Okay, so here is the fourth chapter ! Enjoy it :D

CHAPTER 4 : stop

Hermann was getting down the hole he made with Severide. He was trying to help him as he could, but some debris fell on them and in the slab above Casey. Kelly exhaled with relief.

"Hopefully I wasn't on this slab anymore."

When he finished his sentence, the slab came down a little more. This woke Matt up, who was screaming in pain.

"Matt, stay still and clam! We're coming alright?"

He couldn't help but groan again and opened his eyes. He blinked several times because of the blurr vision. He tried to take a deep breath but he stopped because of a huge pain in his chest and a big cough made him spitting blood.

"Matt! Small and quick breaths."

He obeyed and the cough ended after some seconds. Hermann finally got down the hole et reached Matt.

"Lieutenant?"

Matt reopened his eyes and they met Hermann's.

"Hermann... Stop."

"What?"

Hermann frowned, he didn't understand what Casey meant.

"Hurt... Stop... Pain."

He coughed again.

"Sorry lieutenant, I can't stop the pain, we have to wait the rescue team."

Matt closed his eyes and tried to nod but this time, the pain killed his neck.

"Don't force. You're going to worsen your injuries."

"Radio..."

Matt moved his right arm a little et grabbed slightly his radio.

"You want to try?"

"Mh."

Hermann took it, got up and tried the main channel the firehouse 51 uses.

"Chief, this is Hermann. You copy?"

A blank, then...

"This is Tony Ferraris. Hermann, it's really you?

"Damn Tony! Where are you?"

"Probably not far away from you because I'm copying you."

"I'm with Severide and Casey. We're not really good."

"Casey is alive?"

"Still here", Casey whispered, but a coughing fit came again after this phrase.

"Don't force Casey."

Matt nodded slightly.

"And you, you okay?"

"I don't know. For now I'm trying to join you and then I will worry about my injuries."

"Right. Stay in contact every five minutes."

"Copy."

Severide exhaled deeply.

"Everyone is alive at least."

"Thanks you Casey. If he hadn't run towards us and warned to put us away, we'd all be dead."

Hermann turned to Casey and checked his injuries one by one with Severide, who finally got down the hole. They palpated his whole body.

"His right leg is broken, several broken ribs."

Severide frowned and grabbed the arm of Hermann.

"Hermann wait... Matt? You hear me?"

He seemed worry. He noticed something wrong.

"You feeling this?"

Severide put his hand on Matt's thigh and pressed his fingers on the area.

"Felling what?"

The eyes of Hermann were big now and he turned to Severide.

"What is it? What it's happening?"

Matt was beginning to panick because of his two colleagues.

"Matt, listen to me. You're in shock, it's okay alright?"

Kelly tried to convince everything was alright, and tried to convince himself. Mais deep down, he knew this was bad. Hermann got up again and tried the other channels.

"Chief, this is Hermann. You copy?"

He did this operation many times in vain.

"Tony, you're still here?"

"Still alive. Already five minutes?"

"I think so. You okay? You seemed out of breath."

"My back is killing me and there is wmoke so I can't breathe properly."

"Lot of smoke?"

"Where I am yeah. There are three fires and the roof is still collapsing. And my mask is cracked."

"The roof is still collapsing too in here. The problem is the debris are coming down on a slab, and this slab can collapse on Casey in every moment."

"And you can move him?"

"Non."

Hermann walkedd away and whispered.

"He doesn't feel his legs. We can't risk to move him. And when there was this explosion, turned his body to it. If we move him, this could be worse."

Some seconds passed without a noise.

"I understand. I heard something not far from me sooner. I'll see what is it. Maybe someone came down and is searching us."

"Are you sure about this?"

"A hundred per cent sure. Maybe a K12, as if someone is trying to break a slab."

"The firefighters outside is using it too."

"I'm pretty sure it was under the rubble", he assured, insisting on the 'under'.

"Okay then. Be careful."

"Promise."

On the other side, Gabby and Jimmy were working hardly to join the others. The sweat was invading their face, every part of their body, their gear were wet. The slab broke and they entered on a great room.

"Woah..."

Gabby grabbed a beacon and activated it, then continued to look aroud her.

"What a pocket", Borelli smirked.

"The origin of the explosion isn't far. It means..."

"We aren't far from the others", he continued.

Gabby turned and nodded.

"We can try our radios?"

Gabby was amazed by the smart of Jimmy.

"And why?"

"If they weren't far, the strate of concrete would be thin, so our signal could pass and reach them."

This was the good explanation, but..

"And if their radios are out? They couldn't hear us."

"Then we try, and we will be fixed."

She nodded with a slight smile. She understood why Casey took him under his command. She grabbed her radio and activated it.

"Hermann, you copy? Someone?"

She waited a few seconds and was ready to do it again when someone answered.

"Dawson?"

"Thsi is Dawson, who is this?"

"This is Ferraris. Damn I'm happy to hear you!"

"Everything is alright Tony?"

"My back is killing me, apart this I'm okay. You're outside?"

"Non, I'm under the rubble. We did a hole and Borelli and I got down. We are on a... Big air pocket."

"Ah... I see where you are. I'm coming in a few minutes, I will warn the others."

"You... You have a contact?"

"Yes, I wasn't far to them when I heard a K12. I said to the I will looking on it. I'm coming alright?"

"Wait Tony! When you said the others, who were you talking about?"

"The three Musketeers! Hermann and Severide were looking good for me, but Casey is in a bad situation."

"What? What is it?"

"Well, I didn't understand well. I think he is below a slab and this slab is collapsing on him. Something like that."

Gabby held her breath for a few seconds and closed her eyes.

"Okay, we're waiting for you."

"Copy."

Gabby lowered his gaze, sat down and cried. All this was too much for her. Borelli didn't know what to do.

"Gabby? And if... If we activate the call? This pocket is big and high enough for a rescue team to come down, isn't it? And it's nearly in a direct access to... The three Musketeers as Tony said."

"Nearly in a direct access?" she asked astonished.

"He said he knew where we are. So he came here. And he said he wasn't far to them when he heard us. So, it's nearly in a direct access to them. If we clench the call distress, they will cut the roof, could get down a rescue team and some medical tools. And also get out of here."

Gabby thought about it. This was a good idea, this was genius in fact. But she hoped this wouldn't further weaken the structure.

"It can work. Lets do this."

She took a beacon and turned the clip to the top.
