Jak didn't know how to react when he hugged her. For one, she'd never seen this kid before, and for another, the fire was larger than she'd expected here. She had to remain calm to solve this. From experience she knew the firemen would take at least twenty minutes to show up, and the way the fire was spreading, it would reach the houses before long. "Okay." she covered her mouth and nose with her hand, trying to prevent the smoke from making her pass out. "That's a lot of fire."

[i]Think. We have to get out of this. Where would the best way to get out of the heart of the blaze be located?[/i] she scanned the area then saw one tent that hadn't yet fallen over. The material was on fire, but it provided an open escape from the burning fire just beyond. Squinting to keep the smoke out of her eyes, she tried to see past the dark cloud of smoke, but couldn't. "Well, there's a way out that way, but we'll have to go through burning tent, but if we do it's likely we;ll get out of here quicker. So, come on. We've got to move before the fire gets worse and our exit collapses."
