A/N – I don't own Chicago Fire or any of the characters, just borrowing them for the purpose of this story.
Slowly waking up, JJ can feel intense pain and it takes all her time to not scream, moving her hands to her head she can feel a bump and blood pouring down her face, trying to focus she can hear Sylvie screaming.
"Sylvie focus on my voice, where do you hurt?"
"Everywhere, I can't breath"
"Sylvie listen to me, slow deep breathes" JJ suddenly gasps "Oh my god"
"What? What is it JJ?"
"It's nothing really, honestly"
JJ tries not to cry out in pain whilst looking for her radio, Sylvie is getting more and more distressed as time goes on, JJ turns to Sylvie and finds her covered in blood and the front of Ambo crushing her both their legs.
"61 to main we've been involved in a collision, 61 out of service damaged beyond repair. PIC Brett and Paramedic Johnson trapped and needing assistance"
"Main to 61, we'll get someone out to you, any other people involved?"
"Affirmative, 61 struck by a truck status of truck driver unknown"
"Acknowledged 61, standby"
Standby what else can they do? JJ turns to Sylvie, as best she could, Sylvie's gone quiet very quiet, JJ panics and screams Sylvie's name.
"Don't you dare Sylvie, don't you dare"
"I'm OK, just struggling to breathe" Sylvie attempts to turn to look at JJ "How are you?"
JJ laughs and then regrets it "I shouldn't have done that"
"Where does it hurt?"
"Chest and my knee hurts"
Meanwhile over at 51 the day is going about as normal, well as normal as they thought possible, Gallo and Ritter getting on to cleaning.
"Engine 51, Truck 81, Squad 3, Battalion 25, Ambo 20, Ambo 13, Ambo 18, Road traffic collision corner of Rangeview and Collins"
51 ran to their rigs, Truck and Squad first, followed by Engine and Boden.
"Sev? Why hasn't Ambo 61 been assigned to this scene?"
"Capp they're probably still dealing with their well-being check"
"Of course, I forgot"
Tony starts coming near to the accident site and that's when he sees 61, smoking and the whole of the front bent in and the right side partly squashed in.
"Severide look, it's 61"
Severide looks up and as soon as the Squad stops he's out of the rig shouting Brett and JJ's name, 81 pulls up next and Casey takes control of the scene until Boden and Engine 51 arrive ironically stuck behind a slow moving truck.
"Truck 81 take control of the truck, Squad 3 take Ambo 61"
"Cruz, Capp, Tony grab everything we've got and get to 61"
Within minutes Squad 3 were assessing the best course of action to get Sylvie and JJ out of wreck of 61. Severide realising they'll have to wait for Engine 51, 61 was leaking gas all over the road.
"JJ, Brett call out"
"Kelly we're pinned in" JJ answers groaning in pain "Sylvie's covered in blood, struggling to breathe and pinned in by her legs"
"You never mentioned yourself"
"I feel as if I've had the wind knocked out of me and my right knee is killing me. I'm more concerned about Brett" JJ looks at Sylvie who's now slumped over "No, no, no Brett don't you dare, Severide what's taking so long?"
"JJ we've got to wait for Engine to arrive, 61's dumping gas"
"Severide please this can't happen again" JJ starts crying "Brett please stay with me"
Engine finally arrives, Herrmann notices the state of 61.
"RITTER! Get a hose on 61, now"
Ritter got on the task, even though he was dying inside worrying about JJ and of course Brett, but more so JJ he classed her as his sister.
Once Ritter had the hose directed at 61, Severide reassessed the situation with 61, Cruz had took out the windows on the passenger side and drivers side so that JJ and Brett could be easily accessed.
"Casey what's the status on the truck driver?"
"DOA" Casey looked over at Stella "Kidd take the jaws of life and help Squad"
Stella runs to 61 and stops beside Severide holding onto her Halligan and handing Severide the jaws of life.
"So what's the plan?"
"Cruz and Tony will get Brett, me and Capp will get JJ"
"What am I meant to do?"
"Grab C collars from Ambo 20 and 18"
Stella jogged to 20 and 18 grabbing the C collars and came back handing Cruz one of the collars and holding the other.
"Severide seriously what is taking so long?"
"JJ remain calm, we're trying to get you both out at the same time"
"Well got on with it, this can't happen again"
Boden stands with Severide who watches Cruz and Stella put the C collars on Brett and JJ, Boden nods and Kelly steps forward.
"Cruz you ready?"
"Yes Lieutenant"
"Stella place your Halligan right there I want a purchase point" Stella moves over and places her Halligan in the gap "Capp strike"
Capp and Stella work together to free JJ, just as Cruz and Tony's working together to get Sylvie out.
