Daddy Can you hear me

Chapter One

Station 51, Child trapped. 87 Millbrook Lane. 8-7 Millbrook, time out 13:10

Johnny grumbled as Roy maneuvered the squad into the direction of the rescue. It was far worse when there were children involved. He wasn't saying it was any easier with anyone else but with a child, it was just harder.

When they arrived, the person that appeared to be the father stepped over to them.

"Can you help me, the little girl did it again and this time got her head stuck in the railing," he relayed.

Johnny was relieved that it was nothing serious and judging by Roy, he was glad too. He turned to the man and went to ask how the little girl did it but decided better of it because it was most likely that she just put her head through there and couldn't get it out.

"Man we tried everything, Vaseline and some vegetable oil. Even butter but it refuses to budge," he explained.

They collected the biophone and usual supplies and followed the guy in the house to the stairs where the mother it appeared was still trying. She turned just as they entered and let out a sigh. Do I know her, he wondered silently. Naw, Johnny figured. There were plenty of explanations and it couldn't have been that she reminded her of someone.

"What have we got," Hank Stanley asked.

"Cap, we have a little girl jammed pretty tight in the railings," Johnny filled him in.

Surveying the scene, Hank shook his head. The only person he knew to have ever been able to find that much trouble was Gage.

"Hey sweetheart, what's your name," Roy asked as the others stood still and watched.

"'M Sav'nah Lee," she answered with little thought as to whom she was talking to.

Roy thought it reminded him of his kids when they were really little: probably around the age of one. Smiling he proceeded to check the situation out. It quickly became apparent that she had jammed her head in pretty good and there was only one way to get it out.

"Did you try ice Mrs.?" He asked.

"Mrs. Jones and yeah that's one of the first things I've tried. Little Savannah gets her self into all these situations which are still beyond me and usually comes out unscathed," she continued.

"Reminds me of someone," Roy commented then continued. "We probably need to cut the bar down if we have any hope of getting her out."

Chet went down to Savannah's eyelevel and smiled.

"You got yourself into a jam huh," he asked.

"Yeah," she answered with a smile and Chet had a sudden déjà vu. The smile, the eye color and heck even the color of her hair reminded her of someone.

"Out," she demanded.

"Well, we have to cut the bar and then we could," he explained.

She pouted and Chet found his heart breaking. Unfortunately, he couldn't resist the expression and decided to keep her busy.

"Can you count," he asked.

She was silent for a minute then she nodded.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7," she counted. "I'm one and a ha'f," she added holding up her fingers to that amount.

"Hey Chet," Roy called.

"I'll be right back sweetie," Chet told her.

"Okay here's what we're going to do. We're going to use the jack to widen it so that we can get her unstuck. Then we can access her condition and see if she was badly hurt," Roy explained.

Everyone nodded and Chet piped up.

"She isn't hurt by the looks of it. She's like Gage because of the fact that she's complaining about being bored and not of the fact that she's wedged up in there like this."

Hank rolled his eyes.

"As that may be, we still have a child to get out," He told them.

They nodded and set to work. This time Johnny kneeled to the girl's eyelevel and tried to get her in conversation.

"We're going to get you out really fast," he assured her.

"Me bored," she said with solemn eyes.

Johnny nodded and signaled for Roy to go ahead with his plan. Marco and Mike were on either side of Johnny and were watching the girl with real interest. If Johnny couldn't tell what was obviously right in front of him, they weren't going to tell him.

"So that your daddy," Johnny asked.

"Daddy Jones," she answered.

"Why the Jones if he's your dad," Johnny asked.

Marco and Mike exchanged a look then Marco piped in.

"What do you like to do," he asked.

"Peace," she answered simply.

It was hard to know if she was serious the way her big brown eyes lit up and the fact that she looked way too innocent. Marco knew she couldn't have been that innocent but the fact that she seemed to mean what she said was disbelieving.

"Your hair's naturally curly in the back," Johnny asked.

The bars were almost wide enough now for her to get her head out of and Johnny was relieved. Savannah was the type of kid to just warm a person's heart. Her short brown hair was up in a fountain type style and the hair that wasn't held by a rubber band was wavy. She had big brown eyes that lit up everytime she chatted away. Her easy going nature was what got him the most and every one of things built up her charisma.

"Me hair wavy," she said with a cute smile which he returned.

Slowly they got her head out and sat her on the rug as both Roy and Johnny checked her over. Although she didn't appear to have any problems on her, they put through to Rampart anyways.

"51, patient should not need to go to the hospital," Dr. Brackett advised them.

"10-4 Rampart," Johnny said.

"10-4," Savannah said with a giggle.

The mother smiled at that.

"She is a happy go lucky child. Maybe sometimes too happy," she added with a shake of her head as she rubbed her protruding belly.

"Bet she's happy to have a sibling," Johnny said.

"But the question is, will this one have the dark hair Savannah has," she asked.

Johnny stared at her and all of a sudden everything fell in place.

"Your Claire Bennett," he stated.

"Yeah and this here is Savannah Lee Gage," she said and then paused.

Chet and the other guys were by their vehicles loading up the stuff and couldn't help but wonder about the similarities.

"I bet she's related to Gage someway," Chet remarked.

"I didn't really notice," Roy replied.

Marco stared at him disbelievingly.

"The hair, the eyes, the smile, the charm, and the look-shall I go on," he asked.

Roy rolled his eyes.

"Any little girl who exhibits that and you think-"

Squad 51, unknown rescue, 43 Marks landing, 4-3 Marks time out 14:00

Roy shook his head and as he and his partner jumped into the squad and headed towards the next rescue both deep in their own thoughts.
