Hawke raced around the abandon house and doused everything with gasoline and then returned to the basement.
"I have decided that letting you two watch each other burn to death or die of smoke inhalation would be terribly rude of me." he smiled that evil smile and grabbed a hold of Catherine. "So I was thinking I could separate the two of you." He grabbed Catherine and began dragging her out of the room. Sra instantly jumped at him and the two began fighting for their lives. Hawke threw Catherine into Sara and the two women fell to the ground. He then proceeded to grab Catherine and pulled her out of the room.
Halfway down the narrow halfway, Catherine managed to break free and ran back toward the room to let Sara out. As she reached the door Hawke tackled her to the floor. Catherine began to claw at his face with her nails. After being successful and breaking the skin, Hawke had had enough and lifted her head by her hair and smashed it back into the cement floor.
Catherine let out a small whimper as everything began to spin and Hawke dragged her to another room.
Hawke walked toward the back door of the abandon home and lit a match.
Warrick, Nick, Gil and Brass pulled up out front of the abandon house to see flames and smoke rising high into the night sky.
Brass got on his cell phone and within 8 minutes fire trucks and several other police cruisers were on scene.
Warrick who was impatient and did not want to wait for the firemen to arrive raced into the inferno and disappeared form Gil and Brass's sight.
As Warrick struggled through the house he heard a slight noise that sounded like screaming.
Warrick quickly followed the noise and ended up in the basement.
Getting into the basement he was relieved that there were no flames surrounding the area but the smoke was thick and heavy. Warrick got down on the ground and covered his mouth with his shirt.
Warrick came to he door where Sara had been calling for help. " Sara? It's Warrick, I am coming in move away from the door." he yelled and kicked the door in. Warrick raced into the room and looked around. "Where's Catherine?" he called Sara crawled up to him and stood up " I don't know he took her into a different room."
Warrick turned and grabbed Sara " WE have to get out of here". Warrick and Sara proceeded through the fiery home and out the back door. Sara instantly fell to the ground trying to catch her breath. " Warrick she is still in there we have to go back, we can't leave her." Warrick grabbed Sara and pulled her up. " You are not going back in that house."
Warrick and Sara ran to the front of the home where Gil and Brass were waiting. " Sara" Gil called as he ran to meet them halfway. He glanced behind her " Where's Catherine?" he looked over at Warrick " Where is she?"
A fireman came up to the group. "Sir" he glanced at Warrick " is there anyone in the house?"
Warrick shook his head " her name is Catherine, she is in the basement somewhere there is another room down there but I only had time to get to in the smoke was overpowering."
The firemen turned and ran into the house.

Catherine lie on the cement floor waiting patiently as her head stopped spinning. She sat her self up and peered towards the door. Se gasped when she saw the smoke flowing into the room under the crack of the door. Catherine quickly removed one of her shirts and placed it the crack of the door. She then proceeded to stand up and she began banging the door and calling for help.
The fireman came to the basement steps and quickly walked down. At the third step the structure gave way and the step caved in sending the man hurdling to the ground below. The fireman that was behind him called down " Hey are you alright?" The man who had fallen stood up fast when he heard the cries for help.
"Hello?" he called through the door " Can you hear me?" he paused " I need you to step away from the door."
Catherine moved back form the door and watched as the man came bursting in. He immediately grabbed Catherine and pulled her out. He pointed towards the stairs that had just collapsed " I am going to have to lift you" he yelled.
The man lifted Catherine up and the firefighter at the top of the stairs pulled her to level ground.
The man who had lifted Catherine up came quickly behind her and they made there way through the blaze.
The three of them were ten feet from the door when a beam from the roof came crashing down and blocked the doorway and a piece of the wood broke off and hit one of the men in the face.
The blow to his face sent him stumbling backwards and he took Catherine with him.
