Inferno
Context: Not sure a mix of the seasons. Shay isn't dead here but Brett is Gabby's replacement. Gabby and Casey were never together so keep that in mind. Enjoy.
Casey emerged from the burning house caughing and handing over a burned victim to Brett and Shay. Gabby's breath started again at this sight.
"You ok?" she asked, her paramedic reflexes in control of her hands. They palpated his muscled arms and chest before stopping on his heart. The beat felt normal given the circumstances.
"I'm fine" he managed, between two coughs. He cupped her hand and stuck his eyes in hers as a way to reassure her. "Hey chief; it looked like someone had left a curling iron too close to the curtains and they directly fell on to the sofa, which…"
"Accidental then," Matt nodded and placed a calming hand on Gabby's shoulder.
Severide came out shortly after "Basement's all clear, looks like everyone's out"
Chief Boden smiled, wiped his forehead and clapped for attention "Ok, send the water then."
The fire was out so the crew headed to the house.
In the back of the truck, the laughs caught Casey's attention.
"Our candidate did a fantastic job today"
"She was out before the rest, talk about being lazy" Otis said, rolling his eyes. Cruz chuckled.
"I just knew where to go"
"Right!" he added, nudging Cruz's shoulder.
"What? First thing I saw coming in was a Barbie doll. Kids usually like to hide under their bed when they're scared. So, that where I went.
"Hear that, everyone? That's good work. You gotta give her that," Casey said, he turned around and waited for Otis to do so.
"Hey! Aren't we supposed to give candidates a hard time? That's what I love most about this job"
"Nope, Otis. Looks like this time we aren't allowed to have any fun" Cruz said as he opened the truck door.
"Tell me about it'" Mouch joined in.
Gabby threw a sly smile at them and wiggled her eyebrows "don't be jelly" she got out of the truck after Otis and headed to the gear room.
"Dawson, can we have a word?" Lieutenant Casey said, more as an order than a question.
"Sure" he grabbed her arm and dragged her to the lockers' room.
"What happened out there? You seemed more scared when I got out of the building than when I told you to run in,"
She inhaled hastily in surprise "I guess, I," his burning pupils deep into hers, she saw his face grow closer to her.
"hmm?" he invited,
He placed his hand on the front of her shoulder and gently pushed her against a locker. Their faces were barely 2 inches apart. She felt his breath on her neck and his cologne invaded her nostrils. Masculine, viril: a fitting description of the man who stood in front of her. She looked at him and anticipated the kiss, but it never came.
It would ruin everything.
He's my lieutenant, that's it.
A lieutenant with really blue eyes.
A hot lieutenant with blue eyes.
Don't look at his eyes, they're dangerous.
She forced her gaze down and stopped at his lips. With the side of his finger, he slowly pushed up her chin until she looked at him again. A lip bite later, she caught her breath, struggling to resist the tentation of his lips.
He brought his mouth closer and just as their lips were about to collide:
TRUCK 81, SQUAD 3, AMBULANCE 61. RESTAURANT FIRE 3 JFK STREET.
Saved by the bell.
He pulled away and ran toward the truck. She followed, shaking what had just happened out of her head.
The fire wasn't progressing too quickly.
Casey and Severide analysed the situation. You could hear people screaming for help from inside the restaurant. A lot had made it out. And the police was setting a perimeter to keep anyone from getting too close.
"Capp and Mills take the front help Casey and his team get everyone out. We'll take the back" Severide yelled so his team could hear.
"The priority's on the victims, I want this restaurant empty in less than ten minutes. Go go go!" Chief Boden said,
Casey ran toward the restaurant,
"Dawson, on my hip. Otis inside, it's a one story building nobody will be needing the ladder. Cruz and Otis take the left, the rest take the center. Dawson and I will take the right,"
"You got it Lieutenant" They replied in unison
"Mask up, this is going to be a tough one" They ran in the burning building and each couple of teamworkers headed to their side.
Gabby followed Casey at a fast rate but slowed down when the thick smoke darkened her sight. She turned on the light of her cask and started scanning for hidden victims. The gear weighed heavy on her back but it almost became second nature. She spotted a foot.
"Casey!" she nodded at the foot and they headed to the victim. A table had fallen over him, Gabby checked for any injuries and saw none. Casey lifted the table up and put it beside him. The man's pulse was weak.
"Get him out, he can still make it out alive" she looked around them and then "I'll look for someone else"
"Gabby.."
