Buck is continuing to find his way through the city to find Christopher. He sees another group looking for their friend.
"I'm so sorry sir, could you help us, we are looking for our friend her name is sarah here is a pic of her" the girl says showing him her phone.
"Yeah, of course"
He walks through the city calling the girls name when he years someone yell.
"I'm under here, help"
Buck runs and sees that she is under a  pile of rubble. He starts trying to free her by throwing the stuff that is on top of her onto the ground beside his foot. As he's picking up a piece of metal cuts his arm. He rips his shirt and ties it around it to stop the blood.

After around 5 mins he frees the girl and cheeks if she is ok.
"thank you so much, do you want to use my phone to call someone?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, of course" one of the girls say handing him the phone.

"Hey, buck what's wrong I'm kinda busy"
"I lost Christopher!"
"What do you mean you lost him?"
"Eddie dropped him off at mine to get me put of the house, it did, but I brought him to the pier"
"You where there!? Are you hurt?"
"That dosnt matter, I dont have my phone can you call eddie for me , I'm using someone elses phone so dont try call back I'm gonna keep looking"
"I'll call him just be safe"

He thanks the girl and hands her back her phone.
"I hope you find your son" the girl yells.
"Yeah, thanks"

Eddie is sitting with Christopher when his phone rings.
