Debbie was engulfed in flames and for moment worried had Erica killed her and was she now serving her eternal sentence for having unleashed this monster on the earth.
"Mom! Mom!" Her son's cries snapped Debbie back to reality.
"Derek! I'm over here. Follow my voice." Debbie yelled back.
From the smoke two figures emerged, her son and his best friend. Debbie embraced Derek as he fell into her arms. For a moment things felt right. But of course reality had to ruin the moment.
"Did they do it Mom? Did the jets kill her? Derek asked, his voice trembling.
In the midst of the hell fire raining down from the sky Debbie had lost sight of Erica. How she managed to lose sight of the towering pregnant woman was anyone's guess. Burning trees and pillars dark smoke loomed above her. No shot she could spot anything through all this. Debbie called Steve hoping he could be her eye in the sky.
As Steve and Beth watched Nancy Archer Park descend into a battlefield from the roof of the high school Steve's phone buzzed to life and Beth quickly went to answer turning on the speaker.
"Steve, Steve. We can't see anything. We survived the bombing. Did they get her? Is Erica dead?" Debbie asked in between coughing fits.
"Hold on Debbie. We'll check. Beth do you have a visual on Erica?" Steve asked.
Beth took her binoculars and scanned the smoke filled sky.
"I can't see anything. The smoke is too thick. Wait hold on. I think I see something. Oh my God!" Beth said unable to rip her eyes away from her binoculars.
