[2.1] THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTNING, tyler owens

Sorry's and Second Chances

"He's gonna get someone killed if he keeps driving like that!" Jaymes yelled over all the excess noise. Javi grinned, "Hang on!"

"We gotta be in front of it." Javi said as he pushed harder on the gas. "We need to take a right, here." Jaymes commanded.

"Tinman to Scarecrow, tornado is moving east, steady at 17 miles per hour." Scott said in his usually monotone voice. The man sitting next to Scott spoke up, "Damn, dandelion girl is right." He said impressed, earning a look from Scott. "Just get us out of this hail."

Javi honked at the people on the side of the road that gathered to watch the Tornado Wranglers. "What are you doing?" He yelled. "It's the Tyler Owens affect. Wizard, hang back, get those hardrives fired up!"

Jaymes turned her attention to the computer. "The path is shifting, here!" She pointed to another dirt road for Javi to go down.

She heard that Tinman had set up his Par and felt her nerves rise again.

"Where Jaymes? We gotta be within 300 meters for the Par to work!" He yelled as Jaymes looked.

Her nerves danced inside her when she heard that Scarecrow was active.

"Here, take these." Javi handed her a pair of goggles. She watched as the windshield wipers started to break and squeak.

"C'mon Jaymes, talk to me! We're getting close!"

"Just up there on the prairie!"

Javi pulled the truck to a stop and they both got out, the wind practically slamming their doors shut for them.

"Jaymes! I need you!" Javi yelled, "Jaymes!"

She was swept down by a string wind and as she stood back up, she felt nothing but fear inside her. "Javi! Get in!" He closed the tailgate and ran for the passenger door while Jaymes went for the drivers.

She sped away from the tornado, while Javi sat confused.

"What is it? What do you see?"

"It's not right," she said, hating herself for the decision she was making.

"Just hold on guys, we have to find a closer spot!"

"Is this where it's headed?" Javi asked, getting concerned when Jaymes wouldn't answer.

When she parked the truck, Javi jumped out, even though she tried to stop him.

"We're to far!" He yelled in frustration.

He slammed the tailgate shut and Jaymes flinched. She hates when Javi is mad at her, and she felt horrible, but she wasn't ready.

She looked out her window when she heard blaring music. She just about died when she saw Tyler's face outside her window.
