''51...report...51, report...51, REPORT!''


All seemed to be gone in less than a second. Leslie Shay tried to crawl up, her hand searching the ground next to her for her best friend, but all she found was debris. She tried to look around but there was only darkness and smoke. Tears were burning in her eyes as the smoke was so thick she couldn't see anything and it was burning in her eyes.

After they had heard the guys from truck yelling to go back, they wanted to ask Boden what to do, but all connection between the radio's seemed to be gone and on their way back to Boden...there was the big boom, like thunder hit them and now everything was gone.

Somebody coughed beside her and she felt somebody grabbing her hand.

''Shay, are you okay?'' She heard Gabriela crying and trying to get up she tried to find Gabriela in the chaos.

''I am okay...what happened?'' Shay said then, before they were interrupted by more falling debris.

Boden was looking at the building, still trying to contact his men that were inside. More firetrucks, ambulances and police stopped around him now.

Inside, Shay and Dawson crawled up, searching for the light in the darkness and smoke surrounding them and finally they managed to come outside, immediately supported by other EMT's. Boden sighed relieved as the two EMT's seemed to be okay. The EMT's checked them and Boden walked towards them.

''Áre you okay? What happened?'' He asked as they were both sitting on the end of the ambulance, trying to comprehend what just happened.

''Is Matt inside?'' Gabby said then, worried and she looked at the building, smoke coming from all of the floors and the wall blasted out on the front side.

Boden didn't reply but Gabby coudl see in his face and she knew Matt was still inside. She needed know he was okay, she hadn't even been able to reply to his proposal...he needed to be okay!

Shay looked to the ground, worried about Kelly when Boden's radio suddenly started to make sounds and he grabbed it, hoping it would finally be a sing of life from the building, while the other firefighters were looking for away in.

''Chief? We are trapped.'' Boden heard Herrmann say then and Boden almost crushed the radio in his hand, glad to finally hear from his men.

''We need immediate help.'' Herrmann said as he looked around him.

''Please don't let Shay or Dawson come up here.'''he said then and Boden tried to ask more, but they lost connection again.

''We can't wait for them to come here.'' Capp said as he was digging through the rubble, trying to find the youngest member of the rescue squad. Herrmann wiped the blood away that was streaming in his eyes and he knew that if they waited, they would lose more man.

''I can't get Casey free.'' Otis said. He looked lost as Matt was pined down under a large beam, bleeding heavily from the wound on his head. Otis knew Matt needed to get out as fast as possible because of the bleed from his head, where a last part of concrete had hit his head and Otis was afraid this would worsen his head injury. He felt Casey's wrist and felt hardly any pulse and he tried to Matt out, without any result. The lieutenant remained trapped under the beam, even now Toni was helping him and he was afraid they would lose Matt.

''Don't move him, you might make his injuries worse.'' Herrmann yelled at Otis in the direction he had heard his voice. A lot of sounds sounded from that direction and he was afraid they would make Matt's state worse by moving him as Otis had said something about a head injury.

The smoke was so bad and they could hardly see each other, which made it even harder to find their brothers, still lost in the rubble.

Herrmann heard a cough further away in the smoke and he wasn't sure it had been one of the man that had gotten out of the explosion without much damage. They were trying to find Kelly and Milly, while they tried to get Matt free and that was all the progress he knew. He tried to get in connection with the chief again, but the radio didn't give him more than vague sounds.

''Chief, we really need help here.'' Herrmann said then, before succumbing to the smoke.

''Christopher! Herrmann, Herrmann! Answer me!'' Boden yelled while Gabby stood up from the edge of the ambulance, ignoring the pain in her knee. She knew it was just a scrap and she really needed to know how the others were doing before she could even worry about herself.

''Chief, did you hear anything?'' She asked and worried and she wanted to go back in, make sure that everybody was fine, that Matt was fine. She couldn't even answer his proposal and now she had no idea if he was okay. The images of the night she almost lost him after he saved the baby haunted through her mind. She had almost lost him then and she never wanted to see him like that again, in pain. Fighting for his life and there was nothing she could do but hold his hand and hope for the best for him, that he would every recover. He had recovered and now she was at a point of losing him again.

Shay felt so guilty as she had just made up with Kelly and now he was in danger. She needed to know how he was, she needed to know he was alright. He was her best friend, her brother. The most important person she had.

Boden looked as the man were climbing on the ladder, getting to his firefighters as soon as possible. Boden sighed relieved as they finally went inside. Hopefully there was more news about his men soon and they would all get out fo the building safely.

''We found your men.'' Sounded through the radio and Boden sighed relieved.

''Three persons are missing, one is critically injured.'' The lieutenant of the other rescue squad told him and Boden waited as he heard more sound through the radio.

''We will try to get the injured firefighter out as soon as possible while we keep looking for the missing men...and one...'' The lieutenant of truck 52 suddenly stopped talking. Boden kept waiting again.

''One...one didn't make it.'' He heard then with a sniff and Boden sank down on his knees.
