Chapter 5

By the time they had found Sakura, she was a mess. Her hair was matted and her face stained with tears at what she had witnessed. Jiraiya felt sorry for her and was even hurt by what was going on in her life.

"Miss Haruno, I'm here to take you to Konoha Orphanage," he notified as he helped her stand up from the dirty alley floor she was sitting on. She was shivering as the misty sleet fell from the swirling grey clouds above her head. The ride back in the cruiser was silent apart from the occasional sniffle from the pinkette in the back of the car. The heater had been turned up to near full and a Styrofoam cup of hot chocolate pressed between her fragile hands. Jiraiya sighed once more as he glanced at the tired looking girl from his rear-view mirror.

Gravel crunched under the tires of the cruiser as it pulled up to the large house. At the door stood Cassie with a frown sporting her features and her arms crossed over her chest. Like a zombie, Sakura walked up to the door, not noticing the brunette until she was pulled into a hug. Things went by pretty quickly after that. Sakura was shown to her room that she was to share with Cassie, Moegi and Hinata. A bed by the door had been made up for her, a light pastel pink quilt cover adorning the duvet along with a darker pink bed-sheet and white pillows. Cassie sighed and sat next to the pinkette on the bed.

"Look," she started, gaining Sakura's attention, "I'm not going to bombard you with clichés, I have no idea what it feels like to lose someone so precious to me so I won't lecture you on that but what I will say is this: It's not the end of the World. I know it may sound crazy to you but, if you give it a try, you can avenge them. That's what everyone here is doing," Sakura looked up to Cassie in surprise.

"Everyone here is fighting for something they love, or avenging something they've lost. Naruto for the world he's lost; the twins to protect one another; Gary, well, I know for a fact that he has something personal with Orochimaru from a young age; Shikamaru even has something worth fighting for although he's never shown anything other than the fact he thinks the world is troublesome. We all have our reasons for doing this. Why don't you join?" she asked, looking the pinkette in the eyes. Sakura had stayed quiet during the speech before finally, the words took effect.

"What about you?" she asked, curiosity nibbling at her senses. Cassie sighed and smiled towards the girl.

"I'm just having fun with life!" she laughed. Sea foam green eyes widened at the girl's confession before sliding back to normal.

"So, I could avenge my parents?" she asked quietly. Cassie sighed once more and smiled.

"Yeah. Then we can really teach Orochimaru that he's just one giant PMSing bitch!" she giggled. Sakura couldn't help but join in with the laughter this time, especially when Cassie fell onto the floor with a thud.

The bruises were the first things to appear. The rapid swelling of blood under skin was too noticeable at that point and so they had no option but to do it. Sasori was trying to remain calm as the blood level rose in his companion and started to flood from pale lips. A splat landed on the computer monitor as Deidara coughed up some more blood. Red mixed with blonde and wormed its way under manicured fingers.

"Dammit Sasori! Get your ass over here and help!" she screamed, rummaging around in her desk drawers. The redhead nodded but just as he was about to walk away and help, a crash reverberated around the halls as the tall blond fell off the chair, further damaging himself. That's when he started to wretch. After a few moments of dry-heaving, blood started to pour from his mouth and spread around under the desk. Red seeped into the sunset orange bag that was shoved under an office wheelie chair. A small syringe caught hazy blue eyes as his two counterparts ran to help him. Another wretch withdrew more blood and he was starting to lose his vision. If he didn't point out the syringe soon, he'd be dead within 60 seconds and counting. As he shakily pointed towards the orange bag, the blonde became aware of what the other was getting at. Hazel eyes widened as the owner remembered the syringe that was in her bag. Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled it out and stabbed it into the blonde's arm, sedating him. His arms felt shaky as he tried to get a grip on the slippery red surface. All he could manage was a weak smile before he passed out.

Sasori glanced at the frail form on the bed. Deidara had been asleep ever since the incident two days ago and Juura was sure he wouldn't wake up if his current stats were anything to go by. In all of his years of working under Orochimaru, Sasori had never hated the man as much as he had now. His biggest annoyance-turned-best-friend was lying comatose on a bed because of the fact one small test subject escaped. Not to mention that the snake-bastard had sent out a team of mercenaries to destroy the family too. Juura entered the room to see the redhead just laying his head on the light blue sheets. She sighed and rubbed her hand across her face.

