Camila gasped and sat up looking horrified.

Shawn ran over and knelt beside her. "Hey, you are okay. "

She turned to him. "Isa."

He could not hide the worried look on his face.

"Where is my baby?" Camila asked in panic.

"I will find her Camila. I promise."

Camila stood up and glanced around for her bag. "Find her?! Where did she go?!"

"The only thing I know so far is that Austin is with her." Shawn said then glanced at Raphael and he nodded.

"I will take you to her okay?" Raffie said.

Camila nodded as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"There isn't a lot of time." Raphael said into Shawn's ear.

"Hurry, please!" Camila cried out.

In the car, Shawn held Camila close as Raphael raced to get to the spot.

"Can you hurry?!" Camila cried out from the backseat.

Shawn began to rub her arm in comfort. "She is going to be okay."

Tears began streaming down her face. "Oh my god, Shawn."

"Can't you do something?" He shouted at Raffie.

"I am driving as fast as I can."

"No. You know what I mean."

Camilla looked at him curiously.

"That is out of my jurisdiction, kid."

"What about Michael?"

"Jurisdiction?" Camila asked.

Raphael glared at Shawn through the rear view mirror as if to warn him about giving Camila too much information.

"Over there!" Camila shouted as she saw Austin running towards the river bridge with Isa's hand in his.

"Stop the car!" Camila screamed.

Austin heard her scream and glanced over his shoulder. "Come on baby girl."

"Daddy, is that Mommy?"

He picked her up and continued to run across the bridge.

Shawn and Camila ran towards the bridge.

Some of the supporting floorboards snapped and fell into the fast moving river.

"No!!!!" Camila screamed then accidentally rolled her ankle and fell down hard.

Shawn quickly knelt beside her to help.

"No, Shawn. Go get her!"

"But..."

""Shawn!!!"

"I will take care of her." Raphie assured him.

Shawn nodded. As he stood up to run over, Isa screamed as both her and Austin fell through a few of the busted wooden pieces.

Shawn picked up the pace and made it onto the bridge. He too was struggling across.
