headphones up full blast. This was louder, and there was no turning down the volume.

Judd glanced back as a huge crater opened. The burning van and a section of road were swallowed
whole. Black smoke rose from the wreckage. Nearby a farmhouse vanished. Horses ran in circles in their
corral.

тАЬWhenтАЩs this thing gonna stop?тАЭTaylorshouted.

Judd heard crumpling metal and saw power lines. The towers fell, the deadly lines crashing with them.

тАЬLook out!тАЭ Judd yelled.

When the sun went black, Judd couldnтАЩt see his hands in front of his face. He heard crackling nearby.

тАЬDonтАЩt move,тАЭTaylorsaid.

JuddтАЩs heart beat furiously. One wrong step and they could be killed instantly.

A flash lit the sky, and Judd saw the power lines only a few feet away.

тАЬTo your left,тАЭTaylorsaid, and the two struggled to their feet.

Lionel Washington was in the exercise yard near the main compound building when the great earthquake
began. He had been told he had family who wanted to care for him. That was a lie. What he found in this
secludedAlabamatown was a Global Community training camp.

Lionel and the others were being groomed as monitors. The camp leaders called them the тАЬeyes and
ears of Nicolae Carpathia.тАЭ

Lionel hated the idea of helping the Global Community, but pretending to go along with them was his
only chance. More than anything he wanted to get back to his friends inMount Prospect. If that meant
memorizing a few GC chants and faking obedience, heтАЩd do it.

Someone in camp noticed a horde of snakes slithering across the compound. Moments later, Lionel felt
the ground rumble. He turned to run inside a building, then stopped. A friend ran past him.

тАЬDonтАЩt go in there, Conrad!тАЭ Lionel yelled.

Conrad kept going. Lionel followed, screaming for the boy to stop.
Lionel caught him on the stairwell, grabbed his arm, and turned for the front door.

тАЬWhatтАЩre you doing?тАЭ Conrad said.

тАЬEarthquake!тАЭ Lionel said.

тАЬWe have to get out!тАЭ

Conrad ran. Lionel followed. The hardwood floor vibrated. He was almost outside when the beams on
the porch gave way. Lionel shoved Conrad to safety as the porch crashed down on him.