"Sasori? I'm going out for a bit. Don't destroy anything when I'm gone, okay?" she tried to joke. Her humour was lost on the man as he just gazed at the still form on the bed. She sighed before grabbing her car keys from the pot by her front door. It was sleeting when she stepped outside into the now December air. Her breath rose in spirals as she made her way to the sleek black 1967 Chevrolet Impala that was parked at the end of her driveway. Crisp leather seats were cold to the touch as she entered but soon warmed up as the heating kicked in and the V8 engine started her journey. Tired of the consistent silence as she drove down the road, she pushed in a cassette tape and sighed in relief as the familiar sounds of Led Zeppelin were aroused from the speaker system. There was only one destination in mind for the blonde because damn it, she needed answers! The drug that Deidara had been injected with was a prototype at best, just a bunch of chemicals that had been thrown together by a mad person with a fetish for world domination. A set of red lights forced her to stop on her journey and she leant on her window and looked out only to see a woman being harassed by two men in their late fifties. Sighing once more, she wound down her window and withdrew two small knives from her bag. Hell, they were only small steak ones that she'd snagged from a restaurant a few nights ago but they'd do the trick nonetheless. Just as one of them was going to make a move on the woman, Juura flicked her wrist and the cutlery caught between his shoulders and he fell to the ground, twitching. His companion looked over to see Juura in the car, smiling and waving at him. Cowardice struck his heart and he dashed away, leaving his companion at the side of the road. The woman just looked at her before smiling in appreciation. Juura nodded before a beeping behind her alerted her to the fact the light was now in fact green.

The rest of the journey was uneventful and as she pulled up to the large building, a sense of nostalgia washed over her being. Deciding she had stalled long enough, Juura walked up to the door and smacked it heavily three times. She noticed the cruiser and groaned.

'Great, He's here.' She mentally complained. Briefly, she toyed with the idea of dragging her keys across the paintwork but thought better of it when the green eyed redhead from before answered the door. He leant on the frame.

"Well hey there hot stuff. I knew you'd be back for more. I'm just irresistib-"

"You have one second to shut up before I personally castrate you with the spare steak knife I currently have in my bag," she told him blankly. All trace of cockiness was lost at that statement and Juura just face-palmed before looking over his shoulder.

"Look, I really need to speak with Tsunade, so if you could please move your tiny ass, I'd be eternally grateful," she drawled. Kaoru glared at her before stepping aside. Before she had completely walked out of ear shot, Juura smirked at the comment she'd heard.

"I don't have a tiny ass!" Kaoru grumbled before closing the door and walking back into the living room where everyone was currently seated. Juura just continued to where she knew Tsunade's office was. She knocked three times before entering.

"What is it Juura?" Tsunade asked as she looked over a folder of Sakura's medical history. The young adult sat in the vacant chair opposite the busty blonde.

"Deidara was injected with chemicals a couple of nights ago. I need the counter chemicals," she told the elder. Dusty golden eyes looked into hazel for a minute before going back down to the medical records.

"I'll need a list of all the chemicals that were found in the substance before I can do anything," she told the younger. Before anything else was said, a piece of paper was thrust under the nose of the woman at the desk and she eyed it wearily before nodding.

"Orochimaru is a bastard, that's for sure," she muttered as she progressed down the list, writing the counter chemicals next to each one and the required dosage. After five minutes, she handed over the piece of paper to the one opposite her. Juura nodded her thanks and left the room. She was about to leave through the front door when she saw something that piqued her interest. The blue eyed blond whom the prissy had been insulting was walking down the hall as if entranced by something. Slyly, Juura started to follow him. He led her unknowingly down various corridors until he stopped. Juura, not noticing this, walked straight into his back and tripped over him. Naruto snapped out of his daze as he saw the blonde on top of him. That's when he screamed, alerting the whole orphanage to his predicament.

Sasuke was the first to arrive on scene and wrapping his arms protectively around the blond male.

"What the fuck?" he yelled at Juura, unable to face the fact that Naruto had been stalked by someone he didn't know that well.

"Mind your language little brother," came the deep voice of Itachi from the door the boys had been standing by. Sasuke growled slightly and unconsciously pulled the blonde further into his chest, almost as if he wanted him to be one with his shirt.

