"Stop fighting you two!" Jessie yelled at Luke and Emma. Zuri and Ravi came down the stairs - they'd been having a tea party with Chubby the bear in Zuri's bedroom. Ravi was holding Mrs Kipling's lead.
"Jessie, I think I burned something at my tea party - I smell smoke." Zuri said. Jessie crinkled her nose.
"I smell it too." She said. Luke and Emma nodded in agreement. Bertram entered the living room.
"What's that smell?" He asked.
"We don't know. I was kinda hoping you'd burned our dinner, that way I wouldn't have to lose to your mac n cheese again!" Luke joked. Suddenly, the fire alarm in the building sounded, and the Rosses began to freak out. Everyone clambered into the elevator, except Emma. Even though the fire was in their penthouse, and she knew this from the smoke visible from the stairs, Emma wanted to save her parents. She ran upstairs, coughing from the smoke. She couldn't access her parent's room, for the fire had started there. She couldn't get right outside the the room either, because the fire had spread slightly outside of the door. All Emma could do was yell.
"Mum, Dad!" She shouted at the the top of her lungs, but chocked on the smoke. There was nothing more she could do, as the flames soared towards her.
So Emma ran down the back stairs, still choking on the smoke. Tony was about to leave the building himself, but he saw Emma, choking on the smoke and her clothes slightly stained from it too.
"Oh my goodness, Emma!" Tony cried. "Jessie is so worried!" Emma left the building and joined her family across the road.
Over the road, Luke noticed Emma running across the road.
"Jessie." He said in alarm, pointing at Emma. Emma reached her family, still choking from the smoke.
"Emma, why did you stay back?" Jessie asked.
"Mum and dad." Emma spluttered, coughing away. Jessie thumped her back, trying to help her stop coughing, but it just lead to Emma throwing up a bit.
A couple of minutes later, the fire brigade arrived at the scene. The fire took a while extinguish. As it was being put out, two firefighters came out of the building with a figures over their shoulders. One man had Christina and the other had Morgan. In case of any reported injuries, an ambulance had been called to the scene. Morgan and Christina were place in the back. After that, the firefighters approached the public, who were anxiously waiting for information on the event.
"I'm sure you are all wanting to hear about today's little incident." A firefighter said. There were mumbles of 'yes' and 'tell me more' amongst the crowd of people.
"Well, the fire started in the penthouse on the tenth floor, property of the Rosses. We are currently holding an investigation into the cause of the fire. A couple of severe injuries have occurred, but they are being treated as we speak. Some penthouses will be out of order for a couple of days, to make sure the stability and structure of building remains unharmed. The entire penthouse has been destroyed. There will be no access to the building yet, but we will keep in touch via e-mail, as to when the building will be open once more." The firefighter exclaimed. Emma collapsed to the floor. He smoke had damaged her lungs a bit, causing her to pass out. She was quickly loaded not a stretcher and taken to hospital, alongside her parents. Jessie and the gang tagged along too.
Emma was quickly seen to in the hospital, with the Rosses being regularly informed of her progress. Overall, she seemed fine, she'd just inhaled a lot of smoke. Morgan and Christina on the other hand weren't doing to well. Cardiac arrest had been performed on both Rosses numeral times, and it didn't look like they were going to make it. The doctors were doing all they could.
A couple of hours later, Jessie received an e-mail, entitled 'information regarding today's fire'. It was from the firefighter, who's name turned out to be Mark. The e-mail read:
'This e-mail will provide you with information regarding the fire that took place on the tenth floor in the apartment today. Floors where penthouses will not be accessed overnight: floor nine and floor eleven. Floors that are inaccessible at all: floor ten. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. As soon as we have a breakthrough or any important news, we will be sure to contact you.'
As Jessie read this e-mail, Emma was wheeled into the ward on her bed. Jessie, Bertram and the kids were updated on her condition.
"She inhaled a lot of smoke. She'll be fine once she wakes up." The doctor said.
"Good, thank you doctor, we've been worried sick. Is there anything more on Morgan and Christina Ross?" Jessie asked.
"We haven't heard any more news regarding Morgan and Christina, but as soon as we hear anything, we will share it with you." The doctor said, before leaving the ward.
Two hours later, Emma was still sound asleep her bed. She looked rather peaceful, but knowing her lungs were filled with harmful gases from the smoke she'd inhaled didn't put Jessie's mind at rest. No news had been heard on Morgan and Christina's case, although Jessie had received an e-mail from Mark, with information on the fire. It read:
'This e-mail will provide you with more detail regarding the start of the fire and its location. It started on a first floor bedroom, belonging to Morgan and Christina Ross, in the apartment on the tenth floor. The fire completely destroyed the entire penthouse - nothing was rescued. There is no access to this apartment without authorisation. No exceptions. We have however established the cause of the blaze. Whilst investigating the bedroom, we found a match safely tucked behind a radiator. The fire was started deliberately.'
