and to protect her brain from the vibrations coming from the ear. He told her that this disease caused insanity and eventually death. The girl came closer and Hamilton quickly gave her the shot. After giving the shot, Hamilton left to find the missing soldiers.
They soon found the soldiers who were not infected and they were alive and well. They
said that they were looking for infected people again. When Hamilton told them that he treated an infected child, everyone was surprised and they had a stupefied expression on their faces. Hamilton and others continued to look for more people around downtown. One of the soldiers asked, “Why didn’t you ask Katrina if she had any parents or not?” Hamilton responded, ’I don’t think she has any, because her clothes were messy and dirty.
At night, everyone turned their flashlights on and searched the streets that looked like a
ghost town now. Nobody could be seen in the apartments, nor the streets. Meanwhile, in Metairie, Louisiana, Worcester was anxiously waiting for her blood sample. Unfortunately, it was confirmed that she had the encephalitis. Worcester looked and said, “It has to be a mistake! Did you check them?” The doctor replied, “Yes, but if you want, I can check the tests again. However, I will need another blood sample and you cannot leave the hospital.”
Luckily, the second test proved good results for Worcester. The doctor checked it again
and the third test also said that Worcester was not infected. Worcester was allowed to leave and she rushed to Louis Armstrong International Airport near Kenner, Louisiana. She got tickets for the next flight to Cidade de Costa Janeiro which was scheduled to be the next day. The plane had four stops in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru.
The weather in the city was even worse by the time Worcester’s plane landed in Cidade de
Costa Janeiro Int’l Airport. A category-5 tropical cyclone named “Hurricane Diego” with gusts up to 188 miles per hour was blowing roofs and shrapnel through downtown. With the wind tunnel effect, the gusts became over 250 miles which obliterated everything. Worcester quickly entered a building in downtown to use as a safe haven. She had to enter a room without windows immediately.
When she turned around, she saw Hamilton and two more people in the room. Worcester
& Hamilton were stupefied when they saw each other and the two began,
-“What are you doing here?”
-“I should ask the same question!”
-“I came here for a mission. What about you?”
-“I came here to finish my research!”
-“You’ve been pulled off and you were supposed to retire!”
-“I’m not leaving until I find a cure!!”
Hamilton said, “Next week, you will go back. No but’s!”
Worcester and Hamilton had to stay in the room with a swaying door until the hurricane
had dissipated. The next day, the city was silent. Worcester thought that the storm had dissipated and proceeded to open the door. But, Hamilton knew that it wasn’t over. Hamilton said, “Don’t open the door! We are right under the eye of the hurricane! The eye is the calmest part of a cyclone.” Worcester listened to Hamilton and closed the door. Hamilton was right, and the cyclone did not dissipate until two days later.
Hamilton and Worcester left the building and saw that all windows were shattered. The
two surveyed the ruined streets to see how much damage the hurricane had caused. Worcester later saw Katrina and was surprised. However, Hamilton was also surprised because Katrina was not infected anymore. The shores of the city were inundated with storm surge and waterfront houses were flooded.
The hurricane actually had not dissipated but weakened, and it re-intensified. Now it was
a category-4 which headed straight for Southern Nicaragua and then, the island of Jamaica. Hamilton and Worcester later had heard that the islands in the Caribbean Sea and the city of Miami would also have rain showers and one to two feet of storm surge. Four days later, the U.S. government sent two tickets to Hamilton and Worcester to come back to the States. The two accepted the tickets and came to Los Angeles Int’l Airport where they were greeted with cheers and applause.