"Teme, I can't breathe!" Naruto gasped after two minutes of Juura and Sasuke doing nothing but glaring. Onyx eyes widened as he realised that he was indeed suffocating the poor blond. Juura smirked at the two before turning on her heel.

"Well, I'm sure you two have plans. I'll be off," she said innocently, whistling a small tune and spinning her car keys around her fingers. She smirked. Those two really were idiots.

As Sasuke and Naruto made their way back to the lounge, the former started to wonder about why the blonde was smirking before walking off. Sure he had been acting protective of Naruto lately, but that didn't mean anything. If anything, it was completely natural after he'd learned that Naruto was linked to him but not via family means...if that made sense. It also happened to be his last day in the orphanage today before Itachi, Kakashi and he had to go back to their small cottage retreat in the country. As Kakashi had emphasised last night, they had overstayed their welcome and were soon to get going. The thought of leaving Naruto behind made his chest ache with an unfamiliar feeling; this was definitely new to him- trusting someone other than family. He had yet to actually tell Naruto that he was leaving in less than three hours. Speaking of Naruto...

"Hey Sasuke, what are you doing?" he asked in shock as he was pulled by his wrist down a random corridor. Sasuke smirked as Naruto was pulled along further, taking him down lefts and rights until eventually the two came to a small room Naruto knew to be the music room.

"Sasuke, what are we doing here?" Naruto asked, genuinely confused.

"I wanted to get away from everyone," he replied simply. Naruto frowned and shifted his weight to his other foot.

"Then why am I here if you wanted to get away?" he asked once more, tilting his head in confusion. Sasuke's smirk grew as he stepped closer to the blond. Naruto swallowed slightly as he drew closer, a light pink dusting his scarred cheeks. He stepped back. Sasuke stepped forward. Another step back. It continued until Naruto felt his back hit the wall next to the piano. He flinched slightly as Sasuke peered down at him.

"Dobe," he whispered. Naruto looked up, determination brimming in blue irises.

"Teme! What do you want?" he yelled back, this time stepping closer. Sasuke took a moment to think about that. What did he want? He was pretty certain that he liked the blond in more than the friendship way. Was he just teasing Naruto in this moment? What was the point of all this stepping? He sighed and stepped back.

"I'm leaving in a few hours dobe." He told the blond. He hadn't expected Naruto's reaction, but when it came, he was stunned.

A slap to the face.

The resounding 'SLAP' echoed a bit due to the room's acoustics and Sasuke found himself clutching his cheek and staring at Naruto with disbelieving eyes.

"YOU BASTARD!" Okay, maybe Naruto had overreacted-

"I HATE YOU!" maybe Sasuke should calm him down.

"WHAT THE HELL, MAN? WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?" Okay, he didn't expect that quote...

"WHY WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE?" he sounded a bit hurt underneath that yell. He swung his fist round for another hit to Sasuke's face but he found his hand caught within the raven's much larger one.

"TEME LET ME GO!" he yelled, trying to get free. Sasuke just shook his head and used his hold on the blond to pull him flush against his chest.

"Why are you so upset, Naruto?" he purred at the smaller boy in his arms. Naruto flushed a beautiful shade of magenta at that.

"I'm not!" he responded, trying to pull himself away from Sasuke and avoiding all eye contact. Confused by this, Sasuke tried to get a look at the blonde's face but was shocked when it was turned away from him.

"Let me go!" Naruto persisted, although a bit more weakly this time. In surprise, Sasuke let go of the fist he was holding and the blond fled from the room. Not knowing what else to do, Sasuke gave chase.

Naruto only had one destination in mind where he could go to sort himself out. He could hear Sasuke following him through the corridors so decided to take a sharp right before opening a random door and shutting himself in. Silently, he tried to catch his breath before looking around at the room he was in. He heard the calls of Sasuke in the near distance but he couldn't be distracted with small issues like that at the moment.

'But is it a small issue?' a voice in his head asked. Naruto jumped at his thoughts before looking back around the room.

'It's not a big issue!' he reasoned, before seeing how crazy it was, responding to a small voice in his head. It was just his overactive imagination. The room was dusty with heavy curtains that hung from 30cm from the ceiling and pooled by the door that led out onto a balcony. The cream paint was peeling on the walls and all of the furniture was covered by white sheets.

