"If you're not essential, get clear" Bobby said making some of the red gear firefighter's back up, Chanel, Hen and Chim stayed around Jeff
"Ok. As soon as this thing inflates enough to pull him out, let's get him out of here" he said grabbing the button, "Ready, Jeff?" Chanel asked, the board was half under him so her and Chim would grab his arms and pull him on completely once his foot was free
"Yeah. But if things go wrong, leave me and save yourselves. This is my choice to try this" Jeff said looking at her, "All five of us are getting out of here"
"That's right, with all ten of our legs" Chim added, "Now, i gave you some morphine for the pain but when we move you it'll still hurt like hell. Are you sure you're ready?" Chanel looked at him
"Im ready" he nodded, Chanel got into position and crouched behind him, "Come on, we got this. Yeah, come on, we the champs. Yeah, we can do this, a'ight? Let's go. We the champs. heart of a champion" Jeff nodded hyping himself up
"We got this, we got this" Chim nodded holding the board steady as Chanel put her arms under Jeffs, "Heart of a champion. Let's do it!" he cheered
"All right. In three... two...one" Bobby let out a breath before inflating the airbag, Jeff groaning from the pressure, "He's not moving"
"All right. Cap. Cap, it's not gonna hold" Chim looked at him, "Just a little more" Bobby shook his head
"It's not gonna hold" Chim repeated, "Just a little more. Chanel, see if you can get him out"
"Hen, ready?" Chanel looked at her, once Hen nodded she carefully pushed his foot from under the debris and Chanel quickly pulled him away and onto the board
"I got him! I got him!" she yelled putting the breathing mask over his face before securing his head, "Get me the dual grade!"
"Heart of a champion, Jeff. You're doing great" Chanel said as Hen clicked him into place on the boat, "Good job, champ"
"Ok, let's get him up. On three" Chanel called out as they lifted him, "Easy, easy."
"You're doing great, champ" Chim assured him as they walked over to the wood makeshift bridge, "Easy, easy" Chanel said as Jeff groaned when they began to carefully pull jeff over the wood and onto the other side
"Hang in there, Jeff!" Hen called out, "Chim, follow"
"All right, Trauma, he's coming your way, make sure he keeps that leg" Bobby said, him and Hen crossing the makeshift bridge
Chanel crawled halfway onto the bridge only for her flashlight to fall, she groaned leaning down and grabbing it only to stop and see a kid's show
"Kat?" she called out, "Kat!"
"That is her shoe" Bobby confirmed, "Her parents said she was on her way to the restroom when the quake hit"
"Restrooms are cleared, Cap"
"She could be anywhere. She probably hid under something when the earthquake hit... maybe she's stuck under something... maybe trapped and alive" Chanel let out a breath looking around
"Let's get USAR back in here with thermal cams." Bobby said over the mic, "Kat! Kat!" Chanel called out
"Here kitty kitty" Chim called out making them look at him, "What? What if it's an actual cat"
"Please shut up"
"Grab onto something!" Bobby yelled as an aftershock began to hit, "Get back! Chanel, fall back! Chanel!"
Chanel screamed when the floor she was sat on caved and she fell, "Oh, my god" she muttered as something fell on her
"Chanel!"
"Chanel!" they all yelled at once, "Chanel! Chanel!"
"Chanel, do you copy? This is Captain Nash for Chanel Nash, do you copy?" Bobby said into the walkie-talkies
"Cap, i think i got a visual. There's a pocket, probably four feet" Chim called out, "Cant see her, though. Chanel. Nel, can you hear me!"
"Captain"
"Yeah?" Bobby turned around, "We've locked in on her GPS" he said making Bobby walk over to him, "Let me see"
"There's been no movement"
"Ok, Chim, Hen, it looks like she's about three meters deep over there. Inside that pancaked section of the garage" Bobby called out, "If we do this wrong, we rick bringing the rest of this down on top of her" Hen looked at him
"So we go slow. But not too slow. She's in there"
"Roger that" Chim nodded slowly moving debris out of the way
"Ladder 118, respond. This is Captain Nash. I need a head count"
"Ladder 118 responding. Diaz, Buckley, we're good, Cap.
"Castillo and Jackson responding"
"Paulson, Marcus and Riley responding"
"Chimney and Hen responding"
"Chanel, do you copy? Chanel? This is Captain Nash for Chanel Nash. Do you copy?"
"Is that a friend of yours?" the girl Buck and Eddie rescued as looking between them, "Let's keep moving" Eddie said seeing Buck's face
"Is this a fucking car?" Chanel muttered once she found her flashlight, she groaned trying to sit up but she was stuck, she grabbed her raido, "Bobby? Chim? Hen? Anyone?"
"Oh, of course id get stuck between a car!" she groaned turning on her side, "Anyone in here! Hello?" she called out hearing someone coughing
She groaned in pain as she pulled her leg from under something before crawling over to the dude groaning only to see it was another firefighter from 221, "Far from home, i see. 221"
"I-it's Russ" he groaned, "Chanel. 118. Do you have your raido? Mine's broke"
"I dont have one. All radios were issued out. It's not my shift" he said making her mouth drop, "So, you come in on your day off and get stuck?"
"Yeah. Nothing new on Netflix"
"Mm, maybe try Hulu? They got some good things" she said looking at the pillar that was crushing him, "Think i could move it?"
"No way" he groaned in pain, she ignored him and used her chisel to try and move it, "Ok, uh, there's cars everywhere, there's gotta be a jack" she said moving over to the cars
"Dont waste your strength or your time" he groaned, "We're both gonna get out of here"
"Im not. Fractured pelvis, flail chest, even i couldn't save me, and.. you dont know me, but im good"
"And you dont know me. Look, we're both gonna get out of here even if i gotta drag you, ok? Then ill take you to the hospital i work at and personally take care of you and show you good shows on Hulu" she said going through cars
