When they arrived on scene, there were 4 cars clogging the entire street. 2 were on fire, and 2 were empty. Davis and Sully had pedestrians back as Bosco pulled up behind the truck. Moving the other side of the streets pedestrians, keeping a close eyes on his sister. The firefighters jumped out as the 2 Busses pulled up. Jimmy grabbed the Jaws of Life as DK and Walsh got the hose and hooked it up. Mercedes made her way to one of the cars and looked in seeing a family.
"Is everyone conscious?" She looked into the car. There was a mother driving, and 2 kids in the back. The lady was unconscious and the 2 kids were shaking, crying.
"My mommy!" The little boy cried out. Carlos and Doc ran up to her as she looked in back to see if there was anyone else.
"Your mommy's gunna be fine. Are you all right?"
"I think so." The little boy looked up at her.
"Good." She tried to open the door, but it was crushed too much and she couldn't get it open. Jumping over the trunk, she tried the other door, but couldn't get to it since it was crushed against the other car. Moving to the available window, she looked in.
"I am going to have to smash the window. Cover your heads." The boys acknowledged by ducking down. Mercedes used her elbow and shattered the glass, reaching inside and trying to pry it open.
"It's stuck. Pass me C-Collar. I'm going to secure their necks and then pull them out." Doc passed her collar and she leaned in, putting the first collar around the boy's neck.
"You ready to get pulled out?" She unbuckled his seatbelt and put her arms under his.
"Ok" the little boy waited as Mercedes pulled him out, passing him to Carlos. Carlos laid him down and checked him, tagging him under yellow. Mercedes still hadn't gotten a response from the 2nd boy in the car.
"Hey! Answer me, are you all right?" She leaned further in and put the second collar around his neck. She saw blood coming from his head.
"Possible concussion, open lac on the forehead! He's unconscious. I'm pulling him out now!" Mercedes leaned back and slowly pulled him out, keeping his back straight. She got him out and laid him down as Doc started to look him over.
"Jimmy! I got a pinned woman over here! She's bleeding form the head and mouth! Get her out now!" Mercedes ran to the second car as DK and Walsh were putting out the fire on the first car. She saw it was flipped over. She kneeled, looking in to see if anyone was inside. What she saw made her fall back.
"Mo!" Mercedes cried out as Bosco heard her, running over.
"It's dad!" Mercedes looked in and saw her semi-conscious father. Bosco looked in and nodded, not really caring right now.
"Yeah.leave him there."
"I can't!" She leaned in and slid over the broken glass on the roof so she could see him.
"Anthony! Can you hear me?"
"Oh, god, you of all people."
"Eat shit. Can you move?"
"Does it matter?"
"Yes! I got to get you out of here."
"Just go away; go get a cat out of a tree."
"Look, you can either cooperate, or I can leave here to blow up."
"Leave me here."
"Don't tempt me. Instant death is too good for you." She heard a small explosion above her head where the undercarriage was and shuddered.
"You got 5 seconds! ANSWER ME!"
"No. I can't move, my legs are pinned." 'Good, slow torture' Mercedes thought to herself.
"I'll be right back. I need to get a collar and the hose." She slid out slowly, and looked up, standing. Looking at Bosco.
"I need to get a hose line to put out that fire. We can't get him out with the threat of an explosion. You can go back to crowd patrol."
"All right." Bosco moved away back to Monroe.
"DK! Over here! I need you to put this out." She started to move towards him as the entire car blew up. She heard the crackle and then felt the force of the explosion, sending her forward and to the ground. The squad ran over to get her and they sat her up. Looking over, she had a scrape on her cheek. She saw her father's car in flames and sighed.
Bosco ran over and checked his sister and then looked in the car. His father was dead.
"Mercedes, are you all right?" Doc and Carlos kneeled beside her and looked her over. Just staring at the car she made one comment.
"Fitting end for a bastard who wouldn't accept treatment from his own child."
"Is everyone conscious?" She looked into the car. There was a mother driving, and 2 kids in the back. The lady was unconscious and the 2 kids were shaking, crying.
"My mommy!" The little boy cried out. Carlos and Doc ran up to her as she looked in back to see if there was anyone else.
