I wake up to a strange smell. I check the time; 3:42 A.M. I walk to my closet and get dressed quickly. As I open my door, I hear a yelp. I run down to the 1st floor and water soaks my socks. Water has flooded the entire first floor, and Stella and Finster are both stuck on the kitchen counter. "REOW!" Stella squeals as the cold rain water grazes her belly fur. I carefully leap onto a chair next to the counter, and I grab them both. I jump back to the stairs and let them go. I run upstairs and knock rapidly on my parent's door. "Yes?" my mom mumbles, half awake. "The first floor is flooding!!!!" I yell through the door. I hear my mom throwing off her covers and rapidly running to the door. "We need to get your brothers." She yawns.

We all got our most valuable belongs out of the house and dry when the police come. They open the door, and all of the rain water floods out of our house. They walk in, soaked to the knee. My mom speaks with them and I'm left with Henry and Nate. Nate is huddling with Finster and Henry has his snake in his hands. Stella is still shivering, but I grab a towel and dry her off. Mom comes back. "So it turns out someone forgot to reopen the drains after the construction underground, so most people's houses have been flooded" I wonder what Benny is going to do with the underground worker. Benny is in charge of our government. He usually makes them jobless. But this is huge. He could kill them. Benny. Has. The. Power. To do. Anything. To anyone. And I don't think this construction worker has a chance. I know that's EXTREMELY morbid, but Benny doesn't care.
