Chapter Two
Unaware of what just happened at the station, the rest of the relief were having a great time.
"Shouldn't Kel be here by now?" Honey asked. "And the rest?"
"They are probably still at the warehouse." Gary answered. "You know what DS McAllister is like."
"I suppose so." Honey replied.
On the other side of the room, June was talking to Jim when her phone rang.
"Hello." June said. "Tony is that you."
"June, can you put the Super on please." Tony said quickly. "Now, it's very important."
"Okay?" June said and went and found Adam.
"Tony what's wrong?" Adam asked. "Did the obbo go wrong?"
"Sir, there's been an explosion at the station." Tony managed to choke out. "It's bad."
"WHAT." Adam gasped. "Is everyone…..are they….is everyone okay?"
"I'm fine, just a bit sore." Tony started. "Debbie is having a bit of trouble breathing but other than that she's fine. We were on the edge of the explosion. Ken wasn't near the blast, but he's gone back inside. Phil, Kelly and Andrea are still missing."
"Where about did it happen?" Adam asked shocked.
"In custody, but no one was there except for us." Tony replied. "We didn't get anyone from the obbo."
"That doesn't matter now." Adam said. "All that matters is that everyone is okay."
"I've called the fire station and the ambulances." Tony said. "And they should be here in a couple of minutes."
"I'll be right over after I've told everyone." Adam said quickly. "See you then."
"Can I have you attention please?" Adam said once he had gotten hold of a microphone. "Be quiet everyone."
Everyone did finally shut up in the end.
"I hate to have to tell you this." Adam started. "But there was an explosion at the station."
Silence, everyone was in shock.
"Is…are…are…is everyone okay." Honey asked.
"Ken is fine, he wasn't near the explosion." Adam started. "Tony and Debbie were on the edge of the explosion and they will be okay. But Phil, Andrea and Kelly are still missing. Ken has gone back inside to see if he can find them."
"I can't believe this is happening again." June said to Jim. "Where was the explosion, sir?"
"It destroyed the whole of custody and luckily there were no one except for the six there." Adam replied. "I'm just about to go over there."
"I'm coming with you." June said.
"Me too." Honey added.
"And me." Smithy piped up.
"And I'll come." Sam said.
"Okay, the rest of you can go home or stay here." Adam said. "Inspector Gold will stay here and I'll keep her up dated. Right you lot lets go."
When Adam, Honey, June, Smithy and Sam arrived at the station, fire-fighters were trying to put out the blaze and the paramedics were tending to the victims.
"Oh god." Honey gasped when she saw the blaze. "I can't believe it."
"Tony, are you alright?" June asked worriedly, as Tony walked up to them. "What about the others."
"I'm fine." Tony replied. "Debbie is in the ambulance, she'll be fine. Ken's okay and he managed to find Phil. Phil in unconscious, but should be okay. And Andrea and Kelly are still missing. The fire-fighters are looking for them now, but it doesn't look good."
"Okay, can you tell me what happened?" Adam asked.
"We'll go and check on Debbie, Phil and Ken." Sam, Smithy and Honey said.
"I'll stay here." June added.
"Well all I can say is Debbie and I were about to step outside." Tony started. "When there was this very loud bang. My reaction was to get down low, so I pulled Debbie down to the ground with me. Once all the smoke cleared up, Ken rushed up to us and the rest is history."
"Okay, do you know where Kelly and Andrea were" June asked.
"No, I knew Phil wasn't too far behind us." Tony answered. "I suppose they were still getting changed."
"Thanks, Tony." Adam said. "Now I want you to go to the hospital and get checked out and than go home. You can make your formal statement tomorrow."
"But, sir." Tony said.
"No buts it's an order." Adam said. "June go with him and drive him home after wards."
