Dance Moms - Lorelei (2) Finding Clara

Chapter 4 : Into the Zone

With his medical authority, Doctor Arroway arranged Chloe to go with the next rescue dispatch.

"Remember. Save yourself, so you can save others!" he held her hand like it was the very last time. "Good Luck!"

The truck drove out the shelter, Chloe watched Arroway waving away, she cried thinking how much he cared for her.

The rescue team headed north into the storm, the radio crackled on occasion, exchanging updates of the situation, of the storm expanding, and more teams pulling out.

Outside was a world Chloe has never seen, a flatland of wreckages from houses and cars, some were washing away by the flood.

And this is just the Yellow Zone... She told herself.

She checked the GPS tracker, much of the screen was showing map of vast woods, but the real world looked nothing like it. Forests were flattened, abandoned houses leaning at odd angles, and vehicles overturned like disposed toys.

The truck stopped where water began, a small boat approached from afar. It was carrying seven survivors.

"Last load!" the man steering the boat called, others got out and began helping the survivors to the truck.

"What do you mean?" Chloe ran up and asked.

"HQ has ordered us to pull out, the storm is heading our way."

"But we're still sixty miles out!"

"We are seven miles from the Red Zone and it's moving fast. It can reach us within minutes!" the boat man helped the last survivor out of the boat.

"No! I need to get there! There may still be people!"

"They just have to wait it out. We can't get near them without taking risk."

Before he realized, Chloe jumped on his boat, twisted the throttle and shot into the storm.

Clara! I'm coming!
