The flames were intense and getting closer. Christian was huddled next to a shelf. I had to get into the tunnels. I saw the shelf in front of it and tried to move it. It wouldn't budge. I took all the stuff off but it still wouldn't move. I sank down and held the cloth to my mouth. I was going to die in here. Nobody knew where I was. I heard a loud noise. The last thing I saw before I slipped into darkness was Christian desperately trying to escape. I slipped into blackness and thought of Jim.

When I pulled up to the archives building I was terrified. It was completely engulfed in flames. The fire department was already there. I ran up to the closest one.
"Where's my wife? She was in there."I said franticly.
"3 guys just went in. I don't know how your wife is doing." He told me.
At that moment 3 fire fighters walked out. One was carrying Melinda. She was very limp. I rushed over to her with a stretcher. She was laid down and I immediately put oxygen on her. I loaded her in the back of the van and we drove off. On the way I hooked her up to an IV and heart monitor. When we pulled up to the hospital a doctor was waiting. She was rushed inside the ER and I went to the waiting room. I called all of her friends, Delia, Rick, and Eli. I then called her mom. Within minutes they arrived. I was in tears when they got there. The doctor walked out about an hour after I brought Melinda in.
"Melinda is critical. The lack of oxygen put her in a coma and caused her lungs to collapse. She also has some burns on her left leg." He told me.
"When can I see her?"I asked.
"Right now if you want." He replied.
I got up and followed the doctor to the ICU. He led me to room 113. Melinda was hooked up to all kinds of machines. Her leg was propped up on a pillow in a cast. She was also hooked up to oxygen and a heart monitor. I went right over to her and took her hand in mine. I hoped that she would wake up.
