Chapter 2

Digging through the files in Professor Jacob Turner’s office—the man Mia and Jadon had discovered used to work there—the two of them uncovered more than they could’ve imagined about the fracking site. It didn’t take long for them to discover that the site had been active up until the day before Yellowstone erupted and what was more, it almost certainly caused the volcano to erupt.

Jadon had been the one to find the piece of paper; the results from the latest drill. As he had with all pages that looked interesting, he handed it over to Mia, the young man not understanding most of what was written down. It only took one quick glance from Mia for her to know it was what they had been searching for. She dropped the other papers in her hands, focusing all her attention on the one page in front of her.

“What is it?” Jadon asked, noticing the change in Mia’s disposition as she inspected the page. “What does it mean?”

“I can’t believe it,” Mia breathed, her eyes skimming over the words on the page for a second time to make sure she was certain she’d just read what she thought she had. “This is…” Mia trailed off. There weren’t any words that she could think of to do what she’d just read justice. Without a shadow of a doubt, the fracking site she stood on was responsible for the eruption. And one man—Professor Jacob Turner—could’ve warned everyone.

“What?” Jadon repeated, anxious to know what Mia had discovered. “What does it say, Mia?”

“They knew this was going to happen,” Mia whispered, her hands starting to shake as she gripped the page, her knuckles starting to blanch from the pressure. “They could’ve warned us. They could’ve saved millions of lives.”

“What do you mean? How did they know?”

“These are the results from their most recent drill,” Mia explained slowly, still finding the words difficult to believe even as she said them out loud. “The figures speak for themselves. They caused a tectonic plate shift. These numbers are only recorded when one thing is about to happen: an earthquake. They knew they had caused a quake and I’ll bet that everyone that worked here knew that would then affect Yellowstone. There’s no way anyone could understand these results and not see that coming. There’s no way…”

“You’re kidding me,” Jadon exhaled, finally coming to terms with what Mia was saying. “They can’t have—”

“They did,” Mia interrupted, the color that had drained from her cheeks slowly returning as she pushed herself to her feet. “They knew what they had done, and my bet is they dropped everything and ran. This man…Jacob Turner. He could’ve saved so many lives. He could’ve saved the world.”

“Is there any other explanation?” Jadon questioned, desperately trying to find any other reason why the site had been abandoned. He couldn’t deal with knowing that they could’ve all been warned about what was about to happen, nor that there was someone who made the decision not to try and save the millions of lives which had been lost.
