{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}Olivia could hear Fin calling her, but she couldn't open her eyes to respond. She knew everything that was going on around her, but she couldn't seem to move.
She closed her eyes tighter and mustered up all the strength she could. She knew that Melinda was still worse off and it was going to take her own strength plus Fin's to get out of there.
"I'm here, Fin," she whispered, although she wasn't trying to.

{name:Fin#|#picture:2}Fin breathed a much needed sigh of relief when Liv responded.
He felt around and realized that Liv was just a bit to the left of him. Melinda was a little in front of him, as he had tried to shelter both women from the collapse. He figured they had about a 3-6 feet space in front of them. The room was now pitch black. The collapse of the floor above them having blocked the one small window in the office.
"Liv," Fin replied. "We need to take turns checking Melinda's bleeding and bangin on this door and wall."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}'Hang on guys," Fin said. "Looks like the rescue team is outside. May take them a while to get to us, but we are almost home"
Fin looked at Melinda's ashen face and the pain that registered in Liv's eyes. He hope the rescuers would hurry up.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}****3 HOURS LATER****
Fin came slowly back to consciousness as the whining of the saws and jackhammers came with in inches of their location.
"Liv? Melinda?" Fin spoke in a whisper. "Help is on the other side of this door. We made it. Liv? Melinda? are ya awake? Ladies talk to me" Fin said with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}Olivia wakes up to the noise of the jackhammers. She can hear Fin talking and then Melinda answering.
"Thank God," she whispers, as it's all she's able to do right now. She wills her body to hold on a few minutes longer as the rescue workers come closer.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin breathed a sigh of relief to know that Liv and Melinda were still alive.
The rescue crew was now within about a foot of breaking through, Fin quessed by the increased volume from the jackhammers.
Picking up a broken piece of concrete, Fin began to pound again. This time voices began to shout from outside the blocked door.
"How many of ya are in there?" Shouted a member of the Search and Rescue Team.
"Three of us", Fin shouted. "We all have multiple fractures and one of us is critical."
"Can ya moved back a little from the door?" The Search and Rescue leader asked. "We need a little room to remove part of the debris without dumping it on you."
"Ladies, you heard the man let's try and drag ourselves back some." Fin said to Liv and Melinda, as he began to help Melinda move away from the door. "Damn," He said, as he realised that Melinda was again unconcious and bleeding.
"Hurry", Fin shouted at Search and Rescue, "We are gonna lose one in here."
Turning toward Liv, Fin spoke quietly. "Can ya shift Melinda a little closer to ya? I want to get between her and the door."

{name:Olivia#|#picture:13}Olivia nodded silently and pulled Melinda's body closer to her own, giving Fin more room next to the door.
She had almost cried with relief when she heard the rescue team on the other side of the door.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin worked his body between Liv and Melinda.
Thank God, he thought. they are inches away
"What kind of injuries ya got in there?" Inquired the lead man on the Fire and Rescue Team.
"I got 2 broken ankles and Detective Benson's legs are broken." Fin replied. "ME Warner is bad off. Head injury, rarely conscious and a deep gash on the leg near an artery I'm guessin. We are usin a tourniquet."
"OK, we'll prepare for that and should be with ya in 10 minutes." Replied the lead of Fire and Rescue.