'If it's not a big issue then why are you crying?' the voice asked. Almost as if on instinct, he felt his cheeks just to confirm yes, he had been crying. Wiping any thoughts of Sasuke from his mind, he swept his jumper sleeve over his cheeks to remove the wetness.

"Fucking teme; leaving us alone in this; going home to his fancy house to eat his fancy tuna!" Naruto grumbled as he peered around the room and under the white sheets. A snort sounded from behind him resulting in Naruto almost giving himself whiplash.

"Sasuke doesn't like tuna Naruto-kun," in the doorway stood Itachi, arms folded, leaning against the frame.

"Well either way, he's abandoning us," Naruto grumbled, feeling a stinging behind his eyes once more. Itachi sighed and entered the room. He glanced around, onyx eyes surveying everything. Beneath one sheet was a baby's cradle containing a nine tailed fox plush doll. Itachi smiled when he picked it up and showed it to Naruto.

"Y'know, Naruto, Sasuke doesn't mean to be a heartless bastard-" a snort interrupted that statement and Itachi smirked.

"Well, not a huge one anyway- but he seems genuinely concerned for you. I'm guessing if he had a choice, he'd stay here. However, we need to return to our base to get some work done regarding Orochimaru." He explained. He walked closer to the blond and flicked him on the forehead. A look of concern flashed across blue eyes.

"But what if something bad happens and we're not all there to help. What if you get attacked by Orochimaru and his men! What if-"

"I think, you're thinking about too many hypothetical questions." He replied with a gentle smile. Naruto looked to the ground, trying to fight the tears.

"I don't think of too many hypotheticals!" he protested with a slight tone of humour to his voice. Itachi smirked and handed the plushie to Naruto who stroked the ears nostalgically.

"Silly boy, 'hypotheticals' isn't a word," he smirked before walking out of the room, leaving Naruto to think about everything that had been said to him.

He returned downstairs 30 minutes later, a bit saner than he had been when entering the unknown room. Sasuke was no-where to be seen in the room but Kamari was looking worried.

"Hey Naruto, have you seen Kaoru?" he asked. Naruto blanched. That was weird.

"No, sorry Kam. Maybe he's gone exploring in the house?" he suggested. Kamari shook his head.

"No, we know every inch of this house and I've checked every centimetre. I can't find him!" he stressed, looking around as though Kaoru would magically appear from thin air.

"Maybe he's gone to the shops," Shikamaru suggested, yawning loudly and turning over on the sofa. Sai smiled.

"He did say something about going out. Gary's with him too," he told the smaller redhead whose turquoise eyes held a hint of sadness in them.

"Oh, okay," he replied, walking off to his room dejectedly. His twin had never gone off without telling him before.

Naruto noticed the strange behaviour but decided not to dwell for too long.

"Hey guys, where's Sasuke?" he asked. But of course, Sai had to attack with a comment.

"Naruto, Sasuke likes dicks but you, however, don't have one. Why are you pining?" he asked, changing the TV channel to a cartoon with a stork and a racoon who was currently 'Hamboning'- at least it sounded like that's what it was called- a massive monster, on the moon. His attention turned back to Sai.

"What is it with you and my penis? I'm very well endowed! It's all there! I'm a man damn it!" he yelled, shaking his fist at the pale raven who was still smiling.

"NARUTO!" said blond flinched when his name was yelled from behind him. He turned around and came face to face with Sasuke.

"S-Sasuke?" he asked, looking like a doe caught in the headlights. Angry onyx stared into scared blue and for a moment, the two were suspended in time...until Sai decided to help...with an elbow to Naruto's back. The blond stumbled forward, causing his lips to press into the ones of the raven who was currently glaring at him. Angry morphed into confused and scared morphed into anxious as the raven pressed his lips against the blonde's with more force. The small 'eep' was lost as Sasuke brushed his tongue across the blonde's bottom lip, asking for entrance. That small movement caused the blond to pull away and bolt from the room, hand over his mouth. Sai looked a little lost before pulling out a book.

"But I was so sure he liked you! Everything in this book indicated it!" he stressed, flicking through the pages to see what could possibly have gone wrong. His eyes widened when he fell on a particular section. He looked up to see Sasuke frozen on the spot.

