Why this must be read:

Time for another lost E! classic. Lisa O'Brien took upon herself the monumental task of recording the POV's of every member of Station 51's A-shift during the episode "Nuisance". This episode is important for three reasons, a) John Gage suffers a nearly career-ending injury when hit by a car, b) it's directed by Randolph Mantooth, and c) it's the introduction of Craig Brice.

Gage and DeSoto were first out of the bar, with me and Vince right behind them. Vince was on his way out the door when we heard tires squeal and an engine rev, then the sound of a human body hitting something. Hard. Once you've heard that sound, you never forget it. I saw it happen once when I was still jockeying a hose and it's a sight I never want to see again. I'm not crazy about the sound, either.

"You okay?" I heard DeSoto's voice. "TRAUMA BOX!"

Taillights were disappearing in the distance by the time Vince and I made it out to the sidewalk. The engine was empty, which meant that any one of my men could be down. My legs weighed a ton as I ran to the front of the squad and out to the street

All I could see for DeSoto's back was a man's legs. I couldn't tell from the legs who it was, then I recognized Lopez and Kelly by their mustaches. Stoker's as tall as I am and has a tendency to slouch. He had his left hand on a leg. Which meant the man down was Gage.

It's a series of six stories and it's now out of print, but thanks to the magic of the Internet, it's available to you anyway.
