Rescue me

Carlos P.O.V 

I heard from Buck what happened. To be honest T.K was acting strange the last few days. Like he was hiding something. I don't know...maybe he was taking drugs again and was scared to tell me....I mean now it's obviously. They found the drugs in his locker. How? I mean why? He was clean for over a year now. I really thought he realized what could happen if he takes this stuff. Guess I was wrong. Or maybe I'm wrong now? I should talk to his dad. Or is this the wrong idea? I shouldn't have sent this message to him...I should call him to apologize. Yeah that's the best idea. 

I try it two times, three times, four times. In the end I tried to call him 10 times. No reply. I messed up. I really messed up. Gosh I should have believed him. I am an idiot. I put on a hoddie and some sweatpants and my shoes. Gosh I'm freezing. I search for my car keys. Finally I find them. My head is killing me but I drive to the firehouse. I park my car and go inside. I look around.

The hall looks pretty empty. I just see the ambulance here. The truck is gone. Guess Owen is out on a call. I sigh. 

Nancy: hey, can I help you? 

Carlos: no, i mean yeah maybe. I am searching for captain strand. 

Nancy: he's out on a call but they should be back soon. Maybe I can help you 

Carlos: no i don't think so, can I wait for him? 

Nancy: sure *smiles* I know you

Carlos: this could be true *laughs* 

Nancy: you're T.K's boyfriend am I right? 

Carlos: yeah *coughs* 

Nancy: you okay? 

Carlos: yeah I just have a flu. *smiles softly* 

Nancy: come on I'll make you a tea. 

Carlos: oh no you don't have to 

Nancy: it's fine. Come on *smiles* 

Carlos: thank you *smiles softly* 

I slowly drink the cup of tea and we talk. I don't feel good but I have to know if he's okay. I have a bad feeling. I decide to call Buck again. Maybe he knows something. 

Buck: *picks up* Carlos? How can I help you? 

Carlos: *hears the babies crying in the background* bad moment? 

Buck: kind of. What do you need? 

Carlos: have you heard from T.K? I can't get a hold of him and I'm getting worried 

Buck: no sorry. I haven't heard from him since he left the school. 

Carlos: *sighs* I have a bad feeling.  

Buck: I'll try to call him when the kids are asleep. Sorry Carlos but I need to help Taylor now. 

Carlos: sure. It's fine. Sorry. I just...

Buck: no need to apologize. See ya *hangs up* 

Nancy: news? 

Carlos: no *sighs* 

Nancy: there is captain strand 

Owen: Carlos, hey *comes over to them* what are you doing here? You look like you should be in bed.

Carlos: yeah I should but I'm searching T.K 

Owen: well he's not here. Don't know where he is 

Carlos: i was calling him but 

Owen: yeah I know why he's not replying your calls. He crashed his phone. He threw it against the wall. We had a fight. Because of this stuff at school. 

Carlos: what did he say before he was gone? 

Owen: i really don't want to repeat that. Just that he's done with everything. Carlos I don't know. He's acting like a crazy man. Maybe he's really on drugs again. The principal called me a few hours ago again. They want to take him out of school. If you see him tell him that. 

Carlos: Captain Strand

Owen: Carlos I know That you and T.K are in a relationship but he showed me that he wants to do it himself and that he doesn't need me. Fine. If he wants it that way he can get it that way. 

Carlos: I'll drive to your house. Maybe he's there *sighs* thank you Captain Strand 

Owen: no Problem Carlos 

Carlos: and thanks for the tea Nancy 

Nancy: always *smiles* 

I grab my keys and leave the firehouse. I see his car in the driveway. So he's home. The lights are on. I hear music. I knock on the door and ring the bell. 

Carlos: T.K? Babe please open the door. Look I'm sorry. I was an idiot. Of course you're not taking drugs again. I should have believed you. Please babe. Can we talk? I know you're home. Babe please. Babe *goes around the house* babe? Come on please *sighs* it's getting cold out here. Just answer me. If you're mad at me it's okay but just answer me *looks through a window* T.K? Babe? *sees something on the floor* babe? Are you okay? 

I have a bad feeling. What's that on the floor. I don't know. I call Owen again. 

Carlos: Captain Strand, something is weird. T.K's car is here and music is playing but no one is opening the door 

Owen: maybe he just doesn't want to open the door. Carlos he's stubborn. He always was stubborn. Accept the fact *sighs* 

Carlos: Captain Strand I'm sorry but something is wrong! Something is laying on the floor. I don't know what but it looks like a Human...maybe it's him...please 

Owen: okay I'm coming. Give me 5 minutes. *hangs up* 

I try to see more. I can see a foot. On the end of the staircase. Finally Owen arrives. 

Carlos: something happened. Maybe he fell down the stairs. I don't know but I can see a foot 

Owen: *looks through the window* you're right. Okay let's go. *tries to open the door* he locked it. I can't open it *grabs his phone* Judd, I need an ambulance at my house and bring the battering ram. Hurry. *hangs up* 5 minutes then they should be here.

These 5 minutes are the longest in my life. They finally arrive. I have a bad feeling. T.K what have you done. I need to stay back. Owen talks to his crew. 

Carlos: can we please open the door now? Maybe he needs help. 

Owen: we will see. Maybe he just fell asleep because he's on drugs 

Carlos: can we stop Now?! *shouts and starts coughing* 

Owen: yeah sorry this was...I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that. Give me the battering ram. 

I step backwards. Owen counts up to 3 and opens the door. 

Owen: T.K? T.K!! *runs over to the staircase* hey T.K! *turns him around* 

lying on the floor when I break through...at the end of the staircase. I pull you in to feel your heartbeat. 

Carlos: *shouts* please don't leave me!

Someone pulls me away from him.

Owen is searching for his pulse. I just stare at them. Not knowing what to do. Tears roll over my cheeks. 

Tommy: careful captain strand, we don't know what happened 

Owen: he has no pulse. Starting resuscitation! *starts it* 

I slide down the wall and watch everything...I start to cry...

Carlos: T.K *sobs* T.K...please don't leave me...hold on I still want you....come backI still need you...let me take your hand, I'll make it right...I swear to love you all my life...hold on I still need you... *whispers* can you hear me baby please don't leave me!! *starts to scream and cries*
