Review: Kat found where Jace placed Z and the fact that the house is set to explode. Grumm sent two monsters to try to keep the rangers away from Z, thinking that without a ranger Earth would be easy to conqure. The house is set to explode by sunset. The teamed arrived there just as the sun had begun to set. Will they find her in time or will there be one less ranger on the team?

Bridge POV

When we got to the house I noticed everyone acting scared. It did not bode well for anyone of us when we all heard that the house was set to explode in just a few minutes. There is no way that anyone could have the possibility to survive the explosion. Though this is Z that we are talking about there seems something more to this that I could not put my figure on. I went straight through the door not caring that the house will go up in smoke all that I knew was that Z was somewhere near by. I hope that I am right however if I am able to find the bomb there might be a small possibility to disarm it before the timer ran out.

Just as I was able to cross the thresh hold I smelt smoke. I was too late to find the bomb; looking back towards the team and the rest of the rescue party I saw that they were also sniffing the air.

"Everyone listen we don't have much time to plan we split up into two groups and stay in constant communication also Kat you are going to want to call the fire department to put out the fire and get some medical personal down here in case anyone inhales some smoke. Everyone there is not a lot of time. Group one will take the down stairs and Group two will take the upstairs." I said hoping that will motivate them into moving we had to hurry to find Z. Time was not on our side.

Kat POV

When we all heard Bridge taking charge we all thought that he had come up with a plan to save Z. It sounded as if he wanted all the help in locating Z and I could tell from his tone that if we did not do exactly as he said then he was going to go alone. I saw that the rest of B squad had already made up their minds about helping him and went towards the house without a second thought. Though I could tell that Doggie was proud of Bridge taking charge the way he did, Doggie was a bit mad at being ordered around like a recruit.

"Doggie he does have a point and he is thinking of saving Z not himself or anyone else. I am going to call the paramedics here as he said. We need to hurry though the sun will set in just a few seconds."

"Fine all the other recruits are not to enter the house until it is declared safe is that understood."

"Yes Sir." came from everywhere.

I could tell from the way Bridge was acting that we were close to finding Z. I just hope that we are in time to find her.

Jack POV

I had begun to question myself as to why I allowed this to happen. In years past I had always been there for Z that I had begun to think of her as my sister as well as my friend. I remember the first time that I met her, a scared child who was always looking over her shoulder and scared to go near people. It took her a long time to warm up to me in the beginning. I know that no matter what, no matter how many times Z gets hurt she always pulls through. I know that she is and always will be a fighter.

Syd POV

Ugh now we have to trek through the house with very little time left to find Z. I know that she is scared and all but why could that creep just have her outside where we could find her. Why do creeps always make things so hard. Hold on Z we are coming just you wait, and you better be alive for making us go through all of this.

Sky POV

Why did she not tell us what was happening we could have prevented this to begin with. I am going to give her a piece of my mind about trust and rules.

There is a reason why we are trusting towards one another and why there are rules it does not matter where we all grew up just that there is trust and rules.

She better be alive after this.

Z POV

I could hear someone just above me stomping around, but I was too tired to let out even a sound to alert them to my presence and besides what is the point. With my body broken I am no use to anyone any more. There is no point to my continued existence and I know that my team and friends have already moved on with their lives. There was another sound that I heard and then smoke. I guess that death is coming towards my way.

"Hold on just a bit longer Daughter. Your friends are here to save you. They won't leave you here by yourself."

Go away you are not really here and cannot help me. I know that my friends are not here they had to move on with their lives.

"Guys I found Z she is over here." Someone else said.

I can not get a look at their face but I no longer care just let death claim me. I no longer deserve to be here.

Doggie POV

When the team entered the house we all went fast and moved together searching in every room and on every floor until I spotted something laying in a far corner getting closer I could see that it was Z. Dried blood around her and dried tear stains on her face. It looked as if she had given up hope on living.

"Sir we need to leave now the house is going to go up in smoke and there is not a lot of time left." Bridge said.

I picked up Z gently and rushed out the house with the other rangers close behind. When there was a big explosion behind us. Oh-no, Z just lost the one thing that was once a happy place for her.

Kat POV

I could see that the rangers and the commander found Z, but then we all saw that the house went up in smoke. Oh no how are we going to save Z's mind without the one thing that could have helped us. I gather up my courage to go towards the team and saw just how bad Z was.

"Doggie we need to get her to the infirmary." I said.

"I know but that is the least bit of my worries. Once we get Z patched up I am giving everyone here a direct order not to be too harsh on her and to be understanding. When we get back I will tell more."

The Voice POV

Good they found her in time now all that needs to be done is to help her mend. I could not hold her mind together and it pained me to know that my own daughter was giving up the fight that way.

"Honey you did the best you could and trust me if anyone could have made her hold on as long as she did it was you." I turned around and saw my wife, now I know why my daughter was crying for her mother and everything fell into place.

I just hope that her friends will be able to help.
