(56) Challenge: Day 17 - 12/17/19
Song: A Drop In The Ocean by Ron Pope
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
"Hey, Brett did that Ryan guy ever call you back after your lunch?"
Brett looked up at Foster and shook her head, "No, I told him that I'm not really looking for someone to go out with right now."
Foster looked over at Brett as she was parking the ambulance in its designated spot, "But you are trying to get back out there, right?"
Brett laughed at her friends intruding behavior, "Yeah...it just didn't feel right with him you know?"
Foster nodded, "I get it, you were just trying to let him off easy."
"Yeah, he just didn't seem like the one for me. Honestly, I'm not sure who is anymore."
Foster looked over at Casey sitting by Severide at the squad table and whispered, "Oh, I think I know who is."
"What'd you say?" Asked Brett while she hopped into the back of the ambulance to start refilling supplies they had just used on their last call.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just going to get a snack from the kitchen, do you want anything?"
Brett smiled, "No, I'm good, Foster. Thanks for asking though."
I don't wanna waste the weekend,
If you don't love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it's time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
Casey looked over at Brett and smiled, 'God, she's so beautiful. Why can't I just gain the courage I need and ask her out?'
Casey was soon interrupted from his daydreaming about a certain blonde paramedic when Severide came over and asked what his plans for the weekend were.
- AMBULANCE SIXTY-ONE - DISTRESSED MALE AT BATTERY PARK - AMBULANCE SIXTY-ONE
Foster and Brett ran from the kitchen and to the ambulance in record time. Both were very eager to get to Battery Park, as it was a place right on the water where a lot of up to no good teenagers liked to congregate.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't take what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
"Please help our friend, I think he's having a seizure!" Cried one young girl as Brett and Foster jumped out of the ambulance and ran to who they assumed was the person in distress.
"Okay, we need everyone to back up and give us some room to work." Yelled Brett as she got down on the ground next to the boy who was convulsing.
Foster got down next to Brett and asked the young girl who greeted them what his name is.
"I think...it's Ethan. I'm not really sure he just started coming here with us the other day."
Brett and Foster both tried to hold the boy down, in hopes that would help stabilize him and stop the current seizure that seemed to be ripping his body in two.
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don't take what you don't need, from me.
"Hey, Kidd do you know what Brett's favorite restaurant is here in town?"
Kidd dropped the hose she was holding in her hand and turned to look at her Captain, "Umm...yeah maybe. Care if I ask why?"
Casey turned to Kidd and whispered, "I was thinking about taking her out to dinner."
"Really!?" Asked Kidd as she felt immediate joy.
Casey laughed, "Yeah, Kidd. Just please don't tell everyone around the house. I don't want Brett to find out from Herman or Mouch before I have the chance to ask her."
"Got it, Captain. I will ask Brett when she and Foster get back then I will text you."
"Thanks, Kidd." Yelled Casey as he walked back into the house.
"No problem, Captain." Called Kidd before she turned to make sure no one was looking then broke out into a silent happy dance.

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.

"Foster, you start turning him on the backboard, and I'll go move the ambulance closer."
Foster nodded as she watched Brett get up off the ground and start to run to the ambulance, "Got it, Brett."
Brett was so concentrated on moving the ambo as close to the patient and Foster that she didn't hear the old Ford pickup truck barreling its way towards her.
"Brett!" Yelled Foster as she watched the truck slam into the side of Brett causing the ambulance to flip over into the open water.
"Casey." Whispered Brett before her heavy eyelids finally won and pulled her into the unconscious state that all of firehouse fifty-one found her in.
