Truck 81 came to a stop at the address behind 61 and they all jumped out. They were there for man power so they needed to find the girls. Once inside the building Matt led them up the stairs, he knew they were getting close when he saw their equipment and after he went up another flight of stairs he saw Brett and Shay. "Where's Gabby?" He asked confused.
"Matt, just, we called the police already." Shay started and she just scared him.
"Where is Gabby!?" He said worried as he pushed past Brett to the door. "CFD open the door!" He called.
"Matt the victim has her. He would only let one of us in and he, he has a gun." Shay said quietly as she tried to calm him down.
"What!" He yelled at her, "and you let her go in there!" Matt was furious and yanked a halligan out of Otis' hands. "Open the door or we're comming in!" Matt yelled as he prepared to break open the door.
"Keep out or I'll kill her!" A voice yelled back.
"Matt!" Gabby yelled and his heart was pounding and his blood was running cold. "Just listen to him!"
Matt groaned in frustration and ran his hand through his hair. He started to walk away from the door when he heard the sound of Gabby's high pitched squeak and the sound of something shattering. He spun around to the door. "Gabby, Gabby are you okay!?" He yelled but didn't get an answer. "Forget it." He mumbled and quickly broke the lock on the door.
"Casey!" Hermann yelled after him.
"Stay out there." He ordered as he walked further inside. He found his way into the kitchen and could see into the living room. Gabby was sitting with her back to him and the man was pointing a gun at her with one hand as she wrapped his other bloody arm.
The man saw him and moved the gun and pointed it at him. "Get out!" He yelled at Matt.
"Let her go." Matt growled back. He tightened his hand around the halligan, "Now!" He said raising his voice.
"Leave or I'll kill her!" He said training the gun back on Gabby when he saw that pointing it at Matt wasn't working.
"Matt just listen to him." Gabby pleaded but Matt still didn't want to leave.
"Fine." He whispered and starred to back out. Once he was out of sight of the man he ducked down behind the counter and crawled along the floor. He made it all the way around the room and ended up behind the man. Gabby saw him and he just laid his finger over his lips. She kept doing her job as he crept closer. She looked at him again and he mouthed get down at her. She immediately fell back and Matt grabbed the man's arm to try and take the gun.
The two rolled around on the ground before Matt ended up on top. The man struggled and a shot was fired but Matt was able to throw the gun across the room. He started to punch the man, "you try to hurt my family!?" He yelled enraged.
The truck 81 guys ran in and pulled Matt off of the man. Otis and Hermann held the man down and Mouch held Matt as Cruz stood in the middle. Next a couple of cops entered the room and Mouch started to guide Matt out. He pulled away and quickly walked into the hallway. Gabby was leaning against the corner of the wall and Matt walked over to her. "Are you okay?" He asked worried.
"Yeah," She nodded and Matt gave her a hug. After a few second Gabby pulled away and looked at Matt's arm. "Are you bleeding?" She asked as she puled his arm to her so she could examine it. There was a small hole in his coat sleeve and when she pulled it open to peer inside she saw a small hole. "Matt, you've been shot." She said and turned to Cruz who had come walking out of the apartment. Brett and Shay were inside with the man and the police. "Cruz go grab me some scissors, clean gloves and some 4x4s." she said and he walked off. "Sit down." She ordered and he did.
"I'm fine." He protested as she helped him out of his coat. Cruz brought what she requested and Gabby started to cut up the sleeve of Matt's shirt so she could reach the wound just above his elbow.
"It's just a graze but it's deep." She sighed and pressed a bandage against it. He cringed but Gabby kept applying gentle pressure. "Why is it that we get into so much trouble?" She asked scarcastically.
"As long as we keep getting out okay." He sighed as she checked the bleeding.
"You might need stitches." Gabby frowned and Matt groaned.
"I'm fine. Really." He insisted and looked at Gabby.
"I'll just wrap it but if it keeps bleeding you're going to the hospital." She said and grabbed a roll of gauze and started to wrap it around his bicep.
"Deal." She sighed and stood up when she was finished. Gabby stood up and pulled off her gloves. "I'm glad your okay." He said pulling her into his side and placing a kiss on the side of her head. He picked his coat up off the ground and they walked downstairs after the others who had already walked out with the victim. When. They got outside Brett and a police officer were trying to hold him to the gurney. Shay walked up to the two.
"Do you want to ride back with truck so you don't have to deal with that idiot?" She asked and Gabby smiled and looked to Matt.
"Can I?" She asked.
"Of course." He told her and they started to walk away.
"Hey what happened to you?" Shay said pointing at Matt's arm.
"He shot me." He said and Shay took his arm to look. "Gabby took care of me." He told her.
"Are you sure this doesn't need stitches?" Shay asked looking at Gabby.
"I think it'll ststop on its own but if not he's going to get stitches." She said and Shay agreed before climbing into the ambulance.
"Come on let's get home." Matt said and started toward the truck as 61 pulled away. Gabby opened the back door but there was no room. The guys has all of their stuff piled on a seat along with extra SCBAs. Matt threw his coat on the piled and patted his leg. "Looks like we need to clean the truck." He laughed and pulled Gabby onto his lap where she could comfortably sit. "But until then this is necessary and we are completely professional. Got it?" Matt said and looked at all of his men who nodded in agreement.
They pulled away and Gabby leaned back into Matt. "Thanks for saving me." She whispered.
"Always." He smiled and squeezed her leg where he had his arm wrapped around her to keep her steady. For the rest of the ride back they laughed with the guys and behaved so they couldn't be accused of being unprofessional.
