"I am afraid we are still not sure the name of the person that has just been rescued from the building"
"Are you telling us that the person you have just pulled out of the building is dead as well?" Tony said
"No, the man that has just been rescued collapsed and fell unconscious before he could tell us who he was" a fire fighter said
"Can you take me to him please?" Mr Thomas said
"The paramedics are trying to revive him at the moment, no one has seen him not even the police� the fire fighter replied
"More of a reason why I should be there" Mr Thomas said
"Ok"
�I'll come too� Harry shouted
The fire fighter, Harry and Mr Thomas walked over to the ambulance. Mr Thomas looked at the body "Right, let me have a look please"
"Yes Mr Thomas" the paramedic said
"Right we need to bag him, quickly please"
The paramedics did what Mr Thomas said, "1,2,3,4, come on. Again, 1,2,3,4, I won't let you do this to me" Mr Thomas said
"We have a pulse Mr Thomas"
"Good, right come on, we must get him to hospital. I will follow behind"
"Ok Mr Thomas"
Mr Thomas got out of the ambulance rubbing his head. June and Tony watched his expression carefully. "It doesn't look like good news," Tony said
"We don't know that, let�s wait and see what Mr Thomas says" Gina said. They all watched the ambulance drive off with flashing lights. Mr Thomas walked over to them with Harry following "Right I need to get to the hospital, can anyone take me please, I am not allowed near my car" Mr Thomas said
"Who is it?" Gina asked
"It's PC Carver" Harry added
June sighed with relief and then said " How is he, he's not�"
"PC Carver has inhaled a lot of smoke in there, which is preventing him from breathing"
"Oh no" Lucy said "Is he still unconscious"
"While I was in the ambulance, PC Carver stopped breathing, but we have got him back now and he needs an operation, he will be unconscious for a while yet"
"I will take you to the hospital Mr Thomas" Harry said
"Thank you"
"Sgt Ackland, Lucy can I take you anywhere"
"To the hospital please" June replied eagerly
"Me too please" Lucy added
"Tony?"
"If that was Jim, that must mean that the body found earlier must be Martin's," he cried
"Come on Tony, don't upset yourself, it's not your fault" Gina said, "You go, I will look after him and inform Martin's family"
"Thanks" June said
June, Lucy and Mr Thomas got into Harry's car and they drove off.
Meanwhile at the hospital, Nick waited in a waiting room with Kerry, they were both awaiting news on their loved ones. "Sit down Nick, you will wear the carpet out" Kerry said
"I can't keep still, what happens if she dies. It will be all my fault" Nick said
"Don't be silly, it's not your fault"
"Oh I am sorry, listen to me going on when you are in the same boat"
"It's alright. I hope Mr Thomas and Jim are alright"
There was a knock on the door and a doctor came in "PC Klein"
"Yes"
"PC Rickman is back from theatre now, would you like to go and sit with her"
"Yes please. Will you be alright Kerry"
"Yes you go" Kerry said
"Let me know when you get some news"
" I will"
Nick walked out with the doctor "Don't be alarmed by all the machines and she is still unconscious at the moment so don't expect too much"
"She will be alright though," Nick said eagerly
"The operation went well, and over time she should make a full recovery"
"Thanks"
Nick went into the room and sat by Cass's side. He took her hand and placed it by his head. "Cass, I don't know if you can hear me, but I love you" Nick said with tears in his eyes.
Meanwhile upstairs on a ward Duncan sat with Liz "There's no need for me to be taking up a bed" Liz said, "I am fine"
"Look, the doctor said he would like to keep an eye on you, so you are staying"
"Yes sir" Liz laughed, "I need to find out how the others are"
"I will go and find out" Duncan said
"Thanks"
Duncan kissed her on the cheek and then left to find someone who could tell him how everyone was. He walked down the corridor and bumped into Harry and the others. "How is everyone"?
"Debbie had to have emergency surgery at the scene, but she should be alright, Jack is fine, he has a few cuts and burns, Jim has been rushed to theatre, we don't know how bad it is yet and Martin was found dead I am afraid"
"Martin! No"
"Yes. How are Liz and Cass?" June asked
"Liz is on a ward upstairs and Cass was taken to theatre last time I heard"
"And Luke?"
