Hurricane Strike!

Friday, August 4

In the Living Room

It's now 4:15 PM on Friday, August 4th. This is your 6th day visiting the Castillo family. You're standing in the living room. The wind and rain from yesterday are gone. You notice that the storm shutters are off the windows. Outside, it is a grey, overcast day. You turn on the TV to check the weather forecast...

After listening to the weather forecast, you notice Hugo the dog is standing in the middle of the living room wagging his tail and holding the Castillo's cell phone in his mouth.

On the Phone

Suddenly the phone rings and Camille's dad, Gilbert, answers it. It's a call from Aunt Betsy. Help Gilbert give good advice to Aunt Betsy for her return home.

Gilbert hangs up the phone.

In the Office

You decide to go to the office and play on the Castillo's computer.

The window is no longer shuttered. It's light outside but cloudy. You sit at the desk in front of the Castillo's computer.
