Chapter One
"Is anyone hurt? I didn't mean to hurt anyone." The man's
almond-shaped eyes were as black as coal with sparks
flickering in their dark depths. He clutched the front of Pete's
jacket and his soot-streaked face was close enough that his
breath brushed Pete's cheek. "I was trying to end it."
Despite the sweat drenching his hot body, a chill made the
hair on the fireman's nape rise. "Whoa, buddy. What are you
saying?"
"The fire; it was my fault."
Pete felt like all the air had been sucked from his body.
Was this a confession of arson from the man whose life he'd
just saved? He glanced at the organized chaos of the scene:
the pump crew still extinguishing the last of the flames while
other firefighters continued to search the damaged building
for survivors, the paramedics, the cops, the media; actually,
only a couple of reporters. Since the blaze had taken place in
an abandoned building, it was hardly newsworthy. Red lights
flashed and emergency beams illuminated the dark night,
reflecting off the pall of smoke shrouding the area.
"You saying you set this?"
The guy shook his head, long black hair falling over his
eyes. "It's not like that."
