Sean POV

All of us are out of the building just as it collapses. I look around making sure everyone is okay but something is wrong. I count the pairs and realise that Kyle and Max aren't here. I quickly turn around and run back to the debris of the house and start to pull chunks off the piles frantically. "What wrong Sean?" Benjamin asks as he walks up to me, "M.X and Kyle are stuck in there!" I yell, catching the attention of everyone else. "What?!" Benjamin replies and starts helping me pull the debris away."

"What's wrong?" A voice speaks up through the earpiece, "Xavier! Can you see M.X or Kyle?" There is silence for a bit before a nervous voice rings through. "No, I can't. I'll keep looking." A broken and cracking voice comes through the earpiece, "g-guys..? C-Can you hear m-me?" "Kyle!" I yell, "are you okay?! Where are you?!" "Max and I are s-stuck, there is a huge piece of the building on us." He whimpers, "p-please get us o-out, it hurts." "We will get you guys out Kyle don't you worry." There is no reply and we start to get worried.

"We need to work fast, we don't know how hurt they are but we also need to be careful any wrong move could hurt them even more." Levi orders, "start at where the door used to be because they could have been close to getting out before it collapsed." We all nod and get to work, Xavier, Lucas, Steve and Caleb stay on the roofs just in case they spot them.

We all start at the edge of the rubble and work our way in, "Kyle! M.X! Where are you?!" We call out hoping to get a reply. "Guys!" Caleb's voice rings out through the earpiece. "I see a boot!" "Caleb that's amazing! Where?!" "Near where Travis is standing, around that area. I wish I could be more specific but it's too hard when there is so much stuff around." "That's okay, thanks Caleb."

"You heard Caleb, start moving the debris around the area near Travis," Kris instructs. Everyone gets to work, "I see someone's boot!" Connor calls out, we move even quicker. "Kyle! M.X! Can you hear us?!" Travis calls out, but he gets no response. "We need to work quickly and carefully, let's start from the boots we can see and work up. It's safer." I say sternly, we all work together to move the pieces away from the body.

"I see another pair!" Kris exclaims, we work faster and faster trying to get them out as fast as possible but also being careful at the same time. Soon we uncover both of them, the last piece of the building that had fallen on them required all of us to lift it together. In Max's hand was a book. Levi reaches down and flicked through, "it's the last book...even when the building is collapsing he manages to find the last book and keep hold of it."
