Chapter 30 Leaving Home

Logan stepped to the left, his foot falling through one of the boards. He groaned, Olivia screamed and Serena gasped. “I’m okay,” Logan called out. He got back on steady footing and retrieved Olivia from Serena’s arms. “I’ll follow you,” Serena said. Logan nodded, carefully bringing Olivia out of the bathroom. Oliver was seated on the floor, rocking back and forth, but holding the flashlight out just as Logan had asked. “Good job, buddy,” Logan said, setting Olivia down on the floor beside her brother. “Let me go help your mother.” The sky was clearing. It was still early enough that the sun was up, bringing new light on the destruction of the house. Logan headed back to the bathroom. He held a hand out for Serena. She took it, and he carefully led her out of the dangerous room. He brought her to where the kids were.
