"There can't be nothing left to save!" Walsh jumped out of the engine, staring at the shell of a building in front of him, the flames trying to jump to the next building to carry on its havoc.
Walsh directed his firefighters to their roles, keeping a careful eye on the goings on around street. Trying to stop the fire without putting his crew in any more danger.
Carlos jumped in the bus not far behind Bosco and Grace, closing the doors behind him; he looked to Bosco for what they should do now.
"Get us out of here!" Bosco answered the look, pushing Carlos towards the front of the bus.
Carlos made his way as instructed but one of the men passing by, threw a kerosene filled bottle through the driver side window, it smashed and spread the flamed oil into the bus.
Carlos was thrown back as the heat from the attack spread around the front of the bus. Bosco had to reach out and grab the paramedic as the flames spread along the roof at the back.
"Get in and get those people out!" Walsh took full charge, seeing the outbreak of flames in building 501, women screaming from the windows.
"More lines Lieu!" a call came from one of the firefighters.
"On it" Walsh heard the reply as he saw his 'control man' stretch out another length of hose.
The flames were spreading like wildfire, with the firefighters not able to get in and take control of it earlier on, it was inflicting as much damage as possible before it was to be killed off.
Bosco quickly scanned the area through the window, coughing now as the fumes and smoke rapidly filled the bus. "We got to run for it" Bosco coughed out, praying that the people around the bus didn't care for its occupants.
He opened the back door to make their escape, jumping out Bosco pointed in the direction Carlos and Grace should take, as he looked round to check they were safe or at least as safe as they could be, to do so.
Glass could be heard smashing all around, as opportunists looted the stores. Bosco gave a quick glance down the street as he went to join the medics to try and hide down the alley.
Chasing countless suspects through the streets, the police had a tough job trying to regain control. Bystanders looked on not knowing if they should fight or flight
The rival gangs were now out in force, their intent for the moment, was for each other, but now with the police presence, things were set to change. People inside heard the commotion, some staying in but unfortunately others added to the police's problem and ventured outside to join in the mayhem.
"Hands behind your back" Sully was now in no mood to take any crap.
"I was just standing here man," the bandana wearing youth pleaded.
"Yeah and I'm only 100lbs" Sully yanked at the man's cuffed arms and pulled the youth away from the wall, to be loaded up and shipped out.
Picking up Sully's shield Ty handed it back "can only get better Sul"
"Don't push me Davis" Sully huffed.
"Juuurst messing with ya man" Ty smirked, the biggest grin forming across his face.
"NO STOP IT! NO! DO YOU HEAR ME, SHUT UP YOU'RE DRIVING ME MAD" a solitary man sat in the stairwell, listening to the sirens, and the noises of the 'fight night'. This man was already desperate, but the events of the night were now pushing him over.
"This way?" Carlos questioned Bosco, he was trying to get the direction right, he trusted the officer would take care of them in this nightmare situation. Grace stood close to Carlos having grabbed a medic bag before leaving the bus; she wanted to finish cleaning up Bosco's bloodied face.
The only problem for the officer now was, no matter which way they could turn more incidents were breaking out. Their only 'safe' option was the alley and perhaps a building they could go wait in for the situation to calm down.
Ma'am please" Faith stood back, shield held at her side, as yet again the frantic woman let fly with her legs.
"They stabbed my boy, they stabbed my boy" she grabbed at her hair, punched the air and kicked out, ran up the street, ran down the street. The woman didn't know what to do, her life was sent into a spin as she witnessed her young boy being stabbed.
"Oh my God, Oh my God, they stabbed my boy," she cried out.
Faith was trying to calm her down "ma'am please, your son needs you to be calm right now ok, MA'AM!"
The paramedics had been called in, Kim working with Levine, to help the boy. Arriving at the scene with caution, the troubled streets still proving a huge problem for the police, let alone the paramedics.
"Stab wound to left side, he's bradycardic" Kim called out as Levine unwrap the gauze packs.
The medics worked as Faith still struggled to control the distraught mom.
"We are so screwed" Carlos said defeated as they headed down an alley to find refuge.
Bosco checked his back, trying his radio to get help and let them know the situation. "Central 10-13" but all he got back was static. "Where's your radio?" Bosco asked hoping the paramedics could get the message through.
"In there" Carlos said pointing to the burning bus, his face saying it all.
"Dammit" Stamping his foot before bringing his hands up to smooth his hair back "come on" Bosco wanted to get them out of sight of the street.
