Hey everyone thanks for the reviews and follows it mean a lot to me. There's a new character in this chapter and a bit of a break from the rather intense scenes that have been going on…let me know what you think!

Both Nancy and Christie picked up the bags that they had brought in with them and started making their way out the door but not before a call came over the intercom.

'House fire…1751 Station Avenue, Engine 51, Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61, Battalion 25.'

The message finished and the firehouse was plunged into action the two lieutenants and the chief emerged from the office and sprung into action, anxious to get back to work.

The atmosphere in the truck was silent and awkward until Casey finally spoke up 'Guys, I don't want anything that just happened to change this team, I respect you guys and I want you to know that having spoken to Boden and Severide, I have decided to take Callum to court and get him put away for what he did and I would really like your support in that.'

'Lieutenant, you have our full support in all of this, no matter what happens.' Replied Hermann.

'Thanks guys, it's good to be back to normal.' Replied Casey relieved.

'Now Otis seriously, you tied by shoelaces together, again!' joked Cruz.

'Hey, hey, I didn't do it the first time, that was Matt.' Replied Otis, laughing as he tried to defend himself.

'That true lieutenant?' asked Cruz.

'Of course not, I'd never do anything like that.' Said Matt feigning innocence and sending Mills and Hermann into hysterical laughter.

'Seriously,' laughed Cruz, 'I didn't think you were that childish anymore.'

'Nah,' replied Casey 'I've always been like this, just ask Hermann.'

'Yeah, he was always like that,' confirmed Hermann 'even as a candidate, him, Darden and Severide, were like little menaces.'

'Come on, we weren't that bad.' Replied Casey, 'Wait, were we?'

'What did they do?' asked Mills intrigued by what both of his lieutenants had gotten up to when they were candidates.

'Ok, I'll tell you but don't get any ideas, their first year here on Halloween was when they first started getting a reputation. The three of them covered every spare inch of Boden's office in post it note, they were so lucky that they were Boden's favorite candidates ever, anyone else and they would have been in trouble.'

Then Kelly piped up over the radio 'Hey, Hermann you forgot what we did after that for April fools!'

'Hey, no I didn't I would just prefer not to get into that again.' Said Hermann.

'C'mon Hermann what did they do?' asked Mills eagerly.

'Oh, come on Hermann it wasn't our worst one.' Said Kelly and Matt.

Just then Boden decided to join in 'Their first April fools in the house, hadn't even been here a year but they already had a reputation. They borrowed Hermann's kit and made it all pink, right down to the boot, it didn't turn back to the right colour for over a week.'

'Wait, so you went on calls for like two weeks wearing pink kit.' Laughed Mills as Hermann nodded in reply, 'How did you get it to go pink?'

'Ah, can't tell you that, it's a secret.' Replied Severide.

Shortly after the laughter dwindled down the teams arrived at the fire.

The building manager ran up to Boden and relayed the situation to the chief 'Everyone else is out apart from Emma James and her son Jackson the guy who lives on the floor below them, David, went in to find them but he hasn't come out yet, they live in the attic apartment. Please find Jackson, he's only four, he's a really sweet kid.'

'Okay, truck you're on the primary search go straight to the attic that's where the victims are, a man, a woman and her child. Severide have we got a vent?'

'That's a negative chief, we're working on it now, give me around thirty seconds. Ok, we got it the vent is open.' Confirmed Severide.

'Hermann with me everyone else as soon as we get the two victims out throw the water on it.' Ordered Casey before running through the front door of the house.

As soon as they reached the top floor the pair started calling out for David and Jack.

'Chicago fire department, call out.' Shouted Casey and Hermann.

Both men had been calling out for almost two minutes when they heard a faint voice from the back corner of the room.

Hermann reached out and caught hold of a charred arm.

'Casey, I found the guy who went in to find them, I've got a pulse, he's not conscious but he's still breathing.' Announced Hermann.

'Take him out of here Hermann, I'll wait and find the kid and the woman.' Ordered Casey sending Hermann out of the room. 'Chicago fire department, call out, Jackson, Emma are you in here?'

'I'm over here.' Came a small voice from under the bed.

'Hey Jack, my name's Matt let's get you out of here, ok?' said Matt softly as he reached under the bed and pulled out the small boy cowering below picking him up and pulling him into his jacket.

Jack clung onto Matt's shirt as he was carried from the burning building,

'Shay,' Matt called to the paramedic seeing she was free, 'This is Jack can you check him over for me?'

'Sure.' Shay replied.

'Chief, I couldn't find the woman I don't even know if she was in there' said Casey to Boden.

'Hey, Mr Barrett.' Called the chief gesturing over the building manager 'Are you sure that the woman was in there, we couldn't find her.'

'I don't know, I haven't seen her in a couple of days, she wasn't exactly the most committed mother.' Replied Mr Barrett.

Matt tried to put the small boy down on the gurney but he had latched onto him so he just sat on the gurney with Jack on his lap whilst Shay did the checks. When Shay was finished Jack looked up to Matt tears still running down his cheeks his blue eyes staring up at the man he had latched onto.

'Hey Jack, I need to ask you an important question. Was your mommy in the house when the fire started?' asked Casey.

'No, she left yesterday with Peter, her new boyfriend.' Replied Jack beginning to cry harder.
