Chapter Summaries & Analyses
A National Guard helicopter leaves at daybreak to search for Abby and Jonathan over the Tuscan River. The pilot and medics aboard have little hope for finding the children, but they know they have to at least tell Mr. Palmer that they tried. They pass Beaverville and the abandoned fishing cabin but do not see any signs of the children. On the ground, Abby wakes to hear the helicopter approaching overhead. She knows the helicopter could bring her back to her parents, but she cannot move fast enough to reach the open, where the people on board would be able to see her. She crawls around the cabin toward the river as quickly as she can, but the helicopter passes over without seeing her. Abby cries and laments the unfairness of her accident. However, she soon realizes that the helicopter may come back and comforts herself by singing as she waits for it.
The helicopter soon approaches Kendra, and one of the medics sees a form on the sand below. He soon realizes that it is a dog, and when the dog stands up, the rescuers can see a child lying motionless on the sand. Jonathan struggles to open his eyes as the helicopter touches down nearby.
