Tristan sat up slowly and took Mikey from her, he looked over at her. Kennedy's hair was black from the soot and her face was covered with ash.
"Thank you," He said. Tristan kissed the top of Mikey's head and held him tight.
"Where's Nancy?"

With that, Kennedy ran to the end of the fire escape and started to violently vomit. After a couple of seconds, she couldn't anymore and tried to hold back to dry heaves.
"You didn't smell it?" she asked, shaking again as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "Oh god, the smell!" She started to cry -- she'd never forget it.

Tristan had known, he just didn't think it was possible...he had tried to ignore it. The back room...they'd locked the door.
Tristan stood up and walked over to her, he rested his hand on her shoulder and then turned her around to him, hugging her. He sighed heavily.
He knew this wasnt over though. He had to find Spot now.

Kennedy cried into Tristan's shirt, holding onto his sleeves tightly.
"I couldn't get in!" she sobbed. "I tried and tried!" In fact, in the back of Kennedy's mind she knew her shoulder was dislocated. "I'm too fucking little!"

Meanwhile....Nevada thought everyone was dead and was sitting on the ground with her face in her hands.

"And I was too late," He whispered and held her close. "It's okay...you saved my son though," Tristan said looking down at her, he gently lifted her chin. "You saved the most important person in my entire world."
"Now we should get off this thing and get back on the ground okay?"

Kennedy nodded, wiping her eyes; it only made her face dirtier.
She went to the opposite side of the fire escape and kicked the emergency ladder loose. It shot down to the ground with a gratifying CLANG.

"You first, I'm right behind you." Tristan watched her clamor her way down and Tristan followed behind, one handed, holding Mikey with the other arm. Where he'd been burnt began to throb, but he had no time for that.
"Take him," Tristan said, "Is there somewhere safe you can take him and Nevada?" He asked quickly.

"M-My house?" Kennedy sputtered, wincing under Mikey's weight. She shifted him over to one arm. "Why? Tristan, don't---"

"Okay good, take him and Nevada there." Tristan said. "Kennedy this is important. This is just one shitty thing that's happened, there will be a lot more and I have to tell Spot right now. Nevada's out there," He pointed to the front of the building, "Find her, tell her I'm alright." He could see the mounting fear in her eyes.
"I'll be fine, I promise."

"She don't wanna see me!" she cried out. "Mikey don't wanna see me! He jus' lost his mama and they both want you!" She sighed, looking down at the baby for a moment. A hint of a smile came onto her face. "......Just don't be long, okay?"

"I'll try not to." He kissed her forehead and then kissed Mikey's. Tristan really didn't want to leave him either, but he knew he'd never forgive himself if he didn't. He ran off toward Irving Hall.

Kennedy's thoughts were still a mess -- or more so than usual. She turned around in a full circle before remembering which direction Nevada was in. She stumbled off towards the street. She spotted Nevada easily and limped her way over to her, holding onto Mikey protectively.

Nevada looked up as Kennedy approach. She slowly and shakily stood up, a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
'where is he?' she asked, assuming Kennedy would know the he she was referring to

"He's fine. He's-He's fine," she repeated. "He wants me to take the three of us somewhere safe -- meet up later." She hoped Nevada wouldn't ask many questions, because she didn't think she'd know any of the answers.
