Stuck in you

Holley never wanted to came here,

but she found it hard to escape the team's influence. After a period of hesitation, she reluctantly gave in to their goading and agreed.

If she decided to quit, she would be the only one who wouldn't join the rescue.

Even though most would not dare say anything about it, nothing was so certain when they left.

Holley regretted that she allowed herself to agree to follow them there, but she made sure not to show a hint of regret to the others.

Rachel slumped down on the stone bar behind her. She felt so tired that she didn't care whether it was dirty or not. She stared at the bottled water in her hand, and felt moved by Holley's thoughtfulness.

She felt ashamed by her first reaction of feeling wary of Holley when she first came over.

She realized that some small acts of kindness could easily move some people in the kind of environment that they were in.

But the feeling did not last long for Rachel. They had to eat quickly and then continued to focus on tending to the wounded patients.

Their priority was to set up some tents so that they'd have a place that could be better prepared for helping others who were in trouble.

None of them had ever experienced anything like it before. The long line of wounded children melted their hearts and made each one of them feel sad.

Most of the wounded victims were the elderly and children. There were also some injured middle-aged couples who stayed in their hometown.

Some of the injured aged people who waited for medical aid were soaked in the rain before getting there.

Rachel set up a tent with another member of the same team. They then moved the badly injured elderly victims in there with the others.

She felt exhausted after she completed a lot of the tasks. Her clothes were wet and they had already stuck to her body making her body feel cold and numb. The scrubs and lab coat didn't offer much when it came to rain protection. Her inner clothes were wet and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

But the only thing that she could do was push on.

Fortunately, they'd received news that the rescue team was on their way. Even the medical team got involved and was on their way as well.

Once the other teams arrived, they could leave and rest.

The news brought hope and relief to everyone in the team. But not long after the news arrived, Holley came running to her in such urgency.

She went straight to talk to Rachel and motioned for Rachel to follow her. Rachel followed her right away.

When they reached a secluded area, Holley suddenly lowered her voice and said nervously to Rachel, "Rachel! Please, help me! Please!"

"Why? What's wrong?"

Holley grabbed Rachel's hand and brought her to another location. Rachel staggered to keep up with her as she followed her through the maze of tents. After what seemed like several minutes of navigating through the tents, Holley finally slowed down until they completely stopped. "Can you tell me what happened?" Rachel asked as she gasped for air. Their quickened jaunt through the area left her almost breathless.
