"Argh!" Came the cry as Rick passed the cellar door.
"Hello?" He asked as he went to the door. "Who's in there? Are you ok?" Rick asked before he went inside. He coughed due to the dust around and it took a moment for his eyes to adjust. "Elektra? Elektra, is that you?" Rick as he saw her pinned under a metal beam. "Elektra?" Rick moved closer and saw that she had her eyes closed.

"Oh no. Elektra? Elektra, it's Rick, can you hear me? Elektra?" Ricked called. Then, he saw her leg. It was bent at an angle and there was blood around it. Rick was about to head back up to get Mike or Gina when the metal frame groaned above him. "No. It's going to come down. Elektra. Elektra, wake up! I need you to wake up!" Rick shouted as he shook her a little.
"Urgh..."
"Elektra?"
"Hmn... what's happening?"
"It's Rick. You're trapped and you've broken your leg."
"What...?"
"Can you move?"
"Urgh... No... arh! Argh!" Elektra cried out as she tried to move.
"Ok, ok," Rick said before he looked around. He found something to make a splint before coming back over to Elektra. The frame was groaning more and Rick got to work on splinting Elektra's leg.
"Argh! ARGH! What are you doing?!"
"Splinting, I need to get you out of here."
"GARGH!"
"Sorry Elektra. I'm done."
"Done what?" Elektra asked as Rick finished the splint and came back over to her.
"Look at me."
"I can't move..."
"You can," Rick insisted and Elektra opened her eyes. "I need to get you out of here."
"How?"
"I'm going to lift this, but I need you to move."
"...ok?"
"Ready?"
"No," Elektra said as she sat up a little and got her arms ready. "Argh. Argh! My leg, my leg..."
"I know, but if you don't move now, it won't just be your leg that's broken. On 3. 1, 2, 3," Rick said before he lifted the metal bar just enough for Elektra to pull herself out from underneath it.
"ARG!" Elektra screamed as she pulled herself out and Rick dropped the metal bar.
"Are you... ok?" He panted.
"Yeah," Elektra said and the structure groaned, about to collapse.
"Let's go," Rick said and he helped Elektra to stand. They hobbled out of the cellar, Elektra in agony as they climbed the stairs.

As they opened the door, there was an almighty crash and everyone came running to them.
"What was that!"
"Rick? Elektra?"
"Hi," Elektra said with a wave before she fell unconscious in Rick's arms.
"She was trapped under a metal bar. Someone help me."
"I've got her," Mike said and they lowered Elektra to the ground.
"What happened?"
"The metal frame in the cellar started to collapse. Elektra was trapped underneath it and she'd broken her leg. I had to splint it and get her out. She would have been killed otherwise."
"That crash?"
"The metal frame coming down. Her leg's broken, we need an ambulance."
"I'm already on it."
"Are you hurt Rick?"
"I don't think so."
"What about your wrist? It's turning purple."
"And it looks like you've hit your head."
"Oh yeah," Rick said as he looked at his wrist. "I'll go to the hospital with Elektra."
"Good idea," Mike said and they waited for the ambulance.