"Hold" Kelly lifts the jaws of life and places it in the gap, Cruz doing the same passenger side.
"We need the backboards over here"
"On it Chief" Hermann grabs the backboard from Ambo 20, as Gallo grabs the backboard from 18.
"Lieutenant"
"What Cruz?"
"Brett's trapped by her legs we can't move her"
"Damn it, JJ's the same"
"Casey we need the hydraulic rams"
"On it Chief"
"Kelly please get Sylvie out first" JJ groans loudly and then gasped for air "I need...I can't breathe"
"Mikami oxygen now!"
Violet Mikami from Ambo 20 runs to the drivers side and places the mask on JJ's face, JJ pulls at the mask.
"JJ you need this" Violet demands holding the mask in place "Brett's got a mask on too, Ambo 18 have got her, now I've got you"
Casey appeared with the rams, passing one to Cruz and handing the other to Capp, Ambo 13 already transporting the deceased truck driver to Med, this meant that the whole of 51 watched as Kelly and Cruz putting the Hydraulic rams in pace.
The Hydraulic rams started moving the dashboard off JJ and Brett's legs, everything seems fine until.
"Lieutenant"
Severide looks up at Ritter, seeing that the gas under Ambo 61 has caught fire, he jumps at the drivers side gathers JJ in his arms and pulls her out, Cruz looks up at Severide's back and then the fire around the dashboard of 61, five seconds after Kelly pulls JJ from the rig, Cruz brings Brett out. Both men move away from 61 and stand beside each other holding JJ and Brett.
Violet comes towards Kelly with the backboard and the gurney, Kelly places JJ gently on the backboard and finally notices the dislocation to JJ's right knee, Violet also notices and is surprised at how quiet JJ is.
"JJ you've got a dislocation to your patella how are you so calm right now?"
"Sylvie? Is Sylvie OK?"
"She's with Ambo 18, she's OK, she's safe"
"Thank you Kelly" "OH MY GOD"
"There it is" Violet looks to her partner "15 of Fentanyl, now"
"JJ calm deep breathes" Stella strokes JJ's head "Casey's got Sylvie so I've got you"
"JJ I'm going to put your knee back in, I'm not going to lie this is going to hurt"
"Just do it"
Violet cuts the right pant leg of JJ's work trousers up to her thigh, the bruises and scratches evident on her leg, Stella grabs JJ's hand in preparation of what was about to come, noticing that Ambo 18 was already on its way with Sylvie to Med, turning back to Violet she nodded her head to continue.
Violet grabbed JJ's leg and pulled her knee back into place, JJ screams out in pain grabbing Stella and pulling Stella down.
"JJ I know you're hurting but you really need to let go so you can go to Med"
" I don't want to go to Med" JJ grabbing at her oxygen mask and C collar "Let me go"
Ritter runs up and stops JJ from doing anything else rubbing her face "JJ? Hey sister I know you don't want to go to Med, but you have injuries that need seeing too, so stop being so bloody stubborn"
Mouch comes over and holds JJ's left hand "JJ honey you need to listen to Violet, you'll not be alone, you've got Stella"
"I want you" JJ looks up at Mouch "Please I want you and Trudy"
Mouch looks towards Boden who nods, Violet gets JJ in the back of Ambo 20 and speeds of to Med on arrival they can see Ambo 18 pushing Sylvie in to Med followed by Casey, Ambo 20's doors are opened, Mouch steps down followed by Violet and JJ the gurney.
Moving into Med Violet is greeted by Natalie.
" Jessica Johnson 29 year old female involved in a RTC, given oxygen on scene. Dislocation to right patella, put back in place after given 15 of Fentanyl" Violet looks down at JJ "Haven't been able to do anything else as she's very distressed"
"Well at least she can't walk away from me this time"
"Bite me"
Violet bites her lip trying not to laugh "Good luck"
Natalie smiles and pushes JJ away and into exam room 4, JJ shouting any insults Natalie's way the Fentanyl definitely taking hold.
Violet turns around to find the rest of 51 arriving and sitting down in the waiting area, Mouch stood waiting for any news, Trudy ran in and pulled Mouch and then Ritter into a hug, both men starting to cry.
A/N 2- Well this took some writing, I tried searching for the correct technical and terminology of how victim's are helped out of wrecked vehicles, I hope that I've done it correctly. I'm also trying to write this story as a writer from the UK but using American words for example: Pants in America in the UK its Trousers. Anyway the next chapter will be challenging for me as I'm going to have to study the correct medical terminology for the injuries that JJ and Brett received.
