Miranda POV :

Bakersfield

"I can't believe he was going to leave tuck." I said furiously

"You know what, the bastard got what he deserved."I said fuming

" okay calm down miranda."ben said

"how do you expect me to calm down. Our son could've have died."

"Look I'm not saying that I'm not mad but all that matters is tucks okay." he said placing his hand on my thigh trying to calm me

" Yeah your right." I said breathing slowly to calm myself.

"Hey, you know what I just realized?" I said slightly smiling at him.

"What's that." he asked keeping his eyes ahead.

" When you were talking to tuck you mentioned Dani's name, it's just been so long since I've heard you speak of her ." I said and he smiled lightly at me not really responding.

The mention of Dani made him go quite for a minute.

"Hey, you know that trip we took to San Francisco ?"he asked suddenly

"Of course." I said.

"Did you know tuck still has pictures-."he said looking at me

"in his collectors book." I said and we both laughed lightly.

I missed us being like this. Ever since we broke things off a few years back we never really were like we used to be, even after we decided to be friends

"You know it's kind of ironic that we're heading back up there." I said

"Yeah it was a fun trip."he said smiling gently .

" You remember the time we took them on there first helicopter tour."I said smiling as I reminisced on the times we shared as a family together.

"Yeah there little eyes got so big, they were holding on to me for dear life." he said laughing

" But they enjoyed it after getting used to it."I said

"Oh they sure did, I remember every time I got of a work early I would here, "daddy can you take us on your helicopter" ." He said as he mimicked the kids playfully.

" and i remember you couldn't resist saying yes because my babies had there moms Bailey eyes as everyone liked to call it."

" The Bailey eyes they'll get you , it's like some sort of trickery." He said laughing and i playfully hit his arm."

After a while we got quiet again until we heard the wailing of sirens beneath us.

"Where are we." I asked looking out the glass.

"Bakersfield or what's atleast left of it." he said as he looked out of the glass as well.

"Which is about a good 90 minutes away from San Francisco." he added before we heard something on the helicopter explode and Ben started to lose control

"Ben what was that." I asked worried but he didn't respond he was focused on getting back in control, but then suddenly he turned off the engine and I was confused

"Ben did you just turn off the engine." I asked this time almost in a panicking

"Yeah we have a gearbox failure , it must have happened in L.A." he told me

" Okay what does that have to do with you turning off the engine."I asked him still visibly terrified

" Everything is going to be okay miranda but I have to auto rotate down."he said

"A-Auto what?." I asked

" It means we're going to crash."he said so calmly that it scared me

"Benjamin."I said intently

"Miranda we're going to be okay I'm promise, just make sure you hold on."he said

"Okay."I said

"we're about to go down right about now."he said as the helicopter began to shake uncontrollably.

After every few seconds of falling Ben would jolt the helicopter back up, so that we would have a easy landing .

When we were close to ground Ben thought he would land in what seemed to be an empty parking lot, but when we were close enough we noticed people with buggy's and so he tried to swerve the helicopter in a different direction but it spiraled out of control and crashed into the grocery store.

" Are you okay."Ben asked

"Yeah."I said groaning a little from the ringing in my ears

"Well we have to get out of here, we have gas fluid all over us ."he said

I didn't say anything I just nodded and got out , my ears were still ringing and my vision was a little blurred , but I was starting to slowly gain things back

When we got out we grabbed some clothes off the racks we saw , and we were headed to go change but we were stopped by the sudden outbreak of violence happening as people fought for items in the store.

"Okay we gotta get out of here."Ben said as he grabbed my hand

"stay low okay."he said and I nodded following right behind him

We thought the caos was mainly inside but we were mistaken , as we heard gun shots being fired and saw people trampling people with carts.

I guess Ben saw the worried look on my face because when he looked back at me he reassured me that we'd be okay

"We just got to keep going." he said as we hid behind a cart of buggy's before we moved again

As we moved Ben tried opening doors of cars but none of them would budge , until he noticed a man loading his car and running back in the store.

When the man left for the second time ben grabbed my hand and we ran towards the car.

"It looks broken into."I said as I got in noticing the wires

"Well we'll just steal again."Ben said before I saw a gun pointed at the of his head

"Ben."

"It's okay Miranda."

"Back up slowly." The man said as he kept the gun to Bens head

" is there a problem." Ben asked as he slowly turned around to look at the man

"Yeah, I need that truck , so move before I blow your brains out."

"Okay, calm down, no need to be hostile." Ben said staring at the gun

"Is there something not clicking, I said move NOW."the man said louder and I heard him click the gun

"Okay."ben said and the man pushed him away

When the man turned his back ben wrapped his arm around the man's neck , pulling the gun out of his hand, as he fell to the ground.

"Yeah well I need this truck more."ben said as the man stopped moving

"Oh thank god."I said letting go of the breath I was holding

"Yeah, but let's get out of here , he's not going to stay sleep for long." Ben said getting in and starting the car.
