Chapter 2

Before DK could make the introductions, the radio announced a call,

"SQUAD 55, LADDER 100 RESPOND TO A FIRE IN AN OCCUPIED BUILDING."

Once in the truck DK called out to the squad, "Attention everyone, this is our new transfer from Chicago, Cameron Sanders." "Cameron, you will be partnered up with Billy Walsh"

"Yes, Sir" she answered.

"Your other coworkers are Doherty, Howell, Roberts, Lombardo, and Logan."

They began to get acquainted when they saw the fire up ahead. When they exited Cameron saw Billy and got set to follow him when he said that they were just doing a primary sweep of the third floor which was the top floor. After finishing the primary sweep of the third floor DK noticed that Cameron seemed to be moving a little stiffly, so he partnered up with her for the remainder of the call. On the way back DK addressed the squad, "Nice job out there, Cameron see me in my office once we return." "Yes, Sir" she replied.

Once Cameron was in DK office, he told her to close the door, as soon as the door was shut he confronted her on her stiff controlled movements at the scene.

"Are you in pain today?" he asked

"I'm just a little tired, been a long time since I had full gear on like that." She answered.

"I noticed in your file that you have only just recently cleared for full duty. So if you need to take it easy I'd be happy to let you, ok" he told her.

"Thanks, I don't think I need to take it easy I think that it was just because I moved my stuff into my apartment yesterday and didn't have a lot of help."

"Ok, that's all I needed to know."
