Florence and I stepped inside the burning building. When I first
stepped in, a wave of hot smoke rushed down my throat and into her lungs.
My first reaction was to start coughing. And so I did.
"Kim, you have to keep you oxygen mask on at all times." Florence explained motioning at his own mask.
"Oh, what, yeah." I said absentminded.
I was so determined to find Alex. I just had to. I couldn't let anything happen to her. Alex was my best friend. Alex helped me in that last fire; she was the one who saved my live, and I just had to do the same. Kim crawled up a passageway and around a corner. Come on Alex, you have to be around somewhere. Come on.
The heat was getting more intense every step I took. I'd have to find Alex soon. There was barely any time left. If I didn't find Alex soon, I would have to leave and go back out, empty handed.
"Kim, it's been twenty minutes. Come back outside now" said a voice from my radio.
"No, not yet. I haven't found Alex yet."
" I don't care. You aren't properly trained. We'll get Jimmy to find her. Come one, we need you out here" came the voice from my captain. He was always quite persuasive.
"Fine, but tell Jimmy to find her right away, or I'm not coming out."
I walked out of the building a few moments later, with, Florence holding me up. I was ready to collapse with all the heat that had gotten into me.
"Doc, over here!" The captain shouted as he spotted me wheezing on the ground.
"I-is Alex alright?" I asked wheezing.
"We haven't gotten her out yet," Doc stated " Come on, keep this oxygen mask on. Breath slowly, come on, now."
After I got all fixed up, I was told to go to the hospital to let the doctors look at me, but of course I said no and that I wanted to stay and wait for Alex.
Finally Jimmy came out carrying a limp body in a paramedic uniform. It was Alex.
"MEDIC! I need a medic over here!" he screamed out.
Carlos and Doc scrambled over with their equipment and laid Alex on the backboard. They worked on her for about five minutes and then proceeded to lift her into the ambulance.
"No, this can't be right. Come on Alex." Carlos was muttering to himself. Everyone knew that Carlos liked Alex.
"D-doc, she's not progressing" he said hesitantly.
They finally reached the hospital.
"30 year old paramedic collapsed in a burning building. No trace of pulse." Doc stated to the doctors.
The two paramedics stood there in shock. One of their fellow paramedics was on the gurney fighting for her live. Not another one. This had already happen to Bobby. They couldn't lose another one.
