The gale arrived on its heels, roaring and whistling, sweeping clouds across the sky.
The whole world darkened in an instant.
"It's going to rain!"
Lude Johnsons stepped on the gas pedal, the car speeding toward roads scarce with pedestrians taking shelter, just about to ask Xander Harl where to go next, when his phone suddenly rang.
He pressed the answer button.
Ruth Upperton's concerned voice came through, "Hey, Fish, where are you?"
"I'm driving on the main road outside."
"It's getting dark, the weather forecast says there will be a heavy rainstorm, you better come back soon."
"I still haven't found my sister-in-law."
"What are you looking for her for?"
"My brother is going to the frontline to lead troops tomorrow. If I don't find her, they'll be separated!"
"Silly kid, they're both at home, you better come back soon."
"Really?"
"You'll see when you come back... Hurry up, we're waiting to have a nice dinner with you..."
"Then I'll bring Brother Xander."
