We All Fall Down - Grieving
John & Will, with Ting have just met up with New York City Fire Fighters. Our prior knowledge makes us fully aware that as they go up and around the corner there death is sure and also moments away. As a reader we want John and Will to stop them.
The moment we realize that one of the firefighters is James father we understand that regardless if John, Will; and Ting get out there will still be great hardship and tragedy.
