"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! This is ambo 67! We need police and ambulance backup to our current location, paramedic down!"

3 hours earlier:
Chase and Riley climb out of the ambulance having just returned from a call. Correction another call. Call number 9 to be precise. It's been one hell of a shift. Busy, slow and never ending and it's only halfway complete. The two medics restock the ambulance before heading into the common room. Riley slumps down in one of the chairs and places her head down on here arms that lay on the table, with a groan.
"You alright Riles?" Casey asks, sitting down next to her. She shakes her head.
"Yeah, I'm just super tired." She says standing up.
"Go sleep whilst you have the chance" Casey says. Riley nods before walking into the bunk area, alongside Chase. Their beds are next to each other's. They both flop down onto their beds with a sigh before trying to sleep. Just as they fall asleep the alarm sounds.
"Squad 3, Truck 81, Ambulances 61 and 67, building fire and the corner of westling and high court. Unknown trapped"
They both roll out of their beds and join everyone else, who are all running towards their vehicles.

When they arrive on scene they immediately get out and start helping people away from the building. They set up triage and start treating the most seriously injured. Truck and Squad head inside the building to start a search. After 1 hour, the building is clear and they fire is contained. Chase and Riley return the scene, having just taken a patient to Chicago med. They load up one of the last patients before speeding away to Chicago med. Arriving at the hospital, they unload the vic, before rushing them inside.
"23-year-old female. Severe smoke inhalation and minor burns to her arms. B/P 120/60, Pulse 110 and SATS 92 risen to 98 on 15 litres of O2." Riley Says, as they transfer the patient over the other bed. They leave the patient in the capable hands of Dr Choi before heading back out to the ambulance. They sit and complete all the necessary paper work before stripping the sheets on the bed. They go inside and swap the dirty sheets for some new ones and hand in a copy of the paper to the main desk before heading back out to the ambulance. They put on the sheets before heading back to 51. It's nearly been 3 hours since the building fire call out. Chase and Riley just want to go and sleep. As they pull into the driveway, a call comes across the radio.
"Main to Ambulance 67, are you available?"
"Ambulance 67 to main, go ahead." Riley replies, using the radio inside the ambulance.
"Man, down for unknown causes. (gives address)"
"Copy that main. This is ambulance 67 responding." The partners look at each other before pulling out of the driveway, switching the light and sirens on. They wave to squad as they return to 51, before pulling out onto the street and heading to the location of the call.

When they arrive at the location they get out and grab all their equipment and the gurney. They wheel everything over to the vic, who is laying on the ground, not moving.
"No pulse" Chase says, checking for a pulse.
"He's been dead for a while" Right as Chase says that, gun shots go off all around them. Chases dives over Riley and they crawl their way behind a nearby car.
"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! This is ambo 67! We need police and ambulance backup to our current location, paramedic down!" Riley scream into her radio.
"Chase? Chase look at me...you're gunna be okay" She says, tears in her eyes, as she presses down on Chases abdomen where he was hit multiple times by the flying bullets. He weakly smiles at her before lossing consciousness. Minutes later, sirens sound as a blue truck pulls up. Antonio and Ruzek come rushing over.
"Antonio!" Riley screams frantically.
"Riley, what happened?" He asks, putting his hands over hers, who are covered in Chases blood.
"I...we responded to this call. Man down, he's dead Antonio, has been for a while, and then bullets started flying. Chases dived over me."
He looks at her sympathetically as Ruzek radios for an ETA on the ambulance.
"Ambulance is 2 minutes out" Ruzek says, kneeling down next to them, gun raised.
"Oh, god! This is my fault. He dived in front of me"
"Hey Riley! Listen to me! This is not your fault. It looks like you two were targeted, okay? He protected you because he loves you. The ring on the chain around your neck proves that" Antonio says, refferring to her engagement ring she keeos on a around her neck whilst working .Trying to calm Riley down, Antonio keeps talking to Riley. Just then the ambulance pulls up and it's Dawson and Brett. They load him into the ambulance with the help of Antonio. Ruzek jumps into the drivers seat, as Brett and Dawson jump in with Chase. Antonio holds Riley back. The ambulance speeds off to Chicago med.
