Finally, she reached the debris just as the earthquake stopped. Bette hesitated a moment, not believing the shaking was really over. She dropped to her knees quickly, pushing debris out of the way. She could make out the form of Tina’s arm under part of the refrigerator, her skin deathly white and bright blood streaking down her arm.
Bette pulled at her hair in desperation, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Tina!” she screamed. “Please answer me, baby! Please be alive!”
She was met by silence, except for the dim screams, alarms, and sirens ringing about outside in the neighborhood around her. Bette’s head suddenly snapped up. “*****, Angelica!”
Bette barreled back across the kitchen, leaping over breaks in the floor and snatched up the baby monitor from floor. Relieved that all she heard was the baby’s deep, steady breathing, she rushed down the hall and into Angelica’s bedroom.
She stopped in the doorway, panting slightly, relieved to see that no damage had reached near the baby’s crib. Angelica still lay peacefully sleeping. How she’d slept through that, Bette would never know. “Oh thank God,” she breathed, rushing over to kiss Angelica all over her face.
Assured that their daughter was okay, Bette hurried back into the kitchen. Pulling more debris off the pile, she began working to clear a path to find Tina. She heard an ominous creak and glanced up. The rest of the wall and ceiling were nearing collapse. Time was working against her. And God forbid any aftershocks come.
Bette desperately threw boards and hunks of plaster behind her, ignoring the splinters and small cuts that began littering her hands. “Tee, please answer me!” she called frantically, her vision blurring with tears.
Still, she received no answer.
Alice and Dana were traveling along in the Mini on a peaceful stretch of highway far removed from the usual roadways they saw everyday. It was beautiful to see open land that didn’t have a Starbucks or Walgreens on every corner; the developers had yet to snatch this land up yet. Only the occasional house, billboard, and road signs dotted the area along the highway.
Dana turned to Alice and smiled, grateful that they seemed to be on good terms again.
