Chapter 10

Location: Parkland Hospital

Character: John

Day: November 22, 2013

Time: 6:10 am

John struggled against the chains.

The pain in right leg was stunning. He tried to move but the pain was still searing. "Help," he croaked softly, but there was no reply.

The darkness was cool and welcoming, which was shocking. He still remembered drowning in the sea, the pain in his forehead. Carolyn screaming. Her aunt screaming and how he had painfully clung on to the scraps of the plane. And landing on the island where they had been through hell trying to survive.

During the hellish years, John and Carolyn had lived on the island. They had met some natives that had treated them in peace. And when Carolyn had gotten pregnant the natives had kept them safe. The storm had ended and John had decided to call Sarah, one of the natives that had went to live in the United States. She was a spy mostly. She had monitored what the White House was doing.

That was until Sarah had spluttered the news of the president's return. She had called him and he'd almost choked on the native food that the leader had given him.

There was a loud shriek from outside. John looked up weakly and warily. Another loud scream exploded from the shadows. Several guns went off and John wrinkled his nose.

A young woman burst into the room. She had dark hair and dark eyes. John's eyes stared at her. He asked, "Who are you?"

"My name's Tatiana," she informed him. "I'm here to rescue you."

John nodded. "But the-"

She ripped the chains off him. "Shut up," she snapped. "Shut up. And run before they catch you!" She held up her hand and pointed toward the enterance. "There's a door at the left. You'll have to jump." Her eyes were wide but determined.

John stumbled to his feet. There was a pain in his chest. He could tell breathing hurt, because he was breathing hard. He sprinted toward the exit and shoved the door open. The girl was behind him. "Jump!" She screamed.

He thought quickly that this would be a quick death but Tataina snarled, "There's a net at the bottom. Don't think, Uncle John, just jump."

He nodded but then froze. Did she just call me Unlce? He didn't have time to think because Tatiana shoved him hard and he fell.

The wind burned his face as he fell, shouting and screaming. He landed on a rough net and a pair of hands wrapped around him, tossing him around. He turned to stare at an older woman. She had dark green eyes and blonde thick hair. Another scream followed by a thump and Tatiana crashed to the net. She was breathing with sweat dripping down her face. She grinned at the woman.

"Hi, Mom," she said, "I got him."

John could only turn around and gape at the woman who was now revealed as Caroline Kennedy.
