FALLING TO PIECES: The Sequel to the Sequel.
A/N: Italics are their thoughts!
The following morning
Chase woke up earlier than usual, he got out of bed and chucked on a t-shirt and some footy shorts. He grabbed his keys and headed out the door, quietly shutting it behind him. He ran down the flight of stairs and headed out on the street. He ran as fast as his legs would possibly allow him too. He ran onto the beach and down on the harder part of the sand, he kept running before his legs gave up on him. He sat on the beach looking out to the ocean, the sky was still dark, but the sun was trying to break through.
He sighed and got up again, he tried to run but he had no energy left inside of him. He walked back up the beach until he reached the street for Lachie's apartment. He headed up the dunes and walked onto the street, he made his way slowly back to the apartment and up the stairs.
Chase walked in still trying to catch his breath, he was surprised when he saw Lachie standing in the kitchen. "Oh, sorry. Did I wake you?" he asked concerned
"No" Lachie said shaking his head "Did you go for a run?" he asked looking at a sweaty Chase
"Yeah" Chase said going into the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water
"You look stuffed" Lachie laughed
Chase let out a light laugh "I've become unfit, I need one of your training sessions" he smirked
"Is that you trying to hint to me that you want me to take you out for a fitness session?" Lachie asked raising his eyebrow
"Indeed it is" Chase smiled
Lachie chuckled before smiling to himself about Chase actually laughing for once. "Make your self some breakfast while I have a shower" Lachie was saying as he walked away and headed for the shower, he turned into the shower before quickly poking his head around the door "Oh and Chase?" he asked
"Yeah?" Chase asked appearing in the hallway
"Make sure you shower too before getting into my Ute" Lachie said before he shut the door
Chase made himself some breakfast and sat on the couch, eating away the toast that was on his plate. Lachie came out all ready for work and it was Chase's time to have a shower.
Lachie was eating a piece of toast when his phone rang, he picked it up not even checking the I.D. "Hello?" he asked with a mouthful of food
"Lachie, it's Michelle. Is Chase coming in today?" she asked hopeful of a yes
"Uh, yeah I believe he is. His quite chatty this morning but that might change when he gets to work" Lachie told her
Michelle sighed "Alright, see you guys soon" she hung up the phone and went back to her paperwork that was beginning to pile up in front of her.
Lachie was waiting on the couch for Chase, he appeared minutes later all dressed for work. "Ready?" Lachie asked
"Yeah" Chase nodded and headed for the front door closely followed by Lachie.
They got to the HQ and headed over to the patrols, "Dean, Lachie" Vince said greeting them
"Vince" Lachie said back
"Since your the only two here yet, you can start your paper work" Vince said
The boys rolled their eyes and headed up for their desks, Michelle saw Chase and headed over to him.
"Hey" she smiled at him
"..Hey" Chase said trying to smile for her
"How are you going?" she asked
"Alright...I guess." Chase said, he looked over and noticed Dean and Lara beginning to walk up the stairs. He quickly turned and faced back to his computer
"Hey" Lara said happily at him
"Hey Lara" Chase said not looking up. Heidi and Jordan joined not long after taking a seat at their desks.
It had been a quite morning, no one was really talking to each other and they kept exchanging looks at Chase. Vince came running out of Michelle's office.
"MVA, one man and women trapped, there are children involved and a few hurt pedestrians go save some lives!" Vince told them
They eached grabbed their jackets and ran down to the patrol, Dean and Lara hopped in one and Jordan, Lachie, Chase and Heidi in the other. They clicked for the sirens and went speeding of down the streets.
They arrived ten minutes later, there was a car crashed into a light post and another that had ran off the road. They got out and headed for the back of the patrol, Dean and Lara met them at their patrol. Alright, do this in pairs. Lachie Chase you're team one, me and Lara are team two and Heidi and Jordan you're team three. Team one you take the car crashed into the light post, me and Lara will take the other car and Heidi and Jordan, you take pedestrians.
They nodded in response and headed for their designated spots, Chase was walking a few steps behind Lachie before he stopped and just stood starring at the car. "Chase?" Lachie asked turning around, the look on Chase's face was blank. He couldn't get any words out, he just kept reading the number plate over and over again.
It finally kicked in "Demi" he said quietly
"What?" Lachie asked confused. Chase began running to the car and Lachie took off after him.
"Demi" He said again
The sounds of two kids screaming filled his head before adrenaline kicked into his body, he tried to open the door but it was jammed shut and Lachie caught up to him he looked inside to see an unconscious Demi, he looked behind to see the twins screaming and crying. Chase was desperatly trying to wake Demi up.
"Demi, please baby wake up for me" Chase said shaking her shoulders
"Chase, get back. This is too close for you to work on. Go get Dean" Lachie ordered, Chase shook his head and kept trying to wake Demi up. Lachie had to physically pull Chase back, lifting him several centremetres of the ground. "Dean!" Lachie shouted "Get here now!" Lachie added. Dean came running over and saw Lachie holding a frantic Chase back.
"What's going..." Dean was saying before he looked and saw Demi and the twins in the car.
"Let go of me!" Chase shouted flinging his way out of Lachie's tight grip
