He waited for a few minutes after they left to go to the gurney and rescue his friend. It was only once he was close to the gurney that he saw who was lying on it properly. It was Eileen Williams, one of the cheerleaders at school.
Unlike Sarah’s group, she was nice to most people she met in the halls and was well-liked by almost everyone in the school, except Sarah and her groupies. That was before Sarah became his sister and replaced Zoe at the start of all of this. He realized that he had lost Karyn while he had been hiding as the blue-clad men had been bringing her and the others into the warehouse. He knew that he would not find her in the short time that he had left before the mist vanished for the day. The warehouse was huge and she could be anywhere. He would make sure he returned the following night and hunt for her once more. This would mean that he would have to spend at least one day with Tina Black in the world and pretend that she was his best friend. He was not sure if he would be able to do it but it would allow him the time to better plan for his return visit.
Jon then turned his attention to Eileen , he tried to shake her awake. Like all of the others he had seen in the warehouse the last time he was there, he could not wake Eileen. No matter how hard he tried. He turned towards the door that he had come in through. He saw that the mist was starting to fade. He decided that he would have to leave both Karyn and Eileen there until his return visit and ran towards the door and beyond that the mist.
He made it back to the real world just as the mist disappeared once more. A dejected Jon turned and headed back towards his house. He got back just as time restarted again. He gently made his way back to his room and managed to get an hour of dreamless sleep.
After what seemed like only a few minutes he could hear his new sister Sarah shouting, “Come On Jon time to get up for school.” “Okay, Okay” was his reply as he slowly got himself out of bed. He shook himself awake got dressed and headed down to the kitchen for breakfast.
