My mind was swimming with thoughts. What if Sun was already dead? What if I died too? What would Rain do if she was suddenly an orphan? My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when I found myself being pushed out of the car. I hadn't expected Mike to be so cold. After a few moments of arguing with him, I knew he was right. If I didn't go in there I would wish I was dead later if anything happened to my wife or those kids.

I quietly made my way to the door and went inside. Ray had given me a tracking devise he had so I could find the others. It wasn't very difficult, all I had to do was follow the screams.

I walked into what appeared to be a brawl between Jared and a few others. Rachel was no where in sight, probably a wise move on her part.

Then I saw her, my beloved, laying on the ground barely conscious. I rushed over to her and lifted her head. "What have they done to you?"

She just smiled, glad to see me. "Don't worry about me, my time is almost up. They can't do anything to me, I have given up my powers."

"What are you talking about? You'll be fine, come on lets get out of here."

"You have to save the children."

She tried to fight me as I picked her up, but she was too weak. I looked around frantically for William and Rachel. They were standing in front of me but the others had fled with Jared. I had to think quickly before they came back for the rest of us. Seeing how exhausted Rachel was, I decided I would borrow her power and shadow step back outside. In an instant we were back in Mike's car. "Go now!" I yelled "Hit the lights Ray."

Everything was suddenly bright again. We were glad Jared had equipped us with special goggles that doubled as night vision and super sun glasses so that the change didn't effect us.

"We're just going to leave Jared?" Rachel cried as she looked out the back window at the building that was rapidly getting smaller in the distance.

"We have no choice." I said sadly. "Don't worry, we'll arrange another rescue party. But this time we can't wait so long."
