Best Friend To The Very End

One Minute

Severides radio buzzed as they were packing up from their last call.
'Squad 3. MVA persons trapped. The intersection of Stoney Island and South Chicago Ave
'Squad 3 responding' Severide replied into the radio
'That's near Firehouse 18' Tony questioned
'Would be better if 18 was still open' Cruz added
'It was gonna happen eventually' Severide said as he got in the squad truck

Squad headed to the corner of Stoney Island and South Chicago Ave, a bad intersection at the best of times, made worse with the recent weather. The area had already been blocked off by the police
'What happened?' Kelly asked Roman as he got out of the squad truck
'T-Bone, The black SUV was involved in a pursuit and ran a stop sign t-boning the Rav-4'
'Occupants?' Kelly asked
'Single occupant in the SUV, he stuck but he's ok. Mother and daughter in the RAV-4. The moms OK, Daughter not so much, her side took the impact, she's still trapped'
Kelly looked over at the mangled wreck. Jimmy and Brett were attending to the trapped girl through the driver's side of the car. He started getting the tools out of the began to walk over to Kelly with Erin.
'Would be good if 18 was still open' He said before he turned around to see Erin with him 'Since when do they assign intelligence to car accidents?'
'Chief Boden called me' She replied
'Tony you take over' Boden ordered 'Kelly we need to talk'
'Why. What's going on?' He questioned
'Come on' Erin said trying to walk him away from the accident before he would realise
Kelly looked past Erin back at the mangled cars. He looked closer, and then he realised.
'No' He said to himself 'Hannah! Katherine!' He yelled trying to run towards the accident
'Kelly stop' Boden said trying to hold him back
'Please tell me it's not them' Kelly begged 'Please'
'I'm sorry Kelly' Erin replied
'Katherines OK, she's getting checked over by Ambo 32' Boden explained
'And Hannah?' He asked
'Jimmy and Brett are working their hardest, she's awake. But right now they just need to focus on getting her out'
'I wanna see Katherine' Kelly said
'Sure' Lindsay replied as she and Severide walked over to Ambo 32
'Kelly' Katherine called out as she ran over to him
'Katherine' He replied hugging her
'Is Hannah gonna be ok?' She asked
'Brett and Borrelli are trying their hardest' He replied
'This is all my fault' Katherine cried
'No it's not' He replied
'She was hounding me all morning to let her drive, she wouldn't be in this situation if I just said yes'
'You don't know that' Kelly replied 'Everythings gonna be OK, I promise'
'You just make sure our girls gonna be ok'
'I will' He said walking over to the truck
'Kelly stop' Boden demanded
Kelly looked at Boden. He looked him in the eyes
'Please'
Boden thought for a second
'Alright but Tony's still in charge. You answer to him, Casey and I or you're out of here. Nothing stupid'
'And jeopardise my daughter's life?' He questioned as he walked over to the accident
Boden and Kelly began to walk over to the accident
'Cheif?' Casey questioned as they walked over
'It's ok Matt' He replied

'How is she?' Brett asked Jimmy as she handed him some more gauze.
'She's hanging in there' He replied 'She's got a compound fracture to her right arm'
'I'll get a splint' Brett said running back to the Ambo
Hannah moaned
'Hey Han' Borelli said 'Can you open your eyes for me?'
'Dad' She moaned, slowly opening her eyes
'He's here' Jimmy replied 'Do you remember what happened?'
'There were sirens' She replied
'What about what day it is?' He said shining a torch in her eyes
'Saturday' She replied 'And you still owe me $10'
'That's the Hannah I know' He laughed 'But I don't think it counts when you're the call out'
'Where's mom' Hannah said looking at the driver's seat where Jimmy was.
'She's alright, she got out. Just a few cuts and bruises'
Hannah flinched as she tried to move
'Stay still for me Han, Just until we get you out'
'How long will that take' Hannah said slowly drifting off
'How long do you think your dad will take Han' Jimmy asked
Hannah didn't reply
'Come on Han, stay awake for me'
'I'm tired' She replied
'I know you are, but I need you to try and stay awake, promise me?'
'Promise' Hannah mumbled
'Borelli!' Boden called out 'How is she?'
Jimmy got out of the car leaving Brett with Hannah
'She's conscious, just. Her GCS is 10'
'What's her condition?'
'She's drifting in and out, There's weakness in her left arm and her pupils sluggish'
'You just try your hardest'
'Will do chief' Jimmy replied 'Do you really think it's a good idea for Kelly to be here'
'You just let me worry about Kelly'

'Hey guys, separate the two vehicles we'll pull them both out at the same time alright' Kelly ordered as he walked over the Squad truck
Capp pulled the winch out from the front of the squad and hooked it to the rear of the Black SUV.
'Tony get ready on that winch' Kelly ordered
Casey watched and looked around at what was going on, thinking.
'Wait, wait. Hold on' He yelled 'We move this car first he could be paralysed or worse'
'The longer Han's pinned in, the wor-'
'-I know' Casey cut in
Severide looked at him. Everyone was silent
'Your call' Severide replied, remembering what chief said and knowing arguing with Casey wouldn't help his daughter
'Guys I don't care what decision you make but just hurry up, she's getting worse' Borelli yelled out
'Herrmann, Dawson get the jaws' Casey ordered
'Lieutenant, with all due respect it's Hannah we're talking about' Dawson added
'Were getting him out first' Casey replied
'You heard him, Dawson, move it' Herrmann ordered, running towards Truck
'Capp, Tony. We're gonna cut the roof posts off so we can get Hannah out as soon as the cars out of the way'
'Copy that Lieutenant' Capp replied

'How's she going?' Borelli asked Brett as he went back to the car
'Not good, She's not responding anymore' Brett explained
'Their gonna get the guy out of the SUV then cut Hannah out' Borelli explained
'Do you really think she's got that much time?' Brett questioned
'He's got possible spinal injuries'
'Get him out last, it's what he deserves' Brett replied
Borelli looked at her but didn't say anything

Herrmann began to try to pry open the door of the SUV. Once open the paramedics of ambo 26 carefully pulled the driver out and loaded him into the ambulance
'Hey Lieutenant' Said Chout 'Good luck'
'Thanks' Casey replied
Capp tightened the winch to pull the SUV away 'All good to go' He called out to Tony
Tony put the squad in reverse and pulled the cars apart.
Once they were apart Herrmann and Mouch began to cut the front roof posts in order to pull the roof off to get Hannah out. Once the roof was peeled back Severide got in to get his daughter out
'It's OK sweetie, dads here' He said as he got closer to her
Hannah didn't reply
They carefully slid the spine board behind Hannah and pulled her out of what was left of the car and loaded her into the ambulance.

Truck and Squad began to pack away while the police continued to investigate the car accident
Katherine and Kelly stood quietly holding each other closely amongst the chaos around them.
'She's gonna be ok' Kelly reassured Katherine, and partly himself
'I know, cause she's got you'
Kelly looked at Katherine
'And you' He replied
'I love you' Katherine said quietly
'I love you too' Kelly replied
Katerine rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Kelly held her tighter
'Katherine?'
There was no reply. Katherine slowly fell into his arms'Katherine?' He questioned as he lowered her limp body to the ground 'Katherine wake up, please' He begged
'Casey! Dawson! Someone help please!' Kelly yelled
Boden, Casey and Dawson came running over
'What happened?' Dawson asked
'I-I don't know, one minute we were talking then she just fainted'
'Casey, call for another ambulance' Dawson ordered
