Conclusion

"Mail's here!" announced Johnny, walking into the kitchen and throwing a stack of envelopes on the table.

Roy looked up from his newspaper and asked, "Anything for me?"

Johnny sifted through the envelopes and scowled, "Yeah, there is one to you and me in here."

Johnny plucked up the letter and looked at the return address.

"Hey, remember that women's lib columnist, Cassie Roland, that girl who came to Station 51 about a year and a half ago?" Johnny inquired.

"Yeah, did she finally decide to send us that clipping?" Roy asked.

"I don't know…" Johnny murmured, opening the letter and reading its contents.

Roy let down the newspaper and watched his partner's jaw drop.

"What is it?" inquired Roy.

"I don't believe it! This is incredible!" exclaimed Johnny, sitting down next to Roy.

"Well, what does it say?" Roy questioned again.

"It's just absolutely unbelievable!" Johnny cried out again.

"Gage!" Roy barked in the authoritative voice that always made Johnny snap-to and listen to what he was saying.

"What?" Johnny inquired, looking alarmed.

"Maybe you'd like to read the letter so you can share with your old friend just what is so incredible and unbelievable," Roy told him.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry. Well, listen to this: 'To my two favorite paramedics, I'm really sorry I didn't get a hold of you as soon as I submitted my story so long ago. You'd be surprised how much my life has changed. And it's all thanks to you. Exactly 24 hours after I left you back at Rampart I gave the story to my editor. As always, the slacker hardly even read the paper before putting it in the magazine. He sure was surprised when he found out the following week that his 'women's lib' column had a different feel to it. I wrote about my dealings with Station 51, from beginning to end. And the response was amazing. Women from all over began asking me, of all people, for advice on marriages and relationships that were going sour. They said they trusted my judgment most, because of any column they'd ever read, they'd never seen someone so able to see both sides like that. They said my perspective of men and women were so equal, clear, and open-minded, they felt like I was the correct person to ask. So, my editor urged me to do a 'Dear Abby' type of column. Well, let me tell you that it escalated so much that even I was surprised by the popularity. I then decided to get an agent, now my husband, to help me start-up some conferences on marital help. I now travel all over the US with my husband, guiding couples of all ages in how to make their relationships work better. And, like I said, it was all thanks to you. You're the greatest! I told you I'd never forget you, and I haven't. So, if you are willing, I'd like you to come to one of the conferences to be introduced to my audience this upcoming month. I'll be in Los Angeles and as soon as I get there, I'm coming to see you! I hope you'll write back and I pray that you'll agree to come to my conference. Love, Cassie Roland-Barton.'"

Roy's eyes widened, "You're right, Johnny. That's incredible."

"Exactly…so are you going to go to that conference of hers?"

"Sounds interesting, and I definitely want to see her. But I wonder if she's become crazy about this job, just like she did with the women's lib column," Roy murmured.

"Well, what so bad about wanting to help relationships go smoother? Really, what's the worst that could happen?" Johnny replied, standing up to leave the room.

"I wish you hadn't said that…" sighed Roy, standing up and muttering, "With this girl, I think anything is possible."


I can't believe I finished it! Haha! Well, as you can see, I left the end open for another story. Shall I continue this, or just quit while I'm ahead. It's up to my reviewers! Thanks so much for you loyal Emergency! fans that stuck with me even while Iw as on writer's block! You've been 'incredible!' as Johnny would say.

As always, constructive criticism and compliments are welcomed!