"Sasuke, you don't suppose that was Naruto's first kiss do you?" Chouji asked, sipping on a juice box. Shikamaru sighed.

"Of course it was, didn't you see that blush. He has no idea what's going on!" Shikamaru responded. Sasuke was just stood there, fingers on his lips before everything finally caught up with him.

"I stole his first kiss," he muttered. Konohamaru chose that moment to walk in.

"Anyone know why Naruto-nii is trying to drown himself in the pond?" he asked casually, tapping away at his DS buttons. Sasuke's eyes widened at the statement and he bolted from the room to outside where he saw Naruto just staring into the pond in which three little ducks were swimming in. Sasuke sighed in relief. He was going to kill Konohamaru later for making him worry so much. That's when it hit him. Despite the alliance they had with the orphanage, after today, they wouldn't be seeing much of one another- possibly not at all until the day that they decided to finally raid Orochimaru's 'palace' and kill the bastard himself- but even then, that would be business and no screw-ups and distractions were allowed. They could be fatal at that point. The raven could now see why Naruto was so pissed. He approached the blonde and stood next to him as he stared at the ducks, not wanting to break the oh-so-rare silence that surrounded the blond. The two stood there for what felt like hours before a light shivering overtook the blonde. Sasuke glanced at him and realised that he was just wearing a black short sleeve t-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans. The raven sighed at the blonde's- what he would call stupidity, but this wasn't the right time to insult him- and took off his jacket to place it over Naruto's shoulders. Naruto turned to him, confused before sighing and pulling it tighter around his body.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" he muttered, looking down at the frost covered grass. Sasuke sighed and looked towards the smaller boy.

"I'm...sorry, Naruto," he replied. Blonde tresses swung as he shook his head.

"Don't...just, go away." He muttered, looking away from the raven haired teen. Not one to be bossed around, Sasuke just stood there and wrapped his arms around Naruto's shoulders. Blue glared into amused onyx as he just squeezed the shoulders tighter.

"Dobe," he muttered affectionately. Naruto huffed.

"I'm trying to be angry at you teme," he replied. Sasuke smirked.

"And how's that going for you?" he replied cockily. Naruto smirked in return.

"Terribly!" he countered with a huge smile on his face. Sasuke rolled his eyes but tensed when he heard his brother call him from the house.

"Sasuke, time to get going!" he yelled, already stood at the front door with Kakashi who was exchanging numbers with Iruka with a slight blush on his cheeks. A slight panic overtook the blond as he watched Sasuke retreat away towards a van that had pulled up. A man was sitting in the front, skin tinted blue and pushing in a cassette tape. He was drumming to a beat and looked over to see Sasuke and Naruto together. He waved to them and Naruto shyly waved back whilst Sasuke flipped him the bird. This caused mixed reactions. Kisame feigned hurt; Naruto hit Sasuke on the arm whilst Itachi just reprimanded his brother's 'language' from afar. Kakashi was still busy with Iruka.

"Bye then," Naruto muttered, taking off Sasuke's jacket and handing it to him. Sasuke just smirked and pushed it back to the blonde.

"You need it more than I do, dobe," he smirked. Naruto flushed and grumbled before slipping it back on. Sasuke smiled gently and reached down to peck Naruto on the lips.

"I'll see you soon," he muttered, leaving Naruto shocked at the fact his now first and second kiss had been stolen by someone he'd only known for about a week. The van swerved out of the drive, leaving the orphanage behind in its rear-view mirrors.

Once again, for what felt like the thousandth time that day, Naruto sighed. The stars above him winked as he stalked down the road, money for milk in his hand. He still couldn't get the feeling of Sasuke's tongue on his lower lip off his mind, even though it had happened about ten hours ago. It forced Naruto to realise something: he had a crush on Sasuke Uchiha. Whilst he had come to this astounding revelation, he had missed the eyes that had followed his movements into the corner shop. He looked around for a bit at the sweets, knowing full well that should he spend the change, Iruka would go mad at him. He sighed and picked up the carton of milk and approached the counter. Behind it resided a very bored-looking person. Their hair was tied up into four blonde spiky pig-tails and she was fanning herself, despite the cold weather as the heating was turned up really high.

"That'll be a quid," she told him, holding out her hand. Naruto placed the pound coin into her hand and was just about to leave when she called him back.

