CHAPTER SIX

Fire. Mariah's heart hammered against her rib cage as she fought her overwhelming panic.

At first she tried to battle down the flames, but her puny efforts only seemed to make matters worse. The blaze swished out from the piping that led from her stove, and licked ravenously at the old wood.

Soon the room was engulfed in smoke. Mariah choked and coughed, struggling to breathe. Grabbing what clothes she could, she staggered outside.

Air. Beautiful clean air filled her lungs. She sucked in a deep breath and immediately had a coughing fit. With no time to spare, she dragged in another lungful, then hurried back into the burning cabin for her purse and passport.

Blinded by the smoke, she fumbled about helplessly, seeking her important papers, plus the most precious item she owned, the little jade bear. She could not lose that to the fire. All at once her mind wouldn't function properly. Where, oh where, had she set her purse? And the bear—wasn't it on her nightstand?

"Mariah."

Someone yelled her name, but it sounded as if it had come from a great distance. She felt herself weakening, needing desperately to breathe. The smoke dulled her senses, but she refused to give up, refused to leave until she'd found the jade and her purse.

"Mariah!" Whoever sought her was much closer now. Her name came to her, sounding frantic and fearful.

"Here." How pitifully weak she felt. Not until she recognized a pair of men's shoes did she realize that she was on the floor.

"Dear God."
