"FIREFIGHTER DOWN.FIREFIGHTER DOWN.IT'S OTIS...OVER HERE IT'S OTIS"
Firefighters rush over, hassling about the fallen firefighter. In unisons, with a heave, he is picked up and rushed outside to the mass of ambulances.
"FIREFIGHTER DOWN.FIREFIGHTER DOWN"
He is placed on the laid out gurney. His turnouts and uniform being cut off and replaced by heart pads and an IV line. The Chief's face fills with sorrow. Sirens blare and firefighters scream to each other.
"Come on Cruz, you can ride along with us to med."
"We'll be right behind you. Everyone pack up. Let's go, let's go, let's go."
"Come on Otis, you're going to be okay. You're going to be okay. Be strong brother, be strong."
Voices echo and boom as they enter the crowded ED of Chicago Med.

Joe walks into the room with steady pace. His face is hit with a hot flush and it hits him. His best friend is going to die in Trauma Bay 2. God, how did they get here. Things were perfect merely 4 hours ago and now. Now this.
"Hey brother, it's me, Joe. You're, uh, you're going to a better place. Yeah. I'll meet you up there one day. Save a place for me? "
He sits down, face in hands, pleading for a miracle, wishing upon a star. Crying and crying and crying before something happens. Could it be a miracle?
