“Damn earthquake.’ Jake brushed off the dust from the bricks falling on him. “I really wish that hadn’t happened. Now everyone will know that I’m indestructible.”
“Hey!There’s people in there. Come help us!” A police officer yelled as he ran to the building.
Jake sighed and followed the officer. He ran inside and saved half a dozen people before the second collapse trapped him and a small boy.
“I saw it fall on you but you’re not dead.” The little boy said as he looked at Jake curiously
“What?” Jake stopped looking around and looked down at the boy.
“The bricks from the building, I saw them fall on top of you. Are you some kind of super hero?” The boy squinted at him.
“No. I’m just a guy that has the worst luck there is.” Jake looked around again. “I think I can get us out of here but you have to do exactly as I say.”
“Okay.” The boy stood up.
“What’s your name?” Jake asked the boy
“Tommy.”
“Well, Tommy, we are going to go through that tunnel but you are going to stay underneath me in case something falls again.” Jake walked to the opening and leaned over. He waited for the boy to join him.
“Okay.”
Tommy got under Jake and they made their way out of the rubble. When they got out tommy hugged Jake and looked around for his mother.
“I don’t see my mom. Her name is Cecelia.” Tommy looked up at Jake.
“I will look for her but you need to let the paramedic look at you.” Jake waved over a paramedic. “I’ll be right back.”
Jake asked the police officers if a woman named Cecelia had been found. One of them pointed to a body bag. Jake sighed and went to tell Tommy what had happened.
Tommy looked up as Jake walked back to him. “Did they find her?”
“Yeah. Jake sat on the step of the ambulance with him. “They want to know where your dad is.”
“He was killed in Afghanistan. It’s just us.” Tommy looked down. “She’s dead, isn’t she?”
“Yeah.” Jake sighed. “Do you have anyone to take you in?”
“No.” Tommy shook his head and started to cry.
“You do now.” Jake hugged him. “You do now.”
