Viviana held the baby close and shushed her. The baby thankfully got silent. Viviana knew that it is almost time for feeding the baby. Once she gets hungry, she won't stop screaming.

She winced unconsciously hearing the door unlocking. The one who opened it was firm and hurried. Viviana's heart began beating in her throat.
"Melanie, are you okay?"
Viviana let out a deep breath hearing the familiar voice. She patted her chest to compose herself.
Leander is safe! Leander is safe!
She could hear shouts of pain from outside. The men were shouting for help and asked them to call for an ambulance. She heard Steve shouting to transfer the men who were caught to a secured place before the cops arrive.
The smell around her didn't help. It took her to the Abenney fire. She froze. All the courage she managed to cook up till then disappeared the moment she heard Leander's voice.
