Alison Bradley was alone for her prenatal checkup when a massive earthquake struck. The disaster trapped her and another pregnant woman in the examination room. A heavy machine slammed into her belly, the pain so sharp that she almost blacked out. In the pitch-black room, the other pregnant woman broke the silence. "My name is Iliana White. Let's hold on together. Someone will come to rescue us." Alison was in so much pain that she could barely speak, her voice coming out in broken gasps. "Please call my husband. He's the captain of the rescue team." Iliana struggled to reach Alison's phone from under the bed and dialed the number labeled "Husband" in Alison's contacts. She called nine times in a row, but no one answered. Finally, the phone died and went black. Iliana tried to comfort her. "Don't worry. My husband is a legend in the rescue team too. He'll come for me." Iliana put the phone on speaker, and it was answered after one ring. "Honey, help me." She let out a single sob, and the voice on the other end immediately reassured her. "Don't be afraid. I'm coming right now." The sound of heavy cranes and the rush of people heading toward the hospital filled the air, but Alison felt like she was falling into an icy abyss. It was because the deep voice on the other end sounded exactly like her husband, Harrison Potter.
