9-1-1: The Family We Chose

S2 E13 - Fight or Flight

Buck's POV:

As I'm heading to Maddie's door to pick up Lia for her date, I see blood pooled on the ground. I run towards it and see Chim lying on the ground. Blood was covering his shirt, and spilling out.

"Chim!"

I stumble to the ground and unbutton his shirt. I saw that he had deep puncture wounds covering his stomach. I fumble to grab my phone and dial 911.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"I-I have an adult male with multiple stab wounds to his torso. I need medical and police response." I say as I press my jacket onto his stomach.

"Okay, sir, can I get your name?"

"Evan Buckley. I'm a firefighter with the 118."

"Buck? It's Josh."

"Josh, r-right. Maddie's friend."

I press harder on Chim's stomach as more blood just continues to spill out.

"It's Chimney who's the victim. He's got profuse bleeding to his abdomen and his breathing is labored. He might have a punctured lung." I say as I check his wounds further.

"Buck, just hang on. An RA unit is two minutes out. Do you know what happened and how long he was down?"

"I don't know, I don't know. I just came here to pick up Lia after she came here to help Maddie. But looking at the blood loss," I look around his body at the blood pooling. "maybe minutes. Definitely not hours."

"Jason..." I hear Chim mutter.

"H-hold on. He's, he's talking to me." I out my phone in speaker and place it on the ground. "Chim, it's me, Buck. You just need to hang on, okay?"

I grab his hand and squeeze it.

"Jason, he took her.. he took them." He whispers.

"Chimney, who's Jason?" I ask.

That's when it clicks in me. As I hear the sirens approaching, I get up and start to walk to the door.

"Maddie! Lia!"

No one says anything or comes out. I run back to Chim and kneel by his side again.

"Chimney, where are they. Where are they!?"

He doesn't say anything as his breathing starts to get heavy.

"Sir, we got him." Paramedics say as they come inside. 

I grab my phone and run back inside.

"Maddie! Lia!"

I see all of Maddie's stuff still inside. Her phone, her keys, and her bag. That's when I see Lia's phone as well.

"Josh, they're gone. H-He took them." I say into the phone.

"Buck, who's gone?"

"Maddie and Lia. He found her, and took Lia with them."

"Who found them?"

I pause before responding.

"Doug."

Lia's POV:

I groan as I feel myself waking up. I try to move, but my arms are zip tied behind my back. It's dark and cramped all around, and tape is covering my mouth.

My head is pounding, and the zip ties dig into my skin the more I move around. I start to panic and take deeper breathes. I start to tear up as I kick the walls around me.
