Carter ran into the building, covered in bright red flames. His suit was rubbing against his neck, there would probably be a red mark after this. The air was thick and hot. His suit protected him from the flames, not the heat the flames put off. He rushed through each room, inspecting to see if any people were trapped or needed help getting out.

He ran into what seemed to be an office. A woman was unconscious on the floor. Carter knelt down beside her and gently shook her to see if she would wake up. He checked her pulse, she was still alive. He threw her over his shoulder and ran out the building.

Fire trucks were hosing off the two story house. The flames grew smaller and finally disappeared completely.

Carter set the girl down gently across the stretcher and paramedics rolled her into the ambulance. Carter felt almost committed, he climbed in after them and sat beside the woman lying unconscious.

“Is she going to be okay?” Carter asked the paramedic working on the girl.

“Inhaled a lot of smoke, a few level 2 degree burns but nothing too serious, she should be fine.” The woman replied.

Carter rubbed his hands down his face, it was 2:00 in the morning. Carter lived for these late shifts, that’s when all the action happened.

The ambulance pulled into the Emergency Room entrance. Carter helped the doctors roll her into the hospital. They gave her oxegyn and hooked IV’s up to her forearm, then carter was escorted out of the room.

About an hour later they called Carter back into the room.

“Do you know this woman?” One man asked.

“No, i don’t.” Carter replied.

“Your a fireman, yes?”

“Yeah, I am.”

“She should wake up any moment. I have to run but somebody needs to be here when she wakes up. Will you stay in the room please?”

Carter nodded and the doctor was off. Carter barely had time to sit down before the girl woke up. She took a quick inhale and tried to sit up but was unable to.

“Where am I?” she panicked.

“Hey, hey it’s okay,” Carter comforted her,”your safe i promise. you were in a fire, I got you out of there.”

She blinked.

“What’s your name?” Carter asked.

“Brynn.” She mumbled. She was scared, she wasn’t supposed to be here, this was bad, really bad.

Carter leaned in and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear,” Your okay ma’am, i promise.”

Brynn gulped. He saved her. She didn’t think he realized that he saved a criminal. A law breaker. Everything that goes against what he is. This was bad. This was really bad.
