Meteorologist, John McCarthy stared at the pictures of the storm, his daughter, Macie, was somewhere in the middle of it, but they wouldn't release him from work during storms. He knew she knew what to do, lock up the barn go to the strom cellar, stay until its quiet out. She had to be okay he told himself, he was his daughter. He only wrried about her and not her older brothers because they were in many storms that went over Oklhoma, that they were in but not Macie. This was the first tornado to pass over BA in 2 years, and now it was turning into an EF 4.

"McCarthy you're on in 10" A produer came into the break room.

He abandoned his cofee on the desk and walked to his reporting station. He was told to display, them tracking the storm, on the highway, at the moment and where it could be heading. He watched Samantha Rzeznik finish her forcast about some typhoon near Japan and how it could impact Alaska on Wednesday, and give him a small smile. Rzeznik was 23 and very shy off camera, John didn't know how she pulled it off or how she didn't feel shy when around a million people were watchig her. He had asked her once and gotten the reply ," those people aren't watching to see me, they are watching to see if they're safe from nature, im confident when Im saving people's lives not when people are trying to save me." He thought about that comment a lot, and thought now how he could walk out those doors and save his baby girl, except she wsn't his baby anymore, she was a 17 year old teenager, now getting tatoo's and is off trying to find a good colledge, he couldn't be her hero anymore, someone else would have to then.

SAVE HIS DAUGHTER. Samantha zipped into the bathroom once out of sight. John had a daughter was that what it was telling her? She stared in the mirror it had too be. She didn't know anyone else who needed saving ( besides the world) She told herself that somewhere out there. There were people like her with different missions but she wasn't starting to believe it. She had to on her own. she didn't know who she was inside anymore. She liked John a lot but she knew he wasn't one of them. Especially as she stared at the mirror as it cracked into SAVE HIS DAUGHTER. She had to make them know who they were.
