Honey, say something! Tell me where you are!
I’m trapped… In my bedroom… There’s no way out…
Don't worry, babe. I'm coming to get you. Stay on the line with me and I'll guide you through. Can you see any exits from where you are?
No… All the windows are closed shut and there’s no door…
Alright, babe. I'm going to try and find a way to reach you. Stay calm and stay on the line with me, okay? I'm not leaving you. Can you move around?
Yes… But why would I want to do that…?
You need to move away from the window and find a spot with less smoke. The smoke will make it harder for me to find you. Can you see any lights?
I can’t… See anything… It’s pitch black…
Okay, babe, I'm going to send someone in with a flashlight. They'll try to locate you and guide you to safety. Just stay low to the ground and stay calm.
Okay… I trust you… Just hurry… Please…
(Grayson's team member enters the room with a flashlight, scanning the area for any signs of Griffin.
Coughs harshly, feeling the heat from the fire This way... over here...
(Grayson's team member follows the sound of Griffin's coughing and guides Griffin towards a safe exit.
grabs the hand of the team member Okay, I'm ready. Let's get out of here.
Grayson rushes towards Griffin and pulls him into a tight embrace You're safe now, babe. We made it out together.

Grayson holds Griffin tightly, his voice filled with relief You're safe now, baby. I'll never let anything happen to you. We'll get through this together.
hugs back, choking back tears Thank you... thank you so much...
Grayson cups Griffin's face and kisses him passionately I love you, Griffin. And I'll always be here to protect you.
wipes tears, trying to smile I love you too, Grayson... You saved us...
Grayson looks into Griffin's eyes, his expression filled with determination We may have escaped this fire, but I won't rest until I find out who caused it.
coughs I don't care about that right now... let's just get out of here... and... and get some fresh air...
Grayson takes Griffin's hand and leads him outside, away from the burning building. They stand together, breathing in the cool night air, their bodies still trembling from the fear and adrenaline.
pulls a cigarette out of my pocket and lights it. Taking a long drag before exhaling the smoke Shit, that was too close...
Grayson gently takes the cigarette from Griffin's hand and throws it to the ground, stomping on it Griffin, we need to talk about your smoking.
squints at him, annoyed Now is not the time, Grayson...
Grayson grabs Griffin's shoulders firmly Griffin, I know it's not the perfect time, but this almost cost us our lives.
It cost us nothing but a few minutes, babe... grins slightly Besides, we're not dead yet, are we?
Grayson's grip tightens on Griffin's shoulders, his voice filled with frustration Griffin, I can't stand seeing you put yourself in danger like this!
smirks Easy tiger, Grayson... My job isn't exactly safe...
Grayson releases his grip on Griffin's shoulders, his expression softening I know, baby. But that doesn't mean we have to live life on the edge.
looks away, sighs Fine... I'll quit...
Grayson pulls Griffin into a tight hug, his voice filled with love and concern Thank you, Griffin. I promise, we'll get through this together.
smiles softly, clinging to Grayson I know, babe... We always do...
Grayson wipes away a tear from Griffin's cheek, his voice filled with warmth You're my everything, Griffin. I can't imagine my life without you.
