until told otherwise. Alex jumped out to and the captain told him to check the driver of the 1 st vehicle who seemed fine standing by his car.
A Chicago police officer named DeLuca was already on the scene directing traffic, walked over to fire truck #1 and said to Troy, “What the hell ya doing? Rush hours startin and you’re blocking 2 lanes. You need to move the truck to the shoulder now! Officer DeLuca shouted.
Nick didn’t appreciate the officer’s attitude one bit and put up his hand to Troy to wait and said, “Wait till you get the order from the captain.” Looking at the very annoyed officer, Nick said, “We need the truck to stay where it is to provide us a safe working area so we can rescue this person and not worry about getting hit by a speeding motorist.”
Looking at Nick as if he was no one of importance, he said, “Why do you think I’m here for. I’m to make sure everyone goes around you but the truck can’t stay here.”
“There’s no way you can guarantee our safety,” Nick told the officer. “Besides we’ll probably be done here in 20 to 30 minutes.”
“Move the truck now!” Officer DeLuca yelled back
Unbelievable thought Captain Miller, hearing the argument, he walked over to the truck and said, “Under no circumstances do you move this truck!” Troy nodded in agreement. The captain directed his attention to Officer DeLuca and said, “Like my firefighter explained to you, we need a safety barrier. We shouldn’t be here that long anyway So don’t make a big deal about a little traffic.”
Walking away so he can focus his attention on the injured driver, Officer DeLuca grabs the captain’s arm and begins to argue with him about jurisdiction. Captain Miller pushes Officer DeLuca’s arm off of him and says, “Are you crazy? You want to risk the lives of my firefighters from safely rescuing this person because of some petty traffic?”
Ignoring the officer, Captain Miller said, “Nick start cutting the door so we can pull that guy out.” The captain ordered. Nick nodded but looked at Officer DeLuca one more time, wondering what the hell was his problem.
Relentlessly Officer DeLuca confronted Captain Miller again and yelled, “I’m giving you one more chance to move that truck.”
“I’m giving you one more chance to come to your senses and let us do our jobs!” Captain Miller answered angrily!
“That’s it! You’re under arrest! Put your hands behind your back.” Officer Deluca commanded.
Doing as the officer instructed Captain Miller told him, “I’m going to make sure you lose your badge for this.” Reading the captains rights as he was walking him to his patrol car, Nick got in between them.
Oh God! What are you doing? Susan thought. “James! Are you getting all this? Susan asked.
James gave her thumbs up so his voice wouldn’t come over the audio recording.
Nick asked, “What’s the charge?”
Officer DeLuca put his hand on Nick’s chest to push him aside and said, “Stay out of the way or you’re next.”
Nick didn’t budge at all. “You still haven’t answered my question. What’s the charge?” Nick countered.
Officer DeLuca, riding really high on his superiority complex, let go of the captain and pushed Nick with both his arms. He pushed Nick so hard that he tripped over the mechanical cutter cables making Nick hit his head on the expressways pavement. As he lost consciousness, the last thing he remembered was Susan screaming.
Chapter 25
NICK! NICK! Susan screaming as she jumped out of the truck to check on Nick. Once Officer DeLuca saw the cameraman filming the situation, his heart sank. Alex and Troy came to look on Nick but with the captain under arrest and Nick unconscious, Alex was now in charge of this call. Alex ordered Troy to cut the door so paramedics could get the injured driver to the hospital. Starring at Officer DeLuca, he
