The end of the Beginning

Chapter 17

"Lisa, Lisa" Vic whispered as the rubble crushed her, making it hard for her to breath. All she could think about was Ripley, he must be worried sick, he's standing right outside, he watched the building fall. "V" is all Annalise managed to get out, wheezing as she pulled the pole off of her chest. "Annalise, stop you might cause more damage" Vic whispered to her, still crushed. "Victoria, I'll worry about myself" she stated standing up holding her chest, still wheezing. "Now I'm going to go get you help okay" she explained trying to find her radio.

Ripley stood outside Pacing back and forth, he couldn't be obvious that he was worried because he couldn't risk anyone finding out about him and Toria but he was so scared, all he wanted to do was run into that building and find her. "W-we are in the back right hand side of the building, Hughes is crushed but still responsive, I can't move the rubble myself" he heard over the radio. He couldn't breath, she, the love of his life was at risk. He needed to help her but he couldn't even speak. He took a deep breath and pretended it was just another victim. "Gibson, Miller there is a back entrance, try get in from there" he commanded.

"Vic, help is coming, stay with me" Annalise explained, Vic was getting paler by the second, her breathing getting more shallow. "Hey, Annie listen to me, everything is going to be okay. You are going to be fine" "but what about...." Vic started... "chief, chief, I need help now, starting cpr" CPR?! Ripley thought, Vic needs help now. He grabbed his gear and started running towards the building "Ripley, what on Earth are you doing?!" Frankel shouted towards him, but he just ignored her and continued running. He needed to save Victoria.

He found a side entrance into the building and made his way through the rubble towards the back right hand side, "Hughes, Villa" he shouted as he got closer, "here" Annalise shouted still finding it hard to take a full breath. Ripley ran towards them, Annalise doing cpr on Vic almost crushed him. He helped Annalise pull the fallen building off of Vic and dragged her outside as quickly as possible, when they got outside they started compressions and shocking her. "We have a rhythm" Montgomery explained as he started to breath again, he was also worried about Vic, she was the closest friend he had.

Vic started to wake up a few minutes later, "Luke" she whispered, as she opened her eyes. "I'm here Toria" he replied, gripping her hand, "I'm always here". "Is Annie okay?" "I am" Annalise said coming towards the pair, "I'm glad your okay Annie", "I need to go to the hospital" Victoria started to panic, "we will take you soon", "no I need to go now!" She shouted, standing up, Ripley held her down, pushing her back onto the seat, "why Toria?", "because I'm pregnant..."
