Chapter 5 — Heavy wind and rain lash against the unprotected package
Driving rain began blowing horizontally across the wooden deck.
The sudden squall caught the unprotected package square in the side.
The unsecured box flaps whipped upward under the force of the gale.
They caught the full pressure of the howling wind and lifted wide open.
Water poured directly over the exposed cardboard edges.
Samantha watched the display closely as the storm intensified on the recording.
The camera angle clearly captured torrents of rainwater splashing directly into the interior of the box.
Every gust forced more water past the poorly sealed seams.
The moisture soaked straight through the outer layers within seconds.
Oliver stopped his protests and stared at the screen.
The natural elements were doing all the damage without any human assistance.
Samantha tapped the zoom feature on her phone screen to focus tighter on the box during a heavy gust.
