Chapter 20 – Waiting Rooms

Richardson, Juan Carlos, and Brendan sprinted up the stairs to the roof, bolting out the door.

“Oh, thank God,” Lita said, rushing to Richardson. “We were so worried, especially when that big explosion went off.”

“Yeah, I could see it in the air, and I was sitting down here,” Madison said, Juan Carlos getting down next to her. He kissed her tenderly.

Hannah held Brendan tight, sobbing. “It’s okay, honey,” Brendan said. “We’re safe.”

“Until next time,” she said. “Oh, hell, I don’t even care now. I just want you to hold me.”

Chuck and Carol came back on the roof.

“Good, thought I heard you guys,” Chuck said. “Where’s the boat?”

“Tied up by that third-floor window,” Juan Carlos said.

“You guys were amazing,” Carol said. “Same with the guys on the other side.”

Richardson’s phone rang. He looked at it. “Jefferson.”

“Answer it,” Lita said.

Richardson nodded and put the phone to his ear. “Hey, boss.”

“Congratulations,” he said. “Heard about what you did. San Antonio is out of danger.”

“Good, the Army National Guard must have showed up for once,” Richardson said.

Jefferson chuckled. “Yep, they did.”

“What are we doing now?” Richardson asked.

“We’re sending a trailer and tow vehicle there, with a crew to help you get your boat out of the water. Same with the other two boats.”

“What then?”

“You guys will go back to R and R, or maybe I should say honeymoon.”

“That would be nice,” Richardson said. “Are we trailering the boat ourselves?”

“Probably the best bet, assuming your car is under water.”

“It is,” Richardson said. “There’s six of us, remember.”

“I know,” Jefferson said. “We’ll be sending a crew cab dually, but that will be a little tight. I’ll try to arrange another vehicle.”

“Great,” Richardson said. “How soon, and where are we going?”

“In the morning,” he said. “You guys have someplace to stay?”

Richardson laughed. “We’re on the roof of a building right now. It’s not a hotel.”

“Not the greatest,” Jefferson said. “Try to get some sleep however you can. We’re gonna suggest you head on to Houston. We’ll have a place where you can put the boat. You’ll have a few days to find apartments.”

“I hope Houston will be less exciting than San Antonio has been.”

Jefferson laughed. “Me too. I’ll call you when the trailers and vehicles have arrived. Take care of yourselves.”

“Will do,” Richardson said. He set his phone down.

“Well?” Lita asked.

“They’re sending us a trailer and tow vehicle in the morning,” Richardson said. “Until then, we wait.”

“Where we going, dude?” Juan Carlos asked.

“Houston,” Richardson said. “Don’t know much beyond that, other than we’ll have a few days to get set up there.”

“We have to sleep on the roof, don’t we?” Madison asked.

“We can go down to another floor that’s cleaner and warmer,” Brendan said. “Maybe the elevator is working.”

“It’s not,” Chuck said. “Water got to it down in the basement. Sorry.”

“Where’s the best place to sleep?” Hannah asked.

“Probably any floor other than the third,” Chuck said, “since you guys busted the window down there.”

“All those damn flights of stairs,” Madison said, eyes weary.

“I can get you guys some sleeping bags,” Chuck said.
