When he arrived the scene was chaotic. Mrs. Mills was crying, along with Aubrey and a woman he hadn’t met who was holding an adolescent boy.
Cisco ran by him. He grabbed Cisco, “How is Johnny? What happened?”
Bear and Brian came in the door. Brian came over to him immediately. “It was a fire in the chimney. I told him to get the chimney cleaned. He must have forgotten with all the drama.”
“How do you know?” Caden asked, as if Brian could have prevented the fire.
Bear snapped. “Brian has a bit of pre cog. He told Johnny to get the chimneys cleaned. He must have forgotten.”
Caden turned to Cisco. “How is he?”
“Second degree burns on the neck and torso, suffering from smoke inhalation. They got him out in time. They’re treating him now.”
“Can I see him?” Caden was jumping out of his skin. He had to beg people for what should have been his right if he hadn’t thrown it away.
