Lights and Sirens

An Emotional Incident

Jason walked out of the to see Dawson kneeling on the floor crying. 

"Gabby?" Jason asked.

Gabby turned around to see him. She stood up and shouted "you have no idea what you have done Jason!"

"well let me put it right!" he said kindly as he put his hands on Gabby's shoulders.

"Jason you have done enough!" she replied stepping away from him. 

*TRUCK 81 SQUAD 3 AMBULANCE 61*

Dawson took one last look at Jason and then turned around and jogged down the hall and out to the Ambulance, Jason following after her. When the trucks turned up to the fire everyone jumped out. Casey and the rest of truck jumped out, throwing on their breathing tanks just as squad pulled up. 

Gabby and Brett walked round to stand next to Chief as he was yelling out orders.

Casey and his team were all ready to go in. Before Casey ran in to the burning house Gabby called out. "Matt! be careful!"

Matt just turned around to face her and gave her a sad and disappointed look before he ran into the fire. Dawson felt the baby kick and then a pit in her stomach opened up. She felt sick and incredibly guilty even though it wasn't technically her fault. Gabby knew that Matt was Hot-Headed but he was the most loyal, caring and protective person that she had ever met. She loved him more than anything and she wasn't prepared to loose him. 

"We are bringing out a victim. Possible broken arm and definite smoke inhalation. Get Brett to prep air and the Med bag" Casey demanded over the radio moments before Herrmann came running out with a teenage boy in his arms. 

"Get him on the board!" Gabby demanded.

Brett started to work on him. The boy was breathing but not steadily. He was unconscious and Brett had decided to tube him. Then all of a sudden the radio crackled. The whole team all tried to make out what was said. Then Dawson realised that Casey and Severide were still in the building.

"We're trapped chief!" Casey yelled through the radio. "we need the aerial raised to the north west window. Third Floor!"

Cruz bounded up the ladder on to the podium floor and carefully manoeuvred the aerial round to the window. Casey and Severide were ready and waiting at the window and were gesturing to Cruz to hurry up. They knew that they didn't have much time before the building flashed. The guys were looking up worriedly, watching as the actions unfolded. Finally the ladder reached the window and Kelly was the first to climb out, Casey stared to follow him. Suddenly the building exploded and Casey lost his grip on the ladder and he started to fall. Time seemed to slow down and Dawson felt like she had been stabbed as a wave of panic went through her. Casey then felt someone grip his fire coat and he looked up to see Kelly was holding him tightly, not wanting to let his friend fall to his death.

"I got'cha buddy!" Severide yelled over the raw of the flames "Not gunna let you go!"

Severide helped Casey swing himself over the bars of the ladder and up to safety. They both sat there for a moment as they caught their breath just as everyone on the ground was recovering from the drama.

"You've always got my six" Casey stated, still trying to catch is breath.

"That's what we do" Kelly said tapping Matt on the shoulder before starting to climb quickly down the ladder, Casey following behind him.

When they both got down from the ladder they were swarmed by the rest of the house. They were congratulating them and telling them how relieved they were to see that they were both ok. Dawson jogged over to the rest of the group, her hand on her bump to stop it from moving to much. She ran up to Matt.

"Im so happy that your ok!" she said as she moved her arm up to touch Matt's shoulder but he took a step back.

"Yea, im good" he said quietly then turning round and walking back to the truck. He glared at Jason as he walked past. The whole Firehouse looking confused as he walked away from his girlfriend.

Brett ran after Gabby as she made her way back to the Ambo.

"Hey! Gabs, what's going on with you and Casey?" She said placing her hand on her shoulder.

Gabby turned around.

"Oh, its nothing, dont worry about it!" Gabby said before she turned back around and got into the Ambo.
