"Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us."

"Someone fill me in!! What's happening?!!" Sullivan shouted through the station.

Everyone was already come from the barn to the entrance area where the radio was.

"Chief, AidCar was stolen while Andy and Jack were in there helping a patient." Travis said faster he could.

"Who is on the radio?"

"Jack."

Sullivan took the radio from Travis's hand.

"Gibson, what's going on?" Where is Herrera?!" The fear filled his voice.

"I escaped the second I could and I'm hiding but Andy couldn't escape." Jack said whispering.

"You telling me you left her alone??!!" Sullivan shouted and everyone startled.

"Chief, I had to. She told me to go and find help. What am I supposed to do?" He said whispering again.

"Stayed and help her get out too. Huh!!? You didn't think about that?!!" Sullivan shouted loudly.

"Chief, chief." Ben tapped him on shoulder.

"This is not the way." Vic said.

"Right, right." He threw the radio and started pacing back and forth.

Ben took the radio and continued to talk to Jack. Police was called in already and the team couldn't do much. Sullivan suddenly disappeared and Vic went to find him. He was outside of the station sitting on the stairs. Vic slowly sat next to him.

"There is not much that we can do from this point." She patted his shoulder.

Sullivan's eyes got watery and he brushed a few tears that escaped.

"I... I just hate when I'm helpless especially... ugh..."

"When it's her?" Vic looked at him.

He just nodded, wasn't able to say anything.

"I gotta go!" Sullivan jumped and took the car.

He put station out of service. Called Ripley to meet him at the scene.

What he saw there got him shocked.

Two men lying down dead. Once police officer injured. The medic's helping Jack and the injured police office. Everyone stood there frozen trying to see where is Andy.

"Chief! Chief!" The police officer came.

"One firefighter is badly injured."

"Female?" Ripley asked because Sullivan was not moving.

"Yes." Police officer said and gave him more details.

"Let's go!" Ripley said and got Sullivan to the car.

On the way to the hospital Robert's mind was gone crazy. Thankfully he was alone and he didn't need to hide his tears and anger. What he was feeling for this woman was beyond friendship. He knew that the minute he spoke to her at the bar. He kept repeating that night in his head. Their dance and little convos they had after that night.

Arriving at the hospital they couldn't get more information. The whole team was already there including Jack.

Sullivan looked at him for a few seconds and when he wanted to say something he just waved with his hand.
