Turn Up The Heat

Chapter 39 - Blake & Riley

                       Blake

Of all days why today? We not had one fire but two fires. As soon as one went out another one was called in. God I don't want my wife to worry. I smile just thinking about that. We're married, and instead of being with her I'm here.

"Okay men the first fire was a walk in the park, this one looks to be worse. Let's do what we can. " The Chief tells everyone what to do and Chase and I go inside.

"I don't think we will find anyone in here Blake. You've noticed that the fires have been set when no one is home."

"Yeah I have noticed that too. The only one had a person in it was with Angela."

"Strange. Let's hurry up and check upstairs, so we can get you back to your wife."

We head upstairs and check the rooms, but no one is here.

"Clear"

"Clear...Blake watch out!"

But it was too late and I stepped on a weak spot and felt myself falling through. Chase grabs my hand to try to help me up.

"Blake hold on! Fuck I'm losing your grip."

I try to hold on but my hand slips and I fall to the first floor. Images of me and Riley run through my mind. Lucky I land on the couch but when I fell my leg  got twisted .

"Fuck!"

Last thing I see is more of the ceiling falling down on top of me.

                      Riley

I'm sorry Ry but there's been an accident.

That's the last thing I hear from Scott as I drop my phone and fall to my knees.

"NOOOOOOO!!!"

I cry out as everything gets blurry. I hear voices around me but it's hard to breathe. I feel Sam, Max and Matteo by my side as Lendze speaks with Scott.

Ry are you there?

Scottie

Lendz, is Ry okay?

She will be once we know what happened.

I don't know the extent of his injuries. But him and Chase both got hurt.We will be at the hospital in about two minutes.

We'll be on our way Scottie.

Be careful Lendz

Always see you soon.

Blake's at the hospital, now is not the time for me to have a breakdown. I need to be strong for him, me and our babies. I put my hand on my stomach and say a silent pray as I get to my feet.

Daddy's going to be okay peanuts... he has to be.

I get up and everyone is at my side.

"I need to go now."

I start walking to the front of the house with determination in my steps.

Stay strong, stay strong.

As I reach the front of the house I am surprised to see Chief Randall there.

"Blake would want me to get you there safe."

I hold in my tears and bite my tongue because he was suppose to keep him safe. I nod my head because I don't trust myself to be polite right now.

"He'll be alright sis, he has to be." Sam whispers, I think she is trying to convince herself just as much me.
