CHAPTER 90

CHAPTER 90
Leo's POV

But I knew he wasn’t innocent. He was the one who brought this on us. I turned my head away, ignoring him.

“So, what should we do now?” I asked. “If everything happening is true, it means a tsunami is coming. What if the whole town gets drowned? We need to find a safe place before that.”

We started brainstorming, unprepared for a situation like this. We didn’t even know where to start.

Koba took out his mobile and looked at me. “There’s no signal here. We can’t call anyone,” he said.

I already knew that. Sol had been frustrated earlier because she couldn’t reach the police or 911. We were stuck in this town, and who knew if help would even come?

This town is under Enzo’s Moon Pack, and although he’s the alpha, I wasn’t sure if he would intervene. Since Koba is his brother, there was some hope that Enzo might do something.

But then again, I hadn’t seen them get along very well, and he was probably busy with his wife. I forced myself to stop thinking about Enzo.

We realized that all the customers who had been drinking at the bar had already left in a panic, wanting to get out of town immediately. They were right, we needed to leave too.

“Guys, let’s grab our important belongings and get out of here,” I urged. “We have a car. At least we can reach the jungle before the seawater hits the town. We have to try to save ourselves instead of just sitting here.”

As I speak, I feel water touching my toes. I look down and see it seeping in from under the door. I rush to open it, the water isn’t very deep yet, but it’s already reached the roads and is rippling everywhere.

I turn back to the group. “Guys, in the next ten minutes, meet at the parking area. Go grab all your important belongings right now!” Everyone hears me, staff and the remaining customers alike, and we all head toward our five cars.

I run to my room and throw my clothes, mobile, charger, documents, cash card, and some cash into a bag.

I shoulder the bag and race to the parking area, but no one has arrived yet. I stand there alone as the water slowly, slowly begins to fill the lot.

Then I hear footsteps behind me and turn to see Koba. He’s holding a suitcase and his car keys.

“I have a car,” he says. “Let’s put our bags in the trunk first and wait for the others.” I nod, and we load our things before climbing inside, me in the passenger seat, to wait.

Finally, Sol and Andrew arrive with everyone else. I open the window and shout, “Let’s leave! The water is reaching here! Did you tell everyone to leave?”

Sol confirms she saw everyone leaving. She had packed her bags and gone back to check the staff room, finding it empty.

“They must be out of the jungle by now,” she says. Andrew had checked the whole bar and our villa. “No one was there, so we need to leave now,” Sol adds as she and Andrew get into the car. Other customers get into their own cars and depart.

As we start driving, a twinge of fear hits me. I notice Andrew has brought bags of food. “Andrew, is that food?” I ask.

“Yes,” he replies. “I brought it in case we don’t get the chance to find food later. These two bags were heavy, but Sol helped me.” I’m so glad he had the foresight to do that.

“That was a good idea,” Koba agrees as he pulls out of the parking area.

The car moves onto the road. It’s still raining heavily, and the view ahead is blurry. Even with the wipers going, the rain doesn’t seem to stop.

I open the window slightly, but water splashes my face, and I quickly close it. I wipe the window and see the floodwater picking up speed.

When we pass the sea, I see the waves. They look like a tsunami. A massive wave looms further out, and I’m certain that if it hits, the whole town will be buried.

“Koba and Leo, I don’t think we can leave town right now,” Sol says. “Even if we reach the jungle, the waves are going to hit it, and we’ll be stuck… or worse. Should we head to the mountain? There’s a road we can take the car up high and be safe.”

Sol’s words make sense, even though I’ve never been to the mountain in the three years I’ve lived here.

I’ve always stayed between the sea and the inn because I’m not a fan of trekking or the jungle. But to save ourselves, I nod,and Koba and Andrew agree. Sol begins to guide us.

Despite the poor visibility, Koba drives skillfully. Eventually, we reach a lane that leads up the mountain.

Koba starts driving up, but the car begins to slide, the soil is so wet and sticky from the continuous rain.

My heart skips a beat. I think I’m about to die. I grip my seat as Koba hits the gas, and this time… we succeed.

Water is rushing down the mountain, splashing against our car with enough force to make it shake. After about an hour, we finally reach the top and park.

We step out with an umbrella, but the water isn’t pooling here,it’s all sliding down the slopes. The dense, massive trees are blocking much of the rain, so we don’t even need the umbrella.

I put the umbrella back in the car and walk to the edge to look down. I’m shocked. The massive wave has already reached the town, and half of it is buried under the water.

We’re not superheroes; we can’t save everyone. We’re just normal humans trying to survive.

“Oh my God… I hope no one is in the town right now,” Andrew says, his voice filled with worry. I hope the same, I don’t want anyone to die in this destruction.
