I am not really sure about publishing this, I have only ever attempted one fanfiction before and I always said I would never start another until that one was finished, but that one has not been updated in over a year and I am not sure when I'll ever finish it. I am sad that there are not more Rescue Fanfictions around and had an idea brewing so i'm going to give it a go and see how I get on. There are several really good rescue fics I am really enjoying at the moment and while I am trying to be patient for updates I am filling the time between checking for updates with having a go at this story.

This is set after 3.13, so Lara knows about Jordan and Heidi but has kept quiet about it. I am very excited about 3.14 and hating the wait!

"Where's Jordan, and Heidi?" asked Michelle, looking around the office. Lara turned slightly in her chair to hide the smile on her face, she had a good idea where they were but she wasn't going to spill the beans, at least not until she had had a bit more fun with her knowledge.

With no answer forthcoming Michelle sighed and turned to Vince, waiting for him to hang up the phone. Lara meanwhile was discreetly attempting to text Heidi 'you better hurry up, your absence is noted'.

"we have a big one, building explosion and collapse, we'll call Jordan and Heidi on the way, they can meet us there" Vince handed the slip with the address on to Michelle as he started heading to the stairs, Chase, Dean and Lara close behind him.

"Hold on, Guys, this is Jordans building" the team stopping dead at Michelles words, a second later they were running down the stairs and jumping into the patrol, Michelle jumping in with Vince as they pulled out into the street. They rode in silence interrupted only by the blare of the sirens, following the other patrol.

Inside the other patrol Chase was trying to call Jordan but getting no response, and he was getting frustrated. Dean was concentrating on the road but was still trying to relieve some of the tension "he's probably helping people at the scene", He glanced over at Lara, who was also on the phone, she noticed him looking "i'm trying to call Heidi"

"tell her to get there"

"she's not answering"

"leave a message, we're here" He stopped the patrol and they all jumped out, they paused for a moment taking in the scene in front of them. Where once had been the apartment block containing Jordan's apartment, now was a large pile of rubble and dust. Firies were hosing down a small fire in one corner of the site, while dust filled the street. The police had set up a perimeter and the ambo's already on the scene had set up a triage area with colour coded large squares of tarpaulin. Walking wounded were being guided away from the main site.

Vince and Michelle had also pulled up and were heading over to speak to the Fire Officer in charge. Dean, Lara and Chase were desperately scanning the area, hoping to spot Jordan amongst the people already evacuated from the building. When they couldn't see him amongst the green tags they started scanning the more serious injuries, still not spotting him, and not seeing him anywhere else at the scene they forced themselves to look at the black sheet, 2 bodies had already been pulled from the rubble and with a huge sigh Dean had confirmed that neither was Jordan.

Michelle and Vince approached the team, Vince speaking first.

"Right, There was an explosion 30 minutes ago, the firies think it was a gas leak, it brought down the north side of the building. The complex contained 14 apartments, we have a tenant list from the building manager. There are walking wounded from the street, and the police are trying to get names from people who managed to get out of the building. The building is unstable, and getting the rest out is going to be slow and difficult. We will start on the east side of the building, the firies say the fire on the west side is mostly under control, but we can't enter that area until they have cleared it, Right now we have 8 occupants unaccounted for, but cops are going through the contact lists to try and confirm if they were likely to be in the building."

Michelle stepped forward

"we are now co-ordinating the search for the rest of the occupants. The hospitals are on alert and following the major incident protocol. The ambulance service will continue to triage those outside the building and provide transport. Police are helping to confirm a list of those missing and will help to control the media. The fire service is in charge where the building is still on fire and you will wait for instruction from them before entering that area.. They have already shut off the power, water and gas to the building." Michelle paused and took a deep breath. "At the moment Jordan is on the list of those missing"

Lara knew she had to speak up now, Heidi had not responded to her messages or phonecalls and Lara now had a horrible feeling that she knew why she wasn't responding.

"I think Heidi could be in there too"

"what?" asked a shocked and confused Michelle

"Heidi and Jordan are seeing each other, they think it's a secret but they have been together since the chopper crash, and they've been arriving at work together most mornings. She's not answering her phone or responding to messages, I think she's been staying at Jordan's"

The team all stared at Lara, Chase couldn't believe Jordan had managed to keep such a secret from him, Dean couldn't believe Lara had known and she hadn't told him. Then the reality sort of sunk in and they forgot the fact that they had been secretly dating and realised the implications. There was a good chance both Jordan and Heidi were somewhere under the pile of rubble in front of them.
