Baron, feeling a bit uneasy under her intense gaze, cleared his throat, crouched down, and asked, "Hey there, little one, what's up?"

Jessie flashed him a bright smile. "Sir you're amazing! You put out the fire!"

"Sir, you're all amazing! You put out the fire! You're our heroes!"

He glanced over at Braden, grinning. "See that? They called me a hero."

Braden's face remained expressionless.
