~ The Reed's family home getting burnt by a mysterious person with molotov cocktails ~

Santiago was laying down on his bed listening to music while his parents were making dinner for him and his sister, Octavia. He was blasting songs by Metallica, his favourite band that he loves listening to; Santiago started singing along to songs when all of a sudden--he could hear his family screaming for help...especially his parents in particular. Santiago rushed towards the kitchen to see what was happening--he looked all around and could see flames surrounding the whole house that his family lives in... he saw his sister. "What are we going to do?" He asked his sister trying not to stutter in a nervous voice, "both of us run out the front and scream for help." Octavia replied in a scared manner while they ran as fast as they could towards the front door and opened it. "SOMEONE HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE" Octavia and Santiago screamed without looking at the large number of flames coming from the roof and walls...the neighbour that lives next door to the Reed's family home. The Neighbour quicky grabbed his phone and dialed 911.

"Hello this is 911, what emergency service do you require?" The operator asked "There is a fire in my next-door neighbour's house.  Their children are out of the house, but the parents are still in the torched flames." The person replied in a shocked tone--looking at how deadly the flames were. "Is there any evidence that points to the house fire being man-made??" The operator replied, Santiago's neighbour was examining the house. Someone lit an molotov cocktail and threw it at the family's home. "It looks like someone caused their house to burn down" The guy replied...wondering why the hell would someone do this to Santiago, Octavia and his parents. "Police, ambulance and the fire bigrade will be at your address immediately." The female operator said and hung up on the phone.

Santiago and Octavia were crying for so long... they wanted to know if they're parents are okay and safe. The guy gave both of them a hug, "your parents are going to be fine I promise" he said while tears streamed down his shirt. Sirens were coming from the street they live on; police, ambulance and the fire bigrade were speeding towards Santiago's and Octavia's family home. The police officers got out of their car, so did the nurses and firefighters, they saw Santiago and Octavia having a mental breakdown and knew it was their house that got burnt down. Two police officers approached the children while the other three officers were looking inside the Reed family home. The nurses were running towards the house while firefighters were trying to get rid of the fire, they grabbed Santiago and Octavia while the officers entered inside their house "everything is going to be fine. You're in the right hands" one of the nurses said as she hugged the two children. The fires got out their houses, started spraying water at the house one of the police officers started running to one of the nurses "the parents' bodies have been found, both of them are dead." he whispered to the nurse. "We need to put use in the car and take you to the station so you're safe." the officer said looking at the nurses running towards their house and carried their dead bodies into the ambulance vehicle...Santiago and Octavia saw their parents for the last time. "MUM, DAD WAKE UP!!!"  both of them cried and started screaming, the officer gave Santiago and Octavia a hug "we are going to take care of you I promise." he said, the two siblings kept on screaming in pain and entered the police car.
