Chapter 5 Chapter five introduces the eve that the rapture occurs. Judd is on a 747 airplane when he can't stop thinking about his family. Vicki returns home and her parents tried to get her to accept Christ but she just wouldn't accept. Lionel fell asleep with his uncle in the basement of his house. Ryan was sleeping when sirens woke him up and he looked out the window and saw a pink glow in the sky, but he fell back asleep.
Chapter 6 Judd is on the plane when he notices that people are screaming. They are wondering where their husbands or family members are. Judd overheard a conversation that an old man had disappeared into thin air leaving his clothes and wig behind. The plane is forced to land in Chicago and out the plane window Judd sees the jammed cars and the accidents that had happened. They slide down the chute and Judd calls a cab and goes home. The driver told him that many houses were on fire due to the disappearances of people leaving the stove on.
Chapter 7 Vicki wakes up the next morning to find that her little sister school clothes were left neatly on the chair and her mom hadn't woken her up. She got up and went to her parent's room to find her dad's T-shirt and boxers under the covers with the leather "WWJD"ÃÂ necklace.
Chapter 8 Lionel woke up with his Uncle AndrÃÂé and finds nothing but clothes everywhere.
Lionel knew what was going on and he just wanted to blame AndrÃÂé for it. He called up the local church and they told him that what was going on was the rapture and everyone who wasn't saved was left behind.
Chapter 9 Ryan wakes up also and notices his mother is not there. He finds a note on the refrigerator that says "Make breakfast I will be home later, I went to pick up dad."ÃÂ Ryan walks over to Raymie's house and nobody is there and he sees the cars there so they couldn't have left. He goes home to find the TV tuned in on the news and they had a casualty's list of who had died. Ryan sees his mother and father's name and just breaks down into tears being left an orphan.
Chapter 10 Judd makes his way to hope Village church after checking all the rooms. At the same time Vicki, Ryan, and Lionel were on there way also. They get to the church and they all meet each other. The only Church member left was one of the chairmen. He had been left to give instructions to the others. He put in a video for the Kids to watch. This is where the book ends.
