Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 264: Searching for him

264 Searching for him

Mike's heart just stopped. His mind just couldn't register what he saw. The next moment all that he could do was to scream out loud. He ran into the waters but Simon held him tight in the fear that he might also slip because of his agitated and disturbed mind.

The Spock who was there inside the water turned for a second and then somehow his leg also slipped and he also met the same fate as Raymond.

The two other Spocks who stood there immediately relayed to the main center about the accident and asked for urgent help.

Unable to understand what just happened, Mike slumped on the ground. Knowing the depth of the waterfall, he clearly knew what the fate of Raymond would be, but he wasn't ready to accept it. He was unable to hear or feel anything now as all that he could sense was emptiness.

Simon was still holding Mike to support him, but then next he heard the sound of two choppers flying out and that immediately kind of pulled him out of the daze.

"It's not time to panic Mike. Let's go downstream along with the search party. We need to help him out when they take him out of water".

They both knew the reality, but they just couldn't lose hope.

Leaving everything aside they ran along with the Spocks downstream but that took them a good twenty minutes to reach. As every minute passed, the hope inside Mike was dying down.

The choppers had already left by the time they reached down as they couldn't find anything.

Without bothering about his clothes, MIke jumped into the water to search for him along with the other Spocks and search party, but there was still no sign of him or the other Spock, who also fell in the water.

All dejected he came out of the water and slumped next to Simon, who immediately covered him with a dry towel.

He looked at Simon and then said,

"My sister will die if she knows about it".

Simon gave him a pat and said,

"Nothing can happen to Raymond. He is God's own child".

"Then why would God throw his own Son into the waters and try to kill him?"

Simon had no answer for that.

It was starting to get dark and so the search party decided to retire as the forest gets dangerous at night. The Spocks took both Mike and Simon back to the confluence point. Everyone had heard the news and they were all perplexed to the core about it.

Richard sat there with his head in his hand, unable to decide how he will break the news to his friend. But by this time the Spocks had already relayed about it to the main center.

"Com' on, show us your moves Akira", Kirk said and pulled Akira on the dance floor.

She hesitated at first but then joined her team who were celebrating the victory at a local pub. But then suddenly Bryan screamed at the top of his lung and asked the DJ to shut off the music.

He was staring the television screen inside the pub which was relaying about the accident that had happened in GCG finale in the Amazons.

Akira stared at the screen for a while. Her face was devoid of any emotions. She didn't panic and neither did she cry. She walked up to the desk and took out the car keys from her bag and started her car.

She had a long drive to Staten Island.

After all, someone had to be answerable to her questions.
