Jamie: sleep well
Eddie: yeah thanks
She goes to the tent that she is sharing with Nikki and goes to bed
Riley: my story huh? Where do I start
Jamie: how about the beginning
Riley: I can do that please forgive me if I repeat myself
Danny: no one here but us
Riley: I was born in Kalispell, Montana my mom was an aviator in the U.S. Navy she flew F-14 Tomcats my sisters and I lost her when she was shot down over Iraq returning home from a mission. Our dad was a Navy Seal who was killed in country just after my 17th birthday. I became a firefighter at 17 I was inspired by my great grandfather be right back
She gets up and goes to the nearest rest room
Jamie: she has a 5 year old daughter
Danny: is the father in the picture?
Jamie: not sure what do you think of her?
Danny: besides she's beautiful and I want to know more about her
Jamie: could not agree with you more
Riley comes back from the bathroom and she grabs another beer then sits down in her seat
Riley: where was I, oh I know my great grandfather was a Battalion Chief and he was my inspiration to become a firefighter. He was killed during a four alarm fire the ceiling collapsed and he was trapped they were not able to get him out in time
Jamie: wow that must have been hard
Riley: it was but I know everything happens for a reason. Right after my dad died I joined the Army and was stationed at Ft. Carson just outside of Colorado Springs I got out four years ago. There was this one call I will never forget it was a Friday early evening I think it was around 5:30 when we got a call for a 3 alarm apartment fire that was quickly escalating when we arrived on scene there were 2 other departments battling the fire they got most of those who lived there out. I went in along with my best friend Trystan to clear the building. I heard a family calling out and they sent more of us in to get them out. We lost 3 along with the family I went into save. Trystan was one of them that died that night. The family was a mom, dad and two young children. I was so devastated and upset I went to the local watering hole and drank myself into oblivion I don't really remember much after I left the bar except I went home with a guy I met there 9 months later my beautiful angel Kilya Trystan named after my best friend was born. The only good thing to come out of that tragic, horrible and horrific night was my daughter
Riley is silently crying
Jamie: are you ok to continue?
Riley: yeah I am good after I got out I moved back to my home town and 6 months later I became a Lieutenant and a volunteer Smoke Jumper. I love what I do and I would not give it for the world
Danny: where do you live now? Jamie says that he works with you sometimes
Riley: we do and I live in Frog Hollow in Elizabeth, NY
Jamie: what an incredible story
Riley: it's my life I moved to New York to be closer to my family and I don't want to miss a moment of it
Jamie: what do you have planned for tomorrow?
Riley: taking the girls to Lost River Gorge in Woodstock would you like to come along?
Jamie: that would be great if you don't mind
Riley: not at all now if you'll excuse me I am off to bed, breakfast is at 8 night
She gets up and heads to bed for the night
Danny: do you still want to ask her out on a date?
Jamie: more thank anything
Danny: I will see what I can do
He looks at his watch and it's 2 am
Jamie: what time is it?
Danny: shit it's around 2. Have no fear match maker Danny is here
Jamie: what was that?
Danny: nothing let's hit the sack
They go to the only tent remaining and they go to bed
