His lips were parted, air refusing to fill his lungs. Sylvie's house was on fire. Her house... How was it possible?

The ran over to one of the fire agents that stood, directing the others.

What happened here?" He demanded.

The fire agent wanted to ignore him not until he saw his face. "A gas explosion, sir. We're working hard to put it out.

Kage's heart felt so heavy. He never thought it'd be possible to feel that way until now. "Is there..." he paused for a deep breath. Is there anyo inside?"

"Yes. But the medical team are trying to rescue her now."

That was it. He lost it.

Did he just say a 'her'? A female was trapped in there? Sylvie...

He didn't think. He was about running into it when he saw the medical team roll someone out on a stretcher. He couldn't get a clear view of her face yet, she was unconscious.

"Stephanie!" He heard someone cry out..

No, not someone, but Sylvie.

He looked around frantically and found her on his left, running to meet the lady on the stretcher.

Kage had never taken a breath deeper than that before.

Sylvie was in tears as she rushed to meet Stephanie. She'd been greatly affected by the fire and was unconscious.

"Oh, my God," she sobbed. "Stephanie..."

When they reached the ambulance, the medical team had to stop her from going in with them. They got Stephanie in and drove off.

She buried

her face in her palms, feeling so terrible. She'd have been in the house when the fire started, if she hadn't stepped out to get the barbecue she was craving. Stephanie had been on a phone call, so she didn't want to disturb her and had to leave alone. It was upon her return home that she found the house in flames with people gathered around.

But how could they have been a gas explosion? she and Stephanie were always very careful in the kitchen. It shouldn't be possible.

"Sylvie," Kage's soft voice reached her cars before his hand came upon her.

She turned snappily and found him looking genuinely concerned.

"Are you... Are you alright?"

Her face was covered with tears. Seeing him somehow, made her even more angry.

"Stay away from me!" She half-yelled. "This is all your fault, you know? I don't know who's nerves it is you've gone on that wouldn't just let me be."
