Weeeoooeee-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

I pulled my thin nightgown over my knees and wrapped my arms around them, shivering against the wind.

My head turned instinctively toward the distant wail of the siren. Dropping my head against my folded arms, I couldn't decide whether to even hold out any hope that it was a coincidence.

Resignation set in with the rising decibels of the weeeoooeee-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo. I looked over my shoulder at the distinctive drawn-out honk to see a freaking ladder truck turning onto my street with lights flashing.

Great.

The truck pulled up to the curb, and I noticed he brought the whole crew.

Even better.

The fucker grabbed the bullhorn and walked as close to the roofline as he could while still being able to see me.

"Isabella Marie, what the hell are you doing…"

"Emmett," I warned through gritted teeth, definitely loud enough for him to hear.

"First, just to be official, are you going to jump?"

"No! The stupid freaking window closed." I pointed to the dormer to my room. "I couldn't get back in!"

His entire crew was laughing. "Then what the hell are you doing on the roof, little cuz?"

"There was a squirrel. I thought it was hurt." I shook the shoe box that I'd brought out with me to transport him to the vet.

"Uh-huh. And where is this squirrel?" he boomed through the bullhorn.

"He fucking ran off and jumped in the damn tree!" I waved at the stupid freaking tree. "Can you just get me down? I'm fucking freezing up here!"

"Watch your language, missy!"

"Really, Em? You're the one who taught me these words when we were kids!"

He brought the bullhorn back to his mouth, but I cut him off. "Don't you dare, Emmett Dale McCarty! I can hear you just fine." I stomped my foot.

His shoulders shook with his deep laugh. "Alright, I'll stop. I have a newb on the truck. I'll send him up for you. He could use the practice."

"Thank you."

Emmett glanced at me, then the truck and back to me before turning to the truck and snapping the bullhorn back to his lips. "CULLEN!"

Thanks for letting me flash you! I wouldn't mind a review. js

As always, thanks to GeekyChic12 and Maxandmo for their awesomeness. They're both flashing too, go read them if you're not already. (But you probably are because they're awesome. )
