He grabbed Jason by the shirt and dragged him up the attic
ladder and then moved to the corner of the attic where the roof was already
being lifted by the water. Holding his hand out with a swift upward motion of
his palm, the roof flew off and was taken by the storm wind.
He hoisted Jason to the roof and reached for Samantha who
was now just behind him with her hand outstretched keeping the water at bay.
They climbed onto the roof and huddled as a family on the peak. Exhausted,
Jason Sr. and Samantha knew neither of them had the strength to make the run to
the north levee.
Jason Sr. reached into his pocket and screamed into Jason’s ear. “FIND HER! FIND THE RUSSIAN!” Then he tore two pieces of shingle from the mangled roof and shoved them into Jason’s hands. “RUN!” He pushed Jason toward the edge opposite Samantha, who was weakening. As the water engulfed his parents, Jason ran.
