A Family Life
Chapter 16
(In Scott's point a view)
When I had arrived I could see that Virgil had made a start with helping out with the medics, I could just make out both Mum and Jo in the Ambulance with Scotty. As soon as TB2 had landed I made my way over to them.
"Hey Scott, so what is the plan?" Asked Alan
"Well I want TB2 set up as a triage area to treat any victims that arrive in, so I want both Lisa and Tin-Tin to get the sickbay sorted. Alan you and I are going to search for any victims, Virgil is already at work with helping out as a medic. We need to free Ambulance 61 there Gordon so why don't you go over to them to transfer Scotty into here?"
"Okay Scott I will do that now." Said Gordon who walked over to 61 to explain what they are planning to do.
"Right Alan lets go and join Squad 3 there and see where they want us to start looking." I said as we made our way over to them.
"Hey my name is Lieutenant Kelly Severide, I believe that you will be helping us out here to search for the victims?"
"Yes we are my name is Scott and this is Alan, where do you want us?"
"If you just follow us in there but be very careful. This bomb went off and took out most of the ED. We still have people trapped including people that were waiting to get treated."
Once we arrived into the ED, we had found a lot of people, Alan had gone to help with getting a lot of them out. As I was coming out myself I thought that I saw a little girl heading under a table. She looked to be about 5 years old so I made my way over to her.
"Hey my name is Scott, what's your name?" Once I had asked that she didn't say anything, she just hid herself more under the table. No soon had a got under there with her that the roof started falling in and this wee girl hugged me tight.
"Alan Tracy to Scott Tracy come in."
"Hey Alan I'm okay but I am trapped with a little girl under a table here, the roof came in while I was trying to rescue her."
"Okay Scott hang tight and we will get to you, is the little girl alive?"
"Yes, she is Alan but very shy Alan just get us out of here."
"Okay Scott we will be with you soon, Alan Tracy out."
(In Alan's point a view)
As soon as Scott had told me that he was trapped, I didn't want to worry Virgil and Gordon because I knew that they were busy. I seen that Squad 3 were working next to me and could tell that I had a worried look about me.
"Are you okay Alan? You look a bit shell shocked there." Asked Cruz.
"I don't know Scott went back into check that everyone was out, only he came across a wee girl hiding under a table. So he went to get her out when the roof came down. My other co workers are busy could you give me a hand with getting them out?"
"Sure no problem where are they trapped?"
"In the ED waiting room, I can keep calling him to see how he is doing"
"Okay everyone we know that this International Rescue is trapped in this waiting area along with a little girl, let's get through this rubble and get these people out. Alan can you see if you can get through to your co. Worker and keep him talking for us? So that we can get to him. Alright people let's move" Said Severide.
"Alan Tracy calling Scott Tracy you still with me Scott?"
"Still here Alan, Did you get help to get us out of here? I don't want to lose another child Alan, I can see that her parents are dead."
"Scott did you catch this wee girls name and age?"
"Yeah Alan her name is LeAnne and she is five years old."
"Okay Scott we will get you out of there, I have Squad 3 with me to help me out here. We will get to you and just keep talking to us."
"Alan do the others know?"
"No I just left them to get on with their jobs, we will be getting you both out of here. I don't think that they need to know about this."
"Okay Alan whatever you say."
"Please Scott keep talking to me, we need to know where you are. I had kept Scott talking long enough so that we could find him, once we got close enough I called out for Scott again to call back out to me. While all this was happening Gordon had called through to me.
"Gordon Tracy to Alan or Scott Tracy come in guys."
"Go ahead Gordon."
"Are you two alright? Because we haven't heard anything from the two of you in ages."
"Sorry Gordon, I didn't want to worry you but Scott had went back in again to rescue at little girl who was hiding under a table. The roof came in and he is trapped."
"Is he okay Alan?"
"He is fine, I have been speaking to him while Squad 3 are looking for them. I knew that you and our other co worker would be busy so I was able to find Squad 3 as my backup. We are working on getting Scott out. Just carry on with what you are doing your end and I will keep you updated."
