Next day. Morning. At the Firehouse. 

I walked into the garage and saw J.J sitting there playing with Pouch. 

J.J smiled at me "hey, Flo"

I smiled "Hey, J.J. "

Suddenly the alarm went off "Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61. Structure fire. 190 south Roselle Road"

Everyone rushed to the trucks. 

Kelly looked at me surprised "and where the hell have you been?"

Me "it got late last night"

Kelly raised an eyebrow, nodding. 

He pissed. but why?



At the Structure fire. 

We pulled over and got out of the trucks. 

A woman rushed to us "hey, hey !there's still someone in there"

Chief "Casey?"

Casey "yeah. Completely open floor plan. No interior walls to navigate. "

Chief "we go in there, we're not making it out before that place collapses. "

Kelly "Chief, squad can do a rope-assisted search"

Chief asked the woman "Ma'am, do you know all who are inside?"

Woman "It's just Armand. We were having an event. He ran  back in"

Chief nodded "okay"

Kelly "give me two minutes.I can make it in and out in time"

Chief nodded "okay, just two minutes"

Kelly "Squad, rope-assistet search. Capp, you're on anchor. I'll take lead. Cruz, Flo, tony, mae sure you slip your bags onto the main line"

I nodded "copy that"

We put the masks on and walked to the entrance. 

Kelly "okay. Tony and Cruz, you take the right. Flo, you stay left"

I nodded "Copy that"

Kelly "Lights on. Let's go"

I hooked onto the line and we walked inside. 

I walked to the left part and called out "Fire Department! call out"

A guy was in front of me coughing and crawling around. 

I said into the radio "i got eyes on him, Lieutenant. About 40 feet away"

Kelly "all right, copy that. stay put. Cruz, backwards towards Flo"

Cruz "copy that. On my way, Flo"

Me"This guy's fading fast, Lieutenant"

Kelly "stay out ! Cruz is right behind you"

I line wasn't letting me reach the man. 

Me "screw this"

I unhooked myself from the line and walked over to the man "come on!We got to go. We got to go"

Then i looked for the line but i couldn't find it. 

Damn it. 

I yelled "Severide, i lost the line!"

Kelly "Flo, where are you?"

Me "About 50 feet back from the main line with the victim"

The ceiling started to crack.
