'We're heading right into the firestorm!" Jackshouted over the noise.



'We have to keep going," Annie shouted back,"before the tree house catches fire!"At the bottom of the hill, thick smoke was rollingthrough the street. It made Jack's eyes burn.



"Where's the tree house?" he shouted. "Here!" saidAnnie.



Jack followed her voice.



She was holding on to the rope ladder.



"It's still here!" Jack said with relief.



"Of course. The tree house wouldn't leave withoutus," said Annie.



"Don't you--""Go! Go!" said Jack.
