When Kimberly returned from visiting her friends in Switzerland, it was time for her to stay at her father's for 2 weeks. Kim always gets scared whenever she has to go and stay with him. She loves him and all and he would never do anything to hurt her. It is just that he lives in a broken down shack in the wrong part of town. Lucas knows how much this place scares his daughter, but it is the only place he can afford at this time.
Lucas is leaving Kimberly there alone for one of the two weeks that she is supposed to be with him. He is going to a job conference in Boston, as this conference he will get a better paying job and an advance so that he can move into an apartment that is a lot safer for Kimberly. Lucas won't need any money where he is going.
It was Friday and Tommy was walking Kim to her father's place.
"Beautiful, don't forget. Rocky and I will be here at 10 tomorrow. So be ready." He said smiling.
Kim smiled and went inside the empty shack. Saturday, she woke up around 8 and went to make herself breakfast. She ate whatever she could find, which wasn't much. In the middle of breakfast, the power went out. No, it wasn't a power failure; Lucas hadn't paid the electricity bill. Kim didn't think twice about it, she knew where she could get candles and matches. Kim placed the lit candle on the table and finished her breakfast.
After she was done eating, she went to get dressed. She was just about to blow out the candle, when the roof started to cave in. Kim tried to get out, but she was knocked down by the falling debris. Kim was buried under the debris from the neck down; she was unable to move at all. The debris had also knocked the candle off the table, this started a fire not to far from where Kim laid.
Kim looked at the clock on the wall; the time read 9:50. Tommy and Rocky wouldn't be there for another 10 minutes.
"Guys please hurry." Kim said to her self.
The fire started slow and then started to burn faster and closer to Kim. Kim was scared as she saw the fire come closer and felt the heat of the flames. She hoped and prayed that her friends would get there in time to save her. For Kim a minute seemed like a year as she waited to be rescued.
Tommy and Rocky were walking up the street. Tommy saw the fire and took off running, Rocky couldn't understand as to why Tommy was running but followed him anyway. Straight ahead of them Rocky saw the yellow and orange flames.
"Kimberly! Where are you?" Tommy called.
Kim heard their voices and started to call back to them. Tommy and Rocky looked at each other; they knew she was in the fire. Rocky spotted a hose and hose down Tommy and himself. To prevent from getting badly burned. Tommy and Rocky ran into the shack, they saw Kim buried under all the debris and the fire was close and starting to burn the debris that was on top of Kim. Rocky squirted the water at the fire and it went out. However, it did take a while to unbury Kimberly.
"Beautiful, are you okay?" Tommy asked.
"I think so." Kim said trying to get up, but couldn't.
Tommy carried Kim to the hospital.
Peter and Tommy's father Patrick saw Tommy bring Kimberly through the door. Kim and Tommy were both soaked and Tommy had some light burn marks on his hands and face. Kim was almost completely out of it.
"Thomas, what on earth happened to you two?" Patrick asked.
