Not long to go now, I thought I would try to write it from each character and see how it goes
Looking at the building in front of him, Lawson's mouth open, pulling away from Charlie, he runs towards the building, ignoring Charlie's yelling.
Seeing Lawson pull away, running towards the building, Charlie yells out after him, seeing Lawson ignore him, he looks to see Stella taking off too, taking a gulp he calls out after he, seeing them both ignore him, he kicks the ground with his foot.
….
Hearing footsteps behind him, Lawson looks around seeing Stella there "I'm not leaving, its Kerry, Leon and Josh in there" turning back around, they head towards what was the communications room, seeing debris and flames around. With visibility slim, they head forward.
Taking a deep breath Lawson looks around, wondering how anyone could survive this, wanting to think positive he just has too, he can't lose Kerry not again. Walking forwards he is finding it hard to see that far ahead, look around there is debris, knowing it is still unsafe, there is no way he is leaving though.
Forging on ahead, he sees a figure lying motionless on the ground, running forward he pulls wood and debris off, seeing Kerry there he leans down, feeling for a pulse on her neck, trying to get his breathing under control. Turning to face Stella "help me get her out of here", seeing Stella hurry over, looking down at Kerry before looking up "Is she alive" nodding at her "I think so but Just".
Picking up her motionless body, they quickly hurry out of TR, getting to the entrance, Lawson yells out "we need an ambulance here"
Seeing Christian and Charlie hurry over helping him "where is the ambulance", looking up and seeing the trolley there "she's hardly breathing".
Standing there looking at his girlfriend, the pain as they work on her, needing to keep his mind occupied, he runs back inside, hearing footsteps behind him again, he hears Stella's voice "We need to find Josh" hurrying inside they try to make their way further in, seeing it getting worse and worse, climbing over some debris that had fallen. Looking around Lawson sees what was Kerry's office, was it only a few hours ago he was in that office with her, feeling her lips upon his, shaking his head to clear it, they walk further inside, putting up his hand to shield him from the heat, the heat pushing them back.
Hearing footsteps behind them, they hear voices "You need to get out of here, it isn't safe". Looking up and seeing the fireman Lawson shakes his head "Our team members are in there". Seeing them look at him "Leave it to us, if anyone is alive we will get them out, the heat in there is too intense, you both need to get out of here"
With Stella standing next to him speaking to them "we need to get in there, they could still be alive, we need to get them out", seeing one of the fireman walk over to her, touching her gently "we will do everything we can to find them, you are endangering your own lives in there".
Staring at the fireman going ahead of them, Lawson looks down at Stella, her face etched with worry and fear, it wasn't that long ago, that they had lost Michael, hearing her voice "We just can't stand around and do nothing", reaching out to touch her "Stel, no, we can't go, I can't lose you or anyone else too". Seeing Stella's blue eyes look up at him, "its Josh in there" nodding his head "don't you think I know that Stel, I want to go in there, bring him out alive, he's my best mate".
Walking out the the rubble, Lawson looks around walking up to Charlie "Where's Kerry, has the ambulance taken her to hospital?". Not even looking around at the other team members, Lawson's eyes are upon Charlie "She was taken to hospital, they were having trouble trying to stablise her" feeling Charlie's hand on his arm "I'm sorry Lawson, but they don't think she'll pull through".
Ignoring the words from Charlie, Lawson shakes his head "Your wrong, she'll be fine", getting out his car keys, and walking over to Kerry's car fumbling with the keys. Sitting in the drivers seat, he tries to put them in the ignition, feeling the tears building up in his eyes.
Hearing a noise next to him, he doesn't even look up, until he feels a hand on his "I'll drive you", not even able to smile as he sees Shannon.
Running into the emergency department a short time later, he goes up to the desk trying to remain coherent "Kerry Vincent, where is she?", seeing the nurse not even looking up at him "the ambulance bought in a Kerry Vincent I need to see her".
Seeing the nurse look up at him "are you a relative of hers?", taking a deep breath wanting to scream and yell before banging his fist on the desk "I'm her partner, I need to see her"
Pacing around the waiting room for what seems like ages, before he sees Tash calling out to her, he hurries over "Tash, I need to see Kerry"
Looking at Lawson hurrying over to her, his face etched with fear worry his eyes filled with unshed tears "They're working on her now, she's gone to theatre", looking straight ahead "I need to see her" reaching out to touch his arm, wonder what happened, and where Josh was "As soon as she is out of theatre I'll let you know"
Feeling desolate and impatient, waiting he feels a hand on his arm, looking up he sees the eyes he saw so many times before, ones that he used to know so well, feeling arms around his shoulders, he finally lets the tears start to fall.
