{name:Fin#|#picture:2}Fin removed his shirt and took the belt from Liv. Pressing the shirt against the wound, he took the belt and tightened it on the wound to form a makeshift tourniquet.
"Liv?" Fin asked, Can ya sit by Melinda and loosen the tourniquet every 10 minutes. I know," Fin said as he saw Liv's confused look, "Just try to guess at 10 minutes. I can hear the saws and jackhammers but I have no idea if they know we are in here. I'm gonna crawl to where the door was and start pounding with any piece of debris I can find."
Fin crawled his way to the area where the door should have been. The area was sealed shut. He grabbed what he thought was a brick and began to pound on what was left of the wall by the door. He knew they needed help fast.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}"Be careful, Fin," Olivia called as he crawled away.
She scooted down near Melinda's leg injury and paid close attention to the torniquet.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin continued to pound on the area in and around the door. He paused every so often to hear if anyone was getting closer.
"Hey we're over here," he began to shout repeatedly, not certain if anyone could hear him.
"Liv, how's Melinda doing?" Fin questioned before returning to shouting for help.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}"She's lost a lot of blood, Fin," she said quietly, "she's holding on, but not by much."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Liv," Fin spoke quickly,"I can't walk on these ankles but, I'm gonna try to tunnel towards the sound of the jackhammers and saws. I have felt around over here and it feels like it's jumble of broken brick and cement. No use staying here and waiting....." Fin fell silent.
The word die hung silently in the air and in both Liv and Fin's minds.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}Olivia nodded and loosened the torniquet on Melinda's leg again.
She said, for what seemed like the thousandth time that night, "Be careful, Fin!" and again sent up a silent prayer that every one of them would make it out okay.

Melinda's trying desperately to stay awake, but the long they have to stay in there the harder it's getting and she knows it, so she tries harder she knows it probably won't work, but it's worth she can't die and she doesn't want to.
"Guys, please don't let me die" She pleaded with them. "I don't want to"

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}Fin began removing some of the debris that was blocking the door.
We will never get out alive this way, he thought.
"Liv? "Is Melinda conscious and has the bleeding slowed down? Fin spoke over his shoulder, while continuing to remove chunks of cement and brick from the doorway.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}"She's concious," Olivia called out, "but barely! The bleeding has slowed, but not as much as I would like."
She turned her attention back to Melinda, "It's okay, sweetie," she soothed, stroking her friend's hair lightly, "we're not going to let you go anywhere."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin breathed a sigh of relief when Liv gave him the news that Melinda was still concious and the bleeding was slower.
"Warner, hang on ya promise." Fin said as he continued to make a little headway in clearing the pile of rubble.

Melinda nodded her head indicating a yes response to Fin's question. All of a sudden she heard a crashing noise. "Olivia, Fin, what's that noise...it sounds like the building is closing in on us we have to get out now!" She yelled out in a panicked voice.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}Olivia listened closely and heard the noise too.
"We're gonna get out of here, Melinda," Olivia said, "don't panic, just relax."
Olivia stood up slowly and realized that she could put more weight on her broken leg than she thought. She wouldn't be able to support Melinda's weight as well as her own, but she had another idea.
She hobbled over to the wall oppsite the one Fin was on and banged on it as hard as she could. "Help!" She screamed, "There are three people trapped in the mourge! All are injured, one critical!" She kept yelling, as she could hear voices near them. She was unsure if she could be heard over the machines and other commotion going on outside.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin heard the noise of falling debris and figured it was coming from somewhere close. He kept digging. He heard Liv approach and start pounding for help.
"Liv, we need to hurry." Fin spoke quietly. "I am running out of steam.........what the h*ll." Fin heard before he saw the floor above begin to collapse.
The pain in his broken ankles was forgotten as he dragged himself on his knees over to Melinda. Grabbing her under the arms he dragged her toward Liv and the door.
"Liv, cover your head," Fin shouted as he reached her with Melinda's limp form in front of him.
Fin sheltered both the women as the back half of Melinda's office was filled with debris from the floor above them. Trapping them in a 3 foot space by the door.
"Liv? Melinda?" Fin cried out. "Are you alright."

Melinda knew that her injuries were probably now worse than before. She moaned and groaned in the worst pain she'd ever felt. She could hear Fin calling out to her. "Fin, where are you"? She asked.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Melinda, I'm right here with you." Fin replied. "The back of your office has collapsed. I pulled you to safety. I'm gonna continue to pound on the the wall. Help is coming. Liv are ya alright? Liv? Answer me, Liv" Fin called, his voice somewhat raised in anxiety for both the women.
