Chapter 49- I'm good

" Alright," Dad said as he started walking towards us again. " Let's continue the tour."

Maria leads the way, trying not to spill the beans just yet.

" Earl?" She asked one of her guys before she started waling up the few stairs that were in front of her. " Why are you here? I thought you were supposed to head back this morning?"

" Still waiting on Houser and the rest of the boys to reave me." Earl told Maria.

" We'll be fine... Just go home to your family."

" It's just a few more hours. I'll tough through it."

" Alright. Take it easy."

Right as we entered a building, Maria got called by radio to come down to the control room and watch Steve start the turbine up.

" I'll do it," Dad volunteered. " Take the girls to get something to eat."

" I'll go with him," Uncle Joel told us. " Ellie, stay close to them."

" Joel..." Ellie started.

" Come on, Ellie." Maria said after she tapped her arm. " Let's give the boys some space."

" I'm sending Tommy over," Maria said into the radio. " Stand by."

( Joel's P.O.V.)

" This will be the sixth time they have tried to get that turbine going again," Tommy told me as we headed to the control room. " We have been here for just a week, but it feels like forever."

Tommy walked over to a bunk, and pulled out a picture and gave it to me.

" I just thought you should have that," Tommy told me. " I went back to Texas last year, and found it."

" I'm good," I told him, as I handed the picture of Sara and me back to him.

" You sure..."

" I said I'm good." I told him.

" I'll keep it for you." He said as he put it back in the duffle bag, and we continued.
