Romans & histoires Fire Upper East Side Today

ETHAN I was in a meeting when my assistant knocked on the door. "Mr. Hoss, I'm sorry to interrupt. There's breaking news you should see." She handed me her tablet. “BREAKING: Explosion at Upper East Side Residential Building. Car Bomb Suspected.” I read the headline, irritated at the interruption. "Why does this concern me?" "The building address, sir. 740 Park Avenue." My stomach dropped. That was Vanessa Latham's building. I took the tablet, reading quickly.

Turning on his television, Xavier listened to the morning’s bleak newscast as he prepared for his morning rounds. A local restaurant has burned to the ground, and two humans and one werewolf have died after a firefight broke out late last night near Highland Park.

Although Roy acted a little reluctant, he still sent Alice the footage a few days later. That night, Alice opened her laptop and began to watch the video. She looked carefully and tentatively at every detail on the screen. The fire broke out around 11:30 in the morning. At that time, all the juniors and senior managers were having a meeting in the conference room on the second floor. Since it was lunchtime, many people were walking around in the kitchen. So, Alice didn’t notice anything wrong for a while.

I was busy noting down everything when suddenly news flashed on TV screen perked my ears, I would have easily ignored it but the news mention something about wild fire in ‘Mardonesee Forest’, this was same forest where my summer house was situated. I froze in my seat starring at wild fire engulfing forest turning everything into ashes, fire fighters were busy pouring water splashed from helicopters mode, while NYPD and media were standing at bay live broadcasting. “How dreadful this looks” my step mother mummer taking bite of her toast “How can a forest catch fire in such a windy season?” Alex questioned while I watched everything in horror.

I made my way downstairs and walked towards Jonathan and Luca who were currently bickering about something. "What's going on?" Jonathan turned towards me and spoke, "Matteo thank God you're here, the club, there's a fire." I closed my eyes and inhaled, this couldn't be a coincidence. Opening my eyes, I spoke slowly, "What do you mean the club is on fire? And both of you pick your next words very fucking carefully." Jonathan continued by saying, "We aren't sure, we just got a call from the staff, it looks like a gas leakage when they turned on the lights... well."

DANELLE'S POV Spending time with Elizabeth yesterday was awful and a pure torture..I couldn't believe I had cancelled my plans with Anushka just to go to some stupid mall..And it didn't help that everywhere we went in that mall ,people wanted to take pictures of us ,it was so fucking exhausting really.. I wasn't even surprised this morning when I switched to news channels and found out that I was the hot topic..There were pictures of me and Elizabeth that were obviously taken yesterday at the mall on the screen and already assuming that me and Elizabeth were together..

People would start throwing garbage at me when I went out for a drive. Having overheard the phone call, Vivian knew that I had picked someone up at the airport. I grinned. Tapping on a social media app, I pulled up the chat box with Koben. “Where’s my boy? Your old man needs you, and it’s serious.” Koben wrote back right away. “Call me Daddy.” Vivian gave me a funny look. I held myself together and texted, “Buzz off.” Koben showed up outside my apartment, swagger and all, in under fifteen minutes.

*Friday | 2:17am | Phone Call* Elena was asleep for the first time in days when her phone screamed. Maya’s voice was shaking. Maya said, “Elena. Carter Manufacturing Plant 7 in Newark is on fire.” Elena sat up. Elena said, “Is anyone hurt?” Maya said, “They’re still counting Ma." "Cause?" Maya said, “Arson. They found evidence.

"He'll come for whoever has the money. You just have the file." "In this town, it’s the same thing." "Drop it at the factory. Then you're out." "Nobody’s out, Lina." She hung up. Cody walked to the lobby. It smelled of wet pavement. Captain Harris came out of the break room with a cup. He looked tired. "Fletcher. You’re late." "Forgot my coat, Captain." Harris looked at Cody’s suit. "You're wearing one." "The heavy one. For the rain." "Right. The rain." Harris took a sip. "Archive building burned. Arson. The East District is a mess."

“I will meet up with you at your place?” “No, I am busy.” “Busy with what?” “I have things to do.” “What things? You have just landed.” As promised Brenda phones me. “Afternoon Brenda.” “Afternoon Miss James. We have a problem here at the agency.” “What's wrong Brenda?” “The BDSM room caught fire.” “I will be there in half an hour.” I turn to Joshua barely containing my laughter. “There is a problem at The Summit Club. There was a fire.” “Since when did you become a firefighter?”
