Max and Chloe had huddled together on the chopper to keep warm, latter on one of the military personnel got on the radio at the front of the chopper.
"Delta this is Alfa , we've got an sos signal coming from about 2clicks north of you poisson,do you copy?
"Alfa this is delta we copy,sending troops to investigate."
Max POV:
An sos?? Well it's good to know there were more people who made it pass the storm, still hard to believe its all gone.
Chloe's POV:
Max...your still awake?
".....maybe!"
I know, I can't sleep, not with everything that's happened. The storm the death, making you choose. It's all still to much right now and ....I'm sorry.
Max POV:
Again with the apologizing Chloe wouldn't stop apologizing over and over, like I was really going to go back in time and let her die!
" Chloe , look you don't need to apologize, what's done is done.

Chloe smiled and shortly realized that for the last hour she was on Max's lap. Knowing this she quickly got up and moved to the charge next to Max. It was great having her old friend back after so long.
For the next half an hour max and Chloe tried to figure out what they were going to do after all hell calmed down.
Chloe's POV:
Ok so first things first, your going to call your folks and tell them your ok , um where are they again?
"There in Florida, they moved shortly after I went to black weld".
Well that's good and then what?
Max POV:
To be honest when Chloe asked me what we we're going to do after, I was stumped. To got to Florida from California was going to be hella of a long way, and with no money or place to stay, I didn't have a solid answer.
Chloe's POV:
Max dropped her head down to the ground.
I can tell Max had no idea what she was going to do next to be honest I don't think anyone had any idea of what to do next. I may not have powers but I know trouble when I see it.
It's been about an hour and later radio transmission from the cockpit of the chopper went on
"Alfa you are clear for landing!"
Max POV:
Even though I have never been in a chopper I could tell when he was about to land. My stomach had gone up to my throat. And the landing was  harsh, I felt like I might pass out for no reason.
Chloe's POV:
not going to lie I was hella happy to get off this fucking bird. I couldn't help but look over at Max and see that she was gripping the chair with all her might I reached over and placed my hand on her lap. She looked over at me and took my hand.
For some reason it send lightning down my spine. I don't know if it was from the excitement or the fact and Max took my hand but my heart was racing, it was beating so hard I couldn't tell if it was the helicopter writers or my heartbeat in my ears. Felt my face heat up so knew I was blushing. Still it was so dark out I don't think Max could see.
Max POV:
I was so scared I swear I could've jumped off the damn chopper if Chloe hadn't bin there at the last minute. I don't know what it was but it was something about Chloe taking her hand, it made me feel so calm and relaxed, knowing that she was with me. Even though it was dark I think I saw here blushing or maybe it's my imagination....or maybe not?

Max and Chloe and some of the others that survive the storm got off the chopper and were escorted to a big building in the distance. Not shore what it might have bin. They were put in a line to seek medical attention or help in any way. Latter they went through some physical therapy and they were given forms to fill out.
Max POV:
Thank god I'm out of there, not shore why but I hate doctors and hospitals and just anything to do with that. Still at least it wasn't too much I had to do.
Chloe's POV:
What the hell is all this for??
The first thing we do is go to some shot faced doc and then get forced to fill out some stupid papers... For what? What ever it not like it's hard.
Max noticed Chloe in the distance on a table filling out what looked to be the same papers she had to fill out.
Max POV:
Chloe!
I'm so glad to see you.... Haven trouble figuring that out??
Chloe POV:
I just don't see why they have to ask all these questions at least tell me where I can get some decent food I'm starving!!!!

It was clear to Max that Chloe had a point why did they need to ask all these questions?
Just the basics, name,age,height, sex, and....preferred sex???
What the hell is this there for?
"What is it??"
Chloe reached over and looked at her own paper. Yup same question different answers.
Max sat next to Chloe and leaned on her.
So what did you put?
"For what....oh that,why?"
Max looked away trying not to look interested. "Gay"
Max looked over at Chloe "your gay???"
Chloe looked a little in shock.
"Well ya, what didn't you know?"
" no not really I just assumed that...you know...."
Max could feel her face start to get red.
"What's the problem?"
" none,there isn't any problem it just caught me off guard is all"
"Well what about you...what did you put??"
Chloe yanked the papers out of Max's hands and read it over.
Max Confield
Age:18
Sex: female,hight:5.0 ect...
Here it is preferred sex.... Bi.
" you put bi??"
" ya, I wasn't really shore what to put so I just picked both"
Chloe gave Max back her papers.
" well play Caufield well plate"
Max and Chloe finally finished there papers and went to the an officer to turn them in.
Max and Chloe went back down to the table to sit and wait.
One the war to the table Max bumped in to a tall pail military officer who had s hand full of crumble up papers.

"Shoot.. Sorry sir I wasn't looking where I was going"
The nan looked at them both."oh it's fine don't worry about it just taking out the trash"
Chloe picked up one of the papers and un wrapped them.
Max POV:
I started to pick up some of the papers that fell on the floor and so did Chloe. she unwrapped one of them and was left speechless.
The officer looked over at Chloe. "Mamma are you OK??"
I couldn't help but look over and see that she was frozen in place.
" these are mine!!!"
She shouted out."wha..what are you doing with these?!?"
I could tell Chloe was angry it was a missing photo of Rachel Amber her old friend we found dead in the junk yard.
"Wait ...you knew Amber?!?!"
I cut in to brake the tension between them.
" she was sort of an old friend. what are you doing with these?
" before I join the military I was Ambers  parole officer. I knew her and I knew her family and her brother, when she went missing about six months ago, it hit me hard and it hit her brother even harder."
Chloe's POV:
Brother?
Rachel never mentioned anything about her brother or her family if anything she would always try to change the subject when you came to family."Rachel never said anything about a brother".
The military officer was surprised to hear that. "that's Miss Amber and her brother had a very close relationship".
Max cut in and good thing she did or I was going to loose it!!
"can you tell us a little more about Rachel or her family or something"
The officer sigh for moment and then look back at Chloe and Max.
". Right now isn't the time to talk about it . meet me in the mess hall in about 10 minutes you girls must be hungry my treat .will talk more there. And with that the officer walked away.

Max looked over at Chloe who was fighting tears in her eyes.
Rachel Ambers had a brother and maybe even a secret life from Chloe.
"Chloe are you ok??"
"Ya I'm fine....just....it feels strange bringing her back up like this, ...Max we need to find out more about Rachel"
"And we will...little by little.
