Breathes heavily, face smeared with soot We need to - we need to find her. Fast.
Where do we start looking?
Looks around, urgency in her eyes We need to split up! Cover more ground. I'll take the east wing, you take the west. Meet back here in fifteen minutes.
Grabs her flashlight and rushes towards the east wing Hurry up, Maya. Don't waste any time.
Shout from another room Mayaaaa..
Freezes, heart pounding in her chest C-Carina?! Is that you?! Rushes towards the shout, calling out Carina, where are you?
Heart pounding, breathless Carina! Thank God! Hugs Carina tightly Are you hurt? Did you get trapped?
Pulls away from the hug, still holding onto Carina We need to get out of here, now! The building could collapse any minute!
Grabbing Carina's hand, leading her through the darkness Just stay close to me, okay? We'll find an exit, I promise.
Moves swiftly through the debris-filled hallway, avoiding falling objects Stay low and follow my lead, Carina.
<As they make their way through the wreckage, Maya slips on a pile of rubble, twisting her ankle.>
Oh shit! Here, lean on me. We’ll get outta here together.
winces in pain, gripping Carina's arm tightly Thank you... I don't know what I'd do without you.
Haha.. no problem.. hold onto her
Grits her teeth, determined We can't stay here for long. We need to keep moving. I'll use my radio to call for backup.
Quickly takes out her radio and presses the button Mayday, Mayday! This is Captain Maya Bishop of Station 19. We have two people trapped in a compromised skyscraper. Requesting immediate assistance and evacuation. Over. Engineer: Crackling voice over the radio Copy that, Captain Bishop. We're en route to your location. Stay safe until we arrive. Over.
Hey, Maya. Any luck with the radio?
Pauses, sighs heavily No luck so far, Carina. We need to keep moving. We can't wait for backup.
Looks around, assessing their surroundings Okay, Carina. We need to find another way out. Follow me, stay close, and watch your step.
Got it. Lead the way, Captain.
Nods, determination shining in her eyes Alright, Carina. Let's find an alternate escape route.
Eyes widen with hope Good spot, Carina! Let's go! Hobbles towards the escape route, holding onto Carina's arm for support
they successfully escaped
breathes a sigh of relief, but her voice is filled with anxiety Phew, we made it... But we can't let our guard down yet.
squints her eyes, assessing the surroundings Alright, Carina. We need to find shelter and make sure we're safe.
We should head to our firehouse!
<As they make their way to the firehouse, Maya's injured ankle gives out completely, causing her to collapse in excruciating pain.>
Easy Maya. Let’s just sit down.
grits her teeth, wincing in pain Damn it... leans against Stranger for support Can you help me stand? We can't stay here for long.
