CHAPTER 15

Steven

I thought this emergency action plan was going to give me and Aiza some alone time to talk, but it did the total opposite. My phone hadn’t stopped ringing for the last hour. I was glad I could help, but Reesa had local businesses reaching out to me for guidance. I gave them the best advice I could, board up windows, move everything on the ground floor up if possible, and be prepared to move to higher ground if the tide came in. I could’ve put the information on a recorded line instead of repeating it over and over.

“I don’t know about you, but I need coffee,” I said to Aiza.

“Okay. I’ll go and get us some,” she stated.

“I wasn’t trying to send you. I am very capable of getting it myself. I was asking if you’d like to join me. Maybe grab a bite to eat too. If you hadn’t noticed, we never ate lunch,” I reminded her.

“And I didn’t have breakfast. Reesa called and asked me to come to work early to help prepare for the meeting that never took place,” she sighed. “I can’t believe that we are doing all this and still have no idea if it is going to hit Tabiq.”

“We go through the same thing all the time in Florida and along the east coast. But it is always better to play on the safe side. It’s unfortunate when lives are lost because you don’t prepare. I’ve seen it happen too many times.” Each year it seems to get worse. People are tired of preparing and nothing happens, and then they choose to do nothing. That’s when the storm hits and hits hard. “You haven’t answered my question. Do you want to take a break and eat?”

“I think I should, or I might just pass out from starvation,” she patted her stomach. “But shouldn’t we talk to Reesa first?”

“I don’t work for her,” I replied.

Aiza crossed her arms. “You’re forgetting that I do.”

Yes I have.

“True. Let me make the call,” I said.

“Why?”

“Because she really wants me to sign that contract. She’ll probably give me just about anything I want right now,” I grinned.

Aiza laughed. “You must know a different Reesa O’Connor than I do because she is not a pushover.”

And neither are you.

“Then I guess you can call,” I said.

“Call who?” Reesa said as she entered the dining room that we were working in.

Aiza said, “We were thinking of taking a dinner break and just about to call you.”

“I think it’s a great idea. It’s getting late and we have a lot to do tomorrow as well. Brice offered us all rooms here tonight. I said yes,” she said.

“You’re all staying at the resort?” I questioned.

Reesa said, “Not all, but many of us. It just makes it easier to gather quickly if we need to for any developments. By the way, have you seen the latest weather reports?” I shook my head. “The storm has turned and is now heading in our direction.”

“You mean my grandmother was right?” Aiza asked, looking shocked.
