Chapter 1: Beginnings
Summary: A new girl joins the squad. She is looking for a new start and a better life then what she had known.
"Hi, I'm Val. What's your name?"
"Hi, I'm Nikki."
"Nikki...You're Alex's niece aren't you?"
"Yeah, I think we worked together for a couple of weeks a couple of years ago."
"I remember...So what brings you to Kingsport?"
"Well...my parents were killed in a car accident about a month ago. Alex took custody of me."
"I'm so sorry. How are you holding up?" Val asked giving me a hug.
"I'm doing okay. It's a rough transition though. Alex and my parents are completely different, so it's really hard."
Tyler and Hank walk into the rec room.
"Hey guys, this is Nikki. She's Alex's niece."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Tyler and this is Hank."
"Hi, nice to meet you," I said forcing myself to smile.
Alex walked in.
"Oh good, everyone's here. Wait a minute, where's Jamie?"
"Detention, where else?" Tyler said.
"Sounds like me," I said.
"Okay, well, as I'm sure you already know, this is my niece Nikki. She's going to be working with you guys from now on. Nikki, could you go help Brooke please?"
"Sure," I said leaving.
"I don't know how much she's told you, but you need to really look out for her. Her parents died a month ago in a car crash. She's living with me now. You need to make her as comfortable as possible, okay?
"Sure."
"No problem."
"Got it."
"Okay, and could you clue Jamie in when he gets here?"
"Sure," Hank said.
"Thank you," Alex said leaving.
I walked back into the rec room completely unaware of what Alex had told them.
"So, how long are you visiting Alex?" Hank asked.
"I'm not exactly visiting. My parents were killed in a car crash. I'm living with Alex now."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
"I'm actually doing okay, It's kind of a hard transition though."
"Hey, you're a cheerleader aren't you?" Val asked.
"Yeah, I love it. It's weird not doing it though."
"How much training do you have?" Hank asked.
"I'm working for my EMT Intermediate certification. On my old squad I helped make a lot of the decisions."
"Cool, you should fit in really well."
"Especially if you like pulling pranks," Jamie said coming in.
"You're looking at the girl who rearranged Alex's entire office a year and a half ago. Everything was switched from one side of the room to the other and upside down. I also rearranged all his file cabinets."
"So you're the one who did that!" Tyler said.
"It took us a week to fix everything!" Hank said.
"I don't think I've ever seen Alex so mad or surprised at one time!" Val said.
"Oh, you should have seen him when he figured out it was me!"
"Hi, I'm Jamie," he said sitting down next to me, "I think we're going to get along just great!"
We laughed.
"So what are you doing around here?"
"Well, my parents were killed in a car crash. I'm living with my Uncle Alex now."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Thanks. I think thing's are going to be better here then they were in Chicago."
The alarm went off.
"Let's do this," Hank said standing up.
We hurried to the ambulance.
Things are definitely going to be better here, I thought to myself.
This is my first Fanfic and I plan to add more soon.
Well, what do you think? Let me know. I love getting reviews.
