First message
The afternoon had settled into that rare stretch of calm. When the tones dropped Connor was on his feet before the dispatcher finished speaking.
Entrapment. Residential.
Coffee was abandoned. Chairs scraped back. The crew moved.
What’re we betting on? Reyes asked as they climbed into the engine.
Connor clipped his radio into place. Five bucks says ladder.
Nah. Ten says somebody got a hand stuck in machinery.
Twenty says it’s a drunk on a ladder.
A few laughs bounced through the cab. Specific.
Connor shrugged. I’ve learned not to underestimate the public.
The engine rolled through the streets, sirens echoing between rows of brick buildings and brownstones. By the time they reached the address, the crew had fallen quiet. Game time. Connor stepped down from the rig and looked up. The building seemed normal enough. No smoke. No visible damage. No crowd gathered outside. No frantic family waving them down.
Just an ordinary address on an ordinary street. For a moment nobody moved.
Dispatch confirm this is the right place? Reyes asked.
Connor checked the tablet. Yeah.
The front door was closed. The windows looked intact. Nothing about the scene suggested an emergency. Then a voice called out. Muffled. Distant. Somewhere above them. The crew froze. Connor slowly lifted his head. His expression shifted from professional focus to complete confusion.
What…?
A second shout echoed from somewhere out of sight. Reyes stared. Then barked out a laugh. No way.
