A Gentle Trap Ch 3

A Gentle Trap Ch 3
  1. 3

When the fire trucks arrived, Dad rushed up

He headed straight for Annabelle’s apartment

I looked at Mom, fire reflecting in her eyes

く 

Lily, who do you think your dad will save 

first?” 

I didn’t answer

She already knew the answer

Neighbors stood at a distance, watching

gossiping

About half an hour later, firefighters started 

carrying people out

Mom and I stood and watched

Then, we heard a firefighter shout

Chief’s still inside!” 

Mom squeezed my hand

A few minutes later, three firefighters brought 

them out, the whole family

Someone said, That must be his wife and 

niece. Chief cares about them

Too bad, the fire got them pretty good

Chief got pinned by a beam. Lucky he got 

them out.” 

I stared at them, hate burning inside

So, he could save people. Last time, he just 

gave up on Mom

Then, a neighbor gasped

く 

She pointed at Annabelle and Cindy. Hey

that’s not Lily and her mom!” 

The firefighters panicked

Someone’s still inside? Chief’s wife and 

daughter are still inside?” 

The neighbor nodded, upset, and two 

firefighters started to run back in

But Dad, wincing, grabbed their legs

He said, Don’t, don’t go. Too dangerous

I don’t want any more casualties.” 

Mom’s hand shook in mine
