Seven Days of CHASING SIN – Day Four

It’s day four of my CHASING SIN seven day event and things are starting to look very, very ominous for the trio of storm chasers. *cue dramatic music* ;)


Seven Days of Chasing Sin

Day One || Day Two || Day Three


~*~


Dark, angry clouds obliterated the horizon when Kate looked out the back window two days later. The storm had slowed to a crawl, then stalled right in the middle of the Gulf, screwing up forecast tracks countrywide. Well, everyone but hers.

The stall had allowed her to pick up some energy and simply lie in wait. The front everyone thought would scoop her up missed by a few hundred miles and now, Hurricane Jean was barreling toward the coast of Texas.

And Sulaco Island.

“She’s coming.”

“Yes, she is.” Tripp gestured to the computer screen and Kate moved closer to peek over his shoulder. The track she’d forecasted earlier in the week showed in startling clarity. The track wasn’t identical to her guess, but it was similar. Luckily, the power of the storm was minor enough not to raise any of her warning flags.

But the path was close enough for a knot to form in her stomach. “Shit. I wanted to be, but I didn’t at the same time, you know?”

Snyder walked up and set a hand on her shoulder. “The order came through about an hour ago while you were showering. The mayor called a mandatory evacuation for the whole island as a precaution. No exceptions.”