….
STELLA
Watching the building crumble, her face etched with shock horror and disbelief, she had already lost Michael, now Josh, Kerry and Leon were inside, hearing the explosion was worse than seeing it, looking up and seeing Lawson run inside, she quickly followed, ignoring Charlie's voice, looking around inside it was worse than she imagined, how could anyone survive this, it looked like after everything yes they had got and killed Kerry but not only her but Josh, and Leon, no one deserved this to happen to them. Seeing Lawson turn around, she knew what he would say, but there is no way she was leaving.
Watching Lawson his face studying everything, his love for Kerry so evident, if no one knew they were going out, just seeing him now would change that or show his feelings for her. Seeing Lawson stop, she hurries up to him, looking down, she didn't even need Lawson to speak, before she was helping him, frozen on the spot temporarily, she can't be, Kerry can't be dead not your boss, seeing slight relief on Lawson's face she still needs to ask Is she alive" seeing Lawson nod "I think so but Just".
Helping Lawson pick her up, her body motionless, can't even tell if she is breathing, seeing Lawson trying to control his emotions, all you want to do is save Kerry then go back and save the others. Walking out in the fresh air, it isn't long before an ambulance officers come over to help her, but Christian and Charlie come over first to help, only one thing is on her mind, she needs to go back inside, seeing Lawson hurry back inside, she follows him, the smoke getting slightly worse and vision pretty hazy now too, but no way is she turning back the heat coming from where she things the bomb must have gone off, still quite fierce, providing a barrier from them getting in, the heat pushing them backwards, turning to look at Lawson, he is faring no better, hearing footsteps she hears a voice, finally the fireman are here, there voices speaking to you as she responds "we need to get in there, they could still be alive, we need to get them out", seeing one of the fireman walk over to her, touching her gently "we will do everything we can to find them, you are endangering your own lives in there".
Staring at the fireman going ahead of them, she sees Lawson looking at her, her face etched with worry and fear, it wasn't that long ago, that they had lost Michael, they have to do something "We just can't stand around and do nothing", feeling Lawson reaching out to touch her "Stel, no, we can't go, I can't lose you or anyone else too". Looking at Lawson, it is his best friend in there too, how can he just walk away, doesn't he care, "its Josh in there" nodding his head "don't you think I know that Stel, I want to go in there, bring him out alive, he's my best mate".
Watching Lawson walk out, she feels helpless, partly defeated, no way can she leave them there, with no choice she follows Lawson out into the fresh air.
Looking around she sees Shannon and Christian just standing there, there mouths open in shock too, what happened how did this happen. Her eyes fixed on the entrance she sees one of the fireman come out, seeing him walk up to Charlie, she follows him, hearing him say "We have found a body in there, we will need dental records to be able to identify it, sorry it is pretty badly burnt."
Putting her hand up on her mouth, she tries to stop the sob forming, but before she knows it, her eyes are filled up with tears, her knees buckling on the ground, it is either Leon or Josh, the thought of never seeing either of them again.
Feeling arms around her drawing her towards him, stroking her head, she feels the warmth and tenderness, thinking it is Shannon, the tears fall, she hears a voice, deep and masculine, Charlie, snuggling against his chest the tears don't stop falling.
…
SHANNON
Watching the explosion happen, they can not move, looking around, hoping that there team members will come out, as time passes and no one comes out, seeing Lawson tear into the building, Shannon wants to follow him, make sure he is alright, waiting for him to come out, she sees the lifeless body in there arms, still glued to the spot she can not move, all she sees is Lawson's face, his eyes filled with unshed tears, the worry, fear on his face, but worse of all the love, the look in his eyes, is filled with love for Kerry, the woman he now loves, not her.
Watching Lawson run back in again, it seems forever until he comes out, this time with no one. Watching him walk over to Charlie, and speak to him, before getting into the car, watching him trying to start it, she hurries over, putting the keys in she hops in the drivers seat, in no state to drive, she is able to do something, even with everything that has happened there is part of her that will always love him, looking at him, she wants to comfort him, pull him towards her, even kiss him, anything to try to make him feel better.
