After Dylan and Jacksonazes up at the sky while the rain soaked them to the bone

"Holy shit balls," Dylan exclaiet the fk outta here," Cash shouted over the wind

Getting back to their cars proved to be a whole other workout The rain fell harder and the wind blew faster, providing a wall of resistance each time Seth took a step The thunder was so loud he couldn’t hear his own thoughts, and each ti sizzled over the furious ocean, it was easy to see that the waves were gathering in size and speed

When he finally stumbled up to his Jeep, he let out a breath heavy with relief

Cash and Jackson raced to the SUV in the neighboring space As Cash unlocked the driver’s door, he glanced over at Seth "Text when you get hooes for you two," Seth called back

He and Dylan practically dove into the Jeep Fortunately, the top was up, so they were spared having to drive ho wet and cursing up a blue streak as Seth started the engine

"Looks like that annoying weatherht for the first tiloating up a stor up a stor outside this Jeep?"

Seth stared at his friend "Yeah, I got it the first time you said it, and it wasn’t funny then either"

He reversed out of the parking space and turned onto theso furiously he was surprised they didn’t fly away Raindrops battered the roof of the car, so loud it was like the Jeep was being hit with an unending streaolf balls Luckily, he and Dylan only lived five minutes away Visibility was totally shot, and the vehicle must have hydroplaned half a dozen tiot them there in one piece

He parked in the driveway and killed the engine, then gazed at the scary black chaos beyond the windshield before shooting Dylan a sidelong look "Ready?"

Dylan sighed "Yup"

Seth reached for the door handle "See you on the other side, brother"
