"No, Jim" June shouted
The blast from the building threw Jack to the floor next to Debbie, Luke was thrown up into the air and landed next to Jack, but there was no sign of Jim.
"Luke" Kerry shouted as she watched him fly through the air and land on the floor. PC Newman ran over to the three bodies. "Sir are you alright," Harry said
"Yes, I am fine" he said as he slowly scrambled up off the floor. His face was covered with small cuts and small burns.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, now let this surgeon look at these." Harry stood out of the way and watched Mr Thomas, who was a surgeon, look at Luke. "Luke, can you hear me? We need immediate assistance over here please" Mr Thomas shouted. The ambulance men ran over. "Right, we have one male, unconscious, has had a big blow to the head and has multiple burns to his face, arms and legs. He needs to be taken to hospital immediately"
"Yes sir" an ambulance man said. They carefully put a collar on Luke and carried him to the ambulance. Kerry followed and went to hospital with him.
"Right, who's next?" Mr Thomas said
"Sir I think you should go and have yourself checked out " Harry said, "Leave the doctors help"
"I am perfectly alright thank you, now get out of my way, I want to stay here. Where's Jim Carver?"
"He hasn't been found yet"
"You mean he is still inside"
"We don't know. We have teams looking for him"
"Jack, Mr Thomas" Mickey shouts "Come quick, its Debbie"
Jack went over to Debbie. "Debbie, can you hear me? Debbie?" Debbie stopped breathing. "Mr Thomas, we must get her to hospital"
"She won't make it to hospital, she needs an operation now" Mr Thomas said, while conducting CPR "Come on Debbie, don't do this to me"
"Mr Thomas!"
Debbie begins to breathe again
"Right, we have a slight pulse, we need to move fast, lets get her into the back of an ambulance and I will conduct the operation"
"Are you sure about this Mr Thomas"?
"No, I am not sure, but it is the best chance Debbie has, so come on"
"Ok"
The paramedics carry Debbie to the back of the ambulance and Mr Thomas follows.
Meanwhile there was still no sign of Jim, the building was still a blaze and it was starting to fall down. The firefighters were desperately trying to find Jim, but they had no real hope of finding him alive if he was still inside.
"Any sign?" a firefighter said
"No sir, nothing"
"Well keep trying"
"Ok"
The firefighter went back into the blaze.
In the ambulance, Mr Thomas performed the operation on Debbie and even though he had limited resources, the operation was successful. This did not mean that Debbie was out of the woods yet, it just meant that Mr Thomas had done his best to stabilise her until she could be seen probably in hospital. "Right, she's stable now, lets get moving"
"Ok Mr Thomas, are you going to come with us"
"No, I will wait here to here news on PC Carver, in case I am needed"
"Ok"
Mr Thomas got out of the ambulance and went over to PC Newman to find out what was happening. Jack climbed into the ambulance and went off to hospital with Debbie.
Meanwhile while all this was happening Lucy, one of Jim's ex-girlfriends arrived on the scene. She had been visiting her mother in Sunhill and had seen the explosion on the television. "Excuse me, could you tell me if PC Jim Carver is alright please," Lucy said to June
"And you are?" June replied with tears running down her cheeks.
"Oh, sorry I am Lucy his ex-girlfriend"
June looked shocked, for two reasons. One was that Lucy was there in front of her asking about Jim and the other was because Lucy was tall, slim and beautiful, how could she compete with that. June quickly snapped out of her dreamy ways
"Umm, no they haven't found him yet"
"What do you mean?"
"Jim went in to find some of the others inside, and on his way out there was another explosion and now no one can find Jim"
"Oh no" Lucy said looking worried.
As they were talking June could see a firefighter dragging a much-burnt body out of the building and laying it on the floor. "Oh no" June cried
"Its not?" Lucy said
"Oh Jim, I told you not to go in" June cried as she sat down next to Tony
"Are you alright?" Tony said
"I don't know," she cried, "What am I going to do now?"
Tony put his arm around her put he looked a bit puzzled as to what June had meant by "What will she do now?"
Lucy ran over to the body and saw the firefighters shaking their heads as the body was placed into a body bag and zipped up. Lucy began to cry.
Harry walked over to the crowds of people and stood on the stone once again. Everyone went quiet. "A body has been found, unfortunately the body is so badly burnt we are unable to identify it. As we are only aware of one person missing at the moment, we can only assume that the body is that of PC Jim Carver. However, this cannot be confirmed until a post mortem is carried out"
The crowds went dead silent, as all you could hear was crying, Jim was a good friend to everyone and now he had gone, everyone was devastated, especially June and Lucy.
Harry got off the stone and walked over to Lucy, June and Tony. "Does PC Carver have any family, we could contact"
"No"
As they were talking Reg ran up to them, "Harry, there's another one missing"
"Are you sure?" Harry said
"Yes"
"Who?" Tony said, "We accounted for everyone"
"There was another person," Matt said looking shocked "Maybe that's where Jim disappeared too, maybe he heard someone else and went to help him"
"Martin Morgan one of the canteen staff. He was supposed to have left early, but I just ran his house and his girlfriend said that he rang her and said he had decided to stay"
"Yes, but maybe he went somewhere else"
"No Des just said to me, where's Martin and I said he had gone home and then he told me that he was talking to him just before the explosion"
"Right, ok thanks" Harry said "Boys, there's been another person reported"
"What!"
"Get back in there" a firefighter shouted.
The firefighters went to the engines to be geared back up to enter the blazing building.
As they were, being geared up someone from the crowd shouted, "Look!" Everyone looked and in the distance, you could see this body crawling on the floor by the entrance.
"Looks like you've found the missing man" Matt said
"Is it Martin?' Ken said eagerly
"I don't know, I can't see from here," Matt said
"Maybe it's Jim" Lucy said as they all watched the firemen running to help who ever it was out of the building.
