Chief Boden looked as the doors swung open at the common room, the gang walking in with their guns. Without any warning, they shot around on the floor. Pouch was just in time with jumping onto the couch and Mouch grabbed her, the dog shaking.

''What is this?'' Boden said then.

''hands up chief, hands up all of you!'' The leader said and Boden did so, the rest holding up their hands as well.

''You don't want to do this-'' Boden said softly.

''yes, I do! You deserve this, you have to pay for what you did!'' The boy said angrily.

''I am sorry we couldn't save your friend, but if I had send my men in, there would be even more deaths and I had to make the wisest decision possible at that moment.'' Boden said calmly. For a second the boy seemed to hesitate, his gun shaking for a moment but he looked even angrier then.

''He was not my friend, he was my little brother!'' He said angry then. It was silent for a minute and Mouch was still holdign Pouch, but wanted the dog to get out of here as soon as possible.

''Come on, go girl. Go fast.'' Mouch whispered then as he put Pouch on the ground.

Mouch let go of Pouch and looked as the dog ran away.

''Well, the dog escaped.'' One said as Pouch passed them, but they didn't try to catch her.

''What, you wanted to shoot a dog?'' Mouch said angry.

''Look at this guy, cares so much about a dog but not about a human trapped in a building.''

It was silent again.

''Enough talking.'' The leader said then and before the others even realized what happened, he started shooting.

Brett was still crying, wanting to get up but Borelli held her down.

''Grab your radio.'' He whispered then.

She shook her head under his hand and finally he removed his hand.

''It's on the dashboard, I can't reach it.'' She whispered as softly as possible.

''Okay, listen to me. We are going to get out of this, but we need to warn somebody.'' he said then and she nodded.

''And you are going to run out. You are going to grab that radio, run out and just run, no matter what happens, when you are far enough, radio the police and the CFD.'' Jimmy said softly and she nodded.

''What about you.''

''I am staying here, I am going to try to get to whoever is wounded.''

She nodded slowly then and Jimmy looked through the back window.

''Okay, on the count of three.''

At three she crawled back at the front, still silent and grabbed the radio, climbing over the passenger seat then and she took a deep breath before opening the door, but she opened it then, jumping out and running out as quick as she could. On the driveway, she did not even look back inside the firehouse.

As she was down the block she finally stopped and grabbed the radio.

''We need police back up right now, there is a shooting going on in the firehouse.'' She cried then, finally looking back, but far enough away and she saw Jimmy was sneaking out now as well, but instead he was making his way to the back of the firehouse, wondering what he was going to do.

Gabby and Matt were silent in the locker room when they suddenly heard yelling.

''What was that?'' Gabby asked concerned and frowning she got up.

''I don't know, let's go check it out - and Gabby, we are okay...just...we have to be careful on the job, right?'' He said and she nodded, totally agreeing with him because she knew he was right. She had been out of line and she knew that. For just a second, she laid her hand on his shoulder, standing on her toes and kissing him on the jaw quickly as they wanted to walk on back to the common room. They were almost at the hallway when they suddenly heard the sound of bullets being fired.

Immediately Matt pulled her back to the lockers and looked around the corner.

''They are in here, shooting.'' He said softly as he pushed her back to the lockers.

''Matt we have to help them!'' She hissed back but quickly he opened his locker then.

''Come on, get in there, I need you to be safe.'' He said softly.

''No Matt, you are not going to safe me while you and the others are in danger!'' She said then, trying to push him away.

''Gabby please!'' He said softly and she looked his in his eyes then and finally she got into the locker, scared and shaking. She had her hand in front of her mouth, trying to stay calm but even though she tried to keep her breathing down, her chest was rising up and down so fast she was scared that they would still hear her when they came in here.

There were footsteps coming to the locker room and she hoped that Matt had time enough to hide as well.

She heard the footsteps come closer.

Brett was still standing outside, she hated how she was safe now while the others were still in danger. She wanted the others to be safe as well, not just her and if any of the others would get hurt, she wasn't sure if she would be able to look in the mirror at herself.

But at least police back up should be here any minute and she just hoped that the police would go in before there would be any victims.

Suddenly Pouch came running towards her as well and she knelt down, hugging and petting the dog, so happy to see her

''Hey, Pouch, come here.'' She said, holding the dog close, trying to keep her tears from flowing but as she was holding the dog she was so scared for the others, she could no longer keep her tears from streaming down her cheeks.

Gabby was still in the locker, trying to be as silent as possible.

Even though the locker was not fully closed as she barely fit inside there, she just hoped that they would not see her.

''What are you doing here?'' She heard an unfamiliar voice.

''I was grabbing something from my locker.''

She heard Matt knock on the locker beside the one she was in.

''Hey hands up!'' She heard then and she hoped Matt was doing what he said, gosh, she could not lose him.

''Who are you?''

''I am the lieutenant of truck.''

''Where you supposed to go in there?''

Oh, she could only hope that Matt would deny and give the right answer.

''I - I should have gone in there, but it was not safe to go in there any-''

A gunshot sounded in the locker room and she tried not to scream. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Silent she sat there as the footsteps walked away and when she heard nothing anymore, she finally dared to say something.

''Matt?'' She asked fearfully. All she wanted now was for him to reply, to let her know that it was not him that had been shot. She heard a couch then and she knew it was Matt.

''I - I am fine.'' He said and she sighed relieved. She opened the door a bit, saw nothing.

Finally she got out of the locker, seeing Matt stand there. She wanted to hug him, so scared about what had just happened. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she walked his way when she suddenly sat the blood streaming from under his hand that he was holding against his chest.

''Matt, you are bleeding.'' She cried as she walked his way.

He removed his hand, the blood streaming through of his shirt freely now as his legs crumbled under him and he fell to the ground.

''Oh no, no no Matt!'' She cried as she sat down by him, pulling his shirt up as she looked at the wound in his chest.

Scared that he had been hit in the heart she tried to see it from what she could see now, but he was bleeding heavily and she could barely see anything.

''Matt, Matt!'' She said as his eyes were closing and she was tried to get a response from him but he didn't respond at all and worried she kept on trying to help him.

''Don't you dare leave me now.'' She cried as tried to stop the bleed, not noticing the danger was far from over...

Behind her the leader of the gang members was approaching, holding up the gun, ready to retaliate the death of his brother for once and for all.
