In a Heartbeat
I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

Chapter One - "Dire Consequences"
"Hank, the police and the firefighters aren't going to make it on time." Tyler argued. Behind them a fire ripped apart an apartment building.
"We can't go in , Tyler. It isn't protocol."
"Look, Jamie did it and was fine. If he was here he'd do it again. I'm not going to let those people die in there." Tyler sighed. He was right. If Jamie had been here, instead of sick at home he would try and save the people in the building. How could he not do the same?
"No ,Tyler."
"Fine. Then can we at least get supplies ready until the firemen get here?"
"Alright." Hank turned to go to the rig. Tyler turned to the fire. Suddenly a hand fell on his shoulder.
"If you go in there I'm going too."
"Val…"
"I'm going." she said forcefully.
"Okay come on." He said as the two ran into the fire and into fate.

"Hello?" Tyler called . The fire blazed around them. Thick smoke felt as if it was going to suffocate the him. "Anyone here?"
He breathed a breath of air on the ground and stood up, looking for survivors.
"Tyler!" he heard Val call in the distance.
Already the smoke had wrapped it's arms around him. Threatening to strangle him. He fell to the ground again. "Tyler." she called. He made his way to her.
"I found some one, a little boy.." she replied. The boy lay in the corner, huddled under debris.
"Help me get him out." he said to Val. Together they pushed the hot debris off the boy. He moaned softly. Val checked his pulse. "It's very weak, we have to get him out of here."
"Alright , you go. I'll be right behind you."
"Tyler-"
"Go!" he yelled.
Overhead the ceiling was weak. Fire was slowly eating it apart. He never saw it coming. The ceiling collapsed on Tyler, before he had the chance to get out.