"No problem Alan speak to you soon, Gordon Tracy out."
While I was talking to Gordon, Squad 3 had located Scott and was heading into get him. We reached the waiting area and I started to shout so my older brother could hear me. It didn't take long for Scott to shout back to me.
"Alan I am over here?"
"Okay Scott keep calling out, we need to know where you are." I called out, I knew that we were getting close because Scott's voice became that bit closer. Once we had seen Scott Squad 3 started to help pull Scott out. I took the little girl to TB2 once I got in there I seen that both Virgil and Jo were helping out. I couldn't understand why they were helping when Dad told them not too.
"Hey Alan who do we have here then?"
"This is LeAnne and she is five years old, she was trapped under a table. Scott went in after her and he also go trapped. So, he will be in here any minute." At this point Lisa had called Virgil over.
'Hey Lisa who is this you have this time?"
"This is the little girl that Scott rescued and she is five years old." As Lisa was explaining this to my brother I could see that something was wrong with Virgil, he looked really shocked after Lisa had called him over. So I pulled him aside to ask what was wrong.
"What is wrong?" As soon as I brought this little girl in you zoom out on us here, what is going on?"
"Alan please tell me that you didn't notice who that little girl looks like?"
"Why should I have known?"
"Alan that wee girl LeAnne she is Scott's daughter because I can see our brother in." said Virgil.
"I can remember Dad telling us about Scott but why would he want to give up his own daughter?" I had asked Virgil, but I somehow knew that not all of us were told the whole story about what had happened.
"Okay I will go and deal with LeAnne, why don't you go and help Gordon to try and wrap everything up here? I had a chat with the chef and he seems happy that we have done our bit." Explained Virgil.
"Can I ask you one more question before I go?"
"Sure what is it?"
"How come that you are working? I thought that Dad didn't want you working with us."
"Alan relax I am only here as a trained E.M.T. And nothing more, so I wouldn't be working with you guys."
"But how come that you ended up in here of all places?"
"Alan would you please stop with all the questions and go and get on with your job, Scott put me in charge so just do as I tell you." Said Virgil after he had said that to me Scott came into TB2 with the guy called Kelly Severide.
"Hey here is your man, he says that he is fine that he isn't in pain, but I can tell that his arm has been damaged. We are happy enough to let you go after you have seen to everyone here."
Virgil had gone over to deal with Scott, now that LeAnne was safe. I made my way over to my brothers to speak to them.
"Are you okay Alan?"
"I am fine Scott but I think there is someone in here that you need to meet, that wee girl who you found well Scott you should have known her."
"What do you mean Alan?" Asked Scott with a confused look on his face. At that moment Lisa choose to walk round to Scott with LeeAnne in his arms.
"Oh my God, I had spent the whole three and a half hours trapped in that rubble with my own daughter how could I not have seen that before?"
"Look Scott now that things are calming down a bit, I need to head up to cockpit to see how Jo is getting on with Scotty. We had no where else to put him and it was Gordon's idea to put Scotty up there. Dr Manning has paged the heart doctor."
"Is there anything wrong?" Asked Lisa who handed LeAnne over to Scott who had fallen asleep when she was put into his arms.
"Scotty's heart rate has dropped and she is worried, we had signed forms for his operation to happen but there isn't any where to do it now. That has me worried."
"Virgil you have all the equipment in TB2 why doesn't the heart doctor do the operation in here? Alan, I need you to fly TB1 home, now that LeeAnne is a sleep I don't want to leave her now." Said Scott was we saw going coming down from the cockpit.
"Gordon is there anything wrong?"
"You need to go up to the cockpit now, Jo needs you it's something to do with Scotty." Said Gordon as we saw Virgil leave to head up there.
"Gordon I need you to stay here, once this operation is over I want you to get TB2 in the air and then let Virgil take over."
"But what about Tracy one?"
"I will make a few calls to get it stored somewhere" said Scott as I left to get TB1 ready for going home.
