TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENT SCENES.

STUDIO SELF-STORAGE
Jackie
"Found the patient. She's at Storage Cell 3170..."
Michelle was still talking on the walkie, and all of a sudden...
"Urrgh!"
*Wakie drop*
"Michelle? It's Jack! Respond! Are you alright?"
"Hey get rid of that thing! *kick*"
I walked into rows and rows of storage cells, alone.
Then I saw a walkie talkie. The serial number... this walkie belongs to Michelle!
"Hen... Michelle is missing."
"Oh god... Dispatch? We got a paramedic missing in action. Michelle Clark, 25, we found her walkie on site."
====================================
Michelle
My name is Michelle Clark.
I was born by a pair of couple in Hong Kong. And well, I got abandoned by my "parents" right after birth.
As far as can remember, my parents adopted me and raised me in Hong Kong until I was 14. Then we relocated back to Los Angeles, as Mum's company relocated to LA.
It was hard to leave somewhere you've been living for a long time. It's even harder when both of your parents broke up and one of them died. Let's put those shit behind.
Since then, I had been living with Abby*. That's also why my last name is Clark.
(*: Abigail "Abby" Clark, from season 1 and the end of season 3)
====================================
10 YEARS AGO
LOS ANGELES POLICE STATION
"Athena, this child is orphaned. Her only parent is deceased. Paramedics can't leave her alone in the hospital and sent her here. Can you take care of her at least for now?"
"Sure, captain."
"Hey. I'm Athena. What's your name?"
"Michelle."
"Ok. Michelle. I'm currently looking for your father and see if he could pick you up."
"He's gone"
"How about your neighbors?"
"I know Aunt Abby. She lives next door."

AT ABBY'S HOUSE
"Hello?" Abby opened the door.
"Hello, I am LAPD Sergeant Athena Grant. Michelle's on her own for now, and we couldn't keep her at the police station overnight. Can you take care of her until we find her relatives?" Athena asked.
"Um.. ok. I will take care of her for now."
And... since LAPD couldn't find my relatives, so Abby adopted me a few months later.

====================================
MEANWHILE...
"Hey babe, do you miss me...?"
*A hard slap*
====================================
15:30
*Phone rings*
"Guys! Michelle sent me her live location!" I shouted.
It's been hours since Michelle went missing. And that is by far the most exciting piece of news.
"Give me the location, I will send that to Athena," Cap said. "
====================================
17:50
I was still looking at Michelle's live location.
"Michelle's location pointer is moving, and... its blocks away from us?"
"Wait what?" Hen asked.
A van zoomed right in front of us, the location pointer also zoomed right in front of ours.
"I think we've found Michelle..." I said.
"Cap? I think we located the car. Blue minivan. It matches Michelle's location. In pursuit, call Athena."
"Blue minivan? With a large exhaust? That matches Michelle's Location? We saw that, but we couldn't follow it. Chimney managed to write down parts of its license number. Cap is now calling Athena."
"Thanks, Buck. Really appreciate it."
We followed the van and soon forced the van to a dead end.

"Cap. We forced the van to a dead end at Willhardt Street."
"Copy that, Engine 118 on route."
"Ladder 118 too."
"Dispatch, requesting police on Willhardt street, we got the suspect cornered."
Something... isn't right.
"Is it speeding up?" I said.
"Is he serious?" Hen asked.
"All units, the van is not giving up. It is trying to run over us."
But before he could ram us, Buck's Engine and Athena's police car blocked the road.
Athena and other police officers pulled out their guns and surrounded the van.
The driver must've gotten desperate, and tried to drive the van through an obstacle. But Athena already had placed spikes on the road. The van ran over the spikes, then it crashed into the obstacle and our Ladder truck.
Athena and other police officers surrounded the crashed van, and cuffed the driver and the people onboard. No one is injured as the car got spiked after it performed a u-turn.
"Hen, Jack! She's here!" Athena waved at us.
I Grabbed the equipment bag and ran towards the van.
"Michelle? Michelle!" I started to examine her.
"Hen? Chim? I need some help here." I shouted.
I think I spotted signs of internal bleeding... I can't imagine what kind of stuff had Michelle been through...
====================================
22:00
LOS ANGELES MERCY GENERAL
"Family of Michelle Clark?" The surgeon called us.
"How's Michelle?" I asked........
"Michelle was bleeding internally and had 2 broken ribs. We operated on her and we fixed the bleeding and the ribs. She is now in recovery."
"Thanks... Thank you,"
RECOVERY ROOM
I sat next to Michelle's bed, along with Hen, Buck, and Cap.
Michelle is starting to wake up.
"Morning, sunshine," I said.
Suddenly, Michelle hugged me and cried on my shoulders.
I stammered for a moment and hugged her back.
"You're safe now."
Buck hugged us, and also Hen and Cap.
