knew calling her by her real name would get a rise out of her.
"Baby what's butthead doing driving the van?" Gavin mumbled into her lover's neck.
"No idea but it can't be good." She hung onto Gavin when the van was shoved to the side and
hail started pounding on the roof. "Ohh shit, there's a tornado near by." She slid from under
Gavin and crawled on the floor looking for her clothes. "How far out is it Butkis?"
"It's right behind us; we're heading away from the damn thing." She fought with the steering
wheel and swore when the hail slanted towards them. "We're gonna swing around it and head
towards where it touched down, Sawyer's heading right into it."
Toby dropped into the passenger seat, grabbed another headset and clicked the radio on. "Andy
what have ya got on this?"
"F4 hit right outside of Waco, 202mph winds, hail, and massive destruction, it took out a
shopping mall and is headed for another small town."
"Can we get around it and to the town to warn them, call the local TV station to sound an alert?"
"We tried but they keep blowing us off." Toby looked up when Gavin dropped down between the
seats.
"I'll call them and use my clout to talk to their news director. Will the cell phones work in this
weather?"
"If not then we'll use the radio and patch it through to them." Gavin took Toby's cell phone and
got the phone number from Andy via the radio, she waited until it was picked up on the other
end.
"Hello, this is Gavin De La Rouge of WKBC Atlanta; I need to speak to your news director."
She nodded her head at her lover and waited for the connection. "Hey Arnold, this is Gavin, we
have a serious problem here, I want you to speak to Professor Storm so she can explain the
circumstances we're facing." She handed the phone to Toby and leaned into the seat. She
watched as dark brows dipped over an aquiline nose with concentration.
"Send out a tornado warning right now, an F4 is headed right towards you, you have about ten
minutes at the most to have everyone get to safety." She leaned her head back against the seat
and closed her eyes. "Thank you baby." She reached for her lover's hand and brought it to her
lips. "I hope everyone is able to get to a safe place, because you, they may just stand a chance."
"I didn't do this on my own Toby, just glad that I could do something." She gripped Toby's hand
tightly in hers. "Ohh my Gods look!" She pointed to a dark cloud reaching down from the sky in
front of them, she clung to the seat when Butkis slammed on the brakes and the van fishtailed.
The wind spun the vehicles around to face the opposite direction and push them all over the
place, Butkis fought with the wheel until she was able to get the van back up onto the road. She
saw Bevis flip the overhead spotlights on and then head towards a low area off to their right.
Following right behind her, she felt the wheels leave the road and the van tilt dangerously to the
side.
"I hate this shit T, I really hate it!" The van plunged downward throwing all of them forward,
their grunts of pain accompanied the sound of crushing metal. "Fuck me!" Butkis groaned and
wiped blood from her eyes. "Sorry T, I'll fix your van& sonofabitch!" She yelled when they were
hit from behind when Dustin plowed into them. "I ain't fixing the back!"
"Come on we have to get out of here!" T helped Gavin to her feet and slid the side door open,
waiting for a dazed Butkis; she waved to the others and pointed to an area where it dropped off
sharply. "RUN!" They had just dropped over the edge and huddled together when the wind
picked up and roared. Debris flew around them bouncing off ground and flying over their
huddled bodies. Dustin looked up from where she had her face buried in her wife's back and
gawked at what was spinning in the air. She pushed on Toby and pointed.
"Holy fuck!" She grabbed Gavin by her hand and shoved Bevis to her feet, pointing to the right
of where they were, she pulled Gavin behind her until they came to where the ground was
hollowed out more and offered them more protection. Huddled together, they watched as one of
Sawyer's trucks spun in the air and slammed to the ground where they had been hiding. Toby
covered Gavin's body with her own and prayed that none of the flying parts reached them. A
loud explosion and a wave of intense heat washed over their bodies. Toby grunted and jerked
from a sharp pain in her upper thigh, she felt Bevis slam into her and Dustin scream. In a matter
of seconds, all was quiet except for the crackling of fire and the buckling of steel from heat.
Gavin crawled out from under her lover and rolled her onto her back; she looked down into
clouded blue eyes and brushed her bangs back from her forehead. Feeling Toby squeeze her hand
and clench her teeth showed that she was in pain but could handle it.
"Is every body OK?" She looked to the others and saw Dustin holding her arm to her chest and
Andy ripping her shirt apart to staunch the blood soaking through the sleeve on her wife's upper
arm.
Bevis whimpered and tried to look behind her. "Something stabbed me in my ass!"
"Don't look at me," Butkis wiped the still flowing blood from the cut between her eyes. "Uhhmm
Bevis, you have a windshield wiper blade sticking out of your ass."
"Didn't I just say that something stabbed me in my ass?" She slapped at Butkis when she reached
to pull it out. "Don't you dare touch it!"
"I wouldn't dream of playing with your ass." She grinned.
"I know you Butthead, you'd twist the damn thing!"
"Uhhmm guys," Gavin pointed to the red trucks coming their way. "Is that the Calvary coming to
help?"
Toby rolled onto her side and placed her head in her lover's lap. "Not likely, those assholes could
care less about us." She ran a hand to the back of her thigh and felt a piece of shrapnel sticking
out. "Baby, will you look at my leg and make sure I'm not bleeding to death."
Green eyes shot wide, Gavin leaned over her lover's back and saw the shiny piece of metal
sticking from her leg. "Why didn't you tell me you were hurt?"
"I have no idea, maybe it's the fact that I'm still amazed that we're alive and that I'm too macho."
"I think we should get out of here and head to the nearest hospital, we all need some stitches."
Dustin got to her feet and held onto Andy for support. "Maybe Sawyer will take us?" She burst
out laughing at the rolling eyes of her friends.
"When Hell freezes over and I grow a dick." Toby grumbled into Gavin's stomach.
Gavin shivered and shook her head. "EEWW& that's something I don't want to see."
The six of them walked to where Sawyer and his crew were trying to put out the flames with fire
extinguishers, Toby stood watching them until Sawyer gave her a glare.
"You could have done something Storm!" He yelled at her.
"Like what catch it as it was plummeting to the ground?"
"I lost three men in that truck!" He yelled as he walked closer. "And a lot of money!"
"Is that all that matters to you Sawyer, money? Three men lost their lives because you headed
right into the tornado, it should have been YOUR ass being sucked up."
"Fuck you Storm, I have pictures and video that you don't and I'll get another truck and grant
