Chapter 1

Heidi walked into Rescue Special Ops at the start of her shift on monday morning at 7am. Unlike all the other times she had done this she didn't have a smile on her face instead she was looking down at the floor just praying that either no one was going to notice her or they would just say hey and get on with their had been so happy and excited when she had left work on the Friday. She had planned a weekend of partying and spending time with friends both the ones that she worked with and her nurse friends as they all had the weekend off. She had not expected to find out what she did or that she was going to get beaten up by some strange man that she had never seen before but seemed to know everyting about her. All she knew now was that she had to keep if from her friends no matter what or they were going to be in as much danger as she was in "This is so not happening" She mumbled to herself. She walked towards the changing rooms still looking at the ground when she heard a voice behind her "Hey Heidi ho. How are you today? Have a good weekend?" She sighed quietly and she she slowly turned to face the owner of the voice. "Hey Vince. I am good. How are you?" She said still looking at the floor. Vince looked at her and raised his eyebrows "Heidi i can tell your not telling me the truth so just tell me or there will be some serious trouble" She slowly looked up knowing that he was going to freak. Just as she did she noticed that her other friends had gathered behind Vince. Hearing them gasp when they saw the cut on her forehead she looked back down "I tripped on a shoe and hit my head on the end of my bed" She mumbled. Jordan stepped forward and shook his head "You are not telling the truth. Who did this to you?" He asked. Heidi looked at him in the eyes and felt her heart skip a beat. She hated to to lie to her friends but she hated even more to lie to the man that she was secretly in love with "Just leave it ok. I am telling the truth" She spat at them and stormed off to get changed.
Jordan looked at the people around him hurt that she shouted at him "I guess she will tell us when she is ready. We better get to work as there might be a call any minute" He said as he walked off to carry on cleaning the ropes.
In the changing rooms Heidi sat wondering how she was going to make it through the day without breaking down and telling them her secret. She got changed and went upstaires just as Vince said that they have got a call out.
When they arrived back Heidi was in a better mood the call had been to a man that had shoot himself in the leg because he was trying to shoot the sticker off the bottom of his trainers "Wow there are still some very stupid dodos out there" Chase laughed as he walked with Heidi, Jordan and Lara "Dont you think that he would have known to take off his shoe and then take of the sticker?" Lara asked. Jordan giggled and shook his head "Now that is way to easy." Heidi put the medical bag she was carrying down on the table "And also where would be the fun in that?" She laughed as a bright smile light her face. For the first time since she found out she felt happy and at peace. Lara put her arm around Heidi's shoulders "It would be no fun at all. It would be safe but safe is always boring" Heidi laughed and linked her arm that wasn't pressed against Lara through Jordans arm pulling him close "Do you remember the guy that fell off a lader because he was wearing flip flopes and carrying a drill and a hot cup of tea. The drill went through his shoulder and he burt himself now that is what i call stupid. It was so funny when he said i wont be doing that again" She giggled shaking her head "People will just never learn not to do silly stupid stuff" Jordan nodded smiling at her happy to see that her mood has improved since this morning "Well if they did stop doing this stuff then we would be out of a job. People will always get hurt and need to be rescued" Heidi nodded looking around "Have you guys seen Michelle today?" She asked tightening her arm around Jordan's arm "Nope i haven't seen her since friday" Jordan told her and the looked at Chase when he said "I guess she is in a meeting"
Vince and Dean walked over to them "Michelle is away with Ian and James for a long awaited holiday so i am the boss" He told them with a smile "Well more boss like than i normally am" They all laughed rolling there eyes "So i will be doing Michelle's job as well as my own. I thought that i might shake this up abit and make Heidi team leader for the next call out. That is if she up to it." He said looking at her "Oh my god really Vince? I would love to be" She throw her arms around him and hugged him tightly "I am so excited" She jumped up and down and the others huged her "Well done baby you are going to do great" Lara said with a huge smile on her face.
They all got going on the jobs that they had been assigned earlier. Jordan and Heidi were washing the patrol cars. Jordan took a deep breath and turned to Heidi "Heidi i was wondering are you doing anything this evening?" He asked looking hopefull "Nope nothing at all. Why?" Heidi asked smiling this was the moment that she had been waiting for since she joined rescue "Well i was hoping that you would go to dinner with me then maybe a movie" Jordan replied. Heidi grinned at him "Just the two of us?" Jordan nodded "Like a date?" She asked. Jordan nodded "Yes a date" Heidi giggled "Meet me out here at 7 after shift then our date can begin" She smiled and kissed his cheek. "I cant wait" Jordan mumbled feeling so happy that he was finally going to go on a date with the woman he is in love with.
