Tanya surveyed her surroundings, realizing that they had left the city far behind—it was enveloped in a cloud of vapour in the distance. She shivered as she thought of the dangers and secrets it kept. What else was hidden in there?
She knew they didn’t have much time to get away before the next earthquake was due. Ten minutes.
She pointed it out to Patrick, who limped to the door as quick as possible; he could hardly step on the swollen ankle. He had to move around with Mark’s aid. Both men struggled to keep their balance in the unstable craft as waves broke the surface.
They stumbled quickly from the craft and two men were there to help them load the craft back on the trailer. With a quick glance Tanya observed the outside of the vessel and noticed the blood splatters and deep scratches on the exterior. She was profoundly grateful that the body held them safe inside its steel cocoon.
