Excerpt
He pushed the door shut against the howling wind and snow and stamped
off his feet coming face to face with a terrified looking probie.
“We have school kids and a teacher trapped up at Shorefields,” Seth
snapped out. Probie blinked at him. He recalled the guy’s name was Evan or Eben
or something. And it seemed like Evan/Eben was in complete panic mode and
meltdown. He glanced worriedly from side to side, like some kind of divine
intervention was going to answer Seth’s statement.
“There’s no one here,” Evan/Eben said.
Seth waited for a second then exasperated that there wasn’t more of an
immediate reaction he pushed past Evan/Eben and into the main area. Both trucks
gone.
“I said, they’re not here, ladder one didn’t come back in from the
interstate, and engine two went out to Middleton Springs. There’s been a
building collapse. It’s just me.”
Seth rounded on the guy and was so close he could see the panic in blue
eyes.
“Get on to other stations and call this in—“
“I can't. Sir, we have nothing. No comms, no Internet, nothing.”
“Give me a sitrep. What’s your name? Evan? Eben?” Seth ordered.
The probie blinked at him then visibly pulled himself together. He was
new since Seth had been put on leave. He’d had training, but this was probably
his first real situation.
“Evan sir, Evan Pritchard. Uhmmm… Both engines out, reports of major
incidents, last said the storm has taken out power. I’m alone here…” He paused.
“And sir, I’m not sure what to do.”
Seth considered what he’d been told. Ten kids, Casey, Shorefields,
trapped in the bus, which meant they had maybe managed to get away from
Shorefields itself and had no way of getting back. He doubted they were set for
extreme weather.
“Okay. I want you here. You’re not to leave and you’re to keep your eyes
on comms, see if we can get more intel. I need supplies in a bag from the
kitchen, water, energy bars.”
“What are you going to do?”
Seth looked directly at him. Evan needed to know where he was going.
“There’s a bus load of kids trapped up at Shorefields and I’m going to help.
I’m taking the Land Rover.”
He didn’t leave room for discussion, simply presented the facts a done
deal. He should wait for a team, for backup, but there was nothing stopping him
from getting to Jamie and the kids. And Casey.
“Yes, sir.”
They split, Seth checking the truck he was going to use, a modified
vehicle capable of getting through most of the shit life could throw at it. It
was equipped with most of the things he could need. Then
as an afterthought, he grabbed coats from the supply room. He knew the kids
would be dressed warm. After all, the whole day had been a winter experience in
a beautiful place.
He was supposed to be there with Casey. He’d said he was staying at home.
Time is not right to start thinking I’ve
fucked up.
