Riah POV

I'm here at the fire station just waiting on the alarm to sound off. I really had a great time at the military ball with my daddy. I forgot how much fun it is to be around him. Montana never liked to be around him because he lecturers him a lot. I'm just glad he invited me. So many soldiers tried to get me to dance with them all night. I met this one female soldier who was making me laugh the entire night. She was cool but she's not funny like my girlfriend Tommie gee. I giggled a little bit. It's 9:30 my shift started 30 minutes ago. 

"Hey fire fighter Lenn"

"Hey fire fighter Lenn"

"Hey firefighter Buckley"

"You're rolling with the night sheets tonight I see."

"Yes I gotta get my night hours in."

"I hear that, I heard about your first save. Congratulations."

"Thank you and it surely won't be my last:"

"Look at you. Ah go getter."

"Some like that." I was flipping through my magazine.

"Well if you need anything from around here to eat let me know, and I got you." Don't know if she's flirting or being nice.

"Thanks Buckley."

"Call me Sabrina." She walked away eating pretzels. Throwing them back into her mouth. I'm not calling her by her first name. I know that's a sign of disrespect. In the military and on the firefighters department.

I was done reading my magazine and I got bored. So I went into the game room turning on the Xbox to see if Tommie was online and to my surprise she was. But she was already in a game playing call of duty. I message her to hurry up playing cause I'm bored. She never wrote me back. She probably fell asleep on the game.

I started going through my Snapchat memories. At our old videos from us being in Chicago with my friends. The first alarm bells went off.

[A man is trapped in his vehicle on the train tracks and he is unconscious]
The dispatcher said over the intercom.

I put my phone in my locker and suited up. "Let's go 118" The night cap yelled. I slid down the pole and got in the truck. We were off to the train tracks. We got there and the car was right there on the tracks. Lenn, Jackson and Buckley get the saw. And cut him out of there. I grabbed a Saw putting my helmet on and the other crew members did the same.

We headed over to the car cutting the doors off. "Stop cutting and get out of the train way!" It was a train coming right for us.

"Dispatcher did they cut off the tracks this way that the car is on!"

"Yes cap it should have derailed to the other tracks."

"Well it didn't and our victim is still in the car unconscious!"