"I can do it, hurry. He needs fresh air"
Casey reluctantly left her behind. The smoke grew darker and darker every step of her way. The tables and chairs were upside down all over the place, probably due to the panic of the clients. The flames started eating the wall between the kitchen and the reception room.
"Fire department, call out!" she kept screaming, she watched for victims who might have fainted after breathing too much of the smoke.
"Left side all clear" she heard Otis say, through the radio.
The wall beside her caught fire and she had to pull away to make sure it didn't burn her arm.
"Lila wake up. Please Lila. Come on " she heard the voice of a young girl.
The oxygen in her mask started running out, she needed to act quick.
"Fire department call out!" She called,
"Lila come on!" the girl begged.
"Hey, girl. I'm here to help, you need to tell me where you are so I can come get you and your friend safe,"
"Over here, under the table"
"What is your name?"
"Katie"
"Ok, Katie stick you hand out so I can see you.
The thick smoke blurred every thing, Gabby forced on her eyes.
"Center, all clear" Capp said on the radio.
"Dawson do you copy?" Casey's voice was shaken.
She grabbed the radio "I just found two little girls, one's conscious but the other one is stuck under a table. I'll get her out and I'm all clear in here too,"
"Copy that, hurry this restaurant is about to burst in flames" Chief Boden yelled.
Gabby broke every window she found to suck as much air as she could. She moved closer to the trapped little girl and yanked the table off.
"You're hurting her, stop it" Katie said in a little voice.
"What?" Gabby asked, she looked back at Lila. The foot of the table had stabbed the girl's stomach. She had very little chance of making it. Lila's blood covered her shirt and Gabby knew that moving her would take too much time to save Katie. She squatted down and took the girl's pulse.
"Shit!" She took her radio "Chief, I'm coming out, one of the girls just died. I'm gonna need some medics for the other one,"
She wrapped her arms around Katie's waist and lifted her up on her hip. The flames ate their way through the ceiling and the propagation pace doubled and then tripled in intensity.
"Dawson report" Chief Boden shouted on the radio.
"Chief. I think there's an accelerant in the ceiling"
A huge thud deafened one of her ears and the luxurious chandelier collapsed right in front of her. She stopped her pace, gave her back to the projected glass shatters, bodyshielding the little girl as she had been taught. Katie let out a scream and her frail body gave in to Dawson's arms.
"Katie, stay with me!" she shook the little body but had no response.
"Dawson report!" Casey sounded histerical.
"Dawson report!"
She ignored the calls and focused on getting out of the hot mess. The doorframe ahead of her seemed to have completely burned off meaning the flames shut off on their own. She took a leap of fate and sprinted across from it, a solid frame blocked her way. When her eyes adjusted to the outside light, it was Casey.
"Oh my god! Dawson don't ever do that again! That's an order," He blurted out, relief written all over his face.
A shy smile curved her lips but she quickly focused back on the girl, "Shay, Brett. She was awake all the time speaking and everything. She only fainted about a minute ago with the big scare of the chandelier falling in front of us"
" Quite the fighter this one, ha? What's her name?" Shay asked, getting ready to take listen to her heartbeat.
"Katie"
The medics took the girl in the ambulance.
The whole team sent water and worked on putting the fire out.
Once at the firehouse everyone looked at Gabby.
"What?" she asked
"Lunch isn't cooking itself" Mouch said, pointing toward the kitchen.
"Hey, great job out there Dawson. Don't worry about lunch I'll figure something out" Mills said, happy to cook again.
Cruz, Otis and Mouch bet on which meal he'd make and ran in following Mills.
Herman and Casey talked about a party they wanted to throw at Molly's.
"Lieutenant Casey. Can we have a word?"
"Sure, what's up Dawson?" He followed her to the locker's room where she pushed him against the locker and planted her lips between his.
Her hair spiked when he kissed her back and found his way to her neck. She placed her arms around his torso as he picked her up swung her around to then pin her against the locker. He came back to her eager lips with a hand on the side of her face. A barely audible moan escaped Gabby's mouth, stealing him a smile.
TRUCK 81, SQUAD 3, AMBULANCE 61
Shay came in to get her phone at that moment. Their bodies forcefully separated, the bittersweet sensation of this contact settling in both of them.
"Hot steamy sex at the firehouse, I like that!" Shay said, Casey blew his frustration out and Gabby's reddened cheeks vouched for the heat of that moment.
Decided to continue it. But I missed Dawsey hotness so... here it is, lol. Tell me what you think.
