Chapter 9

Scott turned around to see Gordon trying to pull his shoe lasses out of the van door. Scott cursed himself. He was the one that shut the door. Scott began to run down the slop and began to slip and fall. He rolled scrapping his elbows and chin. Blood flowed freely from his busted up chin. He opened the door and pickup Gordon and began to run with him under one arm. He had to use his hands and crawl up the slope again. The tornado was pushing him toward his dad. His dad held out his hand and grabbed Scott. The tornado just started to pull and Gordon started to fly like a kite in Scott's hands.

"Don't let go son." Jeff yelled and grabbed Gordon's other hand. Kyrano held the younger boys down. Brains let go of Tin Tin and ran over to help with Gordon. He grabbed the hood on the back of Gordon's shirt. All three of them pulled him in. Gordon was sobbing so hard his face was turning red. Jeff pulled his son into a hug and fought the force of the wind to get to his other boys. Scott and Brains held onto one another.

Scott looked at Brains as he finally got to his father.

"Thanks."

"I-I didn't want to loose someone else." Brains said Scott smiled and Jeff pulled them both into the huddle. It was more of a hug to all of them. Kyrano, and Scott held onto the kids tell the sound was gone. A sound the boys will always remember. Virgil looked at John his eyes were clenched together still.

"Hey its ok. It's gone."

"So there can always be another one." The sun began to come up around them. The sky was a violet purple. John smiled and turned to Gordon, and Alan.

"Mom says everything is okay now." Jeff looked at the sky and smiled.

"Well I'll be damned." There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Jeff took all the kids into a small patch of grass and checked them over to see if they were hurt. Scott seemed to be the only one physically hurt. Gordon still looked a little shaken. He sat in Johns lap still crying. John stroked his reddish hair. Tin Tin and Alan seemed to take to each other very well. Almost a puppy love. Virgil sat with Brains. Jeff walked over to Brains, and kneeled down.

"I didn't get a chance to thank you earlier."

"I'd do it a-again sir. I-I lost my parents tonight. I don't want to loose a brother." Brains said tears coming down his cheeks. Jeff dragged him into a deep hug. Most of the boys started to cry.

"Mr. Kyrano does that mean Brains will be living with us now." Alan asked making his face look wrinkly. Signaling he didn't like Brains at all.

"I believe so Mr. Alan."

It took several hours for the rescue agents to come to there aid. Jeff kept on thinking if the rescuers would be just a little faster.He then had an idea that would take him almost the rest of his life to acquire. Scott received two stitches to the chin and seven in his arm. Jeff had rented a car to take them the rest of the way to California. Which took them two days. Finally they all pulled up in the back yard of Jiffs mothers house. Grandma Tracy came running out of the house and hugged everyone in turn. She goggled at Scott, and Alan who wore bloody cloths.

"Come one boys inside and get a change of cloths. Yes young lady I have some in here your size." Grandma said Kyrano liked this woman. She smelled of fresh baking's. Everyone pilled into the Tracy house leaving Brains outside. Brains looked up to the sky still clear.

"Its over.it's all over." He whispered

"Hey Brains she meant you too." Virgil yelled out the door.
