He
appeared to be sleeping against the ceiling. It was as if he were a
vampire taking a leave from the world below. He was curled up in a
ball as if he were on the floor. His eyes were closed, and she
could see his little chest moving up and down. She felt terribly
sorry for the child. What a crazy thing for any child to have to
experience. He just looked so sad and lonely up there. Carly
considered pulling him down to be with them, but maybe it was
better that he stayed out of the way. If he was sleeping, that
couldn’t hurt him, either. She wasn’t sure where their little
adventure was going to lead them, and if any of them could get some
rest, it only could benefit them. It appeared as if they had a long
road ahead of them, and she wasn’t certain how it was all going to
go down. She only could hope that they would all still be alive and
together when it was all done. She shook the thoughts out of her
head and focused on the screen once again.
    “ So what are we looking at here , boys?”
    Linus looked up at Carly. “Well , I have hacked my way into the mainframe, and that
allowed me access to any surveillance camera in the United States.
At that point, it was nothing to continue bouncing along the
network to get the same access to all the countries all over the
world. It’s actually pretty cool.”
    “ So , what does that
mean?” Carly knew very little about the hacking world. She knew
technology could leave people open to being violated or robbed by
hackers, but what Linus was doing was a little bit
different.
    “ It means that we can look wherever we want in the world and
see what might be going on. ”
    Carly laughed . “That’s
incredible, Linus.”
    He smiled. Carly and the team began looking at various
places around the world, attempting to get any sort of clue as to
how to restore gravity to the planet. They needed to see how the
rest of the world was doing. Maybe if there was an area that was
better off than the rest , they
could determine why that was. Maybe it was something that would
stabilize after a certain amount of time. Everything was just a
good guess at that point.
    “ Do you think that you can
find something that might be able to reestablish gravity?” Carly
asked Henry.
    “ I’m sure of it. There has to be a way. It’s just a matter
of finding the right thing. We are all smart
people , and we are about as
close to scientists as you can be right now. Who’s to say we can’t
solve this problem ourselves?”
    “ Great, let’s do it. Let’s
see what we have out there.”
    Linus tapped a few keys , and camera images started popping up all over the screen.
Different areas of the world were right before Carly. There was
Ohio, New York, China, and Southeast Asia…and on and on. They could
pull up twenty different cameras at a time and take a look. Carly’s
mouth dropped open as she saw what was going on in each screenshot.
Her stomach rolled, and she swallowed back bile. She had never felt
a stronger urge to throw up before in her life. The images before
her were not only frightening but gory as well. Chaos and death
were everywhere in the world. No one was free from it. Buildings
were ruined, and bodies were either lying crushed underneath
objects or floating dead in the air. Although she had witnessed
some of it herself, to see it everywhere and in large masses
terrified her. Oh, dear
God , she thought.
    She wasn’t sure if she could process so much damage all at
once. It looked like anarchy all over the world , and she wondered if they really could stop it.
Could they bring the world back to the way it was, or would they be
stuck suffering without gravity until they were all dead? What had
happened to the world? How would any of them survive? Carly had to
calm down, or she would have a panic attack. She couldn’t allow
herself to get that upset again. Things looked bad, but that didn’t
mean that it was impossible to fix.
    Seeing so much death ,
however, made her long once again to
