Part 26: “LANDFALL”

Chapter 69 Summary: “Transcript of Witness Testimony 369A”

Agnes and Nicole are still in the inflatable. The girls are freezing cold, and the tide is sweeping them toward to sea. Agnes prays silently, for God to get them to the shore safely, or if someone must die, that it be only her. Agnes’s arms are cramping, and she feels herself giving up. Nicole shouts to her to keep rowing. A wave crashes into the boat, and Nicole tells Agnes to row for her life. They finally make it to shore. 

Chapter 70 Summary: “Transcript of Witness Testimony 369B”

Nicole is delirious by this point, with her left arm feeling like it is detached from the rest of her. She and Agnes navigate over slippery rocks and seaweed. Nicole and Agnes climb uphill to get away from the waves, and Becka encourages them. Nicole does not remember Becka being in the boat with them, but she is there on the beach.

There is a shout overhead, and someone calls to Agnes and Nicole. The lights move down the hill toward them. Ada is holding one of the lights. Nicole collapses, and Garth picks her up. He makes her smile by telling her that he’d known she would make it. At the top of the hill are television cameras.
