Hell of A Storm (Twisters Tyler x OC)

Chapter 13 - Leave The Light On

Here is the second part to the last chapter. Like I said chapter 12 and 13 were gonna be one chapter but there was just so much going on and it was so long I chose to split the chapters.

I have maybe one more chapter before we close out where the movie ends, but I really want to keep this going because I am just in love with Anna and Tyler, and I am not ready to have their story end.

I'm sure there are errors... I was so excited to post that I'm sure I missed a few when I was editing.

"You hear from them yet?" Kate asked me a few hours later walking into the barn.

"They were in Oklahoma City an hour ago." I sighed leaning back in my chair, eyeing my phone on the corner of the desk. "Lily said they were going to take a look at a few systems coming in."

"Which one do you think they'll take?" she asked, eyeing the radar on the computer behind me. I had looked up the systems in the area after they left, but had been fighting the urge to track them, knowing it wouldn't help my anxiety.

"Lawton." I breathed out. "Has the better moisture level and temperature inversion." I watched her as she looked at the two storms and slowly nodded. My phone beside me buzzed and I groaned, running my hand over my face in frustration. Kate scowled at me, pulling back from the computer to look down at my phone and raised an eyebrow.

"Your mom?" She questioned.

"She's been calling all morning." I answered.

"And you haven't answered it?"

"I'm not ready to have that conversation... I'm assuming news stories have finally reached them." I said shaking my head and Kate gave me a warm understanding smile. Clearing my throat, I nodded for her to look at something on the other computer in front of me, over my shoulder. "Hey, I have to show you something." Quickly I pulled up an email my boss had sent me that morning.

US National Weather Service Little Rock, Arkansas – Position Opening

"Holy Shit." Kate breathed. "Are you considering it?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "Marcos mentioned it this morning when I talked to him, said that if I wanted to pursue the tornado tamer project, he'd be happy to transfer me to Little Rock. Would give me the ability to work on the road, he said it would help them gather data too."

"That's huge Anna." Kate smiled. "Why aren't you more excited?"

"Because it's a huge decision to come back and... I don't know..." I groaned. "We were supposed to only be here a week, now we're going on three and I have an offer to move here to study the thing I was running from..."

"The thing that you love." Kate corrected sitting on the corner of the desk and I glared at her.

"What if it's a mistake?" I whispered looking back at the email. Shaking my head I looked back at her. "Marcos told me to think about it."

"You should," Kate nodded with a smile, before looking over her shoulder at Javi standing in the doorway of the barn. "We're gonna go into town, pick up groceries for mom while she works on the brisket, you wanna come?"

"I'm good," I shook my head. "I have some files and data to get through."

"You gonna watch their live?" she asked curiously.

"No..." I narrowed my eyes at her, but she just gave me a smirk as a response before leaving the barn. Shaking my head I opened the next set of data that was sent to me but found it hard to focus. I felt like I had read over the numbers four times and still none of it seemed to stick. "Dammit." I rolled my eyes reaching for the other computer with the radar up and pulled up the Tornado Wranglers YouTube page, selecting the live video.
