“Mr. Shiloh, we’ve found one of them...” A voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie in Mr. Shiloh’s hand, the sound of heavyrain clearly audible in the background.

But the signal was weak, and as they listened to the report from the walkie-talkie, they could hear Sam’s hoarse voice in thebackground. “We're at the top... mountain... the signal tower...”

“Get to the signal tower now!” Mr. Shiloh shouted.

The signal must have gotten worse because they only heard static in response. Then, there came an urgent beeping from thecomputer.

“President Jones, the signal tower at the top of the mountain...” The staff member took off his earphones and fearfully turnedaround. Gabriel looked at him almost sinisterly and the staff started to stutter. “The tower... it collapsed...”

Gabriel stopped breathing for a moment before he whipped around, grabbed a raincoat, and rushed into the rain. Before anyonecould react, he had disappeared into the downpour.

Everyone remained frozen. They were already shocked by the news of the fallen tower. Then, Gabriel's swift disappearing actionadded another wave of shock.

The mountaintop was at high risk of a landslide or mudslide at any time. If President Jones went up the mountain to look forthem, he would only add to the victim count if anything were to happen to them.

“What should we do now?” The staff member who was monitoring the computer looked at Mr. Shiloh.They had lost their best bet at monitoring the situation, let alone contacting the people on the mountain.

Gabriel knew that and probably thought that it was either they waited here like sitting ducks or went up the mountain to look forthe others.

Mr. Shiloh put on his raincoat and was about to go up the mountain to look for Gabriel when the staff monitoring the computerstopped him. “Mr. Shiloh, we need you here to take charge of the situation. I'll go look for President Jones.”

Mr. Shiloh thought for a moment and passed the raincoat to his staff. “You must ensure President Jones’s safety.”

The staff member monitoring the computer nodded. He put on the raincoat and went into the rain, running quickly up themountain.

The heavy rain washed over rocky cliffs as tree branches rustled in the strong wind, breaking some of the more fragile ones.

The dark sky above looked as if it would collapse at any moment. The rain was so heavy that Gabriel could not open his eyes.He tripped on the muddy mountain path several times but continued walking up the mountain.

The moment he heard that the signal tower had collapsed, he felt as if instinct had taken over and he was no longer in control ofhis body.

He wouldn’t even frown when a project worth billions of dollars failed, but at this moment, he was really terrified.

She was at the signal tower, and if the signal tower collapsed... he didn’t even want to entertain thoughts of what entailed.Gabriel just kept walking up the mountain. He slipped again on the mud. When he fell, his hands and knees grazed the ground.Thunder kept rumbling above his head. He knew he had a few cuts on his hands from the fall. But he felt nothing as he got upand walked quickly in the direction of the signal tower.

The rage of the storm felt like God’s intention to cleanse the world — many trees were uprooted and nature looked like a mess.The thunder in his ears kept ringing like a grinding saw, tearing at Gabriel’s heart.

‘Serene, wait for me. You must wait for me.”

He kept screaming for her in his head, afraid that by the time he found her, he would see a cold corpse.

It was raining so heavily that danger could appear at any time. She was pregnant, so why did Sam leave her alone?

If anything happened to her, he would not let Sam, Ms. Lewis, and the others go-
