Team Three and Sarge flinched and gasped as they heard the explosion.

"JULES!" Sarge had to be physically restrained by Team Three as the firefighters rushed to check out the damage. Donna turned Sarge around and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him gently.

"Sarge, I know it's hard, but give them a minute, ok? We'll get her out of there, alright? She's strong." Sarge, unable to speak, nodded, and turned away. he then spoke into his mic.

"Syd, recall Team One. Page them 10-33 and our location."

"Copy that, Sarge. Keep me posted, ok?"

"Will do." Sarge sighed, and then ran over to one of the firefighters.

"My teammate's in there. Let me go in and help her."

"Sir, I understand, but one of the main supports has cracked and is blocking the main hallway. Until that is secure, nobody can go in or they could be crushed. We're gonna need three to four hours to clear it."

"Damn it," Sarge muttered as he ran a hand over his face, "Is there any other way in?'

"The basement entrance is collapsed sir, I'm sorry, but it's not safe."

"I honestly don't care whether it's safe or not, there is a future Sargent in there, a protector of this city who's like a daughter to me. Get her out of there, or leave and let SRU handle it. Understood?"

"Y-Yes sir, we'll start digging right away." The now scared firefighter said, running towards his team and giving orders.

"SARGE!" Sarge turned around, and sighed in relief when he saw his own team sprinting towards him in full gear.

"Guys, took you long enough."

"10-33? Who?" asked Ed, a look of fury on his face.

"Jules."

"WHAT?" was the simultaneous yells from his team, who were instantly worried for their little sister.

"What the hell happened?!" asked Spike, looking towards the building that still had smoke pouring out of it. He gulped, and turned back.

"And where is she now?" added Sam, worried for his wife.

"She's trapped on either the first or second floor. Firefighters are working on it now. There's a main wall that collapsed so they're clearing and stabilizing it for us. We were doing overtime with Team Three and there was a bomb. Jules went to try and diffuse it but by the time she got to it, there was only seven seconds to detonation."

"Damn..." They all muttered, "Wait isn't there another way in?" asked Spike hopefully looking at his PDA for floorplans.

"Basement entrance is caved as well." Sarge said with a sigh, taking out his phone and calling Syd. When he saw the questioning looks on the teams faces, he muttered, "Jules has friends visiting. They should know." Into the phone he said "Syd? I need a phone number for a Hotel. Check Jules phone, I think she called it today."

"Got the number Sarge, patching you through now."

"Hilton Hotel, how can I help you?"

"This is Sargent Greg Parker with the Police Strategic Response Unit. I need to know if any Officers have visited this hotel in the past two days."

"Umm...yes, one Jules Callaghan visited a Jason Lee Scott and his friends, why?"

"I need you to patch me through to mister Scott right away please."

"Of course."

Sarge heard ringing and then Jason picking up.

"Jason, this is Sargent Parker, Jules' boss. We have a bit of a situation here. Jules was diffusing a bomb and she got caught in the blast." He could hear Jason cursing, and moving around.

"Is she ok?"

"We're not sure, she's trapped inside the building. Firefighters are working as fast and careful as they can, but it's not looking good. You and your crew wanna come down here?"

"Yeah, we'll be right down."

"OK, I'm gonna send over an officer to escort you guys over there."

"Get my sister outta there Sargent Parker."

"See you soon."

(W/Jules, trapped in rubble)

Jules groaned as she sat up, ignoring the pain throbbing in her head. She looked around, and cursed as she realized where she was. She found her headset, frowning when she saw it was busted. She heard footsteps, and looked up, hoping to see someone she recognized.

But what she saw was much worse.

"No...way..." She started backing up quickly, hoping to the heavens that she was dreaming.

"Long time no see, Ms. Pinky."

"O-Ooze?! But how? T-The Ryan's comet...you exploded!"

"Don't sound so surprised Kimmy. My Ooze was spread across the galaxy. I puled myself together, and with the help of some very old friends, I have finally launched the first of many steps in my revenge against you and the rest of your team," he sneered, disgusted at the term, "and now you will suffer in here as a warning signal to your friends to surrender themselves. And if they don't...well, it won't be my body in the explosion. Have a good day Kimmy!"

Ooze disappeared, dropping a note to the other rangers as he did so. Jules started shaking as the severity of the situation hit her. She needed to get out of there, and fast. She got up, about to start looking for a way out. One step, and she screamed in pain as she went down, hitting her head on a beam as she did so. Turning over on her back, she tried to stay awake as she planned her next move. Her head started pounding, and she couldn't keep her eyes open.

Jules, was down for the count.
