The beginning part 1

“Hey barbie, wake up” I clenched my eyes and stretched my arms and feet as my buddy Roger gave me a soft slap to my face to wake me up. As soon as he saw my eyes open, he immediately grabbed his boots, suit and helmet to get ready.

“You must hurry now, Max. Our Captain is already waiting for us on the truck. There is an ongoing fire at the south side of Riverpunk. We must go there quickly.”

I sat on the edge of my bed, still staring at Roger, waiting for my senses to come back. Roger noticed that I was still out of my consciousness, so he went on me again, this time opening his palm widely and swiping it to my back which brought me to my senses. I stood up, trying to touch the spot to help ease the heat on my skin. Roger made a loud laugh at me while I was still in pain. "You're awake now hahahaha!" Hurry up and get your gear". I tried to chase him down to give him my revenge for what he did, but he ran and slid down to our emergency pole to ditch my vengeance.

I rush and gather my gears as I can already hear my Captain's voice calling our name. I slid down to the pole and dashed to our truck to prepare for the emergency that needed to be attended to. I was pounded on the head before I could hoop in on the truck. When I look at who made that hit, it was my Captain. "Max, you're sleeping again! You're such a baby! We're not here to sleep and relax! We are here to help in an emergency!”. As soon as I hopped on the truck, my Captain made a sharp glance in the truck's rear view mirror to look at me. I can feel the sharpness on his eyes and the grip of his hands on the truck’s steering wheel. I just told myself “Oh god, please protect me from the fire and from this man”.