Dropping him off at the hospital, she watches as he quickly opens the door before hurrying out not even glancing back towards the emergency department.
Driving out of the hospital Shannon turns around finding a park, walking into the hospital, it isn't long before she sees Lawson, looking so alone, and fragile, walking up to him, she touches his arm, seeing him look at her, the tears in his eyes, the worry, pulling him towards him, she feels the tears start to fall.

CHARLIE
Looking around everything is secure people away, all they need now is for Kerry and Josh to come out, not surprised that either of them haven't listened to him, Kerry never did do anything he wanted her to do, hearing their voices he sighs a bit in relief that they are coming out, relaxing slightly, he looks up as she hears the explosion, his eyes wide waiting like the others for the three of them to come out, after a few seconds with no movement, he fears the worse, seeing Lawson start to go under the cordon, he reaches out and grabs him, pulling him back, feeling him pull away from his grip all he can do is watch, calling out he isn't surprised he is ignoring him, shaking his head at Lawson it is only getting worse, turning around to face the other members he sees Stella run under, his blood starting to run cold, calling out louder and firmer, he sees Stella ignoring him, his eyes narrowing, damm his team members, why can't they listen to him when it counts. Turning to face the other two "don't either of you two try anything stupid"
Watching a short time later, he hears Lawson's voice yelling out, running over with Christian, he sees Kerry in his arms, turning around to call out for the ambulance, it is only a few seconds before a trolley arrives.
Looking down at his boss, lying their motionless, his face showing no emotion, he needs to keep it together, he can't fall apart not now, but then he isn't as close to them as the others are, its only be a few weeks since he arrived. Looking up at the ambulance officers as they work on her "she's alive but only just", all he can do is nod, looking around he can't see Stella or Lawson again, turning to Shannon his voice coming out firmer "where are Lawson and Stella now" seeing her point to the entrance "they've gone back inside" shaking his head "do they have a death wish", seeing Shannon looking at him "what?", her voice softer than normal "I'd do the same, its called loyalty and looking out for your team mate, you should try it Charlie". Turning around to face Shannon "No its called stupidity"
Hearing one of the ambulance officers call out "we have a code blue", he turns around watching the ambulance officers working on Kerry, hearing them call out "we have a rhythm, very faint". Walking over to them, he needs to know but is slightly scared to ask "How is she?", seeing them not even looking at him "its not good, we're got her back now, but she is in a bad way critical, we're taking her to hospital now"
Seeing Stella and Lawson walk out a short time later, he walks over to them "Don't go back there again, the place is unstable, and its not safe, I'm not losing any more team members". Seeing Lawson look around there is no way to say it "she's taken to hospital, she's in a bad way Lawson, they're not sure if she will make it" watching him walk off to the car.
Seeing the fireman walk over to him, his face grim, he knows the news won't be good, who could make it out of there, listening to it, all he can do is nod, not really wanting to know if it is Leon or Josh, one of them dead, and if the truth be told it will be two by the end of it, if not three, not wanting to think about it, all he wants to do is go away, want none of this to happen, the need to stay and find out.
Turning around he sees Stella on the ground, her face wet with tears, the sobs getting louder, walking over to her, he pulls her towards him, wrapping his arms around her body, was it only last night that she was in her arms, wanting to kiss the top of her head, hold her and never let her go, she's already lost her best friend, now this, holding her tight he feels his vest and arms getting wet from the tears, life is cruel, and all he can do is be there for her
…..
Arriving at the hospital a while later, Charlie walks in, seeing Shannon, Christian there with Lawson, sitting on a chair near by, he feels a bit of an outsider, seeing Shannon and Christian look at him, he shakes his head "still no news of the second person, the fireman hadn't found a body, but considering the heat from it, it might be days.
Looking at the group, Charlie breaks the silence "Has anyone told Tash yet?", seeing Shannon shake her head "No, she's been in theatre and emergency, we wanted to wait to see if anything…" not finishing the sentence
Hearing footsteps coming into the room Lawson looks up his face filled with hope as they see the doctor his face grim. The team looking up at him, Lawson's face filled with hope, "I'm sorry, her injuries were too severe, we weren't able to save her"
Looking around the room the shock on their faces, and cries filling the room, looking up Shannon sees Lawson get up, his face showing no emotion, no tears or grief, as he leaves the room, calling out after him "Lawson", feeling Christian's hand on her arm, shaking his head "leave him Shan, he needs to be by himself"
