Chapter Thirty-Two
Levi
I hear the floorboard groaning in protest beneath my weight. We’ve reached the point where it’s unsafe to be in here; it could go at any time. Turning off the nozzle in my hand, I motion for my team to stop.
“Pull out, ground crew. That building isn’t stable anymore,” Captain chirps in my earpiece.
“10-4, Cap,” Tuck says into his mic behind me.
Bill and Jonah are already moving towards the front, pulling on the hose, when the ground beneath our feet quakes. I glance up at Tuck and can see the realization in his eyes. We take off at a dead sprint. The ground underneath us opens up and the floor gives way, a small explosion ringing in my ear as I feel myself falling.
Just before the hole swallows me up, my mind drifts to Abby. Sweet, amazingly beautiful Abby. Her hair, her eyes, her smile. The one thing I should have said before I came running into the building.
The one thing I may never get to tell her.
Regret fills my body as the darkness surrounds me.
Eventually, black consumes me.
