happen.
    “ Telecommunications seem to
be out. We have no way of contacting anyone. Linus, do you have any
idea where your family might be?”
    Linus shook his head. “I have no idea. I thought for sure
that they would be here. ”
    He nry turned to Linus,
who was trying to get a grip on one of the desks. “Can you hack
into the network and get things going?”
    Linus was a skilled hacker; he had been breaking into
networks since they were kids. It was something he usually kept
under wraps since Henry’s father worked for the government. He
could make his own mobile network in his home by powering up by using various
connections.
    “ Yeah , of course, I
can. It will be a piece of cake. I just need to get stabilized
here.”
    Carly went to Linus and helped hold him into position while
he logged into the computer and then the mainframe of the laptop on
the desk. Henry wondered if he should let Linus hack into the
private files his father had at NASA . Maybe then he would find out what his father had been up
to and whether it had anything to do with what was going on in the
world. He decided against it for now. He could always fall back on
it at a later time, but he didn’t want to violate his father’s
trust without having a good reason. He had a feeling that all the
secrets would be revealed now that the world was in such crisis.
The government would be digging into everything trying to scramble
around and figure out what was going on and how to fix it as
quickly as possible. They would want to minimize any damage,
especially if it reflected badly on them in any way. Henry hoped
his father had done nothing wrong because he would have a lot of
people to answer to about some very serious matters. He would be
ruined not only as a scientist at NASA but as a human being in the
United States. People would hate him if he had caused Earth to
fail.
    Henry shook his head ,
refusing to let those thoughts get the best of him. They had a
problem in front of them, and they needed to devote their attention
to it. If Linus could get the network going, they might be able to
communicate with the outside world. He moved alongside Linus and
held on to the desk to steady himself. He watched as Linus worked
his magic, his fingers moving seamlessly over the
keyboard.
    Carly , on the other
hand, was lost in her own world. She was still holding on to Linus
to ensure he didn’t float away, but she wasn’t focused on what
Henry and Linus were doing. She was looking up at David, who
appeared to be resting against the ceiling. He had been so good the
whole time, not crying or freaking out, and she was starting to
worry that he might be in shock. The poor thing. He must be so upset to not be with his
family and instead be stuck with a bunch of strangers. He stared silently down at her, and
she hoped that she would be able to keep him safe so that she could
return him to his parents safely. That was what she wanted most in
that moment. A small smile formed on his face, and she almost
laughed. She hoped that everything was going to be OK for all of
them all over the world. What was happening right then was
terrifying, and she had no idea if they would even live on to the
next day, but she was damn well going to try.
    Looking at that boy, little David, she couldn’t help but
think of her own little girl. Her heart ached at the thought of
little Rose. Was she confused and tearful, unsure of whether she
would ever see her mother again? The thought just pierced Carly’s
heart. She wished in that moment that she had a partner. Someone
that she could count on in a crisis, a person who she knew would fight just as hard to find
Rose even if she couldn’t. But Carly was all that Rose had if
anything had happened to Annette. She couldn’t bear to think about
it, but she needed to be realistic. The world was falling apart,
and she had no idea how her mother had handled it. People were
dying all over the world, and she had to accept the possibility
that her
