasn’t it?” Looking at David.
Gina: She stood up and staggered a little. “Is it possible
someone could have survived such an implosion?”
Peter: “There were people found alive in the rubble
of the twin towers.”
Gina: “Yes you are right.”
The building as seen on TV showed a complete collapse.
There was even water seen around the area that fueled
speculation that maybe a water main was broken
or something.
Linda McKinley and her mother picked up Victoria and a
distraught Dana who had tried to make it to the building but
authorities would not allow here access.
Hammond: After a few hours on the scene. “Well, that’s that.”
He went back to his hotel room, thinking about the days events.
Gina: “Oh my God, where is Tom?” She rushed into his small
play room and he was playing obliviously with his computer games.
Tom: “Mom, dad did you see what happened to Grandpa on TV?”
He looked up at his TV that was still on with the sound down low.
David: “Tom, have you had the sound down all this time?”
Tom: “No, I turned it down because I didn’t want to hear any more.”
Gina: “Tom," She grabs and hugs him. "Do you know that your
Grandpa was in that building? We need to wait until they remove
a lot of rubble to see if they will find dad.”
Tom: “Ok Mom” He kept playing.
Gina and David left him to grieve in his own way because
right now what seemed apparent had not entered Tom’s
mind yet. He played until he fell asleep.
BACK TO DANA
Dana sitting in the back of Lady McKinley's car turned
all around. "I think I ought to go back and help him. It's
my fault, it's always my fault. It should have been me.
I am the one that deserved it."
She slid over to the back door and tried to open it so
that she could jump out.
Victoria: "No Ms Dana, he is in the hands of God now.
He would not want anything to happen to you, i'm sure."
She looks up with tears streaming down her face.
Deep down she is certain that she has missed the
only chance in her life to be happy.
A lot of women would pay to have a man that would
never give up on them, and she wouldn't even take
one for free.
Dana turned her head back to look again. She will
not stop looking backwards as if she was looking for someone
that was destine never to show up again.
THE END
