-Sept. 11th, 2001-Streets of NYC-9:01-
Syaoran and Eriol kept running towards the towers. They were only about 4 blocks away when they heard it. Both stopped, temporarily out of breath, and looked to the noise. It was in the sky. "A jet? In the city?" Eriol asked to no one in particular.
"Shit. This isn't good." Syaoran whispered. They watched in horror as the plane slammed into the second tower with an explosion. "You don't think..."
"Yeah, I think that one hit the North Tower too. Come on, we shouldn't get closer before we check back in with the station." Eriol said, but Syaoran was already walking through the crowds of people, trying to get to the WTC.
"No! I have to find her." Syaoran yelled back.
-Staircase in the N. Tower- 9:10-
Sakura was stuck on some floor. She had no idea how many flights she had gone down, or how many were left to go. All she knew was she had to get out of there fast, but that just wasn't possible at the moment. She watched as people helped the injured or weak down the stairs. She observed as firemen came up the stairs as fast as they could. She stopped one and asked, "How much longer till I can reach the bottom?"
"You got a while, but don't worry, you'll make it." He said with no emotion, before heading up the stairs, two at a time.
-Streets-9:15-
Syaoran ran until he was close enough to the building that he could see the crowds running out. He wanted to run in, to find where Sakura was, to make sure she was safe. He was about to run across the street, but an officer stopped him. "Li! You need to get to HQ. We need every able bodied man to be at call."
"Look Smith, my fiancee's in there! You gotta let me through, I have to find her." Syaoran pleaded. Eriol caught up.
"Not you too Hiiragizawa, look, you two, go back to HQ. You can find your girls later." Smith said, pushing them away.
"Yeah, come on Syaoran." Eriol said, pulling him away.
"Wait! Smith!" Syaoran called out. He took out his wallet and looked for what was in his mind. "Here." Syaoran said, handing Smith a picture. "If you see her, send her to HQ with someone, please?"
Smith looked at the picture. "She got a name?" Syaoran looked at him. "How can I find her if I don't know her name?"
Syaoran sighed. "Sakura. Thank you Smith, Thank you!" Syaoran said as he and Eriol jumped into a police car and sped off back towards the station.
-Staircase of N. Tower-9:45-
Sakura was getting closer to ground level. Intuition told her that much. Smoke and dust had started to fill the staircase. A guy next to her handed her a handkerchief. "Cover your nose and mouth." He said. "It'll help you breath."
"Thank you." She smiled. "But what about you? Shouldn't you use it?"
"Ladies first."
"Thank you, again." She paused, "So what's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Tobias Jones."
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto. You seem like a nice guy Mr. Jones. I wish we could have met under different conditions."
"Just call me Tobias. May I call you Sakura, and I agree."
"Yes. You may call me Sakura." Suddenly the staircase turned slightly dark, and heavier smoke filled the room. Tobias coughed. "Here," Sakura said, ripping the handkerchief in half, "It's not fair to be selfish."
"Thank you, you're very kind Sakura."
"Thank you Tobias."
"So, what lucky guy gets the hand of a girl like you?" Tobias asked, looking at her ring.
"Oh, my fiancee, Syaoran Li. He's a police officer."
"If you don't mind, I think that once we get out of here, I'm going to make sure you get to him safely."
"Thank you, I'd appreciate that. And I'm sure that Syaoran would too."
-Police HQ- 10:00-
Syaoran walked around nervously looking at the TV constintly. He had just spent 10 minutes standing there in silence as he watched the South Tower fall. 'Somebody up there, please let me get to Sakura. Please?' he begged in prayer as he paced the room. Just then, Eriol entered the room, with Syaoran's uniform. "Gosh, it's been nearly a year since I wore this old thing." Syaoran said, taking the hanger from his friend.
"That's right, cuz after you solved that case about the apartment bomber, you got promoted to Detective. And they don't have to wear the uniforms. So you better dust the thing off. It'll get a lot of use today." Eriol said, already wearing his uniform.
"Don't see a point in dusting off, have you seen it out there?" Syaoran asked, walking into his office to change.
