The road out of Fairgate was flat, flanked by forests with no high mountains nearby. Perhaps it was the soil, but on the seventh day of the downpour, massive landslides started to occur.
It was impossible to predict such sudden disasters. Even someone like Ronan Kendrick couldn't fight the forces of nature. Their raft had just shot out of Fairgate and was nearing the boundary when the adjacent forest suddenly gave way. The current instantly changed direction, rushing into the collapsed area. A powerful suction threatened to pull their raft in. Ronan made a split-second decision and leaped into the water. It came up to his shoulders as he got in front of the raft and, with all his might, dragged it out of the danger zone.
Evelyn Ford could only lie flat on the raft, blowing her whistle nonstop to warn the group behind them. She wasn't tall enough to get in the water, so she had to rely on Ronan Kendrick to get her out of the treacherous area.
