AN E!KU FOR JOHNNY

Something on his mind
too often coincides with
something in his mouth.

AN E!KU FOR CAPTAIN STANLEY

He seemed pretty sane
'til McConnikee took charge --
then, he came unglued.

AN E!KU FOR ROY

You know, that sounds great!
Could you hang on a moment?
Let me call Joanne.

I'M ALIVE!

Crushing, shooting pain
flares through my chest and it's so
hard to breath - where, what....

Happened -- darkness, pain…
Where am I, God, it hurts, it
Hurts, gotta get to....

Roy… right beside me…
Not there… not there… oh, God, Roy!
I hear groan… from where?

Hurts - I hear groaning --
That pile of debris moving....
Roy? Roy? Is that you?

Move…. I've gotta
Move…, get to Roy... drag myself
To him, get to him....

Breathe, hard to breathe - Roy?
God, No… Roy, he's not breathing!
Mouth-to-mouth… come on!

Roy - breathe! Coughing
Wracks through me…. Something broken
Inside…. Gotta breathe....

For Roy - give him my
Breath to live… come on Roy, Live!
That's it breathe, in, out....

Coughing… wracking cough --
taste of blood in my mouth.... No!
Darkness fills my sight....

Not now… can't fade out....
Now, Roy needs me... I... the pain....
I lose my battle....

--------------

Broken bodies in
Collapsed brick building....
Are they still alive?

Dig - come on dig -- they
Must still be alive in there...
God, Squad 51....

We'll find you.... Yes!
They're alive. They're alive! Yes!
...Contacting Rampart.

JOHNNY ANGEL

Moments of intense
pain – lightens when he smiled
and called me sweetheart.

THE TEAM

Squad 51 – Roy
And John work tirelessly
To save and comfort.

THE CREW

Station 51 men are
dedicated to fighting the beast --
Still enjoy a prank or two.

By Sir Harry

HEART OF GOLD

Dixie is in charge
And takes static from no one --
But caring for all.

FROM AN E! WIDOWER

To all the Brunettes…,
I have the best sent from above --
Too bad Johnny, you loose.
