After a deafening "CRASH!", the apartment building collapsed. Evelyn Ford was holding the boy, and Ronan Kendrick was holding her. No matter how you looked at it, the three of them were in an incredibly awkward position.
The collapsing building threw up a massive cloud of dust. Evelyn couldn't stop coughing. Grit filled her eyes, making them dry and painfully irritated.
Ronan was incredibly fast, carrying them a hundred meters away from the disaster. Once he set Evelyn down, she put the boy down as well.
The corroded building had collapsed, and dozens of people were still inside.
Evelyn heard faint cries for help. Residents from the neighboring buildings came out, and everyone started trying to rescue people.
Evelyn glanced at Cherie. The boy was terrified, staring blankly at the collapsed building, his small, bony hands trembling uncontrollably.
Evelyn took his hand, silently comforting him.
