Fire Meet Gasoline

Chapter Nineteen

"She's moving in with you." I tell Gabby and she looks at Matt. They were learnt up against the wall beside my bunk.

"Is she?" Gabby says and looks at Matt.

"We live with him, so yeah, I guess we are." Matt says and I sigh.

"So two members of coffee club are traitors." I mutter and look at them before laughing.

"I'm joking. If you made his life difficult though, that would really make mine better." I say and Sylvie laughs.

"The worst thing is, she wasn't a stripper and she seems nice. I can't hate her, but I definitely hate Kelly. Our friendship isn't even salvageable at this point. Good riddance." I say and shake my head.

"Shall we change the name of this club to let's bash on Kelly, because that's all your doing." Matt says and I roll my eyes.

"Sorry Lieutenant, next time he fucks you over don't come crying to me." Gabby laughs a little.

"Oh believe me, I'm the one he'll be crying to." She says and Matt pretends to be offended.

"Ambulance 61. Truck 81. Squad 3. Single car accident." The tannoy sounds and we all jump up from the bunk and make our way out to the apparatus floor.

We pull up on scene, and I notice a car upside down in a ditch beside the road.

"Damn." I say and we climb out, grabbing our bags and a guerney.

Gabby jumps down into the ditch, to check on the driver. The car is smoking slightly and then it bursts into flames.

Herrmann quickly entinguidhes the flames.

"We're gonna have to cut her out from the bottom." Matt says before he and Kelly start ordering their men to get different pieces of equipment.

I jump down into the ditch, and crouch down, crawling towards the smashed windscreen.

"Hi, Allison, right? I'm Len." I say to her.

I notice she has a cut on her head, and she's panicking.

"Hey, I know it's loud, but that sound is normal. I promise. Just breathe Allison, they'll get you out." I tell her and she starts screaming.

"No.. No! I smell gas!" She yells.

I see a liquid leaking down, and I quickly slide out from under the car.

"Casey! Severide! It's filling with petrol!" I yell.

"Yeah, we know. Keep going, keep going." Casey says to his men.

They manage to open up the back window, and Sylvie jumps down with a backboard, and we slide her onto it, and get her out.

Capp, Tony, Herrmann and Otis carry the backboard back to the ambo, and we climb up from the ditch, before loading Allison into the ambo.

I stroll back into the common room, and notice Otis and Casey lurking in the corner.

"What you doing?" I ask.

"You want in?" Otis says.

"On what?" I look between the pair of them.

"How long you got?" Otis says.

"On what?" Matt asks.

"Til Severide's marriage flames out." Otis says and I can't help but laugh.

"Don't be a dick." Matt says and turns his back.

"Okay, if you don't want in on the action..." Otis says, and shrugs.
