LA FIRE

Chapter 3: A Second Hit

Athena yelled for officers to chase after the trucks. Rio's gang wouldn't go down without a fight though.

The officers didn't know that Rio's gang was armed with C-4 and hand grenades. One of the squad cars was blown up and sent flying. 

Rio's gang was set up all throughout the are so when they saw ambulances and squad cars trying to leave they followed them.

They planned on letting no one leave there alive. They threw two hand grenades at the ambulance and squad car. The ambulance rolled over and off the road into a tree. 

The ambulance flipped over in the process. Lucy and Hen were inside the ambulance. 

Hen woke up and there was a ringing in her ear. Lucy was still strapped into the gurney but still flat-lining. Hen unstrapped her and began compression's again. 

"Come on Lucy you can't die. Stay strong."

"Are you guys okay out there?" yelled Hen.

The two officers in the squad car didn't respond. A tear rolled down Hen's face as she continued compression's. 

The monitor started to slowly beep again which meant Lucy had a light pulse. Hen pulled the gurney out of the ambulance then took Lucy out. 

Only a minute after they got out the ambulance burst into flames. Hen ran over to the squad car to check on the two officers in case they were alive. 

There was gasoline spilling out of the car and the whole thing was a ticking time bomb.

Hen started to roll Lucy farther down the street away from the squad car. Seconds later the entire squad car blew up. 

The explosion was heard by the other officers at the scene. 

Back at the scene multiple grenades and bombs were being thrown out of the trucks.

Athena and Bobby took point on getting everyone out of there. Lopez was still in the warehouse when it blew up. 

Athena and a few other officers worked on helping everyone outside. Bobby, Buck, and Eddie worked on evacuating the rest of the building. 

If any more bombs were thrown then the entire building could collapse. Bobby knew the building wasn't stable but there was still officers inside. 

They pulled two people out of 25 who were still alive. Smitty and an officer from metro.

Rio's gang wasn't done just yet. They knew they were caught no matter what so they decided to go out with a 'Bang.'

All of the trucks were loaded with a bunch of C-4, so much it could take out a radius of 10-15 miles. 

The trucks planned on setting off the C-4 after driving into the warehouse. There were 5 trucks with C-4 meaning the explosion would be deadly to anyone on scene.

Bobby was still inside the warehouse with Buck and Eddie trying to free Lopez from a box that fell on her during the second hit.

Athena tried to radio Bobby inside to tell him to evacuate but there was still no signal. 

"BOBBY, GET OUT OF THERE NOW!"

Bobby could hear Athena screaming. He told Buck and Eddie they could leave if they wanted but he was staying.

"We're not leaving you captain." said Buck.

Eddie: "Yeah your not alone on this." 

Lopez was yelling in pain, tears rolling down her face.

"Just leave. You all have people to go back to that need you.." Angela said tearing up.

Bobby: "You have people that need you too, and we are not leaving you."

All three of them tried lifting the box. It didn't move.

"Just go. Just go. JUST GO!" said Angela in a full on breakdown now.

They tried again this time using all their strength. They were able to lift it up a little more this time.

Bobby ordered Buck to go grab another box so they could use it to hold the other one up.

The box was starting to slip and Buck came back just in time to put the other box under. 

After Lopez was free they had to carry her out.

The engine of the 5 trucks turned on and started on their path to ram into the warehouse. They began to speed up.

They lifted Lopez and began to run out of the warehouse.
