[Chapter 323: The Big Action]

The wind howled as Hawke stood on the rooftop, using binoculars to scan the northern horizon.
"What's going on?" Erica asked as she approached him.
Hawke handed her the binoculars. "In Malibu, Santa Monica, and the Hollywood Hills, there are serious wildfires erupting at dawn, and the flames are spreading toward residential areas."
Erica lifted the binoculars and saw smoke billowing in the distance, turning the sky gray. The north wind carried a charred smell into Santa Monica.
