Chapter 404

“They are in there,” stated Lena as she pointed to the building.

Saint felt the hairs on his neck stand up as he surveyed the shaky building. It was obvious even to his young eyes that what was left of the building would not remain standing much longer.

“It is worse now than before!” cried the girl as she let go of Saint’s hand and rushed to the rubble that was once a large building. She scampered over some wooden flooring that was twisted on edge and climbed to what was left of a second floor window. Without a backward glance she went through the opening and was lost from sight.

Saint stood transfixed for a few seconds, debating whether to search for his father or go help the girl. Suddenly, he spotted Ruth and Theresa and he knew what he had to do.

“Girls! Go find Dad and tell him I went into that building to help that girl. She said there are a lot of people in that building,” shouted Saint as he began running toward the large, dangerous structure.