"Oi, kid, what's your name?" she asked, frowning. Naruto swallowed.

"N-Naruto," he stuttered. The girl smiled and held out her hand.

"The name's Temari. I see you come in often only usually when you do, you see my brother Kankuro," she explained. Naruto shook the girl's hand and she smiled before pulling him in closer.

"Watch your back," she muttered before smiling once more and waving him out. Naruto frowned at the strange warning but nevertheless waved back and exited the shop. By the time he had gotten the milk, it had started to snow quite heavily. Not wanting to be stuck in the blizzard, Naruto cut down a side alley to avoid the onslaught of snow. Just as he was about to exit, a man with glasses approached him and smiled. His hair was tied back, stopping it from whipping around his face.

"Hi there Naruto-kun!" he smiled. Naruto frowned, not too sure on how the man knew his name. Just before he could think, the man pulled out a rag and shoved it into Naruto's face.

"I'm doing an investigation. Can you tell me, does this cloth smell of chloroform to you?" he asked. Naruto leant forward and took a sniff but just as he did, it was clamped over his mouth and nose. That's when he blacked out.

Kabuto sighed at the boy's idiocy as he dragged him to the van that was waiting around the corner. If he was honest, he felt that it was a bit too easy for him to capture the blond. Now he had to radio in the next order. It was a shame that it had to happen really but it was a nuisance to Orochimaru and so it had to be done.

"This is Kilo-Alpha-Bravo-Uniform-Tango-Oscar calling in for the strike to be played. I repeat, strike, turkey, split." He relayed in code. The voice on the other end chuckled.

"Nice radioing skills there Kabuto. Honestly, this is useless. It's not as if anything else bad can happen after this. Kabuto chuckled.

"It is such a shame though. Oh well. Call it in." He relayed.

"Roger that," the voice replied. The sound of explosions could be heard all over the city and no-one could miss the fireball that erupted from a place near the edge of town where everyone knew Konoha Orphanage to be. Not even a raven haired teen by the name of Sasuke Uchiha could continue with what he was doing as the phone rang and he answered it, only to be met with panicked yelling.

His heart sank when he heard the yells of Cassie saying something he couldn't bear to hear.

"We can't find Naruto!" she'd yelled. The receiver dropped to the floor and Sasuke sank to his knees. Kakashi and Itachi walked in to see Sasuke shaking. Itachi was instantly by his brother's side and Kakashi was on the phone trying to calm down a sobbing Iruka. Itachi rubbed his brother's arms as he sat, shivering on the floor, panic and fear laced in his eyes.

"Naruto!" he choked out, tears then springing to his eyes. Itachi's own widened at the broken sound in his brother's voice.

At the orphanage, everything was in disarray. The rubble was burning around them as everyone frantically tried to escape the burning shrapnel. Kamari was searching around desperately for his brother whilst Cassie was ripping bricks apart searching for Gary. Konohamaru was sobbing whilst holding onto Iruka for support. Moegi, Hinata, Neji, Kiba and Udon were sitting down by his feet, unable to believe what had happened. Kamari had tears pouring down his face.

"KAORU!" he yelled out, still searching the rubble for his brother.

"No, no, no!" he moaned as he continued to come up empty handed. Cassie was in her own dilemma, not knowing what she should do.

"DAMN IT!" she screamed as she ran over to Kamari to help him search in that area. A shuffling of bricks caught their attention and they shakily made their way over to the small pile where the two boys were laying; Kaoru with a broken arm and Gary coughing up a small amount of blood.

"Shit!" Kamari cursed as he tried lifting his brother.

"Kao, are you okay? Talk to me!" he insisted as his brother started to stir in his arms. A small sigh of relief escaped his lips but Cassie was beyond relieved.

"Hang in there Gary, I'll get Tsunade. TSUNADE!" she yelled over her shoulder. The woman who had previously been occupied with sorting out Sai's burns hobbled over to where Gary and Kaoru were laying. She whistled over her shoulder and Iruka and Jiraiya appeared to help carry the two boys across and lay them down on the cool damp grass where the snow had started to lay. Kaoru was bleeding slightly, staining the snow a dark crimson as he was placed upon it. Gary was in a worse shape, struggling to keep his eyes open as he was laid in the snow. He was shaking slightly, convulsing as the fire department and ambulance services arrived.