"I don't know I am afraid"
"Do you know where Kerry and Nick are?�
"Yes, they are in the relatives room"
"Ok thanks"
"I'd better get back to Liz" Duncan said
"Ok, I will pop up later"
Duncan walked off towards the lifts. "I will go and find out what's happening, you all go to the relatives room and wait for news," Mr Thomas said
Harry, June and Lucy to the relatives room, where they found Kerry "Where's Nick?" June said
"He's gone to be with Cass, she's back from theatre"
"Oh right, how is she?"
"She's still unconscious, but I think she will make a full recovery," Kerry said
"Oh thank god" June said "What about Luke?"
"I don't know, they won't tell me anything," Kerry said with tears in her eyes
"Come on, I am sure he will be all right love" Harry said putting his arm around her to comfort her.
"I need a drink, does anybody else want one" Lucy said
"No thank you"
"Ok"
Lucy left the room and as she was leaving a doctor walked in to the room "PC Young"
"Yes" Kerry said as she stood up
"Would you like to sit down please," the doctor said
"Oh no" Kerry shouted
"I am sorry but PC Ashton died ten minutes ago"
"NO!!" she shouted. She fell into Harry's arms and June came over to comfort her.
"PC Young, if there is anything I can do for you, you know where I am"
"Yes thanks" June said
Kerry sat down next to June crying and Lucy came back. "What's happened?" Lucy said
"Luke the young PC who was brought in, died ten minutes ago"
"No, oh I am so sorry" she said
Meanwhile up in theatre Jim's operation had finished and he was in the recovery room. Debbie's operation had also finished and she was on a ward, Jack went to see her. "Debbie"
"Ah, my hero" Debbie smiled
"How are you?"
"In pain, but alive thanks to you"
"Well it's all in a day's work" Jack laughed
"I didn't know running into a blazing building was a usual thing for you to do" Debbie smiled
"Oh that, well I didn't think about that, myself and Jim just ran in"
"You are so modest sir. How is Jim?" Debbie said
"He is in the recovery room"
"Is he alright?"
"He inhaled a lot of smoke, and he banged his head in the second blast, but he should be alright, although it was touch and go in the ambulance" Jack said
"Oh, I hope he is alright"
"Anyway, back to you, do you want me to get them to give you more pain killers"?
"No it's alright thanks, but you could adjust my pillows"
"Ok" Jack said as he got up. He walked over to the bed and started adjusting the pillows and then all of a sudden Debbie gave him a kiss on the cheek. Jack looked in shock
"Sorry sir, I couldn't resist it, it's just to say thank you"
"As I said Debbie, it was all in a day's work"
"Yes of course"
"Right well I had better go and check on the others, I will come and see you later"
"Ok, and thanks again sir"
Jack walked off with a slight smirk on his face.
Meanwhile downstairs Harry had taken Kerry to see Luke, this left June and Lucy awaiting news on Jim. "Did Jim know you were coming?" June asked
"No, but I was going to surprise him, he loves surprises" Lucy smiled "I will stay if you want to get back to the station, PC Stamp looked as though he could do with a shoulder to cry on back there"
"No it's alright, I would rather stay, until I know Jim is alright" June said sharply
"Are you and Jim close?"
"What do you mean?" June snapped
"Well, it's just that you seem awfully concerned about Jim" Lucy said
"Yes well he is a good friend"
"Just a friend?"
"What are you trying to imply? June said
"Nothing"
"I am happily single" June said with tears in her eyes "Oh who am I trying to kid, you are right, I do have feelings for Jim, but he doesn't know, so I would appreciate if you kept it to yourself"
"Of course, he's a good man at heart"
"I know" June said
"I came back in hope that he would take me back"
June looked shocked "You have come back to be with him?"
"Yes"
"Oh I see�" Before June could finish, Mr Thomas interrupted them
"Sgt Ackland, Lucy, Jim is out of theatre now and he is in I.T.U, the next couple of hours are critical."
"How did the operation go?"
"As well as could be expected, I am sure PC Carver will pull through," Mr Thomas said
"Can we see him?" Lucy asked
"Yes, but one at a time"
"Is it alright if I go first?" Lucy said
"Umm, Yes I suppose" June replied
"Thanks"
Lucy, June and Mr Thomas made their way upstairs to the ward. June felt a little angry that Lucy had just come back to Sun Hill and taken over. As they got to the room where Jim lay, June watched as Lucy went in and sat by his side. June watched through the window, tears ran down her cheek as she saw all the tubes and machines attached to Jim. She had seen people in the same position before but this was different, it was Jim, the man she secretly loved, she felt helpless. All she could do was pray that Jim would pull through.
