Amber POVWe were far enough from the island that I had finally stopped watching it.That was when the explosion came.Even through the roar of the helicopter blades, we heard it.A deep, violent sound that seemed to travel across the ocean itself.Everyone turned toward the windows."What was that?" I asked.Mr. Stait was already speaking into his headset."All aircraft, report."One by one, the pilots responded.Nobody had been hit.Then Jason pointed through the window."Amber."I looked.A massive cloud of smoke was rising from the island.From the direction of the beach.My stomach twisted."That was bigger than the others."Secretary Peterson stared at the smoke."Much bigger."Mr. Stait said something quietly into his radio before looking at us."The beach."Nobody needed him to explain further.The place where the bodies had been.The evidence.Possibly the people responsible.Gone.Jason tightened his hand around mine."At least we're not there anymore."I rested my head agai
