The commotion startled both Porter and Lucus, especially Lucus, who was frightened like a koala, tightly clinging to Porter's body and staring at the kitchen in horror.
Porter also stood up immediately, holding Lucus.
Thick smoke began to pour out of the kitchen.
Porter was about to go to the kitchen to see what was going on, when the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.
The next second, Annie Lawrence came running out with a pale face and a terrified expression.
Before Porter could ask her what had happened, she screamed and ran behind him, grabbed his clothes, and said in panic, "Fire, there's a fire in the kitchen, the kitchen is burning!"
Her touch made Porter feel extremely uncomfortable.
Porter was about to push her away when he heard the news, his face immediately changed: "What, there's a fire in the kitchen?"
Annie nodded, still unable to calm down from the shock: "Such a big fire. Hurry, call someone to put it out!"