-Doors of the N. Tower- 10:15-
Sakura and her new friend finally made it out of the building, the air was heavily clouded with a thick, gray dust. Sakura coughed a few times. Suddenly, Tobias grabbed her hand as he started to run away from the building, taking Sakura with him. They ran for what seemed 10 minutes, not getting too too far because of the crowds. There was a rumble behind them, they turned quickly, just in time to watch in horror as the N. Tower fell. Tears sprang to Sakura's eyes. Not caused by the dust and smoke. But of the thought, that if she were only minutes slower, she'd have been in the building when it came tumbling to the ground. She let her hand drop, and breathed in a lung full of the dense debris' smoke. Seconds later, she passed out.
-En Route to the Towers- 10:30-
Syaoran had just watched in person, the N. Tower falling. His heart tore, thinking only of Sakura. 'Get your feet on the ground Li!' he yelled mentally. 'You have a real emergency, no, a real crisis on your hands. Get a grip. She'll be fine.' The car he was in pulled closer to the previous spots of the buildings. He jumped out of the car. Maybe Smith had seen her.
-The Streets-10:31-
Tobias carried the unconscious Sakura to the nearest police officer. Maybe he could help. "Excuse me sir." Tobias said.
Smith turned around to the guy in his late 20's. Then he looked at the girl in his arms. "She looks familiar." Smith said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture. "Do you know her name?" Smith asked the guy.
"Yeah, her name is Sakura. I'm Tobias Jones. I don't remember her last name."
"Don't worry Mr. Jones. No name is needed on this girl. It's Li's girl. He wanted me to look for her. Tell ya what," Smith motioned for a police car, and motioned for Tobias to get in with Sakura. "Take her to him. He'll be dead worried." He tapped on the hood of the car, and they sped off towards what was previously HQ.
-Streets-10:40-
In a mad rush Syaoran searched for Smith. He found him helping some old ladies to some ambulences. "SMITH!" he yelled, catching his attention. Another man took over for Smith. Syaoran ran up to him, out of breath under his medical mask. (A/N: ya know, those white mask thingys? Yea....those...) "Have....you....seen...."
"Sakura?" Smith asked, getting a ferious nod from Syaoran. "Yeah, about 10 minutes ago. She was uncouncious at the time. I sent her to HQ to find you."
"HQ? But they changed it. It's not at the station anymore. There were too many people."
"I'm sorry. Don't worry though, at least she's alive."
Syaoran breathed as deep as was safe. "At least for now. Look, gimme something to do. Then I'll find a way to go around to the hospitals and safe places and search for her."
"Ok, here, you can help take blood pressure at the ambulances. I'll try and get someone to cover for you so you can go look."
"Thank you Smith. I owe you."
"I know you do."
-NYC Police Station-11:00-
Tobias walked through the busy doors, carrying Sakura, he was about to ask a woman behind a counter where he could find this Li, when some guy with blue hair approached him. "Sakura!" He said, looking at her in Tobias' arms.
"You know her?" Tobias asked, not really needing an answer. "Are you Li?"
"Heck no. I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa. Syaoran's best friend and co-worker."
"Oh, well can you tell me where I can find Mr. Li?"
"Actually no. He left a while ago to go back to the towers, to find Sakura." Eriol reached down and took her pulse. It was normal, but she was still unconcious. "We should take her to a medical center. And quick."
"I agree."
"All right, come on. We can take a car." Eriol said, grabbing keys to squad car #203 and heading out the side door.
-NYC Emergency Medical Center-11:25-
Sakura had just been given a room, which she shared with many other people when Eriol's phone rang. Eriol went outside the room to answer. "Hello?" he asked.
"Eriol?"
"Syaoran?"
"Have you seen Sakura?"
"Yes, we're...Syaoran?" Eriol said, as he heard Syaoran's phone cut out. Eriol sighed and walked back into the room, "Mr. Jones?" Tobias looked up from his chair. "Can you watch her until I find Syaoran?" Tobias nodded 'yes'. "Thanks. I'll send him here ASAP. Bye." Eriol ran out of the room, down the hall, down the stairs, out the doors, and to his car at lightning speed. He had to find Syaoran.
